Back on topic, I approach guys all the time for friendship. And if I were single, if I liked a guy enough as a friend and was interested in dating him, I would ask him out. But no way would I just come out and ask out some random stranger on a date... not in this day and age.
No, I'm not ugly. If I posted my face and someone from LA saw what I've post, girls will say "That's the dude who's making negative generalizations from city-data". It would be too bad for my chances.

Like I said, I'm not ugly, but I barely smile because looking at the situation with the younger generation and how things are these days.

And yet two people come together. Just two - out of what 6 billion??

Who cares if you get rejected - so you realize how many opportunities there are to just say "Hi"?

Besides the BEST part is test driving all the different personalities (fun!) - it makes the security of picking just the right one that much stronger.
Or nodding my head as a sign of "Whats up".

My current lady friend approached me and asked me out. It's a nice change of pace. What's even better is when you later find out from her friends that she never does that.

Major ego strokes.

What was strange was that she used almost the exact words Revelated stated - "I like you. I want to spend time with you and see where it goes."

Do they learn that from their "Girl Book"?

Now I've never approached a girl, not even asking her out because I can't take the risk of rejection. One girl did approach me back in high school, but that was it.
When I was your age I had to hit a woman in the head with a club and drag her back to my cave by her hair just to get a date, not much has changed since then.

I met my wife under the strangest of circumstances when I was 20, one day you will meet someone out of the blue without expecting it, get to talking, and really hit it off. You have a lot more time than you realize to meet plenty of women, chances are you will really click with one of them.

Only if they're my type. I have limitations and preference for women. That's just me.

Girls don't approach the guys they like. Mostly they just send a gf of them to tell the dude "hey, my friend wants to meet you"

I wish I could have a friend or a cousin bring a girl I like to me. But no, most would see those guys as cowards.

Well how about you stop with the negative generalizations about women? If you are ashamed to have real life women associate your negative comments on the internet with who you are in real life, then you should stop making them. You are being dishonest about yourself in real life.

Just like you would like a girlfriend that you can trust and loves you 100%, she would want a man that trust and loves her 100% back. And I certainly wouldn't want to date a man who posts the crap you do about women and black women on the internet. That's like leading a secret life and being dishonest about the person you are.

Now when did race play part? When did I mention race in any of my threads? And why are women always changing their minds on certain aspects? Why do most women want kids? When was the last time I mentioned race?

Because that's how the human race has continued itself, by women (and men) wanting to procreate.
