I haven’t seen those articles.

But read again his article. What is calling “approach”? or flirting? Because one approach won’t warrant a restraining order. And sending unwanted dick pics is not flirting. Not even with non-feminist women.

As for the approaching, some women do approach men. We ask out. And then we have different reactions to that “asking out”. Some like it, some say no and some think that you are a slut and decide that asking them out means that they can treat you as meat. So they get angry when you realize your mistake and cut it short or cancel. Such is life.

But the thing about women asking guys out is that there a very real possibility that even if women starting taking initiative more frequently, you still won’t be asked by the ones you like. or at all. Women know this. It happens to us. We don’t like all the guys that approach to us. Sometimes you don’t like any of them, you like other guy who simply doesn’t like you. Again, that is life. And we don’t throw tantrums at this.

Now lets talk about creepy first moves:

> Negging. Negging is something some guys love, they think it is great, that it increases their value. But no, negging is an insult on several levels. So a first approach (or any approach) where you try to negg someone is creepy. And if some pick up artist told you that we like it, he is lying. If he told you that you are not “doing it right” he is underestimating women. Because women know the difference between real compliments and trying to reduce their selfsteem.

> Insulting their friends that you consider the “bat factor” because you think the compete and that would bust their ego. No, it just make you look as an ashole.

> Do, don’t ask. In this category is the groping, the grabbing her hand and putting in your crotch, etc. This is creepland to anyone with 2 neurons.

I could go on, but it all comes down to “learn to respect others, specially if you want a dat with that person”.

And let me say that plenty of men have absolutely no problem with this. so if you don’t want to approach, don’t. Seriously. But we both know that the real aim in this articles is trying to persuade us that we need to put up with all your nonsense and pretend that it is as valid as the guy who is able to identify the obscure reference to a scify book in your t-shirt and compliment that without grabbing you or doing something extrange. Or the one who is able to remember that you love vanilla cookies and bring you some at your birthday. Sorry, no luck. Some guys take the effort to treat you as a person, while other treat you as “game”. And we can tell the difference. If you don’t, that is your problem.
