    For what reason would men randomly approach women? Women online have made it clear that doing so results in being made fun of, that women hate the features of testosterone-having men, and they’ve made it clear there is a long list of “icks” that you can’t have.

    The only dating i do is within the circles of friends.

    Currently working on an absolute package, btw. Funny, fun, beautiful, sheeeeeesh.
    The heart flutters at the thought.

      I sense there is a generation shift because literally everyone I see that’s under 25 has airpods in or is looking at their phone while in public. You can’t even interact irl anymore.

        I remember a picture of a train from “the good old days” where everyone was with their face in a newspaper and not interacting with anyone.

        I remember reading about complaints against younger generations spending too much time reading novellas rather than living in the real world and interacting with people (was around the time the industrial printing press was invented).

      What women hate is some stranger approaching them, out of the blue, in the most obvious and clueless way.

      “Hello, female, I see you’re having fun with your friends. You don’t know me, M’Lady, but I wanted to let you know that I think you’re prime mating material, and would like to invite you back to my parent’s basement for Chicken Tendies. We will listen to music you like, until your mating orifice is sufficiently lubricated. Or we can watch Naruto. Rest assured, I am attentive, I watched many videos on foreplay. Shall I summon an Uber?”

          No, they don’t.

          I’m mocking them, in an attempt to shame them into putting themselves out there, and learning from experience like we did back in the day.

            Lol gottem

            Really, they should though, but in a respectful, even if cringe, way.
            But a lot of them have some mental work they need to do first.
