What is this just approach stuff I keep reading here? Most women don't won't just any man approaching them. It's obvious from the threads we see here with guys talking about approaching women in various places.

True but they change their minds every 30 seconds so you would never be on firm ground. It's all about timing.

Men have to pursue because that is our cultural norm. It is simply what is expected.

You may not like it, but that does not change the fact that it is the way the world works.

So ask for a few numbers. Tell a few women that you would like to grab a drink with them. If you get turned down, move on, and ask the next woman. After you do this a bit, the sting of rejection becomes easier to deal with.

Sure, the first few times a woman says no it will bother you, but in the grand scheme of life, it is better to suffer a few minor rejections along the way so that you can ultimately find true love. Or at least great sex.

If you didn't bother to ask her out, then you probably deep down, in your gut really didn't want to. You'll know when you meet the one you want. Asking her to go out with you will almost be effortless.

Men pursue women...why fight against thousands of years of evolution?
The way I see it, men are supposed to have that hunt inside of them. If a man can't even get up the nerve to approach a woman he's attracted to, his head is just not in the game

LMAO, so easy to criticize from the comforts of your armchair, isn't it?

Both sexes should have skin in the game, from start to finish, not just the "other" one.

You don't have to. You can always choose to turn your man card in.

Because some other guy will pursue if he's interested. If all men stopped asking women out, women would adapt and ask out men more often. But since they don't currently have to, why would they? It's that simple.

Fact is you're probably not a very good looking guy. Many studs get by strictly on looks, and they usually have several women at their beck and call.
