Why do most men just look at women but never say anything?

I'm sure most people have experienced someone just looking at them but not saying anything to you. Sometimes it's a stranger who you meet briefly and sometimes it's a person you see often.

I these modern times a man making an unwelcomed advance is deemed Abuse.. So if a man does not want to end up with a sex offenders record and sacked from his job he is not going to be playing Russian roulette by approaching a woman..

@Adstar when women stare and don't saying anything we're thinking about how attractive you are and we are shy and hoping you come over to us. When a man stares he's trying decide if it's worth the jail time lol wow

@Adstar If that’s a possibility, there’s something wrong with your approach.

@LeopoldBloom My approach??? I don't make approaches. 🙂 I never get into that type of trouble with woman.. 👍
@Adstar So why are you all worried about an unwelcome advance being characterized as abuse? Or you're just theorizing based on some crap you heard from a MGTOW?

@LeopoldBloom Did you not read the opening question of the original poster???? I was offering an answer to her question::

[quote]Why do most men just look at women but never say anything?[/quote]

It's not the only answer.. Some guys do this for other reasons..

The Laws in my Country ""Australia"" state this very clearly.. Making an unwelcomed advance to a woman is abuse.. Therefore wise men avoid the risk of losing their freedom and carrier by NOT approaching woman in a romantic way..

Yes MGTOW does highlight this.. But again it IS THE LAW now.. so MGTOW or No MGTOW i would decide to adapt to the LAW and avoid the danger the LAW represents to me.. Other men can play Russian roulette with woman if they cannot resist the temptation and are lead by their little head over their big head if they do desire.. But not me man..
@Adstar OK, that's different. You should follow the law in your country. It's a very good law, by the way. Unwelcome advances of any kind are abusive. For example, walking up to someone and offering unasked-for health advice can be considered harassment, even if your intentions are good.

Speaking for myself, I often see attractive women in public, but I don't walk up to them and compliment them because that could be viewed as aggressive.

You think it is a good law?? That's incredible..

I think it is a terrible law.. How are men and woman going to get together and create the next generation and keep their civilization going if men stop approaching woman?

No matter what feminist dogma has been saying over the last 50 years the vast majority of woman do not aggressively make the first approach to men.. Even the most ""modern"" woman still like the man to make the first approach..

A question for you and anyone else reading on::

When does a man first find out His advance towards a Woman is unwelcomed?

@Adstar Im not an aggressive woman at all but put me in a situation where I know a man well enough to know he likes me but just won't make a move and I will approach him first. It's a lot harder to approach someone you are not familiar with so all you really have to go off is eye contact. How often do they look at you? If they look over multiple times that's a sign to approach them but there are no guarantees. What men tend to do is approach a woman or compliment a woman who hasn't even noticed him so it comes as an ambush in a way. If you're just standing there exchanging mutual eye contact and haven't said anything to her she's probably hoping you do.
@Adstar And we're back to the problems with your approach. Is there something in between "rape women on sight" and "don't go anywhere near women?" How about paying attention to social cues, and only making an advance when you're fairly certain it will be welcomed, while being prepared to back off if asked? Of course, if you aren't able to sense those social cues, that could be a problem, and the most prudent thing in that case would be to either not approach anyone, or have a more astute person arrange your relationships for you. Like Myles Standish asking John Alden to approach Priscilla Mullins on his behalf (although that didn't turn out the way Standish wanted).

The idea that the law you have will prevent the next generation from being born is ludicrous. There are plenty of people; humanity is in no danger of going extinct because of "feminism."

If you want the freedom to approach women with no restrictions, what's your view on gay men propositioning you? Imagine some big, burly "bear" walking up to you while you're in the supermarket and telling you that you have a nice ass and asking if you'd be OK if he buttfucked you. Or, imagine that this is at night in a deserted alley.

You just don't get it leopoldBloom..

Or more likely you do gt it but you just refuse to acknowledge the situation..

Your example of a homosexual making an advance just shows me you are not paying attention to what i have said.. You really are dodging.. So no point in continuing the conversation..
@Adstar A gay man approaching you for sex, and you approaching a woman for sex, are [b]exactly[/b] the same thing. The only reason you see a difference is because of your religious indoctrination, that tells you your interest in women is "normal" while a gay man's interest in you is "sinful."

So should I assume that if a large, threatening gay man propositioned you, you'd just tell him "no" with no concern for your safety?
