Of course. Makes you feel like a take charge, get things done kind of guy who gets results. Those are are the kind of men women find attractive not coincidentally.

I'm not totally surprised she doesn't get asked out much. It's kind of lost art these days.

It's almost a guarantee that if I run into a woman whom I find attractive, she's categorized into one of those 3 above.
That sounds like a pretty terrible place to live.

Is there a reason you stay? Really good job?

Lol, exactly. I don't know where these people live were attractive women are just ignored by men. Maybe dudes in houston just have bigger stones, because where I live dudes are constantly hitting on hot chicks.

Sorry, but if a girl says that to me, I'm respectful enough to assume she does have a boyfriend and will back off completely. I despise game playing to the max.
I hate when women do that. Be honest smh!

Easy to say when women for the most part are not expected to approach and ask men out. All the pressure is on the man, so I can see how guys would be discouraged by being turned down their whole life, and vice versa guys who have a lot of confidence with women is because usually they've been successful with women for most of their lives.

The girls I date get hit on pretty often. Now, maybe I just date ugly girls and no guys are afraid to approach them and I'm the only one in the world who thinks they're hot?

I think this is the second time this week we've agreed on something.

Congrats. That is awesome. Best wishes to you.


Remember, she said yes to you. All you have to do is have a good time with her. Don't worry about being perfect or anything.


This is awesome.
