What I'm attracted to doesn't matter?

I apologize. Looks are a thing I'm extremely sensitive about, especially after a bad week at work. My boss is going to break my head once she gets back tomorrow. I'm very scared, my livelihood is in danger. First job ever, and I'm doing all I can to impress the boss in terms of work performance. But it just does not seem to be enough.

There are girls who will make the first move, but I would imagine they are very rare.. in fact most girls I have been with have given away extremely strong signals of attraction, but fallen short at the approaching me part, at which point it is easy to tell that they are interested, you literally just have to initiate a conversation and you are there.
I totally agree. Women are hard-wired to be pursued. They will not pursue you.

^Unlikely, unless she wants to go to jail.

Why would your boss break your head?

I think women in general are more likely to find guys attractive on the basis of their personality. They're drawn to confidence and assertiveness.

My opinion of a person can certainly influence my perception of their attractiveness. But there's no way an otherwise unattractive guy could ever get me interested by having a great personality. But women may be wired differently.

I don't buy into this 'hardwired to do this or that' argument. Humans are not like other animals - we have more free will, and if a woman wants to pursue a man, nothing is stopping her form doing that. She has the capability to do what she wants, she's not some stupid animal. Most of them are either too lazy, or fear what society will think of them (i.e a woman pursuing a man must be desperate).

Expecting men to do all the chasing, and then women complaining about men not picking up the signals, and then men complaining there are no women for them, and women complaining there are no guys to date.. it all sounds really stupid, doesn't it?

Thank you! Some men just have absolutely no self respect for themselves or any woman.

I treat a woman like a man i.e equal. I don't go on like a raging lunatic obsessed about sex, like i've said before I prefer a long term partner. I'm not obsessed with sex with anyone and I will not go out of my way looking for sex.

There's more to life than sex. I think some of the things being said are revolting i.e chasing woman? What the hell are you? A pedo?

Anyway i've said my piece.

And... I'm out..

Although I do believe in free will (I reject determinism), I think a large part of our psychology is due to innate tendencies. I really don't see how this can be argued otherwise. Men & women differ in a psychological sense and we're built differently. We have different urges, and it can be hard not to follow your natural urges. Using free will, you can override some of these tendencies, but not everyone exercises free will to the same extent.
