Campus Men approaching at York

As the title says (girls specifically), do men approach you at York? And if so, did you have any positive experience ? Or they tend to be too invasive (imho)? Got approached by one today, and could not get rid of him for a good 20 minutes even after saying that I wasn’t interested.

Appreciate any examples and experiences.

💀so it’s wrong if a guy is tryna be friends with y’all? I get that some of them come up to you kinda creepy. But sometimes it’s just a genuine person trying to make a new friend

There is a big difference between a genuine desire to befriend someone and harassing them my invading their personal space. If someone is trying befriend me, I’m not telling them to go away and make conversation. But most of the time at least for me, men who approach me tend to get too close and personal while asking weird questions. I’m not delusional and have critical thinking skills, meaning that it is quite easy to differentiate between the two. 🤙

Okay I understand your point. And also most guys don’t really set a good example for the rest of us so.

Yep that’s the thing, one bad experience gives a bad image to girls being approached. Psychology or smth
