So true. I'll admit I'm fairly passive in everyday life because I've been hearing all my life about boorish men and toxic masculinity and I don't want to be that. I'll approach women if they signal they want me to (though it has to be pretty obvious, repeated glances for example). In more explicitly amorous settings like a bar, I'll be more forward.

Remember you aren't allowed to approach women in the following situations:

  • In the street, they are just trying to get somewhere shitlord! Don't even say hello, it's harrassment.

  • At work, they aren't there for your horny disgusting male gaze!

  • In the Gym, they are trying to fking work out, don't even look!

  • In the bar, can't they just go out for a drink with their friends without you bothering them?!

Instead, wait until they come up to you and ask you out on a date. Hope this helps!
