it's a pretty toxic thing to flirt with someone while they're "trapped" in your car. Especially if the passenger thinks they have to be polite because of certain power dynamics.

of course people should be allowed to flirt with each other but from what I've heard from female friends - do it in a bar or public, leisurely places. Not inside of an Uber etc.'

And especially if the passenger also doesn't show any special interest.

YMMV I guess. And it's a touchy topic anyways, I know more guys than I expected who just don't think that cat-calling and "no is not an answer"-flirting is pretty messed up, most of the times. And proceed to call me a white-knight snowflake when I explain my viewpoint.

What a patronizing attitude towards women - they are helpless perpetual children who lack the agency or emotional resillience to handle a driver who tells them they look nice and asks them out. I'll be sorely disappointed in myself if my daughter is triggered by a guy in an Uber flirting with her.
