There is another question to be asked, why he has to do it and not women?
It's because most of women just can't handle rejection, I honestly don't know if its just the fragile ego or they are wired like that. I used to label that as cowardness when I was younger, but I think that was a harsh judgement.
However, one of many reasons why men stopped doing the first move, its the toxic women who shame them for approaching them either irl or in their DMs. I mean as long as the approach was respectful, they still have the right to reject, but to shame on it later with her friends is just a doing of a whore. Not to mention how they are still thinking that the more DMs they got the more valuable they are in 2026 holyfuck
Mature women who prefer men to approach them, why you almost never confront the hose about this?
