It’s time men started working like women!

As a heterosexual man, I understand that I am the least entitled person who should be talking about a woman’s perspective on society. All I have are vague ideas given to me from conversations that I’ve had with my female friends or awkward experiences that I myself have been forced to endure while going out with aforementioned friends or relatives (sister, cousins).

There were many occasions where guys would suddenly come up to start hitting on one of the females that would happen to be in our group. Usually they would walk away rejected because none of the women I know would ever feel safe going home or even starting a conversation with a total stranger that they just met in a random location. Of course, there are others that would feel alright doing that and that’s fine, that’s not my point here.

My point is that, more often than not, these men would be awkward, clumsy and not the best thing to look at, to be brutally honest. When I would see them the first thing that would come to mind is that they must have an awful lot of courage (or audacity, take your pick) to suddenly walk up to a strange girl and start talking to her in a public place, but also, what in the world made them believe that she would actually be willing to go home with them?
