I think it would be better to give a genuine compliment instead of that’s someone I’d like to know and ask for their number and then you reach out. And then you can tell them to have a good night (preferably regardless of if they reject or not )

I think it’s pretty good advice. It removes a lot of the creepiness, the social pressure, the possibility of retaliation, etc etc. not everyone’s gonna like it, but those that don’t would probably hate being approached to suddenly anyway, so you’re not really losing anything

like 2 said i think a genuine compliment (non sexual) might be better, but this is a way better way to approach someone while giving them the choice to reach out or not. op ur weird for not asking this question in good faith tho

This would be more likely to work on me than trying to stand me in a corner and force my phone number. Then, if he seems okay, I’d reach out on a burner number to see how it goes and then my actual number.

Yes. The part about giving her your number instead of asking for hers is VERY good advice. It removes the stress of being contacted and having to think about your safety.

That actually sounds really good. I feel bad making people respond sometimes.

Yeah, sad that it’s just another entitled incel who’s been brainwashed into thinking that his lack of basic decency is not what’s repelling women like the plague. They blame height, money, and other shallow stuff no one cares about because they’re too chicken to do actual reflection.

You’re a chicken. You’re too scared to self reflect, and it’s much easier to blame women for not wanting to date the entitled mess that is you. Too scared of empathy. Too scared to be wrong. Too scared of who you are. Don’t be a 🐔. Go to therapy.

Deny it all you want, deep down you can still feel it. Act all surprised and indignant. Tell yourself you’re not really like this. Convince yourself that everyone can’t see right through you if you want, but that won’t change reality. Your behavior is filled with clues, and it is so blatantly obvious to most of us that many don’t even bother talking to you because they think you’re hopeless. Will you prove them wrong, or chicken out again?

I was initially asking in good faith, actually, but in retrospect beestboy is probably right.

Plus I just can’t imagine it’s very attractive when a guy apologizes repeatedly for the inconvenience of his presence, especially as a first impression lol

Your comments demonstrate a twisted value system. One that prioritizes selfish entitlement over interpersonal safety. You don’t care that women like the idea of not being pressured for their number because you don’t like it when they have the option to choose not to contact you. Because you feel entitled to women.

You’re really making it obvious why you keep getting turned down. No one likes an entitled man who doesn’t self reflect or care about others.

Yeah man I’m sure people are actually super into my 250+ pound body covered in hair and the only reason I haven’t had my first kiss is because I’m unknowingly a despicable and vile person who feels entitled to sex or something (even though I have cherished friendships with the women in my life and I’m basically asexual)

The reason I’m questioning whether it’s really good advice is not that I don’t care about womens’ comfort, it’s that advice like that hasn’t really been super effective in my *personal experience*
