Sneaky Ways Men Hit On You, While Pretending They’re Not

Helping you move/paint/organize

Moving and setting up a new home takes a lot of work. I’d love to say I’m strong enough to lift all my own couches and dressers, but I am not. I’d also love to say I am rich enough to hire movers for a day, but I am not. So that means I often must rely on the kindness of others when I need to relocate. And, not to throw shade at my girlfriends, but they, like me, can’t really lift my bedframe. So that leaves me to rely on the kindness of male friends. It’s tough because you hear the way men tease their buddy if he helps a woman move and “Isn’t getting anything in return.” It’s so baked into the conversation among men, when one tells his friends he’s helping a woman move, that as the woman, you almost feel bad asking a man who you don’t want to sleep with, to help you move. And that very guilt is something some guys capitalize on when they help you move your big bed, then try to get in it with you.
