Red pill in London displayed by a doctor unprovoked?
Hey all. 26F from London here.
On my way to university this morning, a man stopped me. He was well put together, said he’d noticed me a few times and finally wanted to approach me because he found me attractive and wanted to get to know me. He mentioned he’s a doctor at Whipps Cross — I could see his lanyard so I believe he was telling the truth. He was genuinely attractive too.
For context, I’m not really someone who talks to people easily in real life. I went three years without dating anyone at all, and I’m only just slowly dipping my toes back into meeting people — unsuccessfully so far, but I’m trying.
This situation has genuinely thrown me. I’m usually pretty good at picking up on subtle misogyny, but this conversation was something else entirely. I’ve attached screenshots — these are literally the only messages we exchanged.
My question is: are other women finding that men are approaching them and almost immediately coming out with this kind of thing? Is this becoming normal? Because I’m genuinely baffled.
