A young woman has publicly explained her deliberate choice to act unpleasantly toward men seeking closeness.
In a social media post on X (formerly Twitter), she described how a gym encounter reshaped her behavior. She maintains that male acquaintances often misinterpret kindness.
Reason Behind Her Behavior
“I intentionally maintain slight coldness toward men because excessive warmth makes them assume romantic interest. Why would my gym acquaintance invite me to his residence? I simply purchased Pocari sweat for him. Does he lack affection at home?”

Her perspective quickly gained attention online. Thousands responded with personal viewpoints and experiences.
Varied Responses Emerge
User Uni_corn questioned: “How does a house invitation imply intimacy? Do you yourself receive adequate affection?”
Isdinlee_bobo countered: “Gifts symbolize care and interest – qualities many men rarely experience. The thought matters more than the item.”
Elizabeth shared humorously: “After buying gala for someone, he pursued me romantically. It was merely a snack, not an invitation!”
Sabi_HR offered another perspective: “Men aren’t conditioned to accept female generosity. Kindness often registers as unusual rather than platonic.”
Pirrip observed: “Men seldom gift women they dislike. A woman buying for a man suggests attraction, regardless of denials.”
This exchange continues fueling discussions about kindness boundaries and contrasting gender interpretations of friendly gestures.
