Exactly.

I volunteer at a VA hospital. I told the older veterans, "You look very handsome Mr. so and so." or "you still got it. If I am your age, I'd ask you out." It makes them very happy. Sometimes, a compliment is just a compliment. I'd say this though, If I were a man, I would not have made such comments if the older veterans were women.

Only a fool, or a very insecure person, or a person who has never been hitted on by somebody, or a person who is fishing for complimoent would believe, "Lily, you look nice today" = I want to be in bed with you. lol

I don't touch or look (as in face-to-face conversation) at anyone anymore. Nor do I take conversation to more than a casual, factual level--NEVER personal. It's not worth the risk. I'm waiting for the Japanese to develop robotics and AI to a more convincing level. I'll be the first customer.

I personally don't know any men who cannot control themselves.


To what extent? Can I think about it? Can I mumble to myself? Can I whistle? Can I say you look hot today? How about just saying good morning, in an exaggerated way, while looking at your enormous cleavage?

How did you get asked out on a date? If he controlled his desires to bath in your essence?

You can do all the above.

In my opinion, the best approach is to simply introducing yourself, if the woman is a total stranger.

"You are very pretty, my name is Jason, I am wondering if I can take you out sometimes." That will do.

I've dated a Marine who whistled at me. He turned out to be one of the most genuine, giving, kind, loyal man I've ever met. I am not ashamed to admit, "He had me at hello" Of course, he is super hot, that helps a lot

Yep. Sadly, the "era of warmth" (and I'm NOT talking about jumping into bed warmth) is gone. People nowadays are as cold as ice. I can at least be thankful that my younger years were spent during a time that I could be attracted to a woman and actually give her indication that I was in any one of my silly little ways at the time, and if she were interested in me the same way, she would return those indications (not call a lawyer). And that if she were not interested in me, we would simply move on. Believe it or not folks, if someone gives you a hint that they are attracted to you, it is not a demand that you go to bed with them. At least it never was with me. I've been married twice. I've "been in bed" with exactly two women--those two. Point being (at least for me and MANY men out there) that initial attraction is not an attempt at rape or an attempt to demean or enslave you.

When a man is successful, he has earned himself respect and a woman, who expects or doesn't expect luxuries from her man (Coz most 21st century women are able to afford their own luxuries), it feels amazing to be with a person who is able to achieve his own goals.

This doesn't mean that only successful men deserve the respect.

Why would anyone prefer someone successful, because they are good at what they do. 95% of it isn't that they are successful though, it is that they are driven towards a goal and won't stop until they are successful.

For example, I am financially successful enough to take care of myself. I still prefer a guy who has his own career goal and is driven enough to accomplish that goal. How much he makes is irrelevant. As long as he is comfortable with his income level, and is moving toward his career goal, I consider him a successful man.
Not true in all cases depending on how he got there. If he steps on people and do dirty dealing on his way to the top, not everyone is going to respect that no matter how successful he is. Trump is a good example of that.

Yes I agree.

How romantic, perhaps with a better mindset on your wife, women and romance your bow wouldn’t be bent
