men who act like they can never approach women again without being afraid of getting accused really are telling on themselves. is it scary to put yourself out there? ofc! but if you treat the woman you’re approaching like a person and are respectful, there’s really nothing to worry about
Eh I don’t blame guys. Many false accusations go around. But I certainly wish it wasn’t the case. I’ve never been hit on at a bar by a cute gentleman. I’ve only ever had two men do it and you could tell their pure desperation instead of cute interactions and flirting. We’ll find our gentleman one day… right?
Yes women can be terrible people and they will weaponize anything against men because they hate men. Literally scroll through confessions every week and you’ll see the regular “ I hate men” posts. According to them misandry doesn’t exist but misogyny is very real. Your comment will keep getting downvoted because they want to control the narrative. The issue of women never getting approached will become more prevalent and mail order brides will be the future.
It is arbitrary, but to me it’s anything that is obviously unwanted/disrespects usual social boundaries but hasn’t crossed the threshold into harassment. Cold approach? Fine! Cold approaching someone clearly involved in a group of people and deep in conversation with them by trying to interrupt that conversation and demand attention? Creepy. Using your body to corner them into the convo? Creepy. Starting with a weird explicit statement? Creepy, but not quite harassment
It’s vague because it’s subjective, we’ve already established that. If you’re here to argue for the sake of arguing we can do that but don’t act like you’re genuinely having a good faith conversation by demanding an objective fact out of an opinion. It’s situational. there’s no one solid definition that will encompass every creepy situation. Just generally, anything that crosses a social line without crossing a legal one is creepy
yeah it’s subjective in that what’s ‘normal’ behavior changes from place to place, but basic decency and respect doesn’t. cat calling someone is never okay regardless of where you are. interrupting someone who’s in a convo/busy with something to flirt with them also isn’t okay. ig a better way to put it would be to just treat people with respect but im ngl i thought that was already assumed lol
not really. im saying its normal to scream and yell when you’re excited during a concert and that’s ‘normal’, but just bc that’s socially acceptable there doesn’t mean it’s universally okay. treating people with respect (for the millionth time - not interrupting, not taking no for an answer, etc) is never okay. as long as men don’t behave like that they’re fine
If you can't read the room and persist in an uncomfortable behavior while the surrounding people are clearly made uncomfortable by it then you will be labeled a weirdo. That applies to all social interaction, not just approaching women 🤷♀️ Sorry no one can explain to you how you can read the room exactly to a science each time over a yikyak comment. It's a life skill.
I am AuDHD. So is my fiancé. Also, you have to take responsibility for your disabilities. If you can’t understand social cues, YOU have to come up with a plan to insure you’re not harming others because of that. Like avoiding sexual comments or explicitly requesting consent. Your gotcha won’t work here fam
Not that I tally my friends of minority or other statuses, but 3 foreign who live abroad and always have, 4 immigrants, and countless who are from different cultures than me. and before you go there, I’m a supporter of moral relativity, but I know people from places where smacking a [strangers] woman’s ass to flirt is appropriate. Doesn’t make it ok here
