Isn't it Natural for a Man to Pursue? (family, social, feelings)

Very true, as a man I tend to agree with this.

It probably is natural. It's pretty typical in the animal world, we're animals too, just don't have four legs.

I was never a big woman chaser, a little, but I wasn't the guy to pant after a woman, wasn't really my style.

You liked ladies going after you.

LOL, sorta, I did chase some. I've just seen a lot of guys panting and jumping through hoops and half the time it looked silly to me, I figured if a woman is into me why play games????

Yes -- if he really, really wants her.

I relentlessly pursued only one woman in my life, and was certain I would marry her. (I never before, and have not since, spent so much on huge bouquets of roses, gifts, etc. And yes, she was worth it.) Unfortunately, the relationship she was exiting was temporarily resurrected after she suffered a financial tragedy, so I withdrew, figuring I'd just wait and revisit things after some years passed. When I went to look her up one day, I found her obituary.

But I digress, and to answer your question, Yes, we are born to chase but we must be hungry or we won't expend the energy.

A married man shouldn't have to "chase" his wife.

I feel bad for that guy.

Married men should always pursue their wives to some degree. Just like wives should always adore and respect their husbands.

That's alot of the reason why women become emotionally unsatisfied.

God, I hope you stay single and learn this before you marry.

He's married sweethart. Man, I can see why your marriage is on the rocks. And it isn't your husband's fault.

I had lots of dates in my youth, but I really didn't chase all that much. I didn't have to. I've had women go after me and ask me out. I'd ask someone out on a date, but I didn't do a whole lot of extra chasing before I'd ask them out.

At least one of you ladies gets it. Not a mystery why Ms. Mathlete is happily married. She seems to understand men.
