I understand. But the women around you who said that probably don’t complain about men approaching. What I said is that statistically, women who ask where are the real men, are the minority. And you can have an approach to that in voting trends, articles here or social networks comments. Women who support metoo or the “not approach by strangers" are majority. Just think that kids are taught to “not trust extrangers". That remains with us as adults. And I think it is not a bad lesson. To the woman on the street you are an extranger and She might not want risk it. Plus, she might be bussy. And when you are stressed, tired and with many work to do, chances are that even your favorite actor with the most respectfull approach gets you annoyed and that you lass out. Maybe you’ll regret it latter, maybe not . But at the moment you won’t like it.

Think about this, approaching someone who doesn’t want to be approached is a waste of time because that person would reject you no matter what. Same as putting a fake picture or photoshoped picture in a dating profile. You might get one date, but the only difference would be that you would be rejected in person after wasting your time and money. And while you go on a date doomed from the begining, you lose the chance to meet someone who would be interested. The real reason we insist idea that “but maybe once he/she know me he/she would chance his/her mind" is because we fool ourselves. But when a men has decided to date someone he is not attracted to? Never. The same with women. Pitty dates and dates achieved through manipulation most times lead to ghosting, and the ones that not, end in drama or dissapointment anyway. Best expend your time with people who like you back. It would save you a lot of pointless drama 😂
