Approaching a girl on the street, when you are standing on the sidewalk or walking in the opposite direction is a tough go. Approaching in a nightclub, bar, party, Starbucks/coffee shop, gym are all good. Women feel "safe" there. If you are going to approach a girl cold on the street your first responsibility as a guy is to show a woman you are A) safe/friendly B) someone worth talking to (ie: funny or engaging). |
I really don't see the difference. I mean, I get how its skeevy to approach someone on the street, but saying its any better if you do it in a coffee shop or a gym? I've seen plenty of women complaining about guys hitting on them in those places too. "I just go to the gym to work out, not get hit on by guys" etc.
The truth is, if a woman doesn't want to be hit on, it is always the wrong place and it is always harassment. If she does want to be hit on, it is never the wrong place and it is never harassment. The problem is that men have no real way of knowing which side of the spectrum the woman falls on. Thats why this is funny to me. If it was a really attractive guy walking up to her on the street and saying hey, and she responded, would that be harassment? What if the same guy came up to her and she ignored him? Is it now harassment? Its kinda arbitrary when you think about it...
And then people complain that chivalry is dead.
PS: I wasn't asking for advice...you seemed to misunderstand me. I was just pointing out that it can be pretty laughable what people get offended at.
