Seems like it'd be more simple for a woman to get up and go talk to the guy if she's interested instead of engaging is this sort of staring contest.

May they figure they rather do something they enjoy doing than getting rejected.

Agreed but I have not had that happen often at all. Women seem to want you to do that which is not a big problem if you get cues she is OK with that.

Well, think of it this way, you can go after the ones you want instead of passively hoping the ones you like will come to you. You could also use online dating, women have a decent advantage there. I get a feeling that women aren't used to the numbers game because they never had to play it or just started to, while men have been playing it forever. One of my platonic gfs and I were chatting at this bar and she was complaining about being dumped, and she said it was the first time she had ever been dumped. I looked at her with a poker face for about five seconds before I started cracking up. It wasn't meant to be mean spirited but her sheer incredulity about something that happens to alot of guys on a regular basis and is something we're supposed to soldier on through amused me.

You'd be surprised Jet. You shouldn't always have that mindset when a guy checks you out unless you catch him with perverted eyes. Lets see now.

You are tall. You have long legs. You have curves AND you have huge boobs by your own admission. That's a recipe for a lot of guys being in AWE of your stature! I know I would be but I wouldn't be rude about it.

Your red hair and tattoos are just part of your overall look. Don't think that just because you have a certain look that guys look at you as an anomaly because it's not always the case. I'm guessing that some of the looks that go your way aren't always favourable in your eyes? Furthermore, some women of your height don't like certain guys looking at them because they don't fit your level of attraction. Guys who you don't find attractive get branded as pervs if they check you out so it does go both ways.

I think it's too hard for a woman to acknowledge a guy by returning the looks if she's interested and he's attractive. If his face shows pervert or something you don't like, turn the other way and shut him out. Simple as that.

Agree with you here to a certain degree. There is the "time" factor of which the woman who's the object of interest may cut it off because the guy took too long to approach. I don't know wha the aesthetics are in terms of minutes and seconds, but sooner or later one of the parties has to approach the other. Tons of guys fail because they stare with dumbfounded looks and don't do anything. Too much is weighed on what should be the next move instead of actually making the next move.

Women can help this situation by not being so old-fashioned. It's OK for the ladies to approach too. Women who get what they want have no inhibitions about being first.

Are you kidding? Ladies get dumped all the time. We won't put out. We got witchy. Too needy. Not needy enough. Just wanted a date then leave it at that. She wants a relationship who wants that? She won't play naked twister.
