There is a dangerous mindset ... well, everywhere ... that men are somehow entitled to approach strangers to initiate some kind of romantic contact. Somehow I don't think this would be the case if the media didn't offer up women's bodies like they were hors d'ouvres.
I don't know how any woman can find this behavior flattering. It's nothing to do with who you are, it's what you look like that they notice, and they don't notice and decide they want to get to know who you are, what kind of person you are, be your friend, no... they want something else. Somehow I think women wouldn't respond to such impersonal attention to their bodies as things in any positive way ever if we weren't conditioned to think that our looks were our most important asset.
Sorry, I just saw a comment that expressed this 'every guy gets to ask once' mindset. Pisses me right off.
