Might be kinda rude, but a criminal offense? And they wonder why no guys ask them out.

Heterosexuality is against the law in the U.K. Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time.

And that is why men no longer approach women… and then the women bitterly complain

Back when they did Brexit, I held out hope they were coming to their senses. But, ever since then, there’s been nothing but constant disappointment.
