Go to YouTube, search “men not approaching women” and behold

This is what holds up your whole argument and it's pretty silly, my purpose is to point that out.

I'm telling you I don't even know what YOU'RE arguing. Ok you disagree with me. So what do YOU think?

All you've said was "Yes, as it should be." As if things are just peachy with the status quo in the current dating paradigms. Is that your point? That everything is fine the way it is?

Not necessarily the way it is but yes, respectful men shouldn't approach women in random places. Same as respectful men not trying to sell stuff in random places. Isn't it bothersome when someone approaches you in a library or gym trying to sell you something? It's the same for getting asked out on dates in random places.

So yes, as it should be, respectful people shouldn't be hitting on people in random places.

Ok. So when is it appropriate to approach women, or are you arguing for women to approach men instead? And what would you say to women who are complaining about men not approaching them in the gym?

At social events, and yes women can approach men too, gender doesn't really matter. I wouldn't say anything to them, just let them figure it out on their own.

Ah so you can go around responding to men's pov and what they should do but nothing to say to women. As I expected. Thanks.

Idk what your POV is (or your gender for that matter.) i thought we were talking about people complaining about it.
