I think you misunderstand me. This isn’t the movies, men should expect to meet eyes with a random woman and it be love at first sight. Going up to a woman and trying to pick her up works so rarely, the vast majority of women would rather meet organically through mutual friends not be picked up off the street 🙄

Because the extinction of the human species would be sad and the other options are worse, right..? You’re not gonna find your wife on hinge/tinder, dating co-workers is inherently messy, trying to date friends has like a 2/3 chance of her feeling betrayed and sabotaging the friendship bc a lot of women have this odd brain glitch where they see attraction and friendship as mutually exclusive. So what’s left?

That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. The vast majority of women want to marry their best friend, we just don’t like when men ONLY become friends with us bc they are attracted to us. And honestly I don’t really care if the human species goes extinct, the environment and animal kingdom would be better off without our harm

I’ve never once seen a man do that and if you think he did, you’re probably being too hard on yourself; you’d have to have an incredibly acidic personality if your appearance was literally the only thing he liked (not that that’s impossible, but it’s def not common). And if you’re pro extinction that sorta justifies/explains your position independently of there actually being anything wrong with meeting strangers, practicality wise lol

Just bc you haven’t seen it doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen often lmao

And just because you have “seen” it often doesnt mean it’s actually what happened. I HAVE seen plenty of women *decide* that’s what happened, but never really based on anything convincing. They’ll try to read these guys’ minds and get it wildly wrong because guys generally don’t think like that. Guys dont see being a woman’s friend as a step closer to nailing her. If a guy befriends a hottie; then either the friendship is genuine and his attraction was never a secret, OR he fucked up very badly

Plenty on men talk about how they only became friends with a woman bc they had a crush and wanted a chance. You can deny this all you want but dudes literally talk about it shamelessly on the internet all the time😭

I wasn’t answering the post’s question. I was responding to YOUR question which began with “why do men want…” . Did you really expect a woman to answer that? A big fan of this whole wildly incorrect mind reading thing then I see, lol.

But instead of explaining your perspective on why you want to approach women you generalized and spoke on behalf of all men.

I did explain my perspective. Read my 1st comment🤦🏻‍♂️ And though what I said was NOT phrased as universal, it probably is or at least pretty close. So your assumption I’m wrong isnt really a gotcha bc i still have no reason to doubt. I know you ASSUME youve seen men admit to faking friendships just to sleep with someone, but Ive never seen any such specifc confession (unless you’ve done some editorializing) and that would be an insanely counterproductive strategy so it would surprise me

It should have ended there instead you went on about how men in general act

Then why didn’t it? YOU’re the one who said my answer (to your question) was wrong lol. You’re allowed to be unsatisfied with my answer but then you can’t whine that I defended it lol. Thats silly

Bro first of all I called your opinion stupid not wrong, and second your only defense is making generalizations about all men..💀💀 I said men literally post on the internet about befriending women for the sole purpose of asking her out one day and you ignored that shit. Why would I engage in an unproductive discussion?

Anonymous #2 14w

Why on earth would you draw that distinction? A reason based on correct info isn’t stupid. And even if the answer IS stupid-yet-correct, then arguing with it is the definition of an unproductive discussion. So idk why, you tell me? And I didn’t ignore it (ffs READ), I said im skeptical that you’ve read any such thing, partly bc you may have been editorializing or assuming you’ve read something you haven’t. Which is starting to look more and more likely actually

How am I supposed to have a good faith discussion with you when you don’t trust my anecdotal evidence but want me to trust yours??
