I have not claimed otherwise. I completely agree.

I understand that you don't go to the gym to be ogled. Unfortunately, some men ogle women wherever women are found. That is likely to continue for the foreseeable future. Your attractiveness at the gym may be irrelevant to you, but it is relevant to others.

There are plenty of selfish inconsiderate people who prioritize their own needs over others. That is unfortunate, but that is reality. Men are more aggressive when pursuing sexual access to women than women are when pursuing men. That is a cause of distress to many women.

Some people are selfish and inconsiderate. There are ways that selfishness manifests in men that are different from its manifestations in women.

Men experience sexual access to women as a scarce resource. Their behavior is consistent with the behavior of any population facing a scarcity of any essential resource. I understand that men's aggressive sexual pursuit of women is often distressing to women.

Among members of a population experiencing a scarcity of an essential resource, selfish behavior in pursuit of the scarce resource tends to increase. Individual men who are less selfish will pursue sexual access to women in a more considerate manner. Those who are more selfish will be less considerate. Inconsiderate behavior, because it causes distress, is more noticeable.

Old disgusting men, such as myself, are probably more desperate and therefore more aggressive. As a man married to an older but not disgusting woman, I do not pursue other women for sex. I have not been in the sexual marketplace for many years.

You will be old someday. I hope you don't become disgusting.

I am sorry that you are experiencing the behavior of inconsiderate men to the extent that you are.

It is unlikely that the male population will undergo a collective, radical transformation of their general behavior when pursuing sexual access to women.
