    Moderation is key. Flirting and complements are fine, especially if rejections are gracefully accepted. Full on :reddit-logo: "TIFU by having sexy sex" :brainworms: are cringe, and it's telling how many of them tell on themselves by complaining about how they can't stare at kids in a public playground or stare at someone at the gym or something.

        They say it themselves. It's a fairly common "cancel culture gone too far" personal testimony on :reddit-logo: and it almost always involves them professing how totally not creepy they are while "merely examining nubile specimens of female humans in their optimal reproductive prime" or something like that. :agony-4horsemen:

            It's not an easily quantifiable boundary, so they hate that because they can't rules lawyer and metagame that boundary.
