True. That is because we didn’t complained about flirting either. We complained about specific things like catcalling, being followed (scary), being groped, not taking no for an answer, etc. Those things aren’t “flirting”, but some men are trying to pass it as flirting.

Normal men who are respectful never have problems with flirting because what they enjoy is being liked, so they pay attention to the things that women like. And that is also valid for conservative men and women. They do know the difference between a compliment and cat calling. They do know the difference between courting and harashing. And same with feminist men.

If you want to be liked by someone, you need to pay attention to what that person likes and dislikes. Women do that too. I’ve seen friends buy dresses because they know that the guy they like, likes women that wear dresses of certain stile. Or learn about some music bands to show interest on the things their boyfriends like. And that is how it should be. And should be reciprocal. But if someone doesn’t like you, they just don’t. Is better to just go your own way and look for people who like you. And it is not a videogame, once you have done enough things that they dislike, it is almost impossible to make them change their mind. Which is OK, move on, keep meeting people until you find the right one for you. I think is common sense.
