Why is it considered unethical to try to make a move on a girl

Its not unethical.

Its just dumb because you're actually positioning yourself as a rebound.

Its not unethical, it's just common sense

If you pursue a relationship with somebody fresh out of a breakup, you're going to have to deal with all that drama and baggage

You already mentioned it yourself, taking advantage. No she's not drugged, but she's in a vulnerable emotional state and most people already have a hard time not rebounding without anyone offering spontaneously. Basically you are presenting yourself as an intimate presence in her life when likely, the thing she needs and wants most in the world is a shoulder to cry on. That makes it significantly harder to reject that offering of affection and company.
And it makes it a lot harder to distinguish between appreciating the consolation and attention and genuinely liking that person, which is why rebound relationships have such a bad reputation.

But I kind of agree with the other anon, it's known as a stupid move and perhaps kind of scummy in a specific scenario, but I've never really heard it being talked about as generally unethical. It's just messy, basically.

But is rebounding damaging for the person who recently broke up? I mean I don't get what's so bad about rebounding, for that person.

they see you as a replacement bf and not your own person
when you can't live up to those standards they'll freak the fuck out
