Ok, so less a shower thought and more a “random observation while standing in line to vote” thought, but my mind is about equally checked out in both scenarios, so I’ll count it.

Which is why so many women hate talking to men they don’t know: there’s so often that request for a date after even the most innocuous small talk.

Well, according to the intelligent, professional women I know, it’s the presentation of the hit. If it’s aggressive, big NO. If it’s clever, and deprecating… maybe.

But the trailer park girls may say “Meet me at the truck.” No offense, those are the girls I chased in my youth. God bless 'em.

The women in my life also say that it depends a bit on where. For instance, most just don’t want to be hit on at the gym.

You’re right, that space is off limits, generally.

Yes I guess that’s true, and it doesn’t even help if he’d be chill about accepting a “no thanks,” because she can’t know that in advance, and so many guys aren’t. I guess there’s always the possibility of running into each other in a bar or similar situation where they could assume meeting someone might be a goal of being there. “Didn’t I meet you when we were both voting for Harris?” would be a change from the usual lines.
