It does not happen often. It has happened once. A cis man pretended to be a trans woman in order to access women's shelters in Canada. He then went on to actually assault the women there. And the shelters banded together, and issued a statement saying something like, "The trans women we serve are amongst the most at…

"or the related but only slightly less odious assertion that men will pretend to be trans women just to get into women's restrooms."

Really. You have sex with every woman who ever speaks to you. Really.

Exactly, YOU are interested in THEM. You're the one seeking them out and making an appeal for their attention. The time of a job seeker is always less valuable than the time of an employer. The time of someone applying for a loan is always less valuable than the time of the bank. You don't have to LIKE this but you…

If you give a fake number, it's because you never want to see him again. Also, no, I am not interested in finding out if he's going to violently explode after he has repeatedly not taken "no" as an answer or even bothered to read any of my body language saying I want him to stop harassing me. If it's a fake number,…

Completely wrong. You are not equals in this equation, you are approaching her to get something. You're essentially applying for a job (the job being "put your penis in her") and she is considering your application. Just like with any job interview, the interviewer's time is considerably more valuable than the…

Because sometimes trying to walk away doesn't work.

I know, right? He's a walking, talking masterclass in Failure to Take the Hint.

Its not my job to teach some random guy how to improve his game. Unless I'm actually teaching a class on the subject, in which case these assholes would be paying me and I would get to be brutally honest. Otherwise? Go see a counselor or ask friends in successful relationships as to how to step up your game. I'm at…

When you decide to approach someone you don't know, they don't owe you anything, including a self-improvement course.

If a girl wants to provide "feedback" to a guy who is unsuccessfully hitting on her, more power to her? However, she owes him nothing, and honestly if I were to do that I'd be afraid I'd be emasculating him, possibly causing him to become more aggressive.

Which feelings? You hurt my video games feelings? You hurt my childhood? You don't comfort me like my mother did feelings? You don't like the overpowering smell of French fries that wafts from my mattress so I'm thinking you are stuck-up feelings? Please be specific/.

Because there is a zero percent chance that delivering a detailed critique to a stranger will result in him saying "gee thanks, ma'am!" and walking away. Actual human reactions will be somewhere between "let me keep trying to convince you how your reasons are inadequate and so you will be forced to sex me due to the…

If I didn't ask to be hit on, why the fuck do I care if I'm hurting your feelings?

You seem like the type of guy women need to call security on.

Well obviously, who is the party that's getting hit on? Newsflash, that means their time is more valuable to them AND you.

If you honestly have to ask, you probably won't acknowledge the answer but here it goes.

Because oftentimes dudes have so little respect for women that they won't back off unless they know there is another dude involved.

As a fellow female, I have to say: YES. A MILLION TIMES YES. To all of the above.

Don't buy a girl a drink if you haven't talked to her yet. You see this shit in movies and it works, so maybe if you're George Clooney you can ignore this. But in real life it never works, it comes off as creepy and makes the girl feel uncomfortable. Talk to her first.
