That's one problem i see with many guys- they get intimidated by a woman's apparent cool. Women like a lot of attention- take if for a fact, or continue to be in denial. You can't continue to be timid and expect someone to fall in your lap. You gotta polish your hunter skills.
This is wrong on so many levels.

No means no. When someone thinks it doesn't mean no, it either means it is a creepy stalker dude or a high-maintenance, pain-in-the-butt, attention-ho woman.

I agree, a woman can make it known either way if she's into the guy.... she can be a bit flirty and/or elusive but give enough of a sign that she still likes you.

I never chased women much, for one, I never had to and two, it just wasn't my style.....I'm not some little lap dog waiting for scraps... LOL, you are interested in me... let me know fairly quickly, otherwise I'm gone... gone as they get.

That's essentially how I feel.

To me, it reeks of complete desperation chasing after a woman that has told you no several times. Not to mention, I like being single and having my independence, so I'm not going to chase after a woman when she's shown disinterest from the start.

I just want to point out that says nothing about compatibility (those are mere surface details) and anyone who thinks it does is probably an amateur at relationships.

The average guy, who is probably a 5 in a scale of 10....women would probably give him a 3 or a 4.
This is the obvious truth... funny to see so many here deny it. Studies have shown that women will rate the vast majority of guys as below average attractiveness.

This may be true and it may not be. I don't know, nor do I care. All I care about is one woman I have in my life who does consider me attractive. I don't need validation from any other women. I don't care if they don't rate me high on a scale of 1-10. I have the one I care about and I'm cared about by one. Good enough for me.

Does that mean you disregard or devalue it if another woman admittedly found you attractive?

No, of course not. It always feels good to be noticed and/or appreciated. What I mean is if nobody did notice me it wouldn't bother me. I can and will only have one wife and that's all I need.

And of course that's the way it should be - someone for everyone. This is the arrangement, bolstered by religion and custom, which built the modern world. Women in the 1700s in England might have found the dashing cads of that day attractive, but they weren't allowed to sleep around with them. They had to wait for a serious offer of marriage from an average man who was working hard to prove himself worthy. 18th century nerds started the industrial revolution because they knew their hard work would pay off in helping them land a good woman and raise a family. What reason do 21st century nerds have to work hard when every desirable woman they know is already sleeping around with the dashing cads?

That's taking the good ol days trope to the extreme.
