I just don’t think it’s healthy to assume every man is a psycho and then make them prove otherwise, especially if you want to try dating them

It’s a bit difficult to determine just from online interactions, don’t you think?

“Dating” doesn’t mean what it used to mean. These days “dating” means “I swiped right, we talked for an hour or two and now we’re meeting for the first time”.

As long as the other person is upfront about it, I wouldn’t be weirded out if they brought a friend to feel better, honestly, no fucking clue who would have an issue with that. Because it’s not about “all men”, it’s about “I’m meeting a stranger”.

If you’re the person who sees that situation as an attack, you’re better off leaving the other party alone.
