Why?

It's mandatory for all men to register for the selective service system in the US, and women don't have to.

Sometimes things be like that.

Or maybe you should stop, because you're making about as much sense as a potato.

And yet I don't think raping someone is an acceptable response to being rejected and yet its still okay for women to treat all men like they might do it. So why should men not treat all women like they're going to cause problems if they get approached?

There are people in this thread saying even doing it as a bar isn't okay anymore. Name one place where a man would be safe asking without potentially being called a creep even just for a polite inquiry. It sounds like there isn't one anymore.

Not all women would react that way, but it sounds like there are enough women who think that's an acceptable response even in a bar that it's nonlonher longer viable.

I'm 40, and married. This isn't about me.

You still don't get it through, you say talk to them first, but thay limits when you can even start a conversation to very limited locations and certainly doesn't include your suggestions around a park or embankment.

Im not ignoring the problem women have at all, I'm suggesting that if they want men to stop asking, they take the onus upon themselves to initiate.

You're the one blaming men as being rapists here, not me. Maybe go talk to someone, you clearly have issues.

Do you think highschool isn't real?

We aren't talking about 40 year olds dating here grandm.

What the fuck does my energy level have to do with anything.

I've never had to ask a girl out in my life, I've been married to only my second relationship for more than half my life, and both ladies approached me.

If you walk up to random people in a cafe, park, or embankment (really?) and ask for their numbers, you could get a positive response, but it's equally likely that a women (or even a group) will start yelling at you for doing so.

That's what I'm saying about nowhere to ask safely. Some women will be totally fine with being approached, and others will not, but there is ZERO way to indicate to others that information.

We need to bring back the whole gay handkerchief system and adapt it to the whole population, If everyone wore an accessory or object that indicates your willingness(or not) to be approached it would make the whole situation 100% better. Like a stoplight party, but all the time and with slightly less impact on your whole wardrobe.

That makes it worse.
