  • It's too bad some girls have to be rude about turning guys down. When a guy asks me out, I consider it quite an honor! And if I'm not interested, I let him know that it was still very sweet.

    ^^^ Classy lady here. It takes very little effort to kindly send someone on their way... considerably less than it took the guy to muster up the courage to approach you. It is much appreciated.

    Life is too short to be shy. I stopped caring about rejection a long time ago, easiest ice breaker at the bar is "Hey, how are you doing tonight?" or "how's it going?", not to be confused with the douchey "how you doin' ". Just try it on some random girl and when she stops to talk to you just take it from there. If she doesn't who cares, there is another girl behind her who didn't see you get shut down ;)

    Why don't you ask?

    Because I'm a tad old fashioned



    So what you are saying is you don't put out on the first date? Since you are old fashioned ?

    I sure don't


    I wish more girls were like you have values

    I certainly appreciate it more when a woman I approach can be polite when shooting me down. It certainly takes some thought on my part to actually go and approach a woman. Not everyone is going to be interested, but my thought is that there is nothing to be gained by being rude about it.

    Exactly this!

    The bad thing I see is when a girl wants a guy to be more ballsy, when he actually gives it a go he's seen as an arrogant pig or a "player", but then when they want a shy guy they're too "boring" or come across as uninterested because maybe he's too shy. At least that's what my friends act like. Personally I think, give a guy a shot, it can either go one way or the other and you can (depending on the situation) make a lot more friends that way, even with a friendly rejection. :)

    Perhaps he doesn't see the signs? I never see signs, so I don't ask.

    And I mean that as in personality.

    I'm single. Super tall girl so I intimidate the crap out of men, apparently. But if see an attractive girl that you want to take out, why not just ask? Stop being so damn shy! lol

    That's my "rant"...

    because you all make it so damn hard. Why dont YOU ask us? I can count the number of times I've been approached in my life on one hand.

    because you're gorgeous :love: Totally unapproachable :laugh:

    I have a shyness issue :wink:

    My boyfriend did, and his mother and I get along just fine :) The two aren't mutually exclusive - sex is just plain nice.

    Seems that people in the states and in the UK have different values and morals each to their own I suppose

    Yep, my wife doesn't let me ask women out either....

    Haha
  • I have never been truly intimidated by any woman. I have asked out scores of women. 50% say hello no, 25% say not interested, and 25% give me a chance. (when I was single).

    I don't care if the woman is taller than me. As long as she doesn't mind me being shorter than her.

    Yep, morals and values are exactly what I am thinking about when a woman has her hand on my inner thigh.

    That, and whether or not Mumsie would approve of her.

    Well let’s just break down the dating scene here and figure this out. First off as a collective men all hear woman say what they want is a man that is tall dark and handsome, holds the door open for you, pulls out your chair for you to sit down, a man that has enough confidence to make the decisions and a true man that never yells or raises their hand at you in anger. You all want a man that is nice, kind and gentle…..

    Then there is reality… we open doors for you or pull out your chairs and you get mad because you’re not cripple and capable of doing it yourself. You get upset with us because we are making all the choices and you feel like you’re being left out of the decision making. You breakup with us and say it’s because we are too nice. Or you would never date us because we’re too tall, too short, too wide too lean…. You say you would never stay with a man the abuses you yet time after time after time we watch you run back to these abusive relationships because “you love him” and he didn’t mean it.
    Why don’t I ask...it’s simple…I’m not sure if I’m your tall, I’m not dark, handsome is in the eye of the beholder, I’m chivalrous and open doors and pull out chairs, I try and plan events and dates with you so that you feel included and have a say, I don’t argue or fight and I have never in my life raised my hand to a woman (I was taught differently than this). In short I already know I’m what you don’t want.

    So why should I as a man be the only one leaving himself out for rejection, not to mention the confusing messages…..Sometimes I think the real question in life is why aren’t more men gay, lol.

    You mean we are supposed to do that?

    No wonder I've been single for so long.

    There's actually a very tall girl who goes out dancing Friday nights I've been wanting to dance with, but always assume because I'm only 5'10" that she wouldn't be interested.

    Am I wrong? Don't women prefer the tall guys?

    Generally I don't approach women based on looks alone. Looks, no matter how gorgeous a girl like me, doesn't provide me with enough incentive to give a crap enough to put myself out there like that. I need to see some sign of common interest or attractive personality trait. For example I once walked up to an attractive redhead in the produce section of the supermarket based entirely on the fact that she was wearing a Thundercats T-shirt. Things like that which yell "KEEPER!" are what provide me with the incentive I need.
