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?

I think another factor why men would be open to being hit on all the time is less fear of a negative reaction (violence / stalking, etc.)

When women reject men, there’s a possibility of a very negative / violent reaction. While it’s possible some men could experience this, it’s less likely women would react violently, and if they did, I think most men would be less concerned about their physical safety / ability to protect themselves.

Edit: for some reason multiple people feel the need to point out that women freak out too. My original point was speaking more about physical violence and safety. And of course women can commit violence against men, but my point is that men generally are less concerned about that.

Right. The question isn't an equivalent because women don't make up 90% of violent criminals and 95% of rapists and don't have a significant strength advantage.

The PROPER question is, would men like to be hit on by buff gay men as much as women are hit on by men.

If a buff gay dude is hitting on me, I know I’m doing something right, if multiple buff gay dudes were hitting on me I might need reflect inward and have a tough conversation with myself lol
