Believe me, it's a good thing they are all living a bit too far from where I am now, we don't get together anywhere as much as before, but it wouldn't matter, even when they visit me and we're just hanging out at the beach, let some guy walk by that causes thier hormones to go into overdrive, you'll get whiplash trying to figure out where your friend/s ran off too when you turn back to hear their words fading from your ear. They are too funny.

People don't think that most men wouldn't want to just sit back and wait for women to approach us and take our pick?

Of course we would. But it doesn't work Like that for us lol

Check out the "Ladies, have you ever asked a man out?" thread. There are guys on there saying they get hit on all the time. I still say that's a lot more common than people would think. Maybe it's a regional thing, or it probably depends on the guy...?

It's probably really common if you're an attractive looking guy. If you're not attractive though, guy's stories of gettin' hit on seems like nothing more than a story they made up.

It doesn't work like that because of all the other guys going after the women that you would like to take your pick from. It isn't the women that are letting you down - it's the men that have no problem asking them out.

Still the exception and not the rule.

Your friends are part of the 0.00005 percent of women who do approach.

Believe me, I know that, I was just saying the ones I know are confident and unapologetic about their ways. Even so, often doesn't seem to matter, the ladies get torn down for being on either side of the spectrum, Some find fault by saying oh, it's usually the ugly ones that approach, not the ones your wish would approach. There's appears to always be something wrong with them if they do or don't. But these friends aren't desperate or IMO aesthetically unappealing in anyway, they just don't have a problem with approaching.

**Thought exercise**
Perhaps a push for the reverse cultural custom (I can't recall exactly which ancient civilization now of top of my head) in Herodotus' Day. All the single women would assemble in the temple and men would come by and select one single woman with which to 'have'.
The women had to sit there until chosen by some man.

Picture the reverse in todays world. All men have to assemble in a large facility and the women get to select which one they 'have' -... how long would some men have to wait and which women would pick which man?

I have been single and unattached for 30 years of my adult life and I never had a woman come up to me and ask me out.

I'm pretty sure I go out more often than most people do. I have also worked in high rise office buildings for most of the last 20+ years, 12+ of those years I was single.
