I get you. But the climate has shifted. "Unwelcome advances" can be different things to women. How do you know for woman A the "unwelcome advances" means this thing but for woman B it means other things.
Lemme ask you. Asking a phone number from a woman is acceptable or not in a gym? It depends on whom you ask. Some women think that gym is strictly for working out. Other women are more open to this kind of approach.
Not every man has high EQ, can read the room and women's body language. Not every man is social savvy.
When building this dating app, I'm thinking of a group of men which are not so good approaching women. Getting courage to approach women is already exhausting. But it's not enough. You have to know which women are open to dating.
- jokethrowaway 5y agoThis idea that unwelcome advances is harassment is ridiculous (not saying that's what you're saying in your comment, just what I've heard countless times in discussions). Asking for a phone number is ok at almost any time. If you ask me mid workout I'll be annoyed though and likely react negatively. If you ask me and I'm engaged / not looking, it will be annoying. Some women train in women only gym for this reason. I still think it's ok to ask in a polite way. Just don't ask in a situation where the receiver may feel threatened (eg. Alone in a dark alley) and react out of fear.
