Guys, I encourage you to talk to your straight men friends about the red flags they can possibly have.
Today I was helping out my friend to flirt through Instagram with a girl he likes. He wanted to meet with her and she strictly said: “no I can’t today because I am flying out of the country tomorrow and I have to pack and get ready”. Even though she was clear, the guy wanted to pursue her to give him some time (also she works far from her place and she has no fixed schedule so she was not really sure when she was going to be done).
I explained to him that straight white men are used to have everything “their way” and sometimes they are not aware of that privilege. In my perspective he was only thinking about himself and not about her, what she needed.
When I kept talking he open his eyes widely and took his phone only to reply: of course,
I totally get it I was only excited to see you and wanted to meet before you left for your trip.
I feel like talking to your friends sometimes can make unaware people a bit more empathetic with others. They’re like a little social service fee that we need to pay to life by being this fabulous 😂 what do you think? Am I crazy?
