Honestly in today's landscape, (and i don't say this easily or lightheartedly), i seriously believe the best thing to do is to not make a move on women at all.

that is because most women (like all people) are constantly over-stressed (from work and other chores) and simply don't have the "energy" (mental energy) to date. so it doesn't amount to anything anyways.

if you really like someone and want to make a move on them anyways, today my best advice would be to tell them directly. wait till you spend a calm minute together and tell them "look i don't wanna be creepy but you look really cute and i wanted to ask you whether you'd go out with me sometimes".

This is very heavily influenced by your local culture.

is there ANY appropriate way that everyone cam agree on for men to approach having a relationship with women?

Sadly no, because women, like men are not a monolith and there are many factors to consider. Not all women are going to have the same opinions nor outlooks. However, in general I would say do not be objectifying or misogynistic in any way if that's possible for you, really care about consent (not just in sexytimes) and bodily autonomy and learn about feminism (though not white feminism) and grow from there.

You are absolutely allowed to look at a woman or make moves. Just respect other people and their boundaries.

Just move in the world, do stuff you like, meet people, be respectful to them and make connections. Don't force stuff and respect the wishes of others.

If you do this, there is absolutely room for getting to know people better and becoming romantically involved. Just don't be a dick.

Also, no need to be attractive as long as you're true to yourself and are as open to others as you hope for them to be towards you.

I always had the impression that a friendship or a similar type of relation should come first, to both gauge what the other person is like and to have time for both parties to build up a connection. Once that's done, consider where to go from there.

Granted, I have only had one 'romantic' relationship where I got romanced by a girl (didn't go anywhere precisely because it was so rushed), so I'm definitely inexperienced and probably far too naive to be giving takes. Still, I'm skeptical of Tinder and the idea of "let's make moves on a (near-)stranger", it just seems like a recipe for headache and breakups with only a low chance at a long-term relationship.

There's only two rules:

1. Be attractive
2. Don't be unattractive

If you follow those you shouldn't have any problems.

Not without being extremely vague.

Every person is different and your ideal approach would be tailored to the person. I cannot emphasize enough how important timing is. No amount of rizz would work on your soulmate if you caught them on a bad day.

As someone mentioned women are all different. Personally I don't mind a bit of rudeness, in fact I'd say it's necessary, but the most important aspect for me is that he values my sense of safety. Like without that nothing else can exist. That effectively just means that he is fine with who he is and is able to just have fun without making things weird. I think guys often don't realize the level of abuse women have to deal with. It just goes on and on! So don't fall into that category, it's pretty fundamental.

Well, there's a right point in time. You can start casual. And then you'd need to read the room. You can't propose at the second date. But I'd say if the woman keeps agreeing to spend time with you, you can step it up. Like go to the cinema and watch some tear jerker. Or the new Minions movie, whatever floats your boat. I don't really see the issue here. If you keep enjoying time together, you'll proceed to a point where it's alright to ask what to do with it. Be friends or start a relationship.

I mean, typically if you ask in a way that isn't totally overwhelming and pushy and then accept a "no" when you get one, you're going to be fine. Maybe if you get to know her at least a little first and feel things out before immediately throwing it out there you'll have better luck, but I think for the most part if you're respectful and considerate about it you're not going to have too much backlash.

If this question is actually "how do I shoot my shot with zero chance of a negative reaction", though, you kind of don't. That's part of the risk of putting yourself out there.

Why did you choose the beehaw instance to ask this particular question?

Dick pics, or diamond rings. Maybe put a diamond ring on in your dick pic so people know what's on offer.
