and, of course, all of this happens inside a void of delusion and paranoia.
I hear a lot on this site about what women do, how they behave, how they operate, what their flaws are, why the experiences of some men have led them to be distrustful of women...I mean, they are purported right here on this very thread.
Just as all women have to, in the larger, societal sense, bear the burden of the misunderstandings and bad behavior associated with their female counterparts, so do men.
What's more, why is small talk about the weather with a stranger supposed to be so goddamned welcome? I'm going to surmise that a significant proportion of the population, male or female, doesn't find that activity enjoyable. Add to that the fact that, if you're a woman and this is a guy, it's highly likely that the gentleman has already imagined sticking his dick in you. Oh, yay, how lovely and inspiring.
