I married a passive man. He did not do much chasing at all. He said he preffered to be chased. In my opinion, I think men are bred/born to chase whether they are laid back or more assertive, right?

Men have individual personalities and preferences. Shocking.

And what is your plan if everyone agrees with you? Are you going to show the guy this thread as proof that he should be more assertive? Somehow I don't think that's going to get the result you're looking for.

It's normal for people to go after what they want. Even women who say they expect the man to do the pursuing will sidle up to someone who catches their eye, and will start flirting.

Men are individuals just like women.

We are all human and all have our own personalities.

If they want to pursue they will, if not, they won't. Nothing wrong with either option. Go with the one that suits you the most.

Men have been the pursuers for millennia. Men who didn't pursue were (and I would argue still are) typically biological dead ends.

Some of the guys who don't pursue find themselves pursued by women who like shy guys, or who like them for other qualities. Not pursuing doesn't necessarily lead to a biological dead end. One bonus for women who go after those guys is that they'll never have to worry about the guy cheating on them, since he doesn't pursue.

Wow, this topic has been discussed to death. Truth be told, I think many guys (not all certainly) would prefer if the women took more of an initiative and let it be known they were interested. I've always taken the initiative because otherwise nothing would have happened. As far as chasing, as I said in another thread I did that once and would never again. In my experience, mature women don't play games. The ones who do have not advanced beyond the high school years. The fact is, men, like women are different. To say that ALL men were bred to do this or that is a gross exaggeration.

Hahahahaha! Of course not. This is for my own personal information. He is who he is. I just asked a question.

Well dear, if you were annoyed by the topic, why didn't you keep scrolling? Oh...wait, your two cents. Ok.

I think women are built to respond, not pursue. Mature women don't play games, but that doesn't mean they don't like to be pursued.
