I have approached many women. I did this thing called "Leaving comfort zone." Hell, one of my best friends is a woman.

Here we go. I can do something right and people on here will still get on me. She's nice and it's just a lunch date. Nothing more. If you have a snarky comment to say save it. I'm not in the mood for a**holes tonight.

Well, certainly!

Every single morning, in the mirror.



She's usually pretty receptive, if bleary-eyed.

I myself try to squeeze in as many as possible But if I have to face rejection, make mine the passive variety any day.

Women, on the other hand, have three options. One, they can sit back and see what develops. Two, they can approach men directly they deem worthwhile. And thirdly, they can flirt, be obvious, drop the handkerchief, bump into him etc, which I see as a halfway measure between the first two. Now that is real flexibility.

Now if a woman is getting no play at all, then there are other issues to be dealt with. She may need some coaching or other intervention.
Hey, I do all these things and it works (on women).

One technique I do. It's called the cellphone battery game. You simply have some issue with your cellphone, and yank out the battery... but you have to have some actual issue with the cellphone which requires you to yank out the battery and put it back in. It doesn't work if you pretend.

Then you have to be a screenwriter.

Don't be poor, struggling and accompanied by a bunch of dying friends that are getting manipulated to death.

Now I couldn't pursue.

The ladies can help us out by showing an interest through verbal and nonverbal cues that an approach would be welcome though.
When we're allowed to be. I had a couple of girlfriends in the past year and I still haven't approached yet. Y'all ladies are just impatient.

Women have to be pursuable to get a man to initiate though. It's a two way street.
