Women of fb: How often do you get approached by men expressing romantic interest?

EXCLUDING bars and clubs, and not including catcalling or similar street harassment, how often would you say men approach you in-person in a way that feels like they are hitting on you or expressing romantic interest?

Please put your age, location, and how attractive you think you are. Doing an informal study on how ppl are meeting now!

Since dating apps took over, the amount of organic social interaction IRL has gone down. I’ve even seen men sitting alone at a bar with Hinge up on their phone. It’s pathetic.

I’m guessing that’s what you’re trying to get at with your ‘informal research’.

Yes need to collect data points

If you live in nyc or another big city, you will regularly get approached at restaurants (men sending wine/champagne to your table), workplace (clients, coworkers), sometimes men approaching you at department stores, and at events (shows, galas etc) as long as you’re not ugly.
