I’m not a woman but will speak on what little I know from life experience.
From a woman’s perspective, an offer to share intimacy is not necessarily validating in the way a similar offer may be received by a man.
For some, perhaps many, women there is the looming question of whether an offer of intimacy is simply a man looking to make them the object of their sexual gratification. Many women are not interested in that.
As men, we’re not used to getting offers. So much so that when we get one it makes our day, week, month etc. For many women, the challenge is not getting offers, but there is a looming question of whether the offer genuine. What is the intention of the person showing interest? It’s not that men aren’t also concerned with these questions. It’s just that, for a variety of reasons, the stakes are lower for men. So they spend less time thinking about them and more on just being excited someone noticed them.
Also: dont overlook that media hounds women about everything.
Men are like this, too, Anon.
After receiving “unwanted advances” from women? Doubt. Women advancing on men, unwanted or not, is generally a big confidence booster
Bullshit, you know how many friends moms drunkenly told me “you’re cute” or “playfully” grabbed me?
It was not a confidence booster
Imma guess this hits about 95%.
