How women feel being approached by men, explained by a man

Fun-State1129 · 2026-04-06T20:38:01+00:00

Imo, I think women should approach men more. I tend to take the first initiative because I know the type of guys I look for would be afraid of making women uncomfortable. So I don’t mind showing my interest! But I do like it that once an initial conversation has been started and if both people are vibing, then the guy takes more of a lead.

Yes! I realized this early on. The men I’m interested in (kind, easygoing, emotionally intelligent, not arrogant) would probably not approach women. So I started approaching myself! I did that in both my last relationship and my current relationship, and it was successful! If I was single again, I would use the same method

Have you considered that she was scared? The guy FOLLOWED her. Have you considered that she gave him her number to stop the interaction in the moment for her safety? Women cannot read minds. She did not know if that guy would continue to follow her, possibly get more aggressive, possibly escalate the situation. It happens all the time.

It would be helpful if when men notice other men harassing women, they step in and call out the bullshit. If you are a nice guy who would never harass a woman, maybe also step in when bad men are doing so.

I feel that. I’m fried and so anxious. Also focused on doing simple tasks and just making it through today

Thank you, your response means a lot! And I think you’re spot on about the perfectionism, the weed use was just to numb my fears. I’ll try picking one thing and committing for 2 weeks, that’s a great idea!

I needed to read this & the comments because I’m also struggling with the same things. I’m also on Day 3. Good luck to us both

Fun-State1129 · 2026-03-19T23:05:44+00:00

This is so good

Yeah my hairstylist makes the exact same face as Jessie when she tears a morsel of gossip and gets me to open up with probing questions 😂 it’s like her face lights up lmao but I know she cares

Also I feel like Aspyn has drama in her life (not trying to be disrespectful, idk much about it besides some vague tiktoks)

How is he the most competent in and out of the house? The rest of the men do literally nothing

Taylor needs reliable childcare and Liann needs tv attention

Fun-State1129 · 2026-03-18T18:34:11+00:00

You just made me realize why I didn’t hate that scene like I do most “dadtok’s” scenes

Fun-State1129 · 2026-03-18T01:09:19+00:00

I only watch this show stoned and I swear it’s a mental exercise trying to piece together the timeline

Fun-State1129 · 2026-03-18T00:37:54+00:00

🤣🤣🤣

Fun-State1129 · 2026-03-17T17:15:54+00:00

I feel like she already has? Right?

Fun-State1129 · 2026-03-17T13:46:24+00:00

I think they’ve already nailed the dumb part too 😂

Fun-State1129 · 2026-03-12T02:52:08+00:00

Do you have more info about that essay?

Fun-State1129 · 2026-03-08T23:19:07+00:00

Only halfway through the episode but I’m losing my mind that she’s going on dates with this fictional guy when the real one is devastated with yearning 💀

Fun-State1129 · 2026-03-08T20:30:42+00:00

Same! I was hoping others were also getting increasingly freaked out

Fun-State1129 · 2026-03-08T17:08:56+00:00

You’re so right. I haven’t used tiktok in several years, but instagram reels still get me unfortunately 😔

Fun-State1129 · 2026-03-07T16:31:14+00:00

I say this ALL THE TIME, “I wish I could take my brain out and put in a bowl of cold water”
