Assuming an average looking woman will be approached by x number of men, let's say her potential dating pool, and none of them are her 'dream catch.' Let's say she's the type of woman who expects the man to do all the initiating in the relationship, and will only help things along when she feels she is the object of interest or is being pursued. In the end, she will probably settle for some she finds far from perfect because she doesn't pursue someone whom she really digs or feels will be suitable/compatible with her. She can reject some of those in that pool, but she'll have to settle for one of them unless she takes the initiative or remain lonely.
Would you say this is the rule rather than the exception? It seems ever unattractive women (both inside and out) can still usually get into relationships, and many end up choosing a person that isn't good for them or well-suited to them.
Do you think if they were more pro-active going for what they want they'd have more success? Are they generally limited to choosing out of men who approach them first? If a guy isn't interested, is it worth trying to pursue him?
I usually go after who I want. I think it's up to the woman to make sure the man knows she's interested and pursue him in a very subtle way so he thinks he is the one pursuing her. Man or woman we've got to go after who we want, just in different ways.
I have no interest in dating a man I have to pursue. None whatsoever. Such a man either isn't all that attracted to me, or is shy - no thanks to both options. I will put myself in the way of men I find attractive, and will openly flirt with them, and that's it.
Obviously she'll reject many of them and may complain about how she's not interested in any of them.
Obviously she wants a very specific type of man.
