True things do change, and some of those things have changed in favor of females. We can pick and choose our role and not be subject to what's been going on between the sexes for eons. Accept or reject, bob and weave. The playing field has gotten a tad bit more level. It has little to so with women being more passive, or thinking a " real man" would do this or that. We're just following your lead. As a matter of fact women now a days are much more aggressive than in the past.
Used to be a man could approach a woman, but if a woman was brazen enough to approach a man she was looked at unfavorably. So now it's not fair for the man to have to approach because he's putting it all out there. Can't have your cake and eat it too.
I do agree with you that both should put themselves out there, I am just saying that it's pretty much always been that he approach her and it's generally been accepted by both male and female.
and women never have to take responsibility I don't get why people disagree with that
Its called...."Hi, how are you doing" with a very telling smile of intention. But I know outside of the south, gretting is very uncommon. We speak to everyone we gain eye contact with....we look for it. I appreciate a woman too much to not let her know she's gorgeous whether I want her or not.
it's quite annoying and gets almost to the point of uncomfortable/awkward! even a smile or just a hello would make it less so.....i understand fears, insecurities, etc, but you don't have to ask me out, just say hi! I've had this conversation with friends many times and all the stares make us uncomfortable, for more so than a simple hello would

I agree, I think it may be a regional thing. People can be more standoffish up north and in the Midwest. I once approached a girl and told her something along the lines of "Hi, my name is 4DM1N, I'm in town visiting from X state. How are you?". Her response to me was, "Does that line work on everyone?". I was dumbfounded. What was otherwise an innocuous conversation-starter, was misconstrued as some tacky pick up line. It essentially destroyed the mood and I walked away with my tail between my legs. This is why I rarely approach girls, because of moments like that.
IME, people from the south are much friendlier and far more approachable. I remember people waving to us from their porches when we'd drive down the road.
Its difficult to not have a hatred towards women for expecting men to make the first move and initiate
Do you also hate all men who do make the first move and initiate? Because there are millions of them out there doing just that. Whether or not they are confident, or a quivering mass of jello under the surface, they're still doing it.
