A few times lately I have posted about a former friend whom women threw themselves at. I have stated that I do not approach women because unless they behave towards me like they did towards him then they are not interested. Yet every time I am told I am completely wrong. How can it be wrong when it seems crystal clear?

Mostly False. Women are less obvious about their interest. I do like assertive women to a point. However, I have a woman throwing herself at me currently, and I'm avoiding her like the plague. But if I found her attractive and normal, I'd like it. In my experience, its usually been women I have zero interest in who do this. Attractive women don't need to do it.

False. Now, plenty of women will throw themselves at men they like. However, not all women are the same.

I am a woman, and I don't care how hot he is, I am not going to throw myself at a guy. We can go on some dates, and see where things go. but, takes more than looks for me to be that interested. The women that throw at your friend, apparently are more casual, and looking for fun, just like guys do. But women who want relationships or something more serious, are probably bound to not be as forceful, and wanna move a tad slower.

Once again, it's like if I comment that "men only care about hot slutty women." That would be false.

Not all men and women like the same stuff. Some things are indeed popular among more people, no doubt, but you'll still have people that care nothing for the popular stuff.

Like celebrity men. Women tend to like

Brad Pitt
Johnny Depp
Derek Jeter
Orlando Bloom
Ashton Kutcher
Leonardo Decapprio

These guys are apparently beloved by tons of women. I am not one of them, and don't see the appeal to them. Are they ugly? No. But I don't find them as hot as others make them out to be.

So, all it takes is one person to prove a generalization false. I am a woman. I am shy, so in the past when I thought guys were cute, I didn't approach and start flirting. Let alone throw myself at them, even though I was indeed interested, but this was years ago.

Your friend's life isn't the be all and end all for how things work. Where does he meet these women? And since you say women, there's more than one. So, he's apparently not sticking with just one is he? Chances are, those women and he, are only looking to have casual fun, and/or they're simply more outgoing women.

Plenty of women, like you, are afraid to approach because they hate rejection, even though they're interested. And some women, even if you approach and things go well, doesn't mean they're going to fall into your pants. Some women are more old-fashioned in that they take things slower. Then some are more outgoing, and they'll be very aggressive with a man they're interested in.

Some women are blatant. Others are more subtle. And still others are too shy to say anything. And some believe men should do the approaching, so even if they're interested in you, they'll wait for you to make the move. And if you don't, they'll move on. What I think is generally true (allowing for exceptions) is that if a woman is interested enough in you, she'll find a way to run into you and start a conversation. If she's already had a conversation with you somewhere, or has observed you and likes what she sees of your personality, she'll find a way to make an encounter and convo happen.

OK, wait. We have to define what we mean by "throwing themselves" at men.

OP, could you let us know what that means to you?

For the most part, false. But, I have seen women push and throw people around to get to a certain man and pretty much throw themselves at that guy.

I haven't seen it in a long while because the majority of my friends are in LTRs or married, but when they were single or were dating there future SOs and we'd go out to bars and other places, it happened quite a bit.

Since its never happened to me I will have to take your word for it. I've had women friends that liked being around me but no interest any other way.

So im unattractive to women because none of these thing happened to me.

Women would come on to him constantly even when he had girlfriends and even a fiance. A different woman every night.
