Having different levels of ask cultures makes so much sense to me now that I’ve heard about it. It explains why I felt creeped out the first couple of time I heard a woman say, “There’s nothing less sexy that a man who asks to kiss you.”
If rationalists should win, then we should have a secret signal that lets others know whether we want to be asked or guessed at. So the older I get the more I want some of Yvain’s Rakiovik status beads to tell people, “Ask me anything, please criticize me, and don’t worry about offending me.” On the Internet, maybe those ‘how to treat me’ labels go in my profile?
