Some of these answers don't check out imo.

There is ZERO reason to believe men have gotten WORSE in the harassment department post #metoo. Its particularly ironic where countries where women have the highest standards of safety and the most objectively civilized and safe men complain about how "unsafe" dating is for them.

Not to mention one of the most basic definitions of harassment, is arguably bullshit and is half the problem.

"Uncomfortable on a date due to touch"

It is completely normal to feel uncomfortable at times during a date...I've had moments on a date where I felt uncomfortable and I've had women make advances on me that weren't the smoothest or best calibrated and I didn't feel 100% comfortable, but as long as I knew the women were in good faith, I would never gas light them for trying.

But the "good faith" part is the problem. Decades ago, if a man put his arm around a girl on a date, even if it made her feel a bit uncomfortable as it might have been slightly uncalibrated and a bit too early in the date, she knew he was just communicating that he liked her so she would give him the benefit of the doubt. Plenty of women still do give men this benefit of the doubt...but many women do not, and trying to figure out which type of girl you're on a date with and where her boundaries are has become a far riskier affair than ever.

SOMEONE has to make the first move physically, and quite frankly, both genders are absolute dog shit at subcommunicating when it should be, not to mention really shy people sometimes have such little dating experience they themselves don't know when it should be lol

So yeah, the war on human touch (male touch in particular) is one of the hills I'm willing to die on as it is single handedly fucking up the course of human evolution. An overwhelming majority of men and women NEED the touch barrier broken in order for sex to happen, sex needs to happen in order for relationships and babies to happen, and unfortunately part of dating is you're going to have people you aren't attracted too shoot their shot, but if you completely villainize one of the most important processes of attraction, the guys you ARE or might potentially be attracted too will skip the process...
