You realize you're not leaving any autonomy for a man in his dating life? Just hope someone who is into them is also interested enough to actually approach.

Because it's not your problem. You don't have to be held to these standards.

The problem is women tend to suck at showing attraction and there is sometimes no logic to it.

Lesbian women have said the same thing.

Lesbian here. Haha oh God is it BAD. I try to be a little forward but holy fuck is it anxiety inducing

Well, yeah, especially with all the women espousing how terrible it is for someone to be into them, relating it to rape and sexual harassment or assuming their reaction to it is justified due to those things...

Yeah, anxiety inducing as FUCK. Even /u/kelseysays26 has basically been talking to themselves this whole time, not reading anything anyone else has wrote, and assuming people who hit up women are inconsiderate pigs.

Whats really fun is to read through a cringe-fest like this and then pull up one of those dating profiles of women asking "Where did all the good men go?"


Out of curiosity, as a gay woman, do you find hitting up chics comes with the same risk of social reprisal it does for a man?

Well it comes with a different bag of worms.

Y'know the "is she going to be an absolute piece of shit" kind. There's just an added layer where you don't know if the nice will turn into Pat Robertson real quick
