The problem I have with these threads is that it just assumes that women will just go out with the first guy who shows them any sort of attention.

This doesn't take into account that the guys they attract may have motives that are not good.

Do women have it easier than men? Some might, but it varies by person. And I do not think that being female in and of itself makes it easier to attract potential dates.

Girls could be coming on to you and you are missing the cues. I've had 2 girls in my life come on to me. The first one was scary. The second time I learnt from it.

PMSL @ John :lol:

I've been there. But I know how to deal with those cues now.

Biology!

get use to it :wink:


but that's about sex (FREE sex). Dating is more than that. Guys thinks it's easier for girls cause they can easily have what the guys want. Unfortunately for the girls, that's not what they're looking for... what they're looking for is as hard to get for them as sex for us. One can't crave what they can have. It goes both ways, different needs, different POV...

just a little grey (as in 'not black and white') comment: there ARE womens for whom it's hard too....

That's exactly what I just said.

Not all women, though. I've seen girls complaining about the same thing you've complaining about (how guys won't give them the time of day.) Some women are just as unlucky at love as some guys.

But there are guys (like me) that are looking for something other than sex (it would be nice, but not necessary)... And yet I get rejected pretty much any time I bring something up. It wouldn't even be so bad if it was a straight up rejection, but the rejections I've gotten (except for the first) were all pocket vetoes, where they say things like "oh well I'm kinda busy right now", or "We'll figure something out" followed by nothing else... I didn't want sex from any of them, I just wanted to not be alone anymore...

Have you ever seen a human abandoned an advantage in hand?

Not-initiating is one of the female's advantages in the dating world which make them the pickers , they won't given it up with nothing in return just because you said so.

Wanna dance, big boy?

When you use your sexual orientation to oppress, you become as bad as the oppressive known troll you're trying to oppress, and then this reflects badly on all people of your orientation (kind of like how black people must set exemplary behavior, or else their whole race is sullied).

Wow - that isn't how I perceived that at all. Sensed no inkling of oppressiveness, only a snarky (and amusing) shot back across the bow regarding the OP's "complaint"... that's all. John, I like your sense of humor. PX, all I can say is that I hope one day you open your eyes, and see your role in things instead of projecting it on to others.

I took it as John just being a smart arse, trying to play on ProtossX's alleged homophobia.

So wait, you hate "aggressive," unfeminine girls, but you want the girls you like to get up the nerve and go against the feminine norm to talk to you first?

Having your cake and eating it too just doesn't work, I'm sorry.

You obviously don't understand shyness.

But yes it is good to get these things out in the open.
