@kirbyhatesincels917 Same behaviour but it's "creepy" if you're unattractive. It's "cute" if you're not. Key lesson in this - first, be attractive. Second, don't be unattractive.

In the UK, what he did would have broken several laws including the new sex-based harassment, malicious communications, (general) harassment and stalking laws. If a woman believes it is unwanted communication or attention, it's illegal. It just hasn't been tested in a court of law yet.

The UK now has laws for dealing with men like him. The legal premise is that men should know if a woman is interested in him or not before he approaches if he does not want to break the law.

The way things are going, that's becoming a way to encounter someone who will deem your approach offensive and will likely put you in legal and financial peril.

There was a recent court case in Britain where a man said no to a woman's advances and the court found in favour of the woman. She left court a free woman and setting a legal precedent. In the UK, men do not have the right to consent, only women do.

With the forthcoming sex-based harassment and new online safety laws in the UK, if he had done that there, he would have to reflect on his words behind the door of a jail cell should she report him to the police (which she would have a right and duty to). He'd also face being done under harassment and stalking law for part 2. PUA's have been jailed in the UK for far less than this.

Rejection alone could soon land you in prison. New laws on unsolicited and unwanted communication and behaviour including anything that would require a woman having to reject a man will be in place soon, if not already, in western countries in reaction to events in Australia recently as well as lobbying to bring in new safety and anti-misogyny laws.

Oh good. Now dating apps will become even more efficient in giving you zero matches unless you're in the top five or so percent of high status males.

In the UK, he'd be reflecting on his words in a jail cell because if she reported him, he'd face breaking several laws. Pick-up artists have gone to prison for far less than this.

@EbonAvatar It made the national newspapers. R. vs Imogen Brooke.

@caitolent The UK now has sex-based harassment in public laws to deal with such an incident like this. The legal onus is on the man to know if he will be rejected or not before he approaches her.

In the UK, this is a specific crime now. And there are proposals to go even further with unwanted communication and behaviour against women - Ashfield in Nottinghamshire is proposing to make that a fineable offence and new laws are coming down the line.

In the UK, this game will end up being passed from the Video Standards Council to the BBFC for rating because of its adult content and there isn't a hope that the BBFC will allow this game to be released. Even if they removed the bear aspect.
