on a semi related note. why is it that at bottlneck sections of the trail i always invariably seem to get stuck behind a woman whos butt is prominently displayed and i have to awkwardly figure out where to direct my gaze until i can find a wide section of the trail to turbo past them.. its hard being a creepy hairy guy sometimes.

>>2855170
ok fair. ive sort of resigned myself to pretending they dont exist and just walking past as quickly as possible. sigh.

>>2855169
You say "hello" or the local equivalent.

>>2855171
You say "hey can I pass" or "on the left" and turbo past them. While enjoying the view.

Lower your club and crouch down, then grab her by the waist while making sure her upper body is slung over your shoulder, then you stand back up and carry her off to your cave.

>>2855169
For my entire life hiking in the UK I would greet women like any other human being: say "hello" or "hi" which they say back and you walk past each other and that's fine.

Since 2020 there has been a trend of young women wearing inappropriate clothing, and if you say "hi" or anything at all to them or notice they exist they act like you killed their family, because they never hiked before and are only doing so now for performative reasons. So basically, you should ignore them.

These are Instagram thots who never hiked before and don't care about hiking or nature or anything, they're just going to get pictures of themselves wearing very little clothing in particular locations. I have learned that they tend to not be there in wet or cold weather or in non-tourist areas, so it's better to get off the beaten track since these "new hikers" are kind of shit and only there for a lewd photo shoot.

If going in the opposite direction, "hello"

If travelling in same direction, every time they've heard me coming and step aside to let me past. I just say "thanks"
Last time it was on a very steep, very narrow downhill hike there was no way to get past. She did stop eventually to let me past, I just stared at her ass until that time.

I've been in situations where I ended up pacing behind a group of women, and I think the women get sketched out then stop to let me past, which I do and just nod. Then i'll get to inclines and my pace slow down resulting in them catching back up and I end up letting them pass, and the cycle continues until we both eventually reach the same destination. It's always awkward unless their group isn't sketched out and realize you're both going to the same place and we all walk at similar paces.

>>2855169
You simply don’t acknowledge them, even if they call you for help or ask for assistance.
Too many women who go outside are the stupid leftist granola type and are likely to go online bitching and complaining about men if try taking to them, no matter how nice you are.

This reminds of when I was on a tourist path in a national park and I kept passing this boomer who got more and more upset every time I passed him.
First time, he seemed friendly enough when I passed him and greeted him. I then stopped at an overlook and took a bunch of photos. I then had to pass him again and said "Hey again" as I did. He gave an unenthusiastic "hi". I then reached another overlook where I took some more photos. Minutes later, I passed him again and said hi to him again. He didn't say anything this time, but didn't seem particularly annoyed either. The fourth time I passed him and greeted him, he snapped at me and shouted "I'M REALLY GETTING SICK OF YOUUUUUUU!" I was a bit startled since I wasn't expecting that, so I just said a half-hearted "sorry" and kept walking past him while shaking my head. The next time I passed him, I didn't say anything. He just gave me an angry glare. I decided to skip the next few overlooks and interpretive signs to get some distance between us.

Seen any... bears?

>>2855303
None of this is remotely true.

>>2855324
Fucking American boomer.

Every time I've repassed someone, I always go with a cherry "rebonjour" (roughly "hello again") which always brings a chuckle, especially from the women.

>>Mfw I trained myself to avoid conversations on the trail to such an extent that I literally couldn't stop myself and talk to somebody interesting
this is also a problem for me, i've missed several really good opportunities of making conversation with girls because i'm just doing my thing and don't realize, last one was a pretty hot girl with a dog who actually started a conversation with me, asked me which way i had come from or something like that because it was steep and no trail, and i just answered something coridial but then kept walking, even though i was actually planning on stopping there to eat soon anyway

just after i left her i wondered how did she come up, because the normal trail also seemed too steep for her dog, and realized that i actually would have liked to have a conversation with her and so on, and how hot she was and why the fuck did i just leave. later i looped back and stayed over the area a bit looking for her but she was gone

i just can't seem to stay alert for situations like that and see them as opportunities. this happens with people in general not just girls, i met lots of people who seemed such interesting people and that we had lots to talk about, but just spend a few seconds talking and then we each go ou ways

>>2855371
Cute aussie.

>>2855405
I can relate to this, it's not an autism thing like most people thing, I think it's just the way we've trained our brains in the modern world.
Some or even most people on the trail don't actually want to talk, even if you do, so I just started assuming that so as not to bother anyone and play it safe, and over time that habit gets ingrained.
I think it's the same with why most dudes now adays don't cold approach or talk to women, because they've either had bad experiences with it or known a lot of people who have, so we just all become less social and never actually develop beyond this point. Sad world.
I think I actually have an easier time talking to other dudes because it's just far easier to relate to them and find the commonality needed to break out of the habit, but with women they're just always on edge, and I personally don't want to be accused of rape or be called creepy so I just don't even bother anymore.
Like, imagine you try to talk to a girl on the way up a trail, and she just goes down the trail telling everyone "Hey theres some creep up there that tried to talk to me," and then everyone I meet when I'm heading back down all thinks I'm a creep, that's basically how it works. Idk, I just can't trust women in any capacity anymore.

Ultimately no, this shit doesn't bother me, but the trails have been more niggerfied lately where I live, meaning Low IQ, and after having dealt with false rape allegations I just don't really feel inclined to take the risk unless I'm sure the woman involved is 100% sane.

>>2855439
there is some truth to that but mostly you are overthinking it. some people happen to be introverted

>>2855453
I think this is just an excuse people have for being anti-social.
I'm introverted, but I still try to be friendly and cordial. Shitty social skills and poor communication between people have completely eroded social bonds today, the very notion of introversion is designed to protect the behavior that is, at least in part, responsible for building a low trust society, in which nobody can trust anyone, paranoia abounds, marriages plummet, and we all slowly stay trapped indoors.

This is one of those scenarios that only exists in your head. You keep ruminating on it to force yourself to feel miserable. This is not healthy.

>>2855466
It's just been my experience with Women, they tend to lie and take issue with every little thing. I'd like to believe most women aren't like this but I'm consistently proven wrong.
You're right, it's not healthy. But I'm not the one instigating the disharmony of the modern world, I'm only responding to it with caution.

>>2855169
Just say hi and keep moving unless they try to interact more, usually with a question. It is a bit awkward when you're on a section of trail where you can see each other from a long distance but the type of trails I hike usually don't have many places like that.

best way to approach women is a full on sprint. women like a man who is commanding, confident and dominant, so approach full speed and dont slow down. they might recoil out of what is perceived fear, but the truth is they are wetter than the tropics when faced with this.

trust me i know, i have approached alot of women with this method and they all are left stunned and asking me my name and demanding my person be known to everyone including the authorities

I was sitting on the side of the trail with my backpack and this trail running woman with no shirt on came by and I actually hitchhiked a ride from her, it was great, tried to buy her lunch but she had to get to work

You aren't self centered anon you are just an autistic retard, which isn't actually bad bad as it's easier to recover from if you try. I know you won't though so it's kinda tough

>>2855531
Well I'm not autistic, but ya I agree, I could make an effort to be more approachable and less self centered. The problem is I'm just tired of dealing with shitty women, and I have no way to discern good women from bad women anymore, so I've just started to play it safe.
If a reason to improve presents itself, I'm capable of putting in the effort.

>>2855176
>hiking in the UK
I autistically leave my house about midnight and hike until dawn with a route card, map and compass (sometimes getting horribly lost) because as soon as the sun comes up the whole of the English countryside is full of normalfags (unless it's "cold" which for normalfags is under 5c, or it's raining/sleeting/snowing where you can have the land almost to yourself or you'll see some other actual /out/ists)

>>2855531
Not that anon but how do I recover from being an autistic retard? When I try to talk to women I'm all shy as fuck and after 1min max I run out of things to say, having fully summarized the weather or whatever other autistic retard topic of conversation I tried, and can't think of anything else to say and can't sound natural if I do. Nor can I reply to anything they say with more than a sentence or two, and one which leaves them no room to continue the conversation because it was so empty. At this point I either try to disengage or else I go into some kind of full autistic speel about something not even related like a problem I had with my car, or some shit, just to desperately avoid that awkward silence. Basically whenever I talk to someone I don't already know well (although it's much better with men than with women) I make myself feel awkward but also make the other people feel the same way, which makes conversation impossible for them. When I observe normal people talking it seems to come naturally to them, there's none of this shit.

>>2855542
>and can't think of anything else to say
Ask them questions, people love to talk about themselves and will also like you more for listening to them talk about themselves(win win).

Anon it's not that you can't distinguish, it's just that you probably don't run into any good women at all. They are still out there though, I would say just keep looking, but that would be cruel. They exist at church, but idk where you are on your headspace for something like that, but thats where they are
>>2855542
If you are starting from zero the best way to start is to simply listen in and watch women as they talk to other people and understand their mannerisms and cadence of how they talk. That's how I began working in middle school to get out of the complete autism trap, but be warned it took me like 8 years to totally get over it. Also don't get caught autistically staring at women if you are watching/listening to their conversations to "study", obviously that would be embarrassing. Eventually you'll get the hang of it anon, women don't mind if you talk about retarded minor issues in your life, it's just how you present it. You'll also eventually learn not to 100% talk about yourself. Ask the girl stuff about her, her day, her life, etc. You don't want to want to just always harp on about yourself. The thing is about overcoming your own autism is that it takes an autistic special focus to think about and put effort towards defeating, you are not gonna be able to half ass it like a casual skill or something

Trust me though it's totally worth it. Once you get good social skills they are totally worth the effort to have obtained. It lets you be in charge of the conversation and gives you the peace of mind to read people more effectively and judge whether they are worth being around or not, which is an especially big deal with women because a lot aren't worth spending time around barring just getting some social practice with.

I don't mind it, but I feel I'd be rather insincere in my intentions trying to find women there, I'd just be predatory basically, and people could probably gauge my insincerity.

Isn't it like proper hiking etiquette to say hello to everyone you meet on the trail so you're more likely to remember them if the go missing or something so you can tell a ranger "oh yeah, I saw her at like 3ish after lunch before I got to the river" and they can use that information for a search party?

One time I was hiking off of the blue ridge trail near Asheville. I was coming over a peak and a giant husky startled me. A girl was behind the dog and I stopped and said hey your dog scared the shit out of me what kind is it. This bitch was wearing a cloth satchel belt like batmans utility belt and pulled a fucking crystal ball out it and started rubbing it. It freaked me the fuck out and I left mid sentence. Pretty sure she was a wicken trying to put a spell on me. I read an article a week earlier how the sacred wicken tree in Asheville was cut down and they put curses on people for cutting it down. I used to talk to everyone but now I only talk to people occasionally. Ashville has some weird people.

>>2855761
>Isn't it like proper hiking etiquette to say hello to everyone you meet on the trail
yes but the reason is it's inherited from a time where it was the norm to greet everyone, because people were more spread on the countryside and would move very little, thus greeting everyone passing by because they more or less knew everyone around them, this stopped with what we call the rural exodus

>>2855780
It stopped because we are in a low trust society.

>>2855804
We're in a low trust society due to a noticeable lack of White People.

>>2855804
it changed because instead of meeting a dozen people you know on your way to work you meet hundreds of people you don't know so it simply get weird greeting everyone

I just nod, smile and say Hi if they look relaxed. Many of them are in full don't-rape-me mode here in the UK despite the fact that they are only meters way from the nearest road so I tend to err on the side of leaving them alone. I bet most women don't even carry a knife in places where they are isolated, and even more are under the impression that their dog would actually do something if they were being held down.

For me it's always a process when i meet a woman I like to actually clue her in to the world she actually lives in, and how she should stay safe in it. They have every reason to be cautious because most of them are foolish.

Just say hi and move on. Some women are happy to chat, but you can tell by their body language who wants to talk and who wants to be left alone.
I once ran into a girl walking her dog in the woods. She seemed a little confused, so I tried to calm her down. Her dog ran after me because she had taken it off its leash and he wanted to play. I jokingly asked, "What are you two doing here?" She said she was lost and picking mushrooms.

I offered to walk her out of the forest so that she could be home by dark. I should mention that it's impossible to get lost here. There's a village every 5 km, and almost every trail is well marked. We talked about our lives. She told me that she didn't really have anyone to confide in. My autism still didn't understand.

We agreed to walk the dog together and went out a few times before she invited me over for tea and marble cake. Her mom was thrilled with me, she said her daughter spoke highly of me. I slept there that night, and guess what? We've been together for 5 years and are now planning to have a baby.

You sir are a God amongst Anonymous men, though I reckon you are used to such a role given your frequent visits to the local bathhouse. Legend, never die, ever, champion, I love you, but not in a bathhouse kind of way, sorry.

Has anyone approached women while hiking?

Usually I spot them from a distance and do everything in my power to avoid them.

the ct was pretty nice i thought, when you do the other long distance trails make sure you go sobo for all of them and you'll probably find more like minded individuals. Basically always go the opposite way people suggest or at some retarded time im doing the at sobo this year after having done the cdt sobo. Most people go the normal way because they think it means they will meet more people when the opposite is actually the case, everyone you meet going the normal way is always fake and gay or at best they are retarded go sobo and you will meet far less dipshits and anyone you do meet will be cool or will leave you alone or whatever the fuck

>sobo
fml, I love the north, it'd be a nicer ending to end up north, but you may be right in terms of meeting better people.
>ct was pretty nice
The problem is the state has been corrupted by corporations, so most the resupplies end up funding the resorts, are overpriced, or the people themselves are just way too yuppie.
The trail was also dog shit in some places, which I'm not one to complain about, but they have all these signs about land preservation and then the trail does this looney tunes 10 mile detour through piles of bullshit, it just didn't make any sense from a design perspective.
There were some cool folks, don't get me wrong, but I have a feeling I'll enjoy the PCT more.

was hiking up a mountain trail in the morning, qt in shorts and a tank top was coming down. Had a short convo, but was winded and fellow autist so nothing past "have a good day". that was the most recent i can remember.

didn't happen at all in previous years, just don't look too much like a sperg or threat. i do solo hike most often, so really i try to engage most everyone on the trail.

Why would you avert your eyes? I hike with my girlfriend and we both stare. They wear those shorts because they want you to stare.

Just do that “white people hiking” thing where you smile and whisper hi. That’s what I do to anybody I see on the trail kek. Now if you want to approach a girl specifically on a trail in a flirtatious way, just don’t. I’m not even a feminist or anything, but there’s a 70% chance that shit would scare them if they’re alone in the middle of nowhere. Most people don’t wanna talk when they’re out in nature. That’s why they’re out there to begin with. Just a simple hi will do.

Running directly at them with a stern, cold expression.
