Garbage like this makes it harder for men to meet women

I've just read an article that has really annoyed me! It's a follow-up to an article written last week entitled "Why do men shout at women in the street?" which was about a group of women campaigning against men wolf-whistling at them, making lewd comments, harrassing them, etc. Now let me make this clear from the outset, no woman should be harrassed or feel threatened at any time. However, this follow-up article entitled "Is it OK to compliment a stranger?" is taking the discussion to ridiculous levels!

Is approaching a woman and talking to her harrassment? Is this to be considered a bad thing? The way some people are talking you'd think it is. Listen to this from Marcelle D'Argy Smith, a former editor of Cosmopolitan magazine: "We don't want to be talked to and we want to go around unimpeded and that's the truth."

Now I've no problem if that's the way she feels, that's up to her, it's her loss! If I approached her and she gave me the brush-off, no problem I'd just walk on and talk to someone else.

What really annoys me is that she's putting it out there as if she's speaking for all women!

This is another example of the numerous crap that's written in the media which tells men that they shouldn't approach women, that they should be afraid to approach women because they're attention is not wanted, which is just not true! Witness all the women who complain about not meeting any good men.

This article is full of other rubbish advice that won't help you attract women such as "if you do or say anything that you'd take offence at if it were your mother on the receiving end then you've definitely gone too far"

Check out the whole thing for yourself here then come back and leave a comment:
