> [@snowthx](#): > > I dont mind eating alone in a restaurant. > [@LSLGuy](#): > > Strangers ask me for directions. In places I’ve never been to before. Huh, I never knew that these were considered male stereotypes; they’re a routine part of life for (female) me. (I also enjoy going to the movies by myself, but have never known a guy who didn’t consider that doing so would be unacceptably loser-esque behavior on his part.)
