Either through memes or comments I keep seeing this sentiment pop-up from time to time. And I’m wondering what your (yes, you) consensus is on it.
I for one am too pessimistic to do anything with potential hints. Like even if there is a good chance I still just don’t want to risk it.
If I interpret what I see as a hint in the wrong way, and actually act on that misinterpretation, it could almost trivially lead to my arrest, conviction, and likely incarceration. And any sort of record - even if I was exonerated - could do significant to severe damage to my life-long economic potential.
So I just don’t fucking deal with hints. The math just does not make that a viable option in any logical or rational way.
If you, as a woman, can’t come out and converse like a functional adult, imma just gonna ignore you wholesale like the immature, games-playing child you are.
Unless your response to a hint is sexual assault, how do you think that it’s supposed to trivially lead to your arrest?
I think you need to update your 60s-era viewpoint to include unwanted attention and a metric arseload of other things a lot less severe than outright rape.
This world isn’t black and white. There are a lot of shades of grey, and most of that spectrum has been criminalized (for men, specifically; women aren’t affected) since your obsolete and archaic viewpoint ossified itself into your brain.
Men have been arrested for as little as making a woman uncomfortable. Even when he didn’t even realize she existed in the first place.

Shoo, incels. Women might be pissed when you approach them, and might insult you, but that’s about it, unless you actually assault them.
They actually have a lot of trouble making cops move their butts when actual rape is committed, so nothing important is going to be done about guys hitting on girls 🙄
Leave your incel talking points at the door.

You were saying? And that’s just one of the first articles in the search results.
Interesting how the first thing you reached for was an ad hominem that is explicitly designed to shut down any conversation by shaming the other person into silence and into compliance with the female supremacist narrative.
Almost as if you had absolutely no viable counter-argument to provide.
Edit: And I am married. 18 years this year, 28 years with the same woman. So I am absolutely ineligible for the incel attribute. I just refuse to ignore uncomfortable facts, and will never bow to anti-reality ideologies.
Married men can (and often are) misogynist pigs. You may not be an incel, but get your facts straight.
Funny you should mention reality. Isolated facts happen, but they’re not characteristic of a larger reality that the poor men are oppressed by women. In fact, the opposite oppression exists in a systematic way: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Street_harassment, https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/85-002-x/2019001/article/00017-eng.htm
Crybabies. Don’t be a creep, and you’ll be alright. Open streets are not the right place to pick up women minding their own business. And even if you do it, the worst you’re likely to get is an insult, meaningless anecdotes aside, because cops are fucking useless.
What business does a man married for 30y have in talking about seduction? You clearly haven’t spoken to actual women in a while to seduce them, by your own admission further down in the discussion thread, and you’re spreading FUD about things you haven’t experienced. Stay on your lane. The world doesn’t need your misogynist ramblings. We all have uncles at Christmas dinners for that, thank you very much.
Fragile crybabies.
