I have seen so many different approaches to dating be responded to by Lemmings as inappropriate or creepy, much of it hypocritical to other responses, but I digress: is there ANY appropriate way that everyone can agree on for men to approach having a relationship with women?

From the collective consciousness of Lemmy comments I have read, my impression is that the only appropriate thing is to be born into a marriage and never make any moves or even so much as look at a woman in your lifetime.

Yeah. I don't think anyone thinks they are pretty looking. I don't even think guys think they are. Impressive, maybe, if it's gigantic. But don't think that covers many people.
I think guys are proud of it? Or it's along the lines of 'I'm ready' or 'look what I have'. Overall they would be better off looking at what the gay community posts. I logged onto blue sky and hit the toggle allowing nudity, hoping for occasional women sexiness. However, the only difference was seeing a bunch of men showing their beards and bulged underwear. I'm not gay - but I can tell at least they are trying to do something artistic. Unlike the classic dick pic - just an ugly body appendage and hand

this is somewhat tangential but i think we need to move away from saying penises themselves are ugly, it's a body part same as any other. nobody should feel a part of their body is ugly. humans are beautiful, anatomy is diverse.

re: dick pics however, those are certainly mostly very badly done. there are myriad explanations for that that dont need to shame body parts for existing though. and any dick pic sent unsolicited is certainly an ugly thing.
