Your reading comprehension is very low. You should work on that before arguing with people. When I suggested the handkerchief system, the word gay was indicating a specific system (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Handkerchief_code) that had previously existed that you clearly are not aware of, which is made clear by the fact that I said it should be adapted to the whole population.
Yelling at people in your second language after not understanding the arguments being made is not helpful.
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.
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.
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.
What? who suggested women initiate dating conversations with men they have no interest in?
When I say women should have to approach men, I mean that men should not ask, and women should do the asking if they are interested to avoid any issues with women not wanting to be approached. Why the fuck would it mean anything else?
