    There needs to be a consensus as to whether women want men to approach them/ask them out or not but there never can be one.https://twitter.com/Yippieskip/status/896078625027403776 …

    Because of the entitlement of the approach, and the threat of violence for refusing.

        Because sometimes some women do want some men to approach them but more often she doesn't want any man to do so or not that man.

        It might be easier if culture would change so it was women who asked men out coz men who are not interested less likely to be upset by it?

        More politeness and good manners on both sides would solve most problems. So you don't need to change anything.

        I can't make that change and I wouldn't advocate trying to. Just imagining what that would look like.

        Isn't the brutal truth that it all depends whether the woman finds any particular man attractive and the time is convenient?

        That would be ideal, yes. There can't be one. These people seem to think men should never approach women & they should know they shouldnt.
