Heck no,It shows intrest and we guys like that....or at least I do. The thing is with a woman making first contact is that they are usually intrested and know what they want. And that is great.........hit me up!

Absolutely not, it's actually very flattering when a woman approaches a man. Women nowadays are holding higher job positions, making more money, are independent as opposed to the past, why shouldn't they make the first contact. I'm a really shy guy, so if a woman were to make the first contact, it would relieve the stress and tension on a man's part of approaching a woman.

It seems women are flooded with messages so can't be bothered replying to most. It gets tedious sending message after message after message without reply so to get one back is a very welcome breath of fresh air.

Just curious how men feel about women making the first contact. Is it a turn off? Does it make the female appear pushy? In my experience men that I make the initial contact with will sometimes reply some times not.
In this day and age I thought men would be more accepting of a women making the first contact. That does not appear to be the case.


I think it is quite accepted for a woman to make the first contact, and has been for ages.

It's nice to know that you men enjoy the attention of a confident woman.... however, us confident women would also like to be pursued too, ya know...take turns chasing and being chased.

Keep it interesting....

Welcome to our world.

This is the same uncertainty men go through when we initiate contact. A lot of the time, you get no response or turned down. It can be pretty intimidating. On the other hand, being the one to have to turn someone down can be pretty hard too. Personally, I love to be approached by women.

Hi there Lady! I had to reply to your question..... why would you wonder such a thing? Women that initate contact are showing that they are confident and independent, what could possibly be more attractive than that? I find it very frustrating when women think that it is a turn off. That is absolutely not the case for me! I wish more women would be that confident in themselves to do that.... maybe there wouldnt be nice guys like myself on here anymore.... if that were the case. Dont be shy ladies..... go ahead and say hello! Have a Great Day Lady......

My answer... absolutely not!!!! I welcome a woman to contact me first (probably explains my lack of replies on here over the past 3 years). An empowered woman is a sexy woman, in my opinion. Women are as intelligent, if not more intelligent than men, and its much easier to know that a woman has shown initial interest in a guy, than the guy guessing "does she really like me?" So, yes ladies... please take the initiative!

No, not at all. I think it's great actually. Woman want to be treated as equals, then they can step up to the plate and make the first move/contact also.

No, I rather enjoy a woman making the fisrt move! It allows me to know that 1st) she wants a conversation. 2ndly) Some women size you up according to your manner of speech and 3rdly) It shows that there is interest there, so ladies, speak up and I and we will listen!

It depends on what she says in the first message. Some just want to see pictures. I send them pics of me in the landfill and they go away.

Not at all. It shows me that she has initiative, and an idea of what type of a fellow she is interested in. I want someone with a mind of their own, not a follower.

I understand it must be harder for the women, since they would have men from all over the place contacting them. If they responded to every Tom,****& Harry in an inappropriate geographic location, POF could turn into a day Job. The other downside that the women suffer is that if they are on 100+ favorite lists, I, and probably most geographically approriate men would see no point whatsoever in bothering to initiate contact since a contact request would be lost in a sea of spam.

If a women is on 100+ favorite lists, the only way any contact will occur is if the woman initiates it.

Any lady that contacts me, always gets the courtesy of a polite response back.

Is it a turn-off? Absolutely not! In fact, I like a woman who sees what she wants and goes for it. Not a turn-off, just the opposite: it's very flattering, and a very good way to pique my interest!

I would say that any guy who is turned off by this, is because of an ego or self-esteem problem, and you probably wouldn't want to be with him anyway.

Not at all I am always flattered if a lady makes contact after all it does take a bit of courage to make the first move even though it is a lot easier online.
