What are you referring to when you say "weak"? You mean physically? Sure, women are physically the weaker gender. So what? How does that relate to your problem? And for what it's worth, I would hate being a physically weak woman. I've been a regular at the gym for more years that you've probably been alive. No one would ever describe me as weak.

Weak emotionally or mentally? That's not appealing in the least - in either gender. I would never be attracted to someone that was weak inside or upstairs...nor would most women.

Dude. If you want something in this life, you are going to have to prove it and work for it. No one gets what they want by being a crybaby and saying whyyyyyymeeeee all the time. Seriously. Grow the **** up.

Practice makes perfect - get out there and start practicing!

Seriously.

And if you can't do it alone, for God's sake (and your own) HIRE A LIFE COACH.

There is no reason to be alone in this world if you don't want to be honey.

YOU have the power to change things, but you must believe that and act on it.

Now be like Nike, Just Do It!

You know - going after what you want doesn't necessarily mean just hitting on random strangers. Sometimes it just means making the first move with someone you already know and already know that you have some feelings for. I've never dated a guy who hit on me in some bar.

Speaking for myself i have no single women in my social circle so im stuck having to do cold approaches..

The one girl i actually made out with was my friends wives best friend and she claimed the next day she only made out with me becaude she was really drunk which made things awkward since she was kind of in my social circle so to speak so that didnt work out too well..

People always argue, say this all the time but they never bother to explain specifically why, they always say "Because your a Man, thats part of being a Man", seriously, why is it the way it is? where is the logic in it? Is it Biology, Evolution, in DNA, Genetics, as to why men the overwhelming vast majority of the time have to be the one to do the initiating? or is it a Social Construct, Society-Thing, Culture-Thing?

Why is taking charge, taking control, going after what you want and making things happen part of being Masculine, part of being a Man? who or what made that rule, standard, expectation?
Have you read any history? Men made the rule. It was once that women were not permitted to approach or converse with a strange man. She could be beaten or killed for the indiscretion. Even until not so long ago it was still taboo for a woman to do so. Society would label her a loose woman and ruin her reputation. Times are changing but such things die hard. Give it another 50 to 100 years.

Not a personal attack, but who raised those wimpy whiney young men?
Why so many women insist on being mother-hens to their sons?
