Exactly! Typical CD logic.

I've had issues with self confidence and awkwardness in social situations most of my life (25 yo) and generally not putting myself out there and in situations where I get to know women and women get to know me, and I'm pretty average looking.

I'm still pretty sure at least a few girls in college have shown interest in me. Like smiling and talking to me without me doing the same to them first. I didn't reciprocate most of the time, because I had my eyes on different girls but didn't have the confidence to make a move with them. Generally it didn't go beyond being friendly towards me but there was one girl that offered going to a nightclub which is not necessarily a date since that's not really a 1 on 1 activity but pretty damn close.

So if we're just talking about women approaching men, as opposed to blatantly flirting or asking them out, I would say that they do. Of course not all of them, and certainly not all of them towards you, and how many would depend on how much of a reason you give them for being interested.

Hmmm...

Men are the more...ahem... "assertive" groups and not all men approach women. So of course not all women would approach men.

And I don't recall anyone saying that all women approach. Now I do recall at least one post that said that the majority of women approach... ok.

But I could go all day on CD logic...

I can relate. I'm not the most confident person in the world. I am also increasingly withdrawn lately(dealing with some personal issues right now).

"Not all men approach women" That part of your comment struck me because I'm that type of guy who barely approaches women.

If you are going to beat around the bush there is no point in discussing this, I know what was said in this thread and I won't sugar coat it like some of you.

So don't discuss it then. No need to get mad at me. If your love life sucks, that ain't my fault. I'm just here to have a fun conversation, that's it. But oh, right. This approach crap is so life and death

Let's try this: Guys, if you want something, GO GET IT!!! Don't sit around waiting for that one thing you want to just pop up on your lap.

The same goes for women.

One common reason so many people wind up living bitter and unfulfilled lives is because they just sit around with their thumbs in their mouths whining like-----s because that one woman, job, what have you didn't just spontaneously appear on their laps

If you want something and you're too lazy, spineless to go for it, then frankly, you don't deserve it. So no need to be bitter if you don't get it.

Life 101. If you want something, go get it.

Here it is. Point blank. No bush. I never voted for George, anyway.

Either put up, or shut up.

I like traditional gender roles so wouldn't approach men.
