how is that supposed to work. sometime you even do that to the man and he gives you an ugly look or turns away like he didnt see you. i had it happen to me it's a waste of time. if they are interested in woman they should approach them directly then

I'm sorry it's tough approaching women, but it isn't life or death. Say hello I'm such and such, great to meet you. If she blows you off then move along, who cares? Maybe I'm not supposed to say this, but I don't like guys who lack confidence. I don't like guys who are arrogant jerks, but a little self esteem goes a long way.

cpg is totally right. Most women like don't being worshipped. Just treat us normally. Be sweet but have a back bone. I've dated guys who seemed afraid to disagree me...just be normal. If I'm okay with a guy approaching me I make eye contact and smile. Even if a guy I'm not interested in approaches me I'll be polite. If a woman is awful to you because you approach her you should just be glad you dodged that bullet. Decent women are not rude to guys who approach them.

That is people are totally self centered, have very little empathy and have little interest in looking at things from anyone's point of view but their own. If some woman whines to you about this, just tell them, "the guy probably wasn't interested in you."

Meh, not really. If you want get the attention and respect of a good looking women in any given situation around here, you need to be on your sh*t. The "hi, my name is ____" might work at a Cougar convention where nobody knows what texting is or at a fat girl BBQ, but not with a girl who gets hit on at every turn.

Shouldnt these women be a little more sympathetic to men who fele this way since they fele the same way themslves?


Why is it ok for a women to be insecure or afraid to approach but a man can never be insecure? I feel like sometimes men are expcected to be emotionless robots who are never effected by anything..
The system has worked thousands of years, why change now.

Women want to be wanted, taken savagely. No one dreams of submitting to the weak.

If a guy is too shy to say hello to me, I immediately wonder what else he's going to be too shy to do to me...

Many women i think prefer a man who takes charge and can carry good opening conversation. I am being a hypocrite here as my terrific GF asked me out.

Oh please

Many women want to be taken seriously, we want to be an equal partner. We don't want this pre-modern garbage you are espousing sorry.
