^ Yeah, now that's an interesting question.

It just gets the point where a person asks "What in Sam Hill do YOU want from me?"
Yet another good point.

Him: "I want you so much. You're perfect. I could see myself spending the rest of my life with you."

Her: "I'm sorry, I'm not interested."

Him: "Well, this is proof that women, especially women like you, have inflated egos, are overly choosy, unrealistic, lazy/want some guy to do all the work/take care of you, and are shallow."

Her: "And yet, before I said no, you said I was perfect for you."

Him: "....."

If that's your observation in women's choices in men..... What's that say about you then?

Not necessarily. Since women have the final say in every stage of dating, they're technically doing the picking: deciding to accept or reject a man's advances. So that still makes them the "picker" among the sexes. The men are the "approacher".

Where do people come up with this stuff? Women hardly have the final say at every stage of dating. Men can reject women just as easily as women can reject men.

Not in all cases, just saying the men seem to initiate and the women get blamed for being crazy or not picking a winner when all they did was say, sure I'll go out with you. Am I supposed to say, "this won't end well, move along". Nope, I got picked, I'm going to see where it goes

Hint: I think we'll be happy if men just take half the blame for failed relationships, ok?

I second that. The one who does more initiation will get rejected now and again. But as stated, if he does get a positive response, it's by a women he picked and wanted.

And as JAG said, women can be rejected as well. Not all men take whatever woman is interested. Someone here mentioned a girl who tried approaching guys in college, and they usually laughed at her.
