It’s more than my looks it’s how I am, dress and carry myself. And I understand cause there are some women, say like a Yolanda Adams, that could walk through a mall and not get cat called or approached wrong because she gives off an air of superiority, or just she has worth and will make you feel small if you come at her wrong.
For men, men would show a woman like that more respect, handle her differently. It’s less flirtatious and more of a courting attitude. Because the total package dictates you behave differently.
From what I’ve been told by a lot of women, that same kinda person as a man, to women, makes women with lower self esteem or a feeling of I wouldn’t want them cause I’m “this” makes women have an attitude with you because they make themselves feel less self conscious about by presuming you a ain’t shit nigga, like ..I ain’t want you anyway, before any rejection even happens.
All women don’t react this way with me, I find that confidence women, are very very nice and complimentary to me, overally helpful even, that’s usually women older than me.
And I ain’t tryna Mack or get at these women that do this, I just don’t like the energy I get more often than not, and I care cause ima good guy. I get tired of women treating me like I’m the nigga that fucked their momma, when I ain’t did nothing to them.
Women always presume the worse of me, it leads to a lot of women thinking I’m arrogant because they interpret things I say from an arrogant point of view.
Case in point, I’m waiting for IT at a facility, black woman my age comes up me and says can I help you, are you waiting for education, I say I’m waiting for IT. She goes to apologize to me, I assume because she thinks I’m offended that she thought I was an ex inmate.
I look her in the eyes and say no need to apologize, I understand, cause I really do..
She gets mad and says, you don’t have to have an attitude..
And all I could think is that I get sick of this shit..
Record your day or something. I need full context.
This could be a fun experiment. But um yeah for her to say you don't have to have an attitude and you were being calm and cordial seems off.
Also if you do want a different experience maybe be a more welcoming. If you want a super chipper hello when at the gas station be extra chipper.
I also do understand when your being cordial and you feel dismissed. But bringing it up is good, especially if you work with these people. And overtime their perception will align more with who you really are.
