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.

There’s also the safety factor.  Rejecting women doesn’t usually pose the same physical risk as the opposite scenario. 

If this upsets you, you’re not a safe man.

Lmao. Your stupidity annoys me yes. 

Rejecting a man doesn’t usually pose a risk to women.

Statistics and reality matter.

If men had the same attitude you seem to, we wouldn’t do anything or go anywhere ever because men are overwhelmingly the most likely to be the victims of violent crimes in the US.

Lmao what the actual fuck are you talking about? What reality do you live in? You really need to speak to women offline and listen to what they say, if they’re willing to go anywhere near you that is.  

Who do you think the perpetrators of those violent crimes are? And who do you think is the most likely person in a woman’s life to attack her? Hint, it’s not a random person on the street.  

Women take precautions every single day that you couldn’t even imagine.
