Could be that a guy is simply not interested in a woman regardless of her being part of the very few who do take initiative to ask a guy out, take him out, and so on. It works both ways. The cute handsome financially stable man after a woman who is interested in him won’t think at all that he’s a creep. But have an unattractive guy who’s not financially stable go after a girl who’s not interested in him and he will be considered a creep, stalker, weirdo, pervert, etc.

When both parties are interested in each other, it’s all good.

When I leave my girl’s place late she always calls me minutes later to make sure I made it home fine. Sure, not common for women to look out for a guy but it always makes my heart smile that she does. Hey, I am no SuperMan just because I am a guy.

Correct.

God blessed you women with a really simple agenda.

Look hot. The end.

Hit the gym. Do a few thousand lunges. Eat a salad. Then do it again.

Grow your hair long and beautiful. Have the nicest face you can. Don't rule out some minor plastic surgery to look like Megan Fox to the greatest extent possible.

And then you will own the friggin world of shallow men and dating will be your playground.

Of course eventually you age. Men then move on to the new crop of 25 yr olds. Sorry about that part.

I'm just going by experience. Most of my friends are male and they let 'hot chicks' get away with sooooo much more than average ones. If an average woman did ANY of the stuff these girls do to my guy friends they would have kicked them to the curb ages ago. Calling 10 times a day? Moving in without asking, with their 2 children from previous relationships? Waiting outside their workplace to 'make sure' they're telling the truth when they say they're working late? Following them around secretly making sure they aren't talking to any other girls?

These are all things girls have done with my guy friends and have gotten away with it because they were attractive. One of those guy friends told me I should have taken the money I spent getting my engineering degree and spent it on plastic surgery...that I'd probably be farther ahead in life if I had.

I know not all guys are like that, and I absolutely can't wait to get out of my 20s, move to a new city and leave these people behind. Until then, that's the stuff I have to deal with.

I'd read in this thread some people would send a thank you text. That makes me wonder if people would make a thank you call. I've never done either when it comes to dating a women. It would just seem strange to me. I wouldn't really care if a women did it to me after a dat either. I'd much rather have whatever was going to be said done in person at the end of date. Anything beyond that I might feel inclined to unnecessary, but if we got along well or I liked the women it wouldn't matter anyway. Coming on strong is a few notches above just thanks and other **** like that.

Incidentally, I've done the whole thanks lots of times (probably all the time) when it comes to going out with new friends (female or male). Don't need to bother when it comes to the long time peeps though. They know the deal!

The sex must be really good. I personally think great sex even more than great attraction is probably why so many people put up with a lot of non-sense. of course there are other issues wrapped up in that as well.

I find women who approach extremely attractive, and I get apporached quite a bit. It shows that they are confident and willing to show it. Ive noticed it happening more and more over the years. Doesnt mean I just sit back and wait for women to come to me, I still very much enjoy the chase and flirting with women I find attractive.

Just saying I don't know how anyone cares enough to put up with this back and forth garbage and games.

Women that come on too strong are to be avoided...They never have your best interests in mind- just their own selfish needs to be fulfilled...They remind me of men that are bores and pigish.
