*Sigh* here comes the broken record for the hundredth time I was engaged to one woman who I loved very much, not two. I will ask this respectfully please don't bring her up again. You can have any issue you want with me but don't bring her up.

She may not have liked the other guys who asked her out. So naturally, she passed on those options.

Or, some guys will assume she's taken, or will say no. So they don't bother to ask and find she's single.

Or it's both. Guy ask her out, and she goes on dates. But if a man catches her eye, she's got no problem asking him out.

Thing is, all women don't get bombarded by guys when they leave the house. And for anyone, men and women. If they sit around waiting for people to come to them, then they usually won't get much.

Waiting on approaches is something only very hot people can get away with. Others are going to have to be more forward, or more social. Because they can't just walk out, and turn heads with their beauty, where they'd be getting asked out often.

"Women don't get bombarded by guys when they leave the house." I respectfully disagree. If a woman is at least average looking she's getting asked out all the time. I'm an observer. The only way a woman doesn't get asked out is she gives off a very b***** vibe and most women are nice to the men who approach.

I agree. I don't, the women in my family don't, and neither do my friends. I'd like to add, even if it was true it doesn't matter, it's a petty first world issue at best. I'm not complaining.

While trying to push them away by coming up with excuses like "I have a boyfriend", "I just got out of a bad relationship", "I'm too busy right now", etc. Then a lot of men end up wasting time and effort because they think they still have a chance. Nothing would change her mind if she wasn't attracted to the guy.

Women have said that to me and I took it at face value and moved on. Bottom line they aren't interested so there's nothing more to discuss. Oh well.

a lot of women (possibly even most women ?) have approached/flirted with/asked out at least one man in their lifetime. and sometimes (most of the time ?) its so subtle that youd have to be sherlock to pick up the clues. i assume mostly only above average guys are asked out.

i feel that most approaches (90 % ?) are initiated by men. probably only the below average girls are mostly ignored.

Sweet. There's a good chance that I'm above average.
Considering that I've been asked out numerous times, can I assume that I'm well above average?

JME:

Noooooo way on the above-average thing...most women I know, myself included, are far more likely to ask out someone we are more sure will say yes. That isn't usually Mr. Gorgeous with the ten girls hanging off him waiting for a chance to claw their way over their competitors.

I would not ask a man out unless he seemed VERY accessible; natural, genuine, less ego, probably a tad dorky as that's what I go for, and...showing signs he liked me. Clear signs.
