Hackspaces are supposed to be safe spaces to do work, you aren&#x27;t there for flirting&#x2F;socialzing&#x2F;picking-a-mate. There, like work, it is inappropriate to be trying to &quot;seduce&quot; someone. Try a bar.
To tell women that by being in public they have to accept endless random seduction attempts is a giant part of the problem.<p>Also gay guys usually don&#x27;t just hit on everyone because at least they usually have the grace to know when it&#x27;s appropriate and when it&#x27;s not and also when it might be  reciprocal (wanted) and when not.
