I think it would be better to give a genuine compliment instead of that’s someone I’d like to know and ask for their number and then you reach out. And then you can tell them to have a good night (preferably regardless of if they reject or not )

This would be more likely to work on me than trying to stand me in a corner and force my phone number. Then, if he seems okay, I’d reach out on a burner number to see how it goes and then my actual number.

I think it’s pretty good advice. It removes a lot of the creepiness, the social pressure, the possibility of retaliation, etc etc. not everyone’s gonna like it, but those that don’t would probably hate being approached to suddenly anyway, so you’re not really losing anything

like 2 said i think a genuine compliment (non sexual) might be better, but this is a way better way to approach someone while giving them the choice to reach out or not. op ur weird for not asking this question in good faith tho

Yes. The part about giving her your number instead of asking for hers is VERY good advice. It removes the stress of being contacted and having to think about your safety.

Look up the study “Weight status at age 18 influences marriage prospects. A population-based study of Swedish men”. Using BMI as a proxy for obesity, researchers made a nice little graph that you can scroll down and look at. Obese men were least likely to be married. 55% of normal weight men were married vs 40% of obese ones. Yeah it’s a factor, but it won’t stop you if you have other positive traits.

Yeah, sad that it’s just another entitled incel who’s been brainwashed into thinking that his lack of basic decency is not what’s repelling women like the plague. They blame height, money, and other shallow stuff no one cares about because they’re too chicken to do actual reflection.

You’re a chicken. You’re too scared to self reflect, and it’s much easier to blame women for not wanting to date the entitled mess that is you. Too scared of empathy. Too scared to be wrong. Too scared of who you are. Don’t be a 🐔. Go to therapy.

Deny it all you want, deep down you can still feel it. Act all surprised and indignant. Tell yourself you’re not really like this. Convince yourself that everyone can’t see right through you if you want, but that won’t change reality. Your behavior is filled with clues, and it is so blatantly obvious to most of us that many don’t even bother talking to you because they think you’re hopeless. Will you prove them wrong, or chicken out again?

Your comments demonstrate a twisted value system. One that prioritizes selfish entitlement over interpersonal safety. You don’t care that women like the idea of not being pressured for their number because you don’t like it when they have the option to choose not to contact you. Because you feel entitled to women.

Yeah man I’m sure people are actually super into my 250+ pound body covered in hair and the only reason I haven’t had my first kiss is because I’m unknowingly a despicable and vile person who feels entitled to sex or something (even though I have cherished friendships with the women in my life and I’m basically asexual)

The reason I’m questioning whether it’s really good advice is not that I don’t care about womens’ comfort, it’s that advice like that hasn’t really been super effective in my *personal experience*

People who think the way you do don’t often listen to anything. Being nice gets you nowhere with those people when they treat your kindness like it’s their birthright. Being agreeable just enables their entitlement. Calling them out isn’t even mean. God knows they need it. Only mean thing I did was call you a chicken. But even that has truth behind it.

regardless of what u look like, the mindset u demonstrated by saying how u wanted to see if women would “pretend” to like this is extremely unattractive. it’s good advice because it makes whoever ur approaching feel more safe and respected by giving them a choice. sometimes the choice is no, which is part of life.

Oh yeah haha, with the demanding a number thing, I’d only do it once. When the first harasser texts me, I save and block his number. Then every other guy who tries it gets the first guy’s number. So he has to experience the harassment he inflicted.

Yeah, that’s true, I should have been more charitable. I initially just commented “Yeah, you’re probably right”, but that immediately spiraled into more despair and distrust, which prompted me to reply with that instead.
