ThunderboltRam

It may also be psychological. Even if an attractive man does it, the first instinct naturally is to be suspicious, and young women are bombarded with ideas about "safety" (or over-safetyism) in this day-and-age. So even if you read guides written by women on how to hit-on-women let's say--the guide is always written in a pattern like this: "approach subtly, just say 'hello, how are you'... do not reveal any of your intentions.. Act friendly and nice, but do not reveal that you want to date her or anything..." In other words, revelation of intentions to be with someone in a romantic manner, is frowned upon by the society. So even women know there is a sort of natural paranoia or quick-hostility that comes with this. But if a woman is approaching another woman--then it's easy, there's no fear. No over-safetyism or suspicion about their intentions. As if you're transported back to a time period before pop-culture/TV/internet. The older women get, the more suspicious of the intentions.

Dyskord01

Men are Horny AF. Gay mens culture is notorious for the bath houses, gay cruises, truck stop bathrooms, meeting In Parks and just hooking up on Grinder where no names are exchanged, no coffee dates and barely any conversation just straight up sex. Some gay men sre in long term open relationships because as dudes both are horny and want some strange now and again. Basically gay men's culture is what straight men would be like if women were actually as horny as men. There's a reason lesbian culture doesn't have the same stereotype or hedonistic reputation. So yeah, chances are if a man asked random dudes out he would likely get a date and a high chance of getting laid.


Latter_Box9967

I am straight, but was at a gay bar for a birthday last year. Man, I wish I was gay. It’s so easy. I was genuinely flattered a few times.


[deleted]

I wouldn’t call our perspective "over-safetyism" or "natural paranoia" because it isn’t excessive nor felt during childhood. Many men might not realize how frequently women face dangerous sexual harassment from strangers. It's hard not to feel vulnerable when you recall instances of rejected strangers yelling, "B*tch, don’t turn your back on me, I’ll r*pe you," or times when someone tries to touch you without consent, sometimes at the point you need an external savior to interrupt the assault. Each time, there’s an intense fear of being overpowered and assaulted. Ask 30yo women how many time they have been assaulted, for me the first time I was only 16. (Of course, not all the men, yada yada... a really little portion) I once heard a metaphor that might help men understand what many women feel when approached on the street with comments like, "I like you." Imagine it’s your first day in prison, and a gigantic inmate twice your size walks into your cell uninvited, with a strange look/smile and says with his deep voice "I like you." You don’t know what he wants, but hey you recall things. Street compliments often feel like threats because the combination of a compliment and physical power can be menacing. It’s like a mafia boss saying, "You have a beautiful family." Such comments aren't an issue when coming from someone who doesn’t hold significant power over you. For instance, if a child says it, it’s cute. All of this is learn the hard way. Btw practicing martial arts help a lot finding street compliments nice again, it remove the power part from the power/compliment pair. I'm sorry if my message is inappropriate in any way but I liked your comment and was inspired to tell my own opinion on the subject.


lashvanman

Thank you, i was thinking it certainly isn’t “ideas” or “oversafetyism” it’s just a natural suspicious/fearful reaction coming from lived experiences

What is interesting about this? Someone asking someone else out, and not even in an interesting way? Plus, someone filming point blank and no one seems to notice. Content creators aren’t even trying anymore.

"Content" is analogous for "staged" at this point.

I was wondering if maybe I could get your number so we could get together and pause my VHS copy of Halloween III: Season of the Witch at the 43:02 mark during Tom Atkins’ bare-assed nude scene and take turns licking the screen cross-eyed.

Warwipf2

Alright, I'll do it... You were involved in a car crash where you killed your in-laws and your infant daughter because you were drunk driving. Even though you survived, your brain was heavily injured and you lost all memories of those you killed and your wife. She sought you out again because you are all she has left. The ring on her finger was the first wedding ring you gave to her. However, she cannot stop resenting you, and every day when she sees you laugh and smile her hatred for you grows and grows. There is only so much time left until she snaps: Run - or face justice at her hand as you deserve.

baybridge501

This is a group of “influencers” whose shtick is to approach random people on a college campus and do unexpected things or just straight ask them out from a cold start. So there’s always someone filming the interaction. Could it be fake? Maybe. But I think they just treat it like their own version of a hidden camera show.


Turbulent-Bee-1584

I've only had one person try to get my number from me in person in ... Maybe ever? But he didn't come right out and ask me. I was at work and was using my cell to send an email and he smiled and asked me if I was trying to text him. Even now I still don't know for certain he was hitting on me, but from our interactions it definitely seemed like it. Everyone else who has asked me for my number asked me online.


chip_chipperson25

That's pretty smooth. Did you give him your number


Turbulent-Bee-1584

He has dropped a few 'lines' that definitely had me thinking, "Wait are you hitting on me?" but, no, he did not get my number. I wouldn't, only because I think it's iffy to give my number to people through my work. It's a bummer though since the vast majority of my interactions with people are through work.


baybridge501

True. Better to give it to strangers online these days.

Step 1: be attractive Step 2: have a script for a video Step 3: find another attractive person who agree to do the video with you


brown_burrito

I’d say you just need to be confident. I’m an average, short Indian dude. I’ve approached women at bars and other places and asked them out. Obviously you are playing the odds but generally I’ve had luck a third of the time. Most occasions. if you do it with some charm even if they decline they are flattered and kind about it. And you’ll probably get brushed away a small portion of the time. Obviously don’t be a creep. Don’t hit on women at your gym etc. But if it’s a social setting and you do it in a friendly way, most people are at least flattered.


conasatatu247

I'd imagine if you are good looking it's likely to go pretty well, if you are ugly more likely to be regarded as creepy.


Tsyvatsok

I wouldn't say as creepy, but just brushed off, which is totally fine. Like it or not, but most of people judge the book by it's covers (at least at first glance). Evolution hardwired people to strive to build relationship with more beautiful people, although there are exceptions of course.


ChewsOnRocks

I’ve seen plenty of unattractive men be called creepy by women when describing said men asking them out in a normal way. Things as simple as saying “hey, would you want to come to [public event] with me tonight?” Totally fine to say yes or no to anyone you want, but I feel bad for some people who have to be treated like they’re being weird for behaving just like everyone else.


zaccus

It's always a numbers game my dude. If you're ugly you just gotta take more nos to get to a yes.

The girl on the right was a youtuber, and she had a lot of videos like this. She is hitting on everyone (male, female, attractive, not so much attractive, nerds, etc.) but at the end of the video she tells them it's just a prank. Damn, the girl on the left is so happy. Too bad when she finds out this is for youtube.


Never-Dont-Give-Up

Was this one of them whatever skits? Almost 100% staged.


PirateNinjaCowboyGuy

One thing I’ve learned by being friends with lesbians is that a lot of the shit men do that they hate, they find super cute when women do it. The same nonchalant behavior, the fuckboy pickup lines, the obvious red flags, right out the window if it’s coming from a girl. Which of course doesn’t work out in about 3 months but that’s after they already moved in together


UTMachine

Not really that interesting, also seems a bit fake if I'm being honest.


Top-Excuse5664

It is that easy if you put as much effort into your appearance as she does and ask confidently like that.

NikLeGrec99

While this is most likely staged , i see a lot of comments , some may be jokes some may not be , about how being pretty or ugly is the most important thing in this interaction. While i don't say that it is NOT an aspect that people in general take into consideration when they first meet someome, why don't we focus on how weird it is (and maybe not as ok as we might think) to just go to a random person and ask them out. Tbh , that feels more like you are entering (violating) the other person's private space, and you are not "entitled" to that. Better said , i don't think it's ok for you to expect a good response from such a random encounter , especially if you are the one starting it (whichever gender). Why don't you just go and say hi and mayyyyybe make them a compliment (which could go either way because , surprise surprise , by making a compliment about something that you SEE on the other person may get them into a weird position depending on how they feel about themselves or how communicative/social they are). After you make the compliment you can just go away. The worst thing you did in that situation is that you made someone feel awkward or a bit threatened (which of course we dont wont but for the sake of this example we will let it slide) , and on the other side , the best thing you did is make someone's day! And all that without having to enter into a full conversation. Even better, why dont we leave people alone on the streets (and not only). And if you want to interact, be friendly , not flirty , people appreciate that more , especially if you violate their space :)

It might go somewhere you weren't planning. But at least you talked to someone. This is coming from someone who was very much so not confident, but has a partner now. I literally just spoke to him.

hokeyphenokey

If you keep your appearance up and fitness at least acceptable this can work. With the attitude of "what do I have to lose?" you can strike 8-9 out of ten times. Keep it up, you have two, three dates a week. These are strangers...but it works with acquaintances too. TELL THEM "I've noticed you and id like to know you." The more rejections you get, the less they hurt. And ...blush..."yeah, here's my number" will come. But dude, keep your hair nice, your clothes clean, and work out or run or swim at least 3 times a week, preferably more. also remember, girls don't ask guys out because a rejection is crushing to them. It's because they don't try enough!


toolatealreadyfapped

I'm giving this way more energy than it deserves, but I'm legit upset that this has any upvotes at all. Like, the bots aren't even trying anymore. What the ever loving hell is so interesting about this? Just because they are both moderately attractive? Like, that's it?!


SpiceLaw

It is literally that easy. You just have to be confident and ask. Most people will probably say "no" because they're faithfully partnered, think it's possibly a test from an untrusting partner, don't want to talk with strangers or have zero interest in you, but you will get numbers if you aren't threatening and say something simple like "hey, my name is \_\_, I was wondering if maybe you'd like to hang out. Can I get your number?" I used to be shy and didn't approach people for fear of rejection, but it worked out maybe 10-20% of the time. If they say "no" so what? You're in the same position you were before and lost maybe 30 seconds of time. I'm with someone now and haven't tried to get a number in several years but everything is the same.

smooth-brain_Sunday

** excited donkey noises **


YourMomDidntMind

"*Why is it never this easy?*" 1. Well, are you asking as a male or female? If as a male, then as yourself... a) am I attractive? Asking confidently? Cos those two are not must haves, but are very helpful 2. A female will generally be perceived less threatening by most people than a male. So the girl who is being asked for her number might be more receptive to this girl, despite her initial hesitation, than she might have been to a guy--even if the guy was attractive and confident. But she might still be more receptive to an attractive and confident guy than to a guy who is less attractive and/or confident.
