I’ll never forget the time a kind man approached me
“Hi, I’m Robert, I’m 52, I’m single, and I think you’re lovely, would you like to have dinner with me.?”

Me “No thank you”

Robert “Have a good day”

He went off pleasantly. I was 23 at the time. Thank you Robert for approaching a woman politely and accepting rejection gracefully. It’s way better than that stranger that chased me after dark at a park and wouldn’t go away as I ran and guilted me when he realized I was scared of him and pulled out manipulation techniques.
Then there was that one dude that tried to “hire me” as a prostitute when I told him no.

Yes, there are good men, and kind respectful ways they can ask our women that are polite. We don’t get scared of men asking us out because we are biased against men, it’s just that some don’t respect boundaries and are bullies.
Robert and the guy above are proof that men can approach and express interest without being scary, rude, and sexists. It’s not men asking our women that’s the problem, it’s the ones who are a-holes while doing it.
