Stop that, stop that! Go on, clear off! Go on, go away! And you, clear off! Bloody weather.

I don’t know what AMRAAMs are but I’ll bet it’s for nerds like you!

Huzzah! Thanks man!

I did some digging and according to this. 77% of women 18 - 30 want to be approached more. I don’t know about pick up artists. But I wonder if a respectful way of approaching women could in fact be taught.

Why?

Perhaps you’re right. Maybe we are dissecting a casual social affair a little too much. But then again I do wonder, what do you make of the 45% statistic?

Imagine, if you will. A man so desperate for human companionship he is willing to avoid any and all women he comes across. So determined to not come across as a creep or weirdo. Little did he know he just came across the Friendlight Zone.

I don’t want to toot my own horn. But this would be a perfect Twilight Zone episode 😂

She was the roommate of someone in my friend group, and I was told in no uncertain terms by our mutual friends that if I screwed it up or hurt her they would hurt me.

Kind of like the dad with the shotgun trope ;)

Anyway thanks for the contribution. It’s interesting. I’m starting to question whether this “norm” of approaching women out of the blue was ever “in of date” in the first place.

I asked my gf in person as well because i just think its just important to be genuine and personal about it.

When you say you asked your gf in person. What exactly do you mean by this?

Well what I make of that is, that it’s (perhaps) an out of date social norm ;)

I think both the “would you rather run into a man or a bear in the woods?” question for women and the “would you rather be emotionally vulnerable with a woman or a tree?” question for men scream loud and clear why there isn’t much meeting in the middle on this issue.

I totally forgot about that one. And you’re totally right! Seriously everything you’ve said here is an interesting take on the matter.

However, the attitude of that you’re not responsible for explaining leads to nobody explaining except… right-wing asshats who are pushing division and hate.

Would you say that perhaps an emphasis on social education (like in middle school or something) would be good first step to this? And not just to talk about what you shouldn’t do but also when you in fact CAN try and make a move.

So with the exception of attractive people, you would say it’s an out of date norm?

As a suggestion/feedback. Could you please make it so you can block certain subreddits from appearing in your feed? I know you can subscribe but I am actually fine with most subreddits apart from a select view.

Maybe like a one million dollar fine? That’s a lot of money, you know.

I guess this dog got its treat.

Simpso… erm I mean Futurama did it!

I’ve heard worse excuses for a civil war…

I don’t even think Hillary will be with you there, bud.
