What do you mean by “romantic novels?”
They all have random meetings by fate/chance. Women find that highly romantic.
Another sexist generalization. The simple fact that I have a vagina says nothing about my taste in literature.

At any rate, your “method” almost never works, and it would be very easy for someone without excellent social skills to come off as creepy, especially individuals who had problems with that in the past.
People need to ditch the cold approach, pursue personal growth, and look for more natural opportunities to get to know people as friends.

I think if its done in a friendly way and so long as the man can pick up the early cues they are infringing on personal space/privacy. Yes of course, I wouldn't want men trying to chat up my daughter. Fortunately she is the obstinate type.

82% of romance novel readers are women, and 18% are men. 45% of romance readers have a college degree.

It’s still a sexist generalization because you assumed that Isabella and I read them. Note that it doesn’t say that 82% of women read romance novels. Even if it said that, that’s not all women.
I have a college degree but that doesn’t mean anything in this context either.

Meeting by chance isn't the same as having some rando wanna smell your socks.
And also, what TP said.

The closest I can think of one was Judy Blume's Summer Sisters, which is lesbian.

It doesn’t matter if we have or haven’t. Frankly, it’s none of your damn business. It has nothing to do with the original post or the current discussion.

You inserted yourself into this conversation when you said you hate being harrassed by strange men. I never meant you or Isabella as the subject matter but (as usual) you want to be front and centre

Members can participate in any threads they want to on WP unless there’s a new rule I don’t know about. Participating in threads doesn’t mean that we have to divulge our reading lists unless that’s also a new rule I don’t know about.
Sharing concerns about harassment was extremely relevant to the current discussion, especially since, in past threads, Jamesy had concerns about that which I won’t discuss further here.
