it’s genuinely a turn on to have a guy be the one to approach me because it shows a level of confidence that is super attractive and I feel like a ton of guys have shared their discomfort in approaching women so I feel like it’s becoming less common. And many guys can have the approach that makes them seem like a hoe so the few that get it right are top tier
saying i have a bf even tho i don’t feels safer tbh. ofc there will still be guys that press on like “you can’t have friends?” etc. but i once told a man i wasn’t interested and he continued to stand 10 feet away from me menacing and bark and call at me until the train arrived. and this is one of MANY experiences by the way. a lot of women lie and say they have bfs because men might take it less personally and might get less angry with you
