In the old days we called that "swinging for the fence". But you had to do it in person or over the phone.

This guy did it by text. I think it's a lot easier for a guy to do it by text than it used to be...........

And thankfully it's a lot easier for women to shut them down than it used to be.

Sorry, but as I mentioned elsewhere, when you're hot, you're hot. When you're not, you're not. Join the club.

But hey, be the C-D board police.

You haven’t addressed the link in the OP at all. You keep whining & saying women are offended by a guy approaching them. If you had read the OP, you would know it goes beyond that. Read the topic before you post in it.

Did someone say you were responsible?

Why are you so obsessed with what I think? I was having a conversation with another poster. Move on already.

Some men are jerks. Get over it.

Too bad you weren't around in the late '60s into the '80s. It was GREAT!

Attractiveness has little to nothing to do with it.

Women rarely ask men out even if the guy is a 10. They will flirt or drop clues for him to do the formal asking.

I already said that I've been directly asked out twice in my entire life. I'm not a 10 but it could be worse. And I'm still happy with my batting average when I do ask.

I've also had numerous women who were clearly interested in me (and I wasn't) who would do everything but ask me out. I would have said no but they still felt it was the duty of the man to do the asking so I just continued to be polite and go about my day.

And no, they wouldn't have known that I was going to reject them. Of the hundreds of females I've flirted with/asked out I've never been completely sure if she'll say yes. For women, who rarely if ever ask a man out, there's no way they have more insight on that in comparison to men.
