Yeah - if you are talking about black culture in London then I imagine that is a different situation altogether.

I imagine that is a lot more forward compared to white culture in London.

I am no expert on the differences - but that seems to be a universal thing.

Take these three songs - and try and guess which one was written by the white guy? :-)

Has anyone been able to confirm whether this is real or not? This smells of serious trolling...and yet you can't put anything past womens' groups & the gov't these days.

The thing is, the urban culture is a fusion of everything. A lot of younger guys (one of my mates there is about 34 and grew up on hip hop and ball) would even argue against there being a black culture. I know a lot of hip white British guys who go hard in the paint like Ben Wallace.

[cardguy]

I think urban culture is a big thing among hip white guys.

But I imagine that white dudes have to dial it back quite a bit when interacting with white chicks.

Chicks don't want real danger. They want the illusion of edginess and danger.

Guys listen to NWA - and bitches be listening to New Kids of The Block and fantasizing about what a bad boy Joey is.

I see what's going on here. Public ''masturbating'' is purposely used in the same context with asking them where they're from, and these two are compared to each other on a public ad board without even an attempt to hide it. The point here is not the left half of warnings, they are just a tool to criminalize and shame people for doing the right half of warnings. They probably thought ''hey, let's make it not okay to approach women. But how? Oh wait, let's compare it to masturbating!'' Very sneaky and smart. The same tactic as expanding the definition of rape to drunk sex.

Yeah - it is a totally different situation for foreign guys when they visit the UK.

What's your take on the forementioned situation in London? Is the British culture somewhat rendered moot there cos it's such a multicultural city?

Thinking about it more, notice that these signs are only popping up in multicultural zones like LA and London.

It's probably the case that most girls aren't comfortable with talking to guys outside of the culture they grew up with, creating low levels of social trust. Ergo signs that say no talking to strangers.

Just another benefit of diversity

More like girls are'nt comfortable with talking to unsexy men. Bitches move to these areas for the diversity in dick similar to them studying abroad and volunteering in Africa for the "experience".

What's the defence against a day approach?

'He tried to talk to me!' 'He tried to hit on me!'

As long as you aren't uncalibrated and going direct on a girl that is clearly closed off to an approach, there should never be a problem. And besides, if you are approaching cute girls, that have a feminine vibe of some sorts they will welcome your approach.

I can see feminists with skrillex haircuts making a scene about being approached, but I won't ever have to worry about that scenario because I don't even consider approaching them to begin with.

Is there any evidence that the image in the OP is real?

I found the following image which is clearly fake, and one of these was photoshopped from the other, or both were photoshopped.

[turkishcandy]

On the other hand, in women's defense, this must be their push-back to RSD PUAs collectively spam-approaching every female on the horizon. 1 approach a day should be flattering for a woman, 2, maybe even 3, but 5, 10, 20? It must be frustrating getting continuously asked the same questions by self-proclaimed PUAs mimicking their cult leaders. You need to consider the fact that nowadays any wordofwarcraft-playing omega who watches 5 simplepickup videos and 2 RSD videos is thinking ''hey, I think I'm gonna go out and give it a try.'' I'm more angry at those trolls than at the idiots who put these signs.

You've got a point. It would be annoying to be a good-looking woman sometimes.

I get approached by ugly and fat girls, and it's awkward and often distracts me when I'm focused on something else.

It would get old if it went down 24/7.

Well society is changing. The basic fundamentals of life are being denied to the newer generation. You need codes and to change your entire being just to get a fat lizard. You have reptiles damaged by self entitlement fuelled by feminism which chain links bad nutrition (lizards believe they deserve Matthew Mconnaughey even though they look like Rosie O'Donnel).

As a result, the kickback is a bunch of hungry cats, trying to 'strike it rich' with lines and wigs and hats.

Back in the day, where all you had to do was offer 50 percent of the effort (Hi, how are you doing, my name is Tom, can I get you a glass of water?) sometimes even 45 percent effort and you would pull your fair share of reptiles.

[cardguy]

Yeah - and the smartphones aren't helping.

People feel more comfortable hanging with their friends online rather than in person.

For the younger people. The concept of talking - in person - to a stranger is mindblowing.

[The Beast1]

Too many low value RSD and PUA artist guys.

To the guys that frequent RvF, the theme of consistent self improvement should not scare you from signs like this. Remember, it's only creepy if the guy is of low value.

If you're posting on this forum, you are not a low value guy and understand the multi faceted approach needed to seduce.

[Foolsgo1d]

I second the 'too many "PUA's" approaching with their thirst'. Last night was a great example for me. I clocked 5 guys going around places I were at just trying to get a girls attention and failing really bad at it but these guys were not ugly by any means.

Smartphones+thirsty crowds = bad times for little interactions


Doesn't British Transport have those "Dave didn't masturbate on the train today, good on you Dave" ?

Sure but is this realistic?
Where in the world does a woman get approached 20 times a day?

Ive done daygame for years and I can count on one hand the number of daygame approaches Ive witnessed. Its extremely niche in my neck of the woods. Maybe its different in a hotspot like London I dont know...

[Heathree]

Though unusual talking to strangers in UK, British women are totally ok with a guy approaching as long as the guy is sociable and more importantly high value. If a guy appears to have higher a status then her, she will not complain.

If a lower demographic council house dweller approaches a high class chick, it will not be appreciated. It all a case of 'this guy can offer me something so its ok' and 'that guy has little to offer so fuck off'.

As for Jamaicans and black people in general, they are far more sociable then English people. But their effect is really only noticeable in poorer inner city areas, they don't really have much effect with the middle class society. Without being disrespectful in anyway, as a generalisation black folks are poorer then the English counterparts and the influence is limited in the middle classes who are the backbone of society.

However that is slowly changing with second and third generation black folk. Add to the fact with immigration, only the highly skilled (e.g. doctors, engineers, etc) from outside Europe are allowed into the UK now. So you get more wealthy Africans who have the chance to shape society.

[Tuthmosis]

I'm doubting the poster in the original post is untampered. While I can imagine a notice criminalizing male behavior or talking to women, I just can't see a public notice using the word "masturbating" in a "family setting." That may be tame by our standards, but that's not a word that gets thrown around on public signs willy-nilly.

This shit is way too specific. If you've visited other American cities, you've seen shit like this, and the message is usually rather vague. "Give me my space!" and similar generic statements.

This is probably tampered-with, like the must sloppier job Liz posted above. Either that, or this was made by a third party to make it seem like an LA Metro campaign--another stupid feminist "art project." The use of buzz words like "unsafe space" are dead-giveaways.

Also, the last sentence is incoherent. "Mr. Bus Driver, I'm unable to stop harassing passengers. Please help me."

[Dusty]

I'm offended at the heteronormative and cis-gendered privileged underlying message in the sign.

"Respect our women"? What about the transgendered? What about homosexual men? Someone needs to check their goddamn privilege stat!

I'm hopping mad I tell ya, hopping mad!

Haha no way this is real.
