Agreed. This is why I'm glad that it's still somewhat taboo for women to pursue. If all women pursued men, they would only go for the top 20% looks-wise. The rest of us would have even less options.

Not true. The women I've seen who pursue guys go for the plain, average, and even nerdy-looking ones. A couple of the women were very attractive, a couple were plain Janes. All knew the kind of guy who'd have LTR potential. In other words, they went for character, not flashy looks. You're thinking like a guy if you say they'll only go for the top 20%. Many women don't think that way, they don't go for the classically good-looking ones.

The better you understand women, the better your chances of finding one for a successful relationship.

The women who pursue are usually the worst looking ones IME. Fat, bad complexion, generally not attractive. I've had one decent looking chick who pursued me who disappeared after one date. I guess I'm nerdy and repulsive though.

/end rant
Did you give clear signals that it was okay to approach you and ask you out or did you play hard to get and kept them always at arms length? If a woman plays too hard to get she a) better be in that special upper 2% to make the chase worth it or b) I quickly lose interest and find somebody less difficult and actually "catchable".

Disagreed, respectfully. I'd pursue everything from Samwell Tarley to Jon Snow to Tyrion Lannister. The women I know, myself included, can't date a nice body, a handsome face with any hope for a future if that is all there is. Substance is a requirement.

I agree, IMO, if you aren't a 9-10 guy the only ones that pursue guys are the fat, ugly ones, because they are desperate and have no other choice.

I disagree with this.

From what I've seen, women pursue the same men. The less attractive men need to put in more work because they will not be the woman's type. If a woman say "You're not my type", that means that she doesn't think the man is physically attractive. I've seen men turn that around, but the women have the power in those relationships.

Agreed. This is true from the guy's perspective too.
