I usually run up to the guys first yelling “HIGH FIIIIIIIVE!!! HIGH FIIIIIIIIVE!!!” And then just high five them, and then their buddies, and then their ladies. Surprisingly enough, if the ratio is 1:1, thats when I get the most female rejection. If the ratio is off in either direction, thats when I get the cool women. The ones who are just as excited as I am.
You asked, dude. I’m telling you to me, I’d probably see you as threatening at worst and annoying at best. If you asked a woman’s perspective only to tell her she’s wrong, you’re missing the point. I don’t care that you think you’re hilarious and safe. That is not necessarily how you come across to every woman; they can’t read your mind.
This exact scenario sounds threatening and like a total buzz kill. You need to understand that being out in a bar situation is a little vulnerable for women for obvious reasons, how am I supposed to know the guy coming up yelling to do a thing is safe? This could turn scary so dang quick. I get that you are just trying to be friendly and personable, but if I don’t know you then I would absolutely be taking a step back and wish you hasn’t done that.
I can’t speak for all women, but you asked. I’m not even remotely suprsied that this isn’t something other women don’t reciprocate. I think maybe you should reconsider doing this.
What??? I’m not hitting people. I’m giving high fives.
And how sure are you that you don’t look very similar to someone about to hit? Arm raised? Unbalanced? Questionable awareness of their own strength?
An overexuberant man, let alone one with bad intentions, could easily hurt me and I don’t feel like risking it for an annoying stranger.

Seriously, this is like lightweight man or bear.

The privilege of not having to be on guard while out around drunk people.
