Well put — there was even a thread on 4chan asking why men don’t approach women anymore (being critical of men of course) but men don’t do it anyone either because 1) they’re brainwashed like the Redditors in that image and put women on a pedestal (wouldn’t want to offend ma lady or make a woman “feel” unsafe/wouldn’t want to “appear creepy” etc
or 2) they’re red and or blackpilled and they just understand now that the consequences for approaching are too high for it to be worth it. Cold approaching doesn’t work and women only want to be approached on dating apps where they can filter all away but Chad. Approaching outside of these contexts enrages them and society looks down on you if not outright punishing you and thrashing your reputation. It’s just gotten ridiculous and nobody seems to notice nobody seems to care.
