How do you feel when a male says “feel free to say no” before asking you a question?

  2. I assume it’s going to be a sex question so I feel pity and disappointment in how obvious they are

  3. Sort of a sinking feeling in my stomach. People usually say this before they ask me to do something they know I won’t like.

  4. Annoyed, because i obviously know i can say no. If it’s a sex question i’ll even add an insult with the no

  7. Usually when people say that to me, male or female, my response is to interrupt and say ‘no and don’t even bother asking.’ People usually preface stuff like that if it’s an inappropriate question or unreasonable favor.

  10. I laugh because we all know what sort of questions it’s going to be and also it’s laughable that they feel the need to let us know that we can say no to such a question; that they’re giving us permission to refuse to answer. 🤣

    Makes me laugh harder remembering the guy who said this and then was immediately pissed off when I said no to answering the question 😆 “but bro, you gave me permission to say no to answering it! 😆😆

  11. Was that supposed to be a cue for sexual questions? I would take it as I would any other question because I am going from my experience where my anxiety makes me ask that beforehand sometimes (like for example, “feel free to say no, but could you give me a ride home from work? My car broke down”.)

  12. I feel nothing, because I say “no” before he asks the question. If anyone (not just male) starts a sentence off with that, they already know they’re about to ask you something you’re not gonna be ok with. Save both yourselves the time, just say no.

  13. Annoyed. If they feel the need to tell me it’s okay to say no, they’re probably asking something they know they shouldn’t be asking in the first place.
