1. "Don't bother a woman at the bar. She's just there to have a drink with her friends."
  2. "Don't bother a woman at the store. She's just there to shop."
  3. "Don't bother a woman at the library. She's just there to read."
  4. "Don't bother a woman who smiled at you. She's just a kind person."

the problem with this is that unless you're on a dating app, you can't really obtain consent without bothering the person first (reading the room can be difficult as one woman just friendly could be another woman's obvious flirting) , the very act of approach is asking whether there she will agree to something more -- is asking for consent --

Every approach can be construed as problematic when it is from the eyes of a woman who isn't welcoming to a mans advances -- no matter how polite it is, how fast he reads her cues of disinterest and backs off is never enough . This is why women keep piling up rules that lead men not to approach them at all: they star s with don't approach at work, but outside professional settings is ok, then we get but don't bother me in the park walking my dog or while running errands cause its "weird" , so they suggest bars and night-clubs, but then they're just there to enjoy a night out with their friends and really don't appreciate men hitting on them either...
