you’ll end up meeting women

Do I want to?

I'm posing a broader question about society to clarify a general concern with no particular motivation, and you make it about meeting women. That suggests something about assumed motivations in these discussions.

Huh? This literally what the meme is about and you are having a discussion in it's comment section beneath?

The comic may be and so may the comment I was replying to. The question, however, isn't: people may have more on their minds than the pursuit of women, eg, the state of humanity.

Moreover, the comic is about multiple things. The man sees an invitation to meet women. The woman sees a warning.

It makes as much sense to ask about this discrepancy, messages, norms.
