Did anyone already mention that there is a strong idea in society that men want to do the chasing and are prone to reject any women who is the first to show interest. I believe there is a lot of truth to the old adage of men having some innate urge to resist "being caught". Anyone disagree with this?

Both genders have a hard time; sometimes the reason is something simple, like overcoming shyness. Often though, it seems to be a matter of not being the type who stands out in a crowd. Those people have to work harder to mingle , get involved in groups and get to know as many people as possible, hoping to someday find a match.
I'm just going by what they say. Most of the women I've interacted with on here, anyway, always seem to give off the perception that they have a line of men waiting outside the door for them.

I personally don't agree with it. If a girl who I was attracted to showed interest in me, she'd probably have me pretty quickly.

Seems to be the common theme with women.

Lafleur, have you noticed all the threads by women saying they just got dumped or cheated on? Your theory is based on selective observation, come on.

This. And he doesn't seem to notice posters like Aurelia, who says she doesn't attract attention, in spite of being attractive, or the plain janes who post occasionally.

I think Aurelia is a bad example because she's posted that she does get attention from men, just not the kind of men she's interested in.

I have read a few women who do not attract male attention. It is no where near the amount of men.

It really is somewhat like not getting attention. It was very heartbreaking getting attention from the men online I seemed to attract: older than my dad, severely obese, men who could be Frankenstein's brother, etc. Personally, I'd rather not get any attention than by these men because either way self esteem is affected. Many if not most other women feel the same and it is even worse because often it means rejecting them and even cruelty at times to get the point. I'm willing to be the men who claim they never get attention get attention, just not by the women they want.
