We have lives. We can't read every thread on the forum.

This is one of my biggest freakin' pet peeves. "GOSH, why didn't you know [insert random personal detail here] about me?! I stated it in a thread back in August of 2009!"

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?

Relax, I'll help you through this complex web! It's because men are the hunters. Always have been and most likely will be. Everything else is contrived.

Rejection is part of life. I get rejected all the time. I hold the door for someone I think is cute and say "hello" and she gives me a dirty look and walks away. Ok, so what? There are like 6 billion other women out there. Am I really gonna allow myself to give a flying squirrel that this one woman couldn't see that I'm a genuine guy? Of course not, because I'm stronger than that.

You shouldn't let this whole thing get you down so much man. If you feel like you NEED someone in your life as a companion in order to be happy, you need to re-evaluate yourself.



thats what i hate, girls are allowed to seek validation from guys but not the other way around, and yes to the other person, social-skills, conversation-skills are far more important for guys to have than for girls to have, since social-awkwardness screws a guys chances way more than a girls chances of landing a relationship, those that disagree with that are delusional

Oh my bad bro. I didn't look at your previous posts. How ridiculous of me.

The fact that you expected me to look through your previously posts suggests that you have HUGE entitlement issues ("I DESERVE a girl without working for one!" "I'm SO important on this forum and every thread revolves around ME!").

Here's a nickel's worth of advice for free:
1) Stop whining
2) Figure out what you want
3) Go out and get what you want

If you don't do all 3 of those things, you will forever be unsuccessful in dating.

Lionesses know what they want and go for it!

Chicks asking out dudes on dates seems really weird to me. Dropping hints and flirting like crazy, that's typical female behavior, though.

Biologically. Men have better spatial awareness and are more suited to physical pursuits. That equals "hunting".

Wait a second, if you "WantToHaveALife," then why are you complaining about putting in some effort? We don't get something that we truly want by not putting in our fair share. Which leads me to believe that you don't really, truly want a life or a woman or whatever you might say it is that you "want".

why are women allowed to have an entitlement attitude towards men but not the other way around? why does that double-standard exist?
