basically women are only interested in the attention/ ego economy. the only ones who are interested in a relationship are the ones who don't get any free male attention. asking a girl out irl in 2025 is an act of pure submission. from that moment on she has all the power. because there are no longer any standards of behaviour.  since it's an act of submission and women are hard wired to find this kind of behaviour revolting in potential mates. even if a girl is into you, if you ask her out she'll get the ick.
