“I want my work done for me and I don’t want to pay for it”

In terms of functionality and UI, my vote goes to Paramount+. They’re lucky I love Star Trek so much.

This was the opinion of one cardinal, not like it was an official stance of the church.

How is it unsafe for a man to approach a woman in a social situation?

How have women made it difficult for men?

The unsatisfying answer: you’re both a little bit right.

You’re correct that times have changed somewhat. But I think it’s overkill to say that “approaching women at all unless you have business with them is disrespectful and borderline harassment”.

Of course, context matters a lot. Don’t bother women at their jobs, the bank is not a lady zoo. But in a social situation where you would expect to meet other people, it’s fine to strike up a conversation with strangers or even ask them out.

However, by your own admission you don’t get out much. So I’m assuming you don’t get a lot of situations like bars or parties where this would happen. So I would try networking in your community, develop some hobbies, go to functions where you might meet someone in this manner.
