I'm so torn on this! You're really confident, it's great that you're feeling good about yourself, I love that you're making youtube videos to inspire other people and try to share that confidence and positivity. And yet, and yet... approaching women on the street and commenting on their appearance is kind of not cool. It's not the ideal place to approach them, it feels a little disrespectful because they're doing their own thing, they didn't go to their local shopping district hoping to be stopped on the street by strangers. Especially when you say stuff like "you seem cool but not as cool as bioethics". That's gentle but it's still negging, this is some PUA shit. Please don't let your own empowerment journey lead you to see women as targets to pursue. We are just people, not prey.
