I’m chuckling that your takeaway from my experience is “women need to be more sexually aggressive.”
I think there’s a lot of room between “he’s being sexually aggressive” and “he’s being totally passive.” Mason from this story was great at it, other than the egregious song choice.
And words like “friend zone” already feel creepy, at least to me. Women are allowed not to be into you, or to seek friendship from you. Proceed with caution, sublimus. I’d already block to burn you on a dating app if you used this language with me.
