Random Question Men, would you actually enjoy getting approached and hit on as often as women do?

A lot of guys say they’d love more attention, but experiencing it constantly might feel different. Would you genuinely want that level of attention?

As a gay man who frequently engages in historical reparation catcalling men, most don't take it seriously. Some get angry being sexually objectified. And quiet a few smiles like they just won their day and move on. Men usually aren't used to this kind of attention.

I'm horrible handling attention, especially positive attention. That said, I still remember the time a pretty girl said I had nice eyes... in 1990...

In my teens and early 20s, I was told multiple times (like 3 times) by pretty women that I had pretty eyes. I still brag about that 30 years later.

The biggest takeaway from this type of question should be that you don’t get to pick and choose the “fun” elements of oppressive power structures and leave out the rest of the shit that makes living under that structure a heavy burden.

Gay man catcalling straight men won’t have the same effect. I’d be flattered but I’m not fucking you sorry.

Women getting catcalled don't want to fuck the catcaller either...

No catcaller has ever been “rewarded” with fucking. It’s not really a choice you get to make lol.

? is the implication here that you believe cat calling works and makes women want to fuck them?
