Whenever I see things like this I think the man making the comment really has no idea how much unwanted attention young, single women get from random men. Especially if you're pretty and nice, men just take that as an invitation. For every genuinely polite person trying to be charming you have dozens of creeps just being weird.

I feel like a lot of the online discourse, and a few isolated in-person interactions, wants to frame this sort of stuff as evidenciary of how miserable and oppressive it is to be men in the modern world.

I don't believe it; frankly, I think it's a ploy to instill division by exploiting young men's lack of emotional intelligence (not necessarily their fault) but even if it were true, I don't buy the response being that society has it out to get men and we need to accommodate people who refuse to learn how deal with their own emotions.

The only friends requests I get on Facebook is rando gay men that want to bang so yes, it is because they assume you are a rando that wants to bang.

Doesn't matter what they think of you personally.

You're just one request between the hundreds that are trying to hit on them.

Yes, oop, they think you’re hitting on them. I can’t blame them.
