So really women do not care what they end up with.....
Nope, they still go out with them because they are charming. There are also non-player guys who are charming as well but that does not mean he will ask her out.

'making it easy' were the keywords. This is still a hint.

They need to close the sale if they really want the guy.

Personally, charming doesn't work with me. Funny, silly, genuine, honest - these things mean something to me. Someone going on and on about how beautiful I am usually makes me run the other way. Someone that makes me laugh and talks to me in a down to earth, no nonsense way is much more appealing to me. I have friends that used to always go for guys that just flattered them - it got them nowhere.

I'm confused by this post. The things you say mean something to you are what I would also call "charming".

Everyone has a different defination for Charming.

So whatever works with you.

So girls have many many guys asking them you, who are they picking out of all?

Well, nobody anymore! I'm married! I only dated guys that I had gotten to know a little bit already - through friends, school, work, or something like that. Yes, I had a couple of random hookups at parties and such - but those didn't mean anything - some of those guys I didn't even give my number to! And by hookups - I don't mean sex, just so you know!

As for the guys that I went out with - I went out with the guys that made me laugh! Most of them were also very intelligent and talented. Actually, I think I used to go out with most guys that asked me - I just might not have gone out on a second date if they didn't interest me on the first. I have a hard time hurting people's feelings - so I usually went out with guys at least one time if he had the courage to ask me - well, if I knew him a little bit. At bars and such - I usually didn't let guys buy me drinks unless I knew them.

Likewise. A man might think the same of you because you chose not to approach him. Goes bothw ays. Or are you telling me "it is a man's job" to take the initiative, take you out, and so on.

As for taking him out, I would have no problem with that at all once we're further along with things and no, not after a year, more like a month or 2 at least.
The so called initial or beginning stages, right?

lol, no, he's likely to think I'm more traditional and if that's not his thing, he can make up his mind about me instead of us wasting each other's time. If I was more like a "modern" woman, asking a man out that I like would be something I'd do all the time. In a way, in my traditional mind I'm "asking" the guy out by flirting and showing tons of interest if I like the guy. If he isn't receptive after that, I assume he's not interested and move on.

well after a month or 2 you already know where things are headed so I would say why not? but what I do depends on how comfortable we are with each other by then.

I am speaking in general.

Making someone laugh is not a hard thing to do. Lot of guys are intelligent and talented. So how are you eliminating them and coming up with 1 guy?
