Boys are often oblivious to when they're being hit on. They think "oh she's just being nice." He might just need to alter his assumptions about why women are interacting with him.

No, it sounds like PPs son is being reasonable. My DD and her friends can't stand it when boys think they're being hit on just because a girl engages in a conversation with them.

No, the boy is being hit on 90% of the time. How often do you see women engaging in conversation with strangers. Not saying they want to date them, but it’s the first step to see if there’s something worth pursuing.

The 60:40 environment is making men feel more entitled, assuming most of the times they are chased and treating the other gender poorly. This behavior used to be reserved only for pretty girls.

OMG. My HS daughter for crying out loud has no problems going up to a boy she doesn't know if she has a question or when she's with friends, it's not unusual for them to go to a group of boys to strike a conversation about whatever. Kids these days aren't always looking to hook up.

Woman here and I have no fear in engaging in conversations with men I don't know. Doesn't mean I'm attracted to them.

Almost every school is creeping towards 60/40, even those that were 50/50 as recent as 3 years ago. Georgetown, Michigan, etc.

Depending on the school he'll either pull like crazy or turn into a radical feminist.

Maybe we could refrain from using the word “jackpot” in this discussion?

The steepest decline of males occurred from the fallout of Covid. Males applicants dropped by 7%, while female applicants dropped by only 2%...and males were already much lower in applying to college.

Ok, she’s going out with the girls and striking conversations with boys because she has a “question”. Sounds like flirting to me.

And this my friends is why boys are arrogant and feel entitled at these schools nowadays. Boys who have never had experience with platonic friendships or just having regular conversations with girls all of a sudden think their kings because people within the majority group are saying hi to them or asking them a question. Oh boy.

Wow that is the opposite of so many women’s experiences where they are just being polite (often just trying to do their literal jobs) and men assume they are being hit on and then get aggressive and mean.

Please let your son continue assuming his classmates are just being nice. They probably are.

Please with the faux feminism. Work or classroom setting is different.

Reverse the genders. Women in their 20s are going out with friends and men approach them and strike a conversation. Most of the time he’s hitting on her.
