I already stated on the other thread, I've been reading here for quite a while, but got up the nerve to register today....
Why do you ask some variation of the same question over, and over again?
The bottom line is, if you don't ever get approached, or don't get approached very often, approaching the men you're interested in is your only option if you want to date.
So, at the end of the day, it doesn't really matter what men think of women approaching, as it's the only chance you've got.

You haven't read every thread I get approached a few times. And I was set up on many dates which isn't my only option.
For a long time reader you sure do throw out assumptions.
Times have changed,and women do ask men out. And they plan dates.(Oh the horror.)
What I want to know what was your reactions to a woman asking a man out? Were you turned off? Scared? Flattered? Enjoyed it?
I love it (or would, it's only happened once). But I can say with 100% certainty that I would be flattered every single time. In fact, I'd say yes, every single time. The gusto alone is enough to pique my interest for at least a date.
No matter what, I like to make the first move, even if it is being hinted at. Years ago I met a girl at a party. She was cute, smart, successful. I gave her my number for work reasons and told her to call me. She replied "you're the boy, you call me". I really liked that. Not only did it make clear that she was interested in me beyond a work relationship, but it made me feel like a man.
Different strokes, and the wonderful things that make us all different (and I don't mean that to sound rude....I really do find it both wonderful and interesting that people can have such different preferences). I would have thrown her number out immediately for that same line. (unless I was really hard up, because hey...a brother's gotta eat)

It helped in my past, by me asking a guy out I had a date to the prom, parties, weddings, dates and relationships.
I do think in some sense it's easier for a lady to ask a man out. Men take some heat on being a perve, creeper, intrusive.

I agree. When a woman asks a man out, she doesn't have a lot to lose. If it doesn't work out, she can continue to wait for the man to make the first move. Men have to risk rejection all the time and I can see them getting discouraged. Women can kind of try it out and get away with not doing it again.
I have seen many guys on this forum express that they wished women would ask men out more often. Like AverageGuy, and Hivemind in this thread. In my experience, men are generally impressed when women pursue them. In my past relationships I have happened to take the role as the aggressor and it has always worked out for me I will say I was pretty nervous doing it and feared rejection, like a lot of guys must feel!
Because their self worth is based on how hot the women are who are attracted to them. if an ugly, fat chick hits on them, that's a direct insult to them.
Sigh............you've had your pix up, JJ,and you're far from fat and ugly.
