Two Australian women have shared what they really think about American men following a recent trip the US.
In a now-viral TikTok, Brisbane, Australia woman Maria and her friend explained they were in the country for Burning Man, a hugely popular festival in Nevada. But it was some of their male encounters that left a lasting impression, and not in a good way.
“The confidence in men that approach you in the street that are trying to pick you up is out of this world,” Maria begins, with her friend, who is also in the clip, describing it as “ballsy”.
“Like, at home no one will ever approach me walking through the street,” Maria continued, before turning to her friend saying, “I think it has happened to you like, once.”
“We have been here walking in the street for one day and the amount of men that just come up to you and say, ‘Hey what’s your number?’ They’re really persistent.”
Maria’s friend recalled how she was on the phone and a man interrupted to try to talk to her.
“I was FaceTiming my son almost in tears and this guy is like, ‘Where are you from, can I get your number?’” Maria added.
She said they were riding their bikes through the streets of San Francisco when a man in a truck allegedly followed them six blocks trying to get their number.
“It’s actually so creepy,” Maria’s friend said.
