Why can’t she say no? (dates, how to, girl, family)

Very interesting point. Thanks. Yes, she is attractive. He saw her, approached her, offered a date, she agreed. I asked, 'Why?' She said like, 'I was a bit scared to say no as he was big and decisive'. He was not persistent in that day.

Saying "all women" like any one thing is as misinformed as "all men" like something

I don't need either his or your acceptance of that "sorry". Anyway, don't you think it was him who was rude first? I only answered back at his assault.

Thats the tread followed by every woman to show that they are women.

Could you provide any details relating to this aspect? How do you tell a positive way from a psycho one?

Small talk? His voice, looks, appearance, clothes? If it is fine you can date him.

Persistence is terrorizing?

I just can’t comprehend this. How can anyone agree to date someone if she doesn't like him or unsure about him? What the hell? Are there many coward women who agree to date just because they are afraid to say no?

Why do women so amenable to persistence and even impudence of a man? The more persistent and impudent he is the more likely she says yes.

It really makes me wonder if humble men should be more impudent and insolent to make women say yes more often.

I assume you are guy and probably in the friend zone? You wouldn't understand.

Confidence and charm are intangibles that women are attracted to. Something made this woman wonder what was going on with this guy, so she decided to go on a date with him.

Egh she already gave you the answer to how can anyone agree to date someone if she doesn't like him. That answer being fear. She was afraid to say no to him because he looked menacing, he was big, and he was persistent. Seems she was scared to upset a big guy who looked scary with a rejection that could have him attacking her.
'He was that persistent and looked menacing I could not say no, I was afraid to say no'.
'I was a bit scared to say no as he was big and decisive'

In my opinion fear tends to have people doing a lot of things they wouldn't normally agree to.

I've known gals to give out their email or phone number just to appease a guy due to fear which I can grasp considering the physical/sexual violence statistics and how guys are generally bigger and stronger than gals.

Bit odd to me that you seemingly wonder about using fear as a way to make gals say yes more often. In my opinion the world is hostile enough towards gals there's no reason I see to increase it just so guys can get more dates.
