    I mean, I know it’s a meme, so what. But before getting the pitchforks out: does anyone have a link to Henry Cavill saying this? Just curious.

    I searched and it’s all memes and reaction videos. Maybe true, maybe true but sarcastic, or maybe false. My guess is it has all the making of a quote that nobody fact checks because it’s too good for engagement.

      I didn’t read it as being a genuine quote, and I don’t think the idea was to smear Cavill. I think he was just used a proxy for the incel talking point of only hot dudes think you can just ask women out and have it work.

          • Sure, it also sometimes rains in the desert.

            If you’re not getting dates, waiting for her to ask obviously isn’t working, so you might as well try doing the asking.

              If nobody is asking, you have to ask. That goes for everyone.

              I was just pointing out that asking the woman out is not necessary.
