I quite often feel americans show a lot of interest in new people they meet. If I tell something about myself usually they think its ‘amazing’ or ‘wonderful’, ask questions, not often steer the conversation to themselves. I think thats a quite nice cultural thing you have.

I agree this is nowadays hard to find. old school forums on specific topics (tech, games, music) tend to catch this. Gaming groups (guilds, multiplayer based games, modding communities) I have had great interactions on.

Anything that is a bit more ‘specific’ or focused around a hobby tends to work good for opening discussions. Its a shame a lot is focused on reddit but not all is so don’t lose hope!

Sure, have a nice day

Thanks for the reading tip! Made a note on my to read list.

And regarding the ‘girlyness’, I agree that’s undefinable, differs per person you would ask. I’d assume ‘woman-haters’ are not really aware of that. So they would be hating a made up view that is a overgeneralization based on personal experiences.

I guess this still leaves the initial question open (and undoubtly, one that cannot be anwsered properly): how does disliking woman actually work?

Thanks! :)

Yeah I might be a bit naive sometimes. Or in my kinda feministic bubble and not really understand how hating woman works

Sort of. Not liking half of the world population is in its own a weird claim, the more you think of it. Unless ‘liking’ in this context only refers to attractiveness.

But if not (might get a bit philosophical here) I do not think its actually possible to ‘dislike all woman’ based on any criteria.

Unless someone dislikes everybody. That is fine I guess.

Edit: sorry only read your first sentence and did my reply on that. What you are referring to is then disliking girlyness. That should be possible I think. Buy yeah then someone should like a non-girly woman I assume.

Edit2: please don’t hate on me for commenting as a male on your community. Read the rules a bit late. I won’t infer with other stuff here, this image just popped on my feed.

How does ’not liking woman’ actually work? I can’t really grasp that
