waynebrady Posted November 3, 2010 Posted November 3, 2010 I think all you have to do here is drop the 'n' at the end of your second sentence and you'll have a true statement. But just because they don't take the initiative with you, doesn't mean they don't do it. Nope, women don't take any sort of initiative with men at all ever, not just me. Women are passive at all times when it comes to men.
AverageJoe Posted November 4, 2010 Posted November 4, 2010 Nope, women don't take any sort of initiative with men at all ever, not just me. Women are passive at all times when it comes to men. I dont completely agree with this, although there is a lot of truth to it. Most of the time it is true generally speaking. They just dont initiate. However, that is not to say it does not ever happen. I have had it happen and I thought it was pretty cool, and they themselves were pretty cool too.
just_some_guy Posted November 4, 2010 Posted November 4, 2010 Depends on how old you are. When I was young, not so much. In middle-age, all the time. I don't think I'm super hot or anything. But for a guy, I have aged well, not gotten too fat, have myself more together than ever in my life. Besides, some grey hair and a few wrinkles actually look good on men. Middle-age women are far more likely to approach, I suspect for a lot of reasons. One is the numbers are different. There are fewer single men available. Many of the single men are trying to recapture their youth by pursuing women half their age. The women are also more secure, out of their first or second marriages, less worried about having kids and raising families. They are also worried about being alone as they get older. So they are more aggressive.
skydiveaddict Posted November 4, 2010 Posted November 4, 2010 (edited) :DI was just wondering if other guys have been approached by other females. Of course, I realize that most men have to do the approaching but have you ever had just a female walk up to you randomly and take the intuitive? If so, did you feel awkward with her doing that, or you thought it was pretty cool? For me, I rarely get approached by women. Often times, they will give lots of hints which sometimes doesn't turn out correctly. I either don't realize that there giving out hints and then sometimes when I do, they end rejecting me lol. I hear on the forums that more and more females are taking the initiative which is interesting but it hardly ever happens to me. I was approached by a female once, but it was in a foreign country and she was pointing a gun at me:D Edited November 4, 2010 by skydiveaddict

Woggle Posted November 4, 2010 Posted November 4, 2010 Yes and it has happened more since I got married.
counterman Posted November 4, 2010 Posted November 4, 2010 I have had a few subtle approaches. After some of them, I kicked myself afterwards for not seeing what it was. The last one I had was when I sitting down with a group of friends just chatting and this girl just walks up and asks some random question... I answered her, she lingered and then just went off. Oh well. From what I have heard in my environment, most girls would never approach guys. I guess some are more scared of rejection.
D-Jam Posted November 4, 2010 Posted November 4, 2010 I've unfortunately been approached by women I really wasn't interested in...but this happened long ago when I started college. I feel for them too, because I know it takes a lot of guts to take a chance. Hence why I praise any and all women who take those chances. Nowadays, the only times I've been "approached" is more or less just women giving me attention and thus making me see that I have an opening to ask them out. Not a bad thing either.
musemaj11 Posted November 4, 2010 Posted November 4, 2010 Rejection hurts bad and it takes balls to approach someone. So I understand when women say that they are afraid to approach because they cant stand rejection. At least they are being honest. However, what irritates me the most are women who wont admit that they dont have the guts and pull out the gender bullcrap card, "I dont do this or that because Im a woman and its a man's job to do this or that."

LOL true. That's is Old Generation talk. Back then a "man's job" was to bring home the money to support the family while the woman cooked, cleaned and took care of the kids. That's different today, so it should be totally fine and expected of a women to approach a guy. I still approach women and have never been approached by a girl.
Pyro Posted November 4, 2010 Posted November 4, 2010 I was overly shy and still am to a degree and looking back I would say that a majority of the time women approached me....whether I was interested in them or not. This past Sunday one came up to me and she walked away after I told her what I do for a living and what I go to school for. Didn't even get a chance to mention I am engaged.
Buglemn Posted November 5, 2010 Posted November 5, 2010 I don't get approached all of the time, but yeah they do. I think they are most attracted to my wedding ring. LOL I'm always nice, blush and tell them how flattered I am. Seems like its mostly younger women. Or maybe I'm just old, don't know. I think it has a lot to do with your own self esteem and how you carry yourself. Confidence.
Nemicron Posted November 5, 2010 Posted November 5, 2010 I find that sexy when a girl has the guts to come to me and ask me for my number instead of the other way around. I guess it goes a long way with me.
