Yep, that’s cute. A whole lot of assumptions wrapped up in that frustrated little ball there. No, I do not believe anything is a numbers game, because that whittles women, who are people, down to things to be won. I’m actually really disappointed that you see it that way based on the way you pictured that interaction…

Oh, I completely agree. Cat-calling a girl is not hitting on her. It’s never appreciated. And I’d also agree that “hitting on” a girl is never the way to go. My argument is that there is no inappropriate place to go about meeting a person you might be interested in as long as you’re polite, respectful and sensitive to…

Me too. It’s a real shame.

I’ve made this very clear every time I’ve posted, but I’m happy to come out and say it again. If my completely Socially Acceptable behavior creeps you out? That’s your God damned problem. Feel free to say no thank you, feel free to respond in anyway your wish, but your response above is unacceptable and rude. It makes…

Haha, my post was dripping with sarcasm. To your latter point, there is no Bible on the interpretation of body language. If someone is exceedingly shy, that tight lipped smile and a quick hello may have been the best they could get out and shouldn’t necessarily be interpreted as anything in a general sense. Obv…

That’s the beauty of it though, and the danger of making a person’s RESPONSE to a thing the gold standard for whether that thing is appropriate or not. Your job as the guy is to act normal and have a respectful conversation with a woman like you would ANYONE ELSE. If she’s not interested? Say “it was nice meeting you”…

This. Honestly, if I were a moderator on this site? I’d delete all of these garbage posts telling people anything but this. Just because a woman is there for a different reason than meeting a partner doesn’t mean the idea disgusts or scares her. If you’re afraid that an interaction with you is going to cause HER some…

Thank God I bothered to keep going through these comments to get to a few women’s opinions. What these guys don’t get is that you met people all day, every day and you never know when you’ll run into someone that can change your life forever. Drawing arbitrary boundaries around when it’s “ok” to flirt, or socialize or…

Honestly? I didn’t understand what exactly a weak person was until I started to read your posts. Now, I still can’t define it, but I definitely know one when I see one.

Boo hoo his poor wife for likely SO many reasons based on the way he views women.

Wait, it’s almost like you’ve been on a date and/or interacted with another human before! You mean it’s ok to just go out and serendipitously meet people anywhere you’d like as long as it’s done with a moderate amount of respect for the other person as a human being??? Whoa!

That’s a pretty ballsy move to call him dense and continue to post this drivel.

Don’t waste your time on him anymore. I’d bet if he actually has a wife, he apologizes profusely after sex in case she feels violated, never compliments her cause it might her feel objectified and never goes anywhere without her in case he accidentally assaults another woman by breathing the same air.

No, but that’s a straw man argument. Barring the fact that I was genuinely shocked to read that you have a wife (seriously, don’t you think the institution of marriage due to our modern patriarchy puts your poor, victim wife at an inherent disadvantage and cause her an intense amount of discomfort/fear every day?),…

*vomits in mouth*

Only operating in places where girls go specifically to meet people won’t help you with that. If anything, it will only make you more likely to over extend and come off creepy. Body language is something I’d put work into; there’s no part of life that it won’t help a LOT.

No. No, they don’t. And people like you need to stop saying otherwise. You have completely missed my point, and that of the author of this post. Men/women/people don’t have “accessibility” to me “modulated” because those are robot terms. As I demonstrated with my story, my wife was not set to “Accessible” mode when I…

Reading the follow up posts to this actually made me vomit a little bit. It’s garbage like this that keeps liberals out of public office; they just don’t know when to draw the line when it comes to this social justice kick. Society decides, very rightfully, that exploitation of women and sexual abuse are wrong and…

I can totally agree with that, but there are plenty of fantastic relationships that came out of that situation as well. Those rules are made to protect those at a disadvantage, but even then they aren’t absolute social rules so much as corporate ones.

No. No, no, no, no, no, no. NO. Every time we place arbitrary limits on when/where/in what situations it’s okay to be HUMAN, we miss the point of this entire discussion. People/women/men/whatever are never inherently opposed to meeting other people/potential partners.
