>>93931783Forget standards, not many men are the targets of explicit, clear, and un-hidden romantic or sexual advances. To have a woman just come up to you and say that she loves you, or wants to have sex with you might be a fun fantasy, but who has had precedence for that in their real lives? Few to none I'd bet. And then there is the effect of media, entertainment, and tainted word of mouth from people recycling fiction and saying it as a truth that they experienced or came to know of from a source that they can't point to. And in these stories or narratives, a woman that makes clear advances on you isn't mentally well, is deceiving you. or just wants to hurt for her amusement, or for the amusement of people she arranged to be present when you finally accept what she offers.
There isn't much truth in this, but most of us would be suspicious or at least cautious in such a situation. Women have sex drives, and are being more open about it. But still even knowing this, wouldn't you be startled if a woman that don't or do know just says so variant no the formula of "I love you, think your good looking/sexy, are a good man, and I think being in relationship with you would be a good thing,"?
Honestly my response would be, "Sorry, I'm just not used to being wanted."
