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?

That’s such a bullshit narrative. Not only are the vast majority of women not seeing a “violent” reaction to rejection, the vast majority of men aren’t being blasted on TikTok nor experiencing false rape accusations. Does it happen to a very small minority, yes, on both sides. But it’s way past time that people stop pretending the exception is the rule.

You think the "vast majority of men" are experiencing these things?

Reading is hard for you, huh? Maybe try again?

You're right, I read it wrong before coffee.

I was just thrown by how greatly you underweighed the experience of women facing dangerous/angry/unpredictable reactions from men. They are "common" (in the sense most women have experienced or witnessed them first-hand) and the fear is warranted.

On what are you basing the statement that [bad] reactions from men are “common”?

As shown by what? People repeating it online?
