I’ve had women make the first move on me. Nowadays I turn them down when it happens because it typically doesn’t work out and I find out I didn’t approach them first for a reason.

I think most men don't mind it..how he reacts to it is gonna be judged on how attractive he finds the women..that's pretty much the same way a women reacts to a man approaching her..
Of course I don't speak for most men. I said "I" four times. Other guys may like women approaching them, I don't.

Cause it's what has happened to me.. After enough times, I saw that women aren't approaching me to be nice, they're approaching with intentions to get something or for a job. So I decided to make the approaches instead when I feel like it.

Yes, they most definitely should be, considering a man making a move nowadays, is considered sexual harassment. I just found out from many women that telling them a compliment in public, saying hello or good morning or opening the door for them, is sexual assault. sooooooo

Now I remembered why I’ve been spending less time here recently.
