What is it with women? None ever talk to me, look at me, smile at me! Am I ugly? Do I smell? What gives...

If you wait for women to make the first move you'll be single forever. We expect men to make the first move damnit. And I'm sure plenty of women have looked at you, you just didn't know.

lol one of my friends tells me, "You have to make the first move, so she can make all the rest of your moves for you." My problem is not really walking up and saying hi, it's that I have no clue what to say after that. I'm not normally a very verbose person, especially if I'm talking to someone I'm attracted to, that and I seem to have developed a taste for my foot. Dunno why, I just keep shoving it into my mouth.

I agree if you wait for us woman you'll be alone forever. Woman want a man to make the first move. Thats the way its always been. We get tired of the IM relationships. Get the bool called He's not that into me. Men need to read it. Best to you in your search

I've got my own "What is it with women" though. I've been stood up so many times that I'm accustomed to it now. I've only had 1 woman /not/ stand me up in the past year or so and it was my ex-gf who wanted me to go see a movie with her. It's gotten so that I go expecting to get stood up, now. They always seem really eager to go out on the date, but when time comes to meet me there.... Nothing? (Talking about people I've already met and talked to, not ones I meet on the internet... because I haven't met anyone on the internet :p)

It is not just women who stand up men, I have had 4 in the past month stand me up. We talk online, then talk an the phone and decide to meet. I show up and they never do. And, yes - I agree that men should make the first move. It is tough, but it is what society has brought us up to expect. E-mail should be a little easier for you guys, as you can think about what you want to say and then send it, no face to face - which means it should be easier for you not to have to tast your foot.. at least at first. :)

Can't win for losing
Posted: 7/28/2005 11:27:17 AM
I was at a local karaoke bar, a regular hangout for me because I love singing, and I start chatting a girl up. She not only gives me her email address but gives me her phone number, kisses me on the lips and tells me to call her tomorrow. I was really excited and starting to feel good about myself, so the next day I did as she asked and tried to call. Then I tried the next day... Then the next day. I also sent her two or three emails in between.
She didn't seem drunk when she gave me her number, but I guess I'll never know. Perhaps she thought better of it afterwards. Doesn't matter I guess. It was a good feeling for that night at least, to be attractive and wanted. I know I sound like a loser, but after a year of being stood up and treated like I have a plague, I feel like one.

Personally, I think you're cuter than a speckled puppy...

You're also only SLIGHTLY older than my son-in-law, unfortunately.

And you GOTTA view it from our perspective, as women, Honey...if we wait on Y'ALL to make the first move, we're gonna get old here, with arthritic fingers curled over the keyboard for all eternity. When WE make the first move, Y'ALL think we're easy, needy, or desperate.

It's a no-win situation.

Now now, don't generalize everyone of us. I personally have never considered a woman easy, needy, OR desperate even if she came home with me on the first date.
What's good for the goose is good for the gander. If we all didn't want to make the first move becuase we don't want to appear that way, the human race would be doomed.

Ok, oddly enough, (not to change the subject /too/ much) I've gone from being lead on, stood up, and brushed off to having some crazy stalker lady obsessing over me. (not any of you ladies, but she did start messaging me from this site a while back)

Man I've got bad luck...

Stand behind me, Honey...I'll protect ya. Then *I'LL* become crazy, stalk, and obsess over you myself.

On a more serious note: Unfortunately, that happens in this "medium" of communication, sometimes, especially when there's talk about dating/sex/relationships. I've been online a long time...back in the days of single-line bulletin boards, multi-line chat boards, and not much else (ran my own, in three states, from 1990-1993). There's another thread somewhere in the forums about people being the person they'd LIKE to be behind the monitor, which is something of which they're the polar opposite in person...and that happens way, WAY too often in an online "community." Sometimes, people CHOOSE this as their only social life, because of their dysfunction or because of their lack of social acumen...and other people get caught up in that drama with them. The best way to handle it is to ignore, initially...if the individual persists, report it to the moderators.

Man, I think I'm really going to hang it up.
I just got stood up... Again. I know I said it happens so much that I'm used to it, now, but it still hurts. A lot.
I'm so depressed now. :/

Well my dry spell has lasted 2+ years now and every time I get stood up it really hurts my feelings. It's kind of you to say you would, but I'm sure you're saying it just to be nice. All current evidence points to my being completely unwanted by the opposite sex. I probably shouldn't say anything while I'm depressed like this, though.

Kage come on man stop your whinning and get in the game. I think your problem is all in confidence. Women can sense when a guy has confidence or not, it's all about the body language. Pick your damn head up and walk like you have a back bone ( I was a Marine Drill Insturctor, can you tell?). Look her in the eyes, not at her breast when you talk to her. This is a big one so pay attention, DON'T, and I repeat DON'T talk about your ex or any other woman that you have had a relationship with or stood you up (and from the way you talk, this could be a long list). Listen and pay attention (again take your attention off of her breast) to what she is talking about and think about what you are gonna say before you say it. Also, forget all those stupid come on lines that one of your buddies told you, hell they probally never worked for him either. Finally, take a bath (Hold on, don't get upset, I'm only advising you, not telling you that you smell bad) with something that smells good, and go buy yourself some GOOD (not cheap) cologne or body spray. Remember, science has shown that men and women are attracted by body scents, so it could not hurt. Finally, forget what you see on TV because that is less than 1% of all the women you will meet in your life time. Be realistic, find you someone that you can talk to, not just look at.

I feel as if you don't know enough about me to say what you have said, but I did not find it necessary to say more than I did in my previous posts. In fact I feel some resentment towards you for some of these accusations you've levelled towards me, and it upsets me that somehow you've read that into my previous posts here. I would address each of your assumptions about me, but correcting you would not be a constructive use of my time; suffice it to say that you are incorrect in your summation of my problems. Until you get to know me better, please don't try to diagnose my issue.
