It's so, so simple. Ask someone if they want to go for a drink or a coffee or something, make it clear you would like it to be a date, and if they say no be okay with it and leave them alone. Being turned down is awkward and it sucks, but, y'know, tough. That's the gamble.

If your 'flirting' is that upsetting to people, then you're doing it wrong.

I like how one acts like there's no hope and the other tries to take a page out of the "nice guy" book to appear innocent and naive without thinking about their own question for, like, one damn second...

Kinda dishonest to suggest it's THAT easy... Respecting a person is easy, but "no means no" is not even CLOSE to true. Persistence is often *required* & finding a balance between enthusiasm & respecting genuine rejection isn't *simple* Empathy needs to go both ways on this shit.

And I arrived at MY position because I *do* take no to mean no. It has done me no favours. I've been told off & even shamed for it, as if I'm dumb or blind. Lectures about "reading social cues" are common. This is all ok, but bsing dudes about how easy it all is ain't.

That's actually great, if people like them stopped flirting they wouldn't reproduce and pass their bad takes to the next generation so just let them be

Why is is that all the crying about "We can't talk to women anymore!" is usually from the people whom women never wanted to talk to in the first place?

Mark Kern is easily one of the worst people on social media. He regularly bashes his own base who give him money for his projects if they don't think exactly like he does, he's said some borderline racist, rapey, cringey takes on multiple occasions
