Yep, any woman can ask a man out. Many women don't. That makes many women gold diggers who hide behind a "traditional role" of preferring to be asked out by a man who desires them. You must really have something against having to ask women out to come up with that type of resentment.

Because preferring to be approached first means you're a doormat who isn't entitled to rights as a human being, and obviously is one of those submissive, dumb types who's just someone's trophy. They never should've let us vote or work for our own money if we enjoy men asking us out! Lmao

4.Wears rings that could be a wedding ring.
5.Has a kid.
6.Types of food he buys.
7.Quiet.
8.Too goodlooking to possibly be single.
9.Dresses down (Has a woman no need to dress up)
10.Very awkward.

That is me to a tee and when i talk with woman or men at school that is the first question is are you married or have any kids.

I do not dress down and try to look my best.

Exactly!!

Getting involved in groups is a great way. For example, someone mentioned Meetup. Or a hobby group - some sort of art thing, or sports thing, or a project (some do-good thing). Going without motives or intentions is great because then you have zero pressure. You're just there to enjoy the thing, meet people, have fun.

The opposite is to be tortured by this idea that you MUST get someone ASAP, that you MUST get a date ASAP, that you MUST ask someone out ASAP, that someone MUST come on to you ASAP, and that notion that you shouldn't have to spend time getting to know people before you get a date, a lover, whatever. That's just kinda setting yourself up for suffering (I think). Slowing down and just joining things and getting to know people is the best way.

There is nothing old fashioned about your view point is still pretty much the status quo except most gals are not as indignant and deluded I hope.

This all of this. I have no issues approaching a gal, I have no issues with a gal approaching me, I do have issue with it being seen as my job with some lame "biology" explanation that is most their to convince themselves while trying to be scientific.

I'm not usually attracted to someone with out getting to know them a bit so hitting on complete strangers just isn't something that would occur to me. I did ask complete strangers for their phone numbers before - but that was back when I was a teenager and just having fun. I have asked men out before - but they usually beat me to the punch.

When I have approached men and told them that I like them, I always ended up feeling like the man and I didn't like that.

- I might come on too strong
- He might misinterpret my intentions or question my motives (other than to indicate that I like what I see and would like to talk over coffee or something to see if we might hit it off)
- He might think it is unfeminine of me to pursue or slutty; in other words he might be sexist or narrow minded
- He might be married or taken
- He finds me repulsive or unattractive
- We won't be compatible
- He will be an ass to me
- He will ignore me
- He will reject me for any other reason

Basically it's a fear of rejection and that I'm not worthy to simply "choose" a guy.
