Dont relationships begin with being approched? If 99.99% are never approached by men they want it would reason that they never enter into relationships with men they want.

Nah the vast majority of relationships begin through circles, whether it's social circle, work, school, religion, hobbies etc. A growing percentage are now meeting through online dating and social networking sites. I'm not sure how many women are cold-approached by a complete stranger and end up dating him, but I would say it's low.

As far as my personal experiences go - I'd have to say I agree with you. I don't think I've ever ended up dating a complete stranger that approached me.

No. But they do need looks, looks, and looks.

Oh...did I forget looks?

After that, a woman needs:

-average IQ
-to be nice
-to keep her legs shut
-to not belch or fart out loud

That's all a woman really needs to pull a guy.

That's pretty much the sum of it.

Ford just sighs and goes, "Good Lord, you know how you get a man excited? Just show-up. We're men; we're easy."
Exactly. Haven't you ever noticed that dating/relationship advice books written for men tend to focus more on pickup/approaching women while dating/relationship book written for women tend to focus more on finding the right man?

If you want to over-generalize, you could say this has to do with the fact that most men have "quantity" problems when it comes to women, while women have "quality" problems when it comes to men. That is, most men have trouble being able to attract enough women, while most women get hit on by too many low-quality guys and have trouble finding a decent man.

Yeah, why aren't men satisfied with finding ONE special woman to spend time with? I hear stuff about how they try to play a numbers game. I don't understand that at all.
Quality is so much more important than quantity! There seems to be too many married men after us and others who are completely wrong for us, to sort through before finding someone even halfway suitable.

I think you missed the point of my statement. Most men (even very good-looking men) very rarely get hit on or approached by women. Thus, the quantity of women they interact with will be low unless men take initiative. Most semi-attractive women get hit on constantly by guys, so they don't need to put so much effort into taking initiative in order to increase the quantity of men they meet. That's ultimately the reason why women don't need "game" the way men do.

Yes men will flock to hot girls, yes men are easy. But that is not game. Game is getting the guy that SHE ACTUALLY WANTS, not the truckloads of guys that realistically have no chance with her.

So with that being said I think a woman simply looking her best is not a form of game.

OP, in my experience, women either have direct lame game like you've stated or super indirect, ineffective game.


As a woman, I didnt even think that woman had "game". I also thought game was crap that men pulled on women. OP, I belive the reason you see women just saying straight forward, normal non-game stuff is that a lot of us dont get into that crap.

Not saying NO women do..its just.I dunno. Like what has already been said here before. Men tend to do the advancing. And, most women just need to look decent enough to attract attention. After that, I think just being yourself and not a total b--ch (or a-hole if ur a guy) is the best "game" you can have. I NEVER run "game" on men. I wouldnt even really know how to begin. I just dont get into that crap, and if i feel a man is running some practiced "gameplan" on me, it turns me off.

And I disagree that just being yourself is a form of "game". GAME implies something different than being yourself. Im fairly intelligent, and I have a great sense of humor. I can bring a good conversation to the table if the guy can. Thats all i want. no GAME..thank you. Me thinking you are being yourself will go a lot futher with me than if you are this smooth talking pimp daddy that has just said the same thing to me that he has said to 10 other women the same day.

So, as a woman, im proud not to have "game" as game to ME....just means smooth talking pimp daddy-or mama..who is just skilled at getting someone to do something he wants or think the way they want.

I agree with the bolded. That's just the way it is. Unless you are a St Bernard, men will approach you. And to say that guys you like wont be the ones to approach you, that is sooo not true. I bet tons more women had their SO approach THEM than those who approached the guy first.

And im just thinking back to the times when i met some of my exes. Sheesh I dont think any of us used game but we ended up together. LOL
