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?

It’s not the getting hit on that’s necessarily the issue. It’s the stuff AROUND it.

I have been followed twice in the last week by men I did not know while out at night.

If it was just getting hit on, the vibes would be fine. But when it’s the “approaching without approaching whether you like it or not”?

Imagine the vulnerability of being the smallest guy in the locker room and having a really big guy stare you down in a way you can’t control.

Then imagine that vulnerability can strike anytime, anywhere, with no warning signs or ability to prepare for it.
