Like the OP?

You only skim read, if you say I never participated in this reality, lol.

Thanks for the chat though.
Gay world is no different. You have people who prefer to be passive and those that choose the pursue. Your original premise was that one should be the pursued before making such judgements.

I'm simply stating you should take your own advice.

No... you clearly did not participate in this "reality. If you did any amount of pursuing your conclusions wouldn't be made.... certainly not try to reach to the whole wolves and rabbit narrative .

what comecloser doesnt seem to understand is that a lot of women don't like random guys approaching them .

if most women welcomed approaches from men...then you'd most likely see more approaches. as it stands...it's not the case.

thats one reason why online dating is likely so popular. that, or some guys just leave it to the woman to approach him first.

Very true, but maybe if you did approach, say hi, you might find you are cooler looking than you might think. What's going to happen, you go home with just your 12 pack of TP? Oh well, you were going to do that anyway, right?

At a certain point it isn't playing the field as it is working the field.

If a man wants to catch a fish, he can't be afraid to go in a store and ask for bait, can he? Would he just stand around outside the bait shop and wait for a worm to willingly jump on his hook??

I guess I'm just too old-fashioned, but as a woman, I'm not doing the 'pulling'. At a bare minimum, if someone wants to sample my milkshake, he's going to have be brave enough to come into MY yard, and not just dance around outside the fence.

But if you can teach them, it's fine that you have to charge.
You guys nailed it!

Oh, can us guy's use the "What are you gay?!" After a rejection like many women used on me after I turned them away? Lol

I don't know, but I once heard a guy say, "Come back, baby! I'll turn you back to men." After having been rejected by a random stranger he had hit on. I'm not sure it was the coolest thing he could have said, but it was pretty funny nonetheless.

Mine is men who seem to want to be in a relationship and then they don't but they don't actually break it off but force me to. Like the dates get further apart and "gosh darn I'm going to be busy the next 3 weeks" but they don't break up. Then I do and they act all pissed or hurt.

My biggest problem lately has been meeting girls who have major ex issues and can't let go of the past. It's like "I'm my own person, stop comparing me with everything your ex did".
