4.. They don't have the time. (Note: This is a RARITY. If a guy likes a girl, he will MAKE time.)[/quote]


I wonder about this........could a man like a woman and yet be afraid of rejection? How do you tell or is just best to be straight up and ask?

Why buy the cow, when you can get the milk for free? Unfortunately in this loose society, too many women are willing to "give it up".

amazing 90 pages long. marriage down 50% most dont have a clue why.
when the sheep get scared they huddle. the wolves think they are being unfriendly and standoffish.
42 million divorces since 1975.
and if i say why--- the hate mail begins.
btw if you dare to say why on this forum, never post a photo about yourself or family.

But if it's the other way around(which it usually is anyway) then I assume you don't have a problem with it? It's ok for a woman to be afraid of rejection and never taking any iniatives but not for men right?

I noticed this pattern as well, Huck. Along with two nasty reps I received. People ask questions and when honest answers are given people could care less. Oh well, I am done.

I don't think you are that old fashioned. You are just being a typical woman, You want the man to take all the iniatives and do all the work and basicly shower you with love and affection without giving anything back.

I often find women who take all the initiatives, in terms of affection, to be to pushy for my tastes. With that being said, I have no problem with a woman who at least lets her interest be known, but in the instances when I turned down women ,who took all the initiatives, they spread false rumors about me or they tried to shame me for not liking them.

Men aren't allowed to be scared of rejection, because if we are then we are cowards. But for a woman it's ok though.

You always hear women going on about equal rights and stuff like that but when it comes to this matter then they are saying it's because it's been this way for hundreds of years, men are the pursuers and etc etc.

Really alot of women are just selfish, they want to be treated special and be pursued but they wouldn't bother to treat the man special or make the man feel loved.

Well according to most women the answer is Yes, I would think.

I have come to realise over the last few days that as a man you just have to accept it and get on with it. Unless you are extremely rich or good looking you will have to do the pursuing... I will from now on read the game and not let it bother me that I have to do all the work and initiate every contact, I'm gonna learn myself to like it basicly.

You are 16 years old and don't even date how in the Moderator cut: snip would you even have the slightest clue about the intimate and personal relationship between a man and a woman and when I say 'intimate' I'm not even referring to sex. How would you even know what 'women' do and there we go again with the sweeping generalizations.

You are putting too much emphasis on money and looks. There are broke men who resemble LIL Wayne who are almost repopulating the planet.
