YES. These "why won't women have sex with me" posts are often really baffling, especially because so many of them ask some variant of "am I ugly?". Generally my hypothetical (because I'm not looking) answer would be "you look fine, but you're acting like a douche and this makes you unattractive."

Do these men not…

Those kinds of 'Nice Guys' are dbags. What also gets me, is that if girls have unrequited love, they are ridiculed. Example - "He's just not that into you." Guess what? SHE'S JUST NOT THAT INTO YOU. Move on and find someone who is actually attracted and interested in you.

Yes, I'm sure we've all pined for someone but at some point you stop wasting time and hit on someone else.

I'd like you a lot better if you just gave me the $5k.

Nothing makes me want to friendzone a guy more than a guy complaining about being friendzoned. Also, it's too bad a fedora isn't included in that list of things to buy

This is why I don't charge anything for people to look at my fake dating profiles.

I assume the consent part would be similar to the consent given in BDSM porn videos: the women just smiles at the end and says she liked it. Those segments always reak to me of Stockholm Syndrome but those in the business vow to its authenticity.

If they say yes or not, bodily harm cannot be consented to in Canada. It's still assault, according to the Supreme Court of Canada, eh.

Slightly related....I subscribe the UC Santa Barbara public alert system (yeah, that's a real thing even though it sounds fake.) They usually send out alerts about robbery suspects or emergencies, but yesterday I got a long, policy-driven email about attaining consent. Oy vey.

Well I can tell you that if you turned around also, he equated that with you being interested in him. Men are really really dumb.

I misread the title as why it may not pay to steal someone else's panther, which I felt was fairly self-explanatory.

Shut up. Isaac is clearly the sexiest, which still confuses me greatly.

I tried this with a clueless cousin.

They need to imagine a gay man that is likely stronger than them. That is what worries me about street harrasers. We all have experienced at least one street harraser that starts turning scary, even if the harraser is my height and I am a strong woman (I do weightlifting) many guys are stronger than me.

I tell them to put themselves in our place and imagian that the man harassing you is gay. That seems to be closer to the truth. Since their not interested in gay men they get the unwantedness of the comments. they can't imagine what it's like to be a woman so that doesn't work. And if a woman did it to them they…

my best friend, the looker, and I were walking past a line getting on a Philadelphia bus and there was a guy. He swung in right behind my friend, who was talking to someone else. She looked back, told him to beat it, and went back to talking to our other friend. She didn't see what I did: he inched closer, muttering…

My wife and I are in our 50s now and she's begun telling me stories of co-workers making passes at her, being harassed while in college (being a blonde woman in an engineering school is apparently like dropping into Lord of the Flies) and all kinds of stories of catcalls, cars honking at her and the like, including…

Somehow I'm guessing this won't help matters any.

Ugh the turnaround stare. It's worse then even the open comments because I feel like a weird for calling them out. Other people hear that shit but no one sees the stares or if they do it's always dismissed for not being a big deal or being a normal part of healthy adult life. Fuck that noise. I don't want to be judged…

Yes! One instance that has always stuck with me was when I was on the train in Manhattan. I had my headphones on but my phone had died so no music, and this guy got on after me and looked me up and down really exaggeratedly, and then kind of looked at his friend with raised eyebrows and his friend said, "I know you…
