    assume bad hygiene or “Seems like an appropriate response to a man who takes a womens studies course to try and pick up women”

    I gotta say, I never had any of these problems in college. And I won’t even pretend I had great hygiene or particularly good social skills. The trick with college is that 19 year old girls also didn’t have great hygiene or well-developed social skills. We were all a bunch of clueless, fumbling, young adults trying to figure each other out.

    Let’s set aside the fact that OP is probably lying. When one guy gets ostracized by an entire classroom of other students, it’s safe to assume one of two things:

    • The classroom is full of bigots who hate This One Guy for a very particular cultural reason (maybe you made a mistake going to South Confederacy Technical College as a black guy looking to meet white chicks)

    • The guy is so universally obnoxious that he can’t get the time of day from the second biggest loser in the room

    Am I the only one that’s surprised that the comments are so negative?

    If it was posted on anything but 4chan, maybe. But anyone who knows the reputation of the average 4chan user can come up with a host of reasons why people are avoiding him like the plague.

      Brother, ain’t this the truth.

      I didn’t make any friends with my same-age classmates just by casually talking.

      Then I went to night classes with full grown adults and i was invited to dinners and birthday parties immediately.
