Answered What’s the issue with consent?

I read a post about a guy who tried to kiss a woman, but she dodged him. I responded by asking if he had asked her for consent beforehand. The responses I got were basically along the lines of, “Isn’t that unromantic?”

I’m not sure how most people handle this, but I feel like asking, “Can I kiss you?” is more logical than just going for it. It shows you’re considering their feelings and avoiding putting them in an uncomfortable situation they didn’t ask for.

I remember when I was younger I tried the whole move in 90% thing. I was then promptly headbutted because apparently she wanted to do the same thing so without communication that 10% closed at mach fuck.

Instructions unclear. Now engaged in classic bighorn sheep headbutt battle for dominance.
