I'm a man but it's the same thing any women will tell you. We all like being approached by someone we find attractive. Not so much if we don't find them attractive. |
Absolutely that sums it up perfectly |
Women do not handle rejection well and like to use plausible deniability to protect their feelings and egos.
So you end up in situations where subtle, barely perceptible winks count as "I asked him out". Men should just accept that women are not wired to be risk seeking in the same way that men are and navigate accordingly. Women should as least give perceptible choosing signals to make it easier to navigate the current minefield. |
Yeah the latter seems good but seems unlikely at the same time especially so men don't risk violating anyone's boundaries or don't risk making women uncomfortable |
I have made the first move before and I found that in those relationships (or maybe just situationships?), the men just weren't as into me. I think that the dynamic where a woman is more into the man than he is into her is a recipe for disaster. For good relationships, a man needs to be really into the woman because men don't tend to invest in relationships as much as women naturally do. But a man will bend over backward to make a woman happy if he is really into her.
Obviously there are many happy relationships where the woman has made the first move and there is absolutely nothing wrong with doing so. But at some point I stopped making the first move and I'm glad I did. If a man didn't make the first move, I knew that a) he couldn't pick up on social cues b) he didn't feel capable of handling rejection or c) he just wasn't into me. |
Yeah some things will never change plenty of things in the world have changed over the years or centuries but this is one thing that never has changed really |
😂 The real gate keeper is here. How about everyone figure out what the word even means! |
+100 |
A great question for the young claiming feminism...they don't even know what it means. It's not their fault their all force fed propaganda. |
NP - Because most women won’t. Maybe it’s part of the reason they can’t break through the glass ceiling. If you want something you have to go for it and not wait for it to be handed to you. |
Because we women are awesome |
This is true. I have never been approached by a woman. And frankly if I were my penis would be thinking as opposed to my head. And also it's just weird when a woman doesn't tells.you she likes you. |
Spot on. Men are biologically driven by the ‘chase’. If a woman approaches them, it’s an easy win but doesn’t satisfy them the same way. I honestly wish it weren’t this way. I’d prefer to approach men, but the pp is right. While there are successful relationships that start this way, more often than not it ends up being mostly about sex and short lived. |
Yeah can't speak for every man |
Yeah I don't see this ever changing |
