| Why does the guy always have to initiate the date and relationship? or at least most of the time? Posted: 7/21/2012 1:20:35 PM | Guys are expected to initiate the date because only they know if they have enough money to pay for a date
Yuck. I hope I don't ever accidentally go out with a woman whose thinking and motivations are such that this is a big factor in how she thinks about styles or strategies of approaching or flirting.
and only they know if they are mature enough to handle a relationship with a woman.
Not so sure about that. It's easy for them to NOT know...and it's easy for someone else TO know. But beside that point - I'm still too responsible in how I perceive things to feel comfortable with any implication that women intrinsically have cornered the market on maturity. What about whether or not a woman is mature enough to handle a relationship with a man? So it still leaves us with the debate of man vs woman concerning who's supposed to ask who out.
...and also...is someone REALLY being serious about the notion that women are held to higher standards than men, or men more than women, in some general total all around way? Geez, be for real already people. | |

Posted: 9/2/2012 2:36:35 PM | well violence, instigating a fight, involves bravery, courage, and aren't balls, testosterone, associated with risk-taking? mainly i've thought, felt about doing that because i hate, despise, loathe the social-norm, status-quo, tradition, that the guy has to be the initiator, do the pursuing, approaching, asking out, etc
It's not always that way. But even if it were, big f*cking deal.
You're willing to just sit back and cry about it for the rest of your life instead of pursuing?
Yeah, that's got to be really fulfilling. | |

Not in my world. Perhaps I'm more future forward. I used to fret with self -critical worry. Be overly sensitive to every little thing to the point of sickness while the man has the control. Not anymore. If a man can't handle myself taking an initiative then he won't be able to handle me at all. I'm not the one missing out because I am happily free to being me. He is the one missing out. In my opinion, a real man with balls is one who lets me use mine, so to speak. There's nothing more unnerving than watching a man become uncomfortable when I show my "strong" side. His discomfort is a HUGE turn off. However, if he were to allow this side of me and appreciate it, it makes me want to show my softer, submissive side as well. Balance. Yin Yang I'm assuming this is the same for alot of women like myself? So..... the guy doesn't always have to initiate the date and relationship. He just needs to learn to allow and appreciate the woman initiating. | |

Sometimes, it has to do with their self esteem and how they look at themselves. Or, just like guys, they are scared of being shot down. I personally, have no problem asking a guy out, making the first move, etc. Because I have personally learned that yes, guys are shy too. And if you really want something, you should go for it. | |

Posted: 9/7/2012 4:50:00 PM | | wish more women had your attitude, mindset, but lately the past couple of years i've just come to accept and deal with it, learned a long time ago that life is never fair, the world, life is not all sunshine and rainbows, it is a very mean, cruel, mean and nasty, cruel, ruthless place that will beat you to your knees if you let it. Very inspirational scene from the last Rocky movie. | |
