flirting advice

Believe it or not, there are still men out there—in the era of #MeToo—who blatantly hit on women. I am talking about dropping slimy, assertive, super cheesy lines. Even if the lines aren’t cheesy, they’re still lines. There really isn’t such thing as having a “good line” because the mere concept alone of just blatantly hitting on a woman is very passé. I don’t know why but some men still haven’t learned that most women don’t like to just be hit on. We really don’t go out, just hoping that men will shower us with flirtatious attention. Really, we promise you, men: we have no shortage of that kind of attention. I don’t know of any successful relationship that ever started with a line. I don’t know of any couple whose story began with someone just so obviously hitting on someone. In fact, the discomfort of it is in the name—hitting on. It does feel like an unexpected assault. Men may think it’s flattering but it’s creepy. Here is why being blatantly hit on is uncomfortable and outdated.

It’s all about looks

If a man walks up to a woman whom he doesn’t know at all and hits on her, he’s laying the fact that he’s solely interested in her for her looks on the table. Look, physical attraction has to exist but when a man hits on a woman, he is basically saying, “Physical attraction is enough for me.”
