All the men that are whining about this - your beef should be with all the other men that LIKE and PREFER to pursue women rather than with the women that GET pursued by men.

My "beef" is with the women who think it's the mans job to pursue them, the attitude seems to be basicly that it's a one way street.

Also, I see more women saying that men like to pursue than I see actual men saying they like it. I think for the most part men don't like pursuing and chasing THAT much, but they do it because they have to. Offcourse there are those who do actually enjoy it. But I don't think thats true for the majority of men.

That's because the men that like to pursue aren't here complaining about it.

I assure you - the men that hit on me in front of my mother, in front of my father, when they passed me in a parking garage, when I was working, etc. - did NOT hit on me because they felt they had to. Many men simply go after what they want. There's nothing wrong with not being cut from the same cloth as them but, for the love of Pete, stop blaming women. It doesn't get you anywhere. Fine, you don't feel like taking the initiative - some women are okay with that. But I don't know any women that like men with a victim mentality or men that put all the blame on women.

In what way am I blaming women? And where did I say I don't feel like taking the initiative?(I do occasionally)

I simply said I don't like it when women say it's the mans "job" to pursue.

Why not? Some women feel that way. Some men feel like it's their job to pursue, too.

Sure. I'd go as far as to say most women feel that way. Relationships are a one way street.

Is it the woman's job to cook, clean, and watch the kids?

Anyone who has been in a relationship knows that relationships are not one way streets. When you say things like that - it just kind of makes me think that you've never been in a relationship.

Some women do feel that way. Do you have a problem with that?
