Why can't you women

just tell a guy that you like him? Why must you sit back and wait for something to happen? Why must you play games? Most men would make a move in the first few interactions if they’re interested in you. So why can’t just you just get it over with? If the feeling is mutual, jackpot. If it isn’t well what’s the big deal? You can’t imagine how many times your average guy gets rejected.

I swear you are all crazy

Re: Why can't you women

Its only due to the jahil denerate men who have dominated and abuse their lives for centuries that women do this. If you follow closely, you will see that a lot more young western women are very upfront about who they are interested in. Jahil people say its too liberal or immoral. But thas just the age old outdated culture speaking.

Re: Why can't you women

Why don't women just tell a guy that they're interested? As much as I hate to say it, it's rather becomes many women enjoy the attention of making the poor guy run around in circles to see what the guy is willing to do "for them" and enjoy the ensuing drama. Not all women are this way of course.

Re: Why can't you women

I don't know about other women but I approached the guy I liked first. Now I am married to him. He was and has been the only man in my life. I never dated anybody else

As you can see, not all of us play hard to get.

Re: Why can't you women

I approached...because I like being the chooser and not the chosen.

Re: Why can’t you women

this is where my thoughts are heading these days too :chai:

Re: Why can't you women

Clearly Pigeon wants a strong lady to scoop him up. Have at him ladies. Aggressiveness preferred.

Re: Why can't you women

Ewww Theorist approaching a guy. That grossed me out. On second thought, ladies, don't approach they guy first, just keep doing what you do.

Re: Why can't you women

Le Noodle, don't think you can fool me, bro!

Re: Why can't you women

Why does a lady not approach? What is so lady like about waiting? Who says only men can choose?

A secure man doesn't get bothered with this grade school stuff.

Re: Why can't you women

It's perfectly fine. It's just the mental image of Theorist approaching a guy.

Re: Why can't you women

Don't know who that is but admit it, it grossed you out too. Didn't it?

Re: Why can't you women

^what's so gross about me approaching a guy? I don't get.

Re: Why can't you women

OP, the interactions and emotions involved in relationships are very intricate and complex. They cannot be easily simplified as you have done in your thread, which reads more like a finger pointing at one gender. Deliberate and unintentional mistakes are made by both the persons in the relationship. After the storm has subsided and both individuals put their egos aside, they may be able to recognize their mistakes. If your thread is based on an actual situation, then it is one side of the story and not the complete story as holds true for all other threads. The validation you receive here is validation for just that one side and perspective.

It is not always the case that girls develop feelings for a guy after a few interactions. Sometimes those feelings can develop at a much later point when a friendship has already formed, making things more complicated. Society and cultures, even today, are not very encouraging of women making the first move. It can depend on the girl's personality and whether or not she feels comfortable doing so. It can also depend on her perceptions of how she thinks or fears the guy might react if she were to make the first move. There are many factors at play and they are compounded by the other person's responses and emotions like fear, pride, etc.

I do not think it's right to diminish the girl's feelings by saying that the average guy gets rejected often, so she should move on and deal with it. Maybe the girl has not been in that many relationships, maybe she had stronger feelings for this guy. People's experiences vary. As uncomfortable as you may have felt by the lady's confession of her feelings for you, I'm willing to bet that it was ten times more uncomfortable for her because she was the one being rejected. This places her in a more vulnerable situation than you. If one is going to be doing the rejecting, they can choose to do it with empathy and decency or they can do it in a way that kicks the other person when they're already down.

^what journal do you plan on submitting this paper to? :chai:

Re: Why can't you women

Rejection is equally hard on both genders if the feelings are strong.

Re: Why can't you women

How do we know if it's "equally" hard? I guess it's difficult enough to determine who has it "harder" or "easier." But equally? I dunno about that.

The rejecter may feel some pain or discomfort, but I think it's more hurtful for the one who is rejected.

Re: Why can’t you women

^ Maine bhi to yehi kaha hai! :smack: Being rejected is painful for both genders if the feelings are strong. I didn’t say it’s equally painful for the one being rejected and the one rejecting.

Re: Why can't you women

if women didnt fall in love with losers, there would be no heartbreak!!!

Re: Why can't you women

I can assure you this had nothing to do with an actual situation. If I am or ever was in that situation, it would not be disgraceful, indecent or disrespectful, or at least not until I am pushed over the edge.
