Delta Airlines and Coca-Cola had to apologize after passengers called their in-flight napkins "creepy" for encouraging romantic advances their flights. #delta #coke #masculinity

Delta Airlines and Coca-Cola, as part of a Diet Coke marketing campaign, distributed napkins for their passengers with messages like "because you're on a plane full of interesting people and hey... you never know".

These napkins feature a message that encourages people to give their name and phone number to a fellow passenger they have a "crush" on. On the back, there are two blank lines to be filled in with a name and number. Fine print on the side of the napkin encourages the reader to, "Be a little old school. Write down your number & give it to your plane crush. You never know…"

Needless to say that there was an insane backlash about it on the internet.

Although I'm not interested in talking about this backlash, I wanted to tackle this from a masculine perspective.

Why handling these napkins is definitely a bad way to approach your "plance crush" and what can men learn from this whole experience the next time they approach a girl in order to not be creepy.
