I think new-wave feminists are a hindrance to dating

It really depends on the location or situation if your advances are welcomed. In the workplace, especially if you are a superior it is a hard no, don't do it. Workplace romances in general are super risky because it could jeopardize both your jobs depending on company policy or if things dont't go well.

Your best bet is to pick places where advances are welcomed like bars, clubs, or meet and greets. Join meetup.com and do things that you're interested in to meet singles that way.

Most single women are in fact more likely to accept the advances from men in the right setting, because so many men are reluctant to make a move given the current climate.

Women can generally tell from a mile away if you're creepy or not, so it you're not weird, you can do well asking someone out in appropriate places.

If all else fails, join a dating app. Atleast then when you make contact you know they are atleast somewhat interested and can proceed from there.

#metoo was/is a necessary movement to bring knowlege and punishment to predators like Bill Cosby and Harvey Weinstein. Reasonable people realize it went too far and saw harmless, good men getting dragged down by agenda driven women.

Women are more judgemental of other women than men are and are well aware of the current climate, so if you are respectable and desirable you need not worry.

The hardcore feminists that are trying to take your balls are either lesbians or are no one you want to be with anyways.

Controversial opinion here: If you gotta blame your dating failures on others' preferences then you probably are a creep.

Not a comment on the feminist thing but just on the way you described dating - stop trying to get inside a girl's head. Obviously you need to make an effort and be polite but ultimately just be yourself on a date. If she doesn't like that then fuck her, plenty more fish in the sea.

My God it's so bad here in California, women hate even the mention of trump, to the point of just existing the conversation without a chance of explanation. Some rant at abortion rights like they dont belive 50% of women are pro life. It's so annoying.

I guess I can see where you are coming from, but its not really anything you can change on your own.
So better just set it aside and don't let it shroud your mind to think that there are outside forces that keeps you down.

An investigative journalist went to Afghanistan to study the culture and was shocked to discover that women were made to walk ten paces behind the men. She asked her guide why and he said, "Because they are considered of lesser status." Outraged the journalist went home. A year later she returned covering violence in the region and was surprised to see the women walking ten paces ahead. She turned to her guide and this time asked, "What has changed?" The guide answered, "Land mines."

I never noticed large groups of feminists hanging around my area, at least not being vocal about it.

Being genuine is just being yourself and talking to people. You're putting way too much thought into this, like women have some kind of checklist in their mind and if you do all the right things they'll reward you with sex. Just go out and talk to people.

I don't think feminism is the reason why you aren't getting a date, interestingly you kinda of stated some things that a woman is looking for in your comment.

I havent ran into any feminist women where I live. Not the crazy ones that I see on YouTube anyway.

Yes new-wave feminism is dumb, irritating and toxic, but I’m so sick of people complaining about it. Find something to focus on. You’re really no different than the females who bitch about toxic masculinity. God does everybody whines so much.
