Finding a Life Manual

What is the best piece of advice women would like to give to men on how to approach women?

what a lot of men don’t realize is that every time an unknown man approaches a woman, it is by default threatening. The best way for a man to understand this is that women view strange men the way men view cops: probably harmless, but always carrying a non-zero chance that they will inflict violence on you and you will not be able to defend yourself. As a man, if you see a cop approach you, think of the immediate heightened sensitivity and “on-guard”-ness that you experience - that is how almost all women feel when an unknown man approaches them. A man doing so must do something active and specific in order to immediately make themselves non-threatening in order to have a chance.

And beyond violence there is a chance they will be creepy in other ways.
