The ladies arent doing it? Are they being raped?
Consider for a moment how women were perceived for being the aggressor.
Now granted things have changed, slowly, but that stigma dies hard.
I remember in my youth girls that would be so bold as to ask a man out was labeled a hoe by both males and females and gained the reputation of being easy.

A nice guy doesn't have to tell you or himself that he's nice. He just is. If you're not doing well with women, it's probably because you're not as nice as you think you are.
You must be a woman....your knowledge/experience is completely different from mine. I'm married and have learned to be really nice to women to keep them from hitting on me.

Yeah, one memorable event was a man who was cornering my then 9-year-old daughter. When I called him out on it he commenced with the "I'm a nice guy" canard, which I obviously was not having. My husband took over from there.

He cornered a pre-pubescent child? Gross.

My wife has also been directly approached several times, in my presence, by aggressive Danish men hitting on her. She always dispatches them with ease and is generally pretty kind about it. Sexual harassment?
I dont think anyone has insinuated that a man approaching or making a general comment like your example is sexual harassment. If I missed it please point it out.

Nor did I catch any suggestion that the majority of men making unsolicited advances were not easily dispatched or that their advancements were sexual harassment. If I missed it please point it out.

I think the disconnect is between the title of the thread and the actual topic of the thread. All advances are unsolicited, but the thread isn't about all advances it's about specific ones that cross the line. Perhaps the subject title was deliberately misleading to draw in more fish. Describing something normally innocuous with the insinuation that it is something sinister.

A man who forces a woman to give him a BJ(rape) and a man who corners 9 year old girls(pedophilia) are not in the same category as a guy with no game who awkwardly hits on a woman out of his league but the thread title seems to lump them together.

I'd love to see a thread on experiences of men who were promised/given sex by women in order to get something in return.

I have seen women exchange sex for favors in the work place and have heard women admit to offering sex for various financial rewards in relationships.

women can be just as cunning, manipulative, and devious as men. the whole premise that women by virtue of xx chromosomes are innocent, blameless, powerless creatures is absurd.

Always a cause and an argument. Pick a decade. It never ends and they're never satisfied. The more they get the more they want.

Womens ongoing dissatisfaction with life in general has broken up the traditional family structure/home life and placed society in turmoil.
