Correct.

Which was my point, that no, we do not sit there and do nothing and stare blankly while men fall into our laps.

Or, to be less hyperbolic, that we never initiate in any way, never strike up a conversation, don't have to "try" and so on.

Don't like women approaching me. It would make me think how if she approached me, how many other guys does she approach or if we argue how easy it will be for her to go talk to random guys. Just being honest.

What's wrong with her approaching random guys? What does it matter how many she approached before she found one who responded positively (you)? Are you saying women should reject you because of the other women you approached earlier?

I almost never approach a woman who hasn't given me 'the look'.

You can argue that women make the first move a vast majority of the time.

Right....now a woman doesn't even have to sleep with you to be a suspected sl*t - she just has to talk with you! You are good - you beat them to the punch! ....very smart.

lol they don't have to. I had a few women who asked me for my number, BOLDLY. And I had women who introduced themselves to me but "allowed me" to seal the deal.

What the hell? You think the genders should be separated into different conversation groups, never to overlap?

I talk to whoever I want. I like to get to know people. Male and female. What you call "approaching" I call getting to know new people, and if it is an attractive guy, all the better.

But like I have said before, I have to TALK TO YOU before I know if I want to date you.

If I waited for a woman to give me "the look", I'd likely be waiting forever, lol.

When I want to, I simply approach, and hope for the best.

It's what you have to do sometimes. One of the last and only times I was approached by a woman, it was in a mall and she was pregnant. And by pregnant, I mean like 7 or 8 months pregnant. She was cute, she was just pregnant with someone else's child. We even talked for a few minutes and she even told me she had a boyfriend, but that it was not the father of the child.
