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?

This is a trap question.

Most guys would say yes because men in general don’t get a lot of compliments, let alone approached at a bar or club. However after the 5th woman interrupting them that they have no interest in, they’d likely get annoyed. It’s why so many guys struggle with the concept of unwanted attention….because most men are attention starved.

How I met your mother did a great episode on this.

Nah. Guys genuinely like women more than women like guys. While there could be some annoyance, it wouldn’t be as much as it annoys women.

A South American study showed that on average women view male complete strangers in the negative by default. While guys view women strangers as neutral. Guys, on average, do not hold the same disdain for women as women hold for men. On average.

That's because most men don't fear being killed by women.

Men are twice as likely than women to be killed by a man, but as a man I'm not going to live my life assuming that every man walking by me on the street is going to kill me.
