Re: Why can't you women
Being hunted is such a turn off . . . though dropping hints is different
Re: Why can't you women
Its different for different people.
I've seen men and women chase...sometimes it pans out and sometimes it doesn't.
I don't consider rejection personal or bad because not everyone is intended for everyone. Plus, you don't approach just any joe shmo...just the kind of person who looks like they can handle it. I've not men a lot of guys who are that grounded though to be honest. Meaning, you say "HI" and their antenna starts bleeping "OMAGAWD, SHE WANTS MEEEEE". Approaching is just finding out if you've got potential...nothing more. Consider it wandering around the cosmetics counters at a department store...stopping to look does not mean you're whipping your credit card out.
If you like someone, find out if your choice is worth liking...that's how I see it.

^I would think that the other person being too eager to the point of feeling hunted would be a turn off. In all fairness though, some men are rather thick and don't pick up on subtle hints, making the "hunting" necessary.

Depends if there's a chain and/or a whip involved.

Re: 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
Okay, fine. I like you PP. Let's make this a jackpot.
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.
When you say approached him, did you say upfront that I like you or something?
Re: Why can't you women

Yes, I told him I was falling for him. To this day, I have not met another guy like him. He is very different and I am so glad I got to him first. I work mostly with men and I have interacted with enough men to know that his personality shines through. When I met him, I knew he had everything I wanted in a guy so why wait.
Re: Why can’t you women
No thank you, I’m not into you. 
Re: Why can't you women
because that's the way they are wired and there is nothing wrong about it.
Re: Why can’t you women
Jackpot!
Don’t care. Scherbatsky will do.

You must think outside the box to understand why it doesnt happen that often.
Cultural expectations, need to play mind games, etc are not the main reasons why women dont approach men as often as vice versa.
Re: Why can't you women
if women didnt fall in love with losers, there would be no heartbreak!!!
Losers are men who cannot attract women easily
If a guy can make a woman or two fall in love with him he's certainly not a loser. So your choice of the label 'loser' doesnt make sense.

Because then the mullah brigade comes after you and you get to hear sheikh lectures scolding you about talking to the opposite sex and mocking the idea of "love", and people poo poo on you and assume you're having sex with the guy because that's what obviously happens when you let someone know how you feel about them.
Just take a look at some other threads here to get an idea of the mindset.
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.
Are you saying that women have a lesser ability to deal with rejection?
