As a man who might approach a woman in a social situation, would it behoove him to throw caution to the wind and scream out loud at her? That would seem to be the stance of those who are offended by a new Dos Equis ad which carries the headline, “Approach women like you do wild animals, With caution and a soothing voice.”
Writing in AdWeek/AdFreak (it’s kind of hard to tell the difference these days), David Gianatasio said the ad “not only offends women but adds an extra layer of insult by showing the world’s least interesting Great White Colonial Man swaggering around in the brush with a pair of tribesmen at his side.”
We beg to differ, David. A healthy dose of caution and soothing suavity is always advised when approaching women. After all, men certainly don’t want to risk getting their head bitten off, a suffering which, sadly, is perpetrated upon men by women far too often.
Better safe than sorry. Always good advice in our book when it comes to interacting with the opposite sex.
