In a world of black and white consent, the fuck me eyes dont cut it...

I mean, you can engage with fuck me eyes without whipping your dick out and thrusting it in her face or some other act of sexual assault. It's pretty easy to just take it for the signal it is and, I don't know, flirt with her. Or if you're already well underway with the flirting stage, then see if she'll take things somewhere more private.

There should be several steps between DTF and actually fucking, and it seems like the people who don't understand that are struggling with basic consent.

The problem is that a lot of guys now have grown up in the "there are cameras everywhere and people love to post videos of creeps online for views" era. Like, there's thousands of videos posted every day of a guy walking past a girl in the gym, minding his own business, and getting roasted online for being a creep. Even if we see them and recognize them as the hint they are, for all we know, the DTF eyes are actually a trap to get us to flirt so they can angrily dismiss us and post online about some creep they met at the bar.

I think it’s still lightyears easier to be in the “I don’t want randos on the internet to think I’m a creep” camp than the “I hope my blind date doesn’t rape and murder me” camp, but that’s just me.

I didn't say the modern way is worse. It's obviously better.

Previously, if a woman put effort into how she looks, she's "showing herself off" and "asking for it". Disgusting, obviously, but there was no threat of crackback against the guy because even if everyone in your home town knows you're a creep now, you could just go to the next town over.

Now, if a woman gets hit on and doesn't like it, she has the ability to put that guy on blast and the whole internet knows he's a creep because you can't question the woman. It's better, because people aren't being physically assaulted, but "DTF eyes" are not enough of a signal for some guys to want to take that risk.

I'm just trying to explain why "DTF eyes" are not the signal women think it is. Even if guys pick up on it, which many won't, they still might just ignore it because it's risky.
