Stopped an older woman to say something and she looked unnerved.

Stopped an older woman to say something and she looked unnerved. Was wearing a sweatshirt and sweatpants, realized if I was dressed nicer, she would have felt safer. Is there something I can wear to signal I’m sane without looking too dressed up?

    Urgh just no. just like.. DO NOT. AS A FEMALE THIS IS TERRIFYING WHEN CREEPY MEN APPROACH YOU. UNLESS YOU ARE INVITED. do not.

      Men have been approaching women for thousands of years and now is the safest time for you in history. 200+ years ago a man could have just literally grabbed you and ran off and it was mildly socially acceptable. Get over yourself. 99/100 men are just going to come up and ask you out or spill their spaghetti

      Maybe don’t dress like a street hoodlum if you want to be taken seriously and not as a potential mugging.

      > She got creeped cause you dress bad
      Yes
      It seems like everyone either wears sweats or is dressed for a specific place, is there a better version of sweats? Should I just get a nice watch?

        Yeah, get a nice gold rolex. If you cant afford it, just get a fake because those are just as good. If you want to signal that you have enough money to not be mugging people, also get some Jays.

          Get literally any watch that isn’t plastic and 99% of people will treat you exactly the same.

      Being good looking is such a privilege honestly.

      I wear hoodies with the hood on all winter and old women still stop me to ask for assistance.

        Might be able to muster a comeback as a Willem Dafoe “is he ugly, is he handsome” odd looking bloke if he can keep from blowing his brains out or becoming obese.

          He has no chin. There is no way for him to graduate to masculinity which is how you last through your 30s and onward as a leading man. He will be a supporting actor. Maybe he will bog himself with a chin implant like Zak Effron.

    Getting approached by a stranger can weird anybody out.

    ditch the sweatpants and hoodie. trade the hoodie for a crew neck and the sweatpants for fitted or straight cut jeans. wear some type of hebrewelry (minimal) and don’t wear ugly tennis shoes or crocs.

    I went out today in a black hoodie and dark jeans. I’m white, but I noticed people noticeably glare at me/treat me weird, even waiters at a restaurant, as opposed to when I’m wearing a nice, approachable sweater and chinos.

    If this had been the sweatshirt and sweatpants you had been wearing, she would have immediately known that you had no intention of committing a crime, as your last “stretch” left you sore and downtrodden. It’s the subtle touches.

    A smile and a ponytail, birkenstocks, logos that prove you aren’t poor. Chicks love logos. The North Face or Fjallraven or Patagonia or Polo on your clothes say I’m not a poor. If rural a Cabelas says I am a family man. Adidas and nike and champion are poor.
