Knowing that there are people out there judging them for being "weird" doesn't help matters.

People talk about poor social skills and low self esteem as if these are traits a person has chosen to have.

But that brings me to ^^^^ question and the answer is yep you guessed public humiliation..

Years ago I had one do this to me ....... I was only 17 and was drinking with older people say late teens - mid 20s and was still " learning my trade ".... And I had this girl about 23 if memory serves anyway she loved the attention and would do the same as you mentioned earlier, but she was much darker and did it on purpose just to look cool or like lots of blokes were chasing her....

And after exchanges between us I tried my luck and in short she made me look an idiot , so after a few weeks I got my revenge back on her...

She's waltzed in this pub and whilst I was at the bar she creeped up to me saying hello and the usual patter and I kept it going for a minute or so all platonic and when a few people were around I shouted " LOOK!! I'm not interested stop bugging me! " ....... And made her look a COMPLETE idiot!....... Infact the whole pub erupted in laughter and she stormed out.

She really was quite stunning to look at and had men around her little finger but she realised what she was like in being over flirty, sending the wrong messages and knew exactly how all the poor men felt after what I did to her..

And she gradually changed.

I know this isn't popular but I feel men should approach women not the other way around. I have been hit on and I found it unappealing and lost interest in seconds. This is how I feel. I don't want to be pursued by any woman tbh.

Are you sure you want to make your personal preference into a generalization like that?

Just wondering...

You wasn't rude as such mate it's just it's a very broad statement to make so will naturally grab people's attention ( IMO )

Incidentally....... If you don't mind me asking mate...... Venus? ... Your location is that a town in the US or jokingly the planet?

I ask because I'm sure you've heard the saying " men are from Mars and women are from Venus " ? ..... And you say ^^^^ LMAO

Cheers

No, not rude at all.

I was just commenting on the "should" statement. The old "what works for you might not work for someone else" thing. That's all.

Maybe, maybe not.

Your woman never gave you any indication that she liked you?

"Why not?" I asked, pausing but not withdrawing, figuring it was mere hesitation on her part.

But she put her hand against my chest and pushed me back -- gently, but less gently than I might have expected. "Because I don't really find you attractive," she told me.

I was shocked, genuinely confused. "You flirt with me all the time," I said. "That's not just my imagination."

"That's just playing around. I didn't really mean it." That's exactly what she said to me.

Normal, schmormal. People are all irregular verbs and life is a gamble. You go for it, or you don't. You win, you lose, you lose out, maybe you get slapped down. Total crapshoot.
She was very rude and immature. I agree life is a gamble.
