      I wait until they're a good 3 or 4 drinks in.

      Then I pursue.

      While I think there is a rather "romantic" side to being pursued, I don't mind doing the leg work lol....

      Yes women should persue men. Now if we could only get them to actually do it for reasons that aren't completely shallow and superficial. Good luck with that though!
      I remember you. You're the one that thinks women don't date overweight men. Oh, and you ignored every word I said that went against that idea because it didn't help build your case. How's the love life going?

      dude, for reals, is there ANY subject about interactions between men and women that you won't throw a wet blanket on? i don't know what that chick did to you, but you got your bitterness dialed to 11, and it's harshing my mellow.

      everybody gets hurt at some point, you just have to learn to

      No! If it weren't for me, my boyfriend and I wouldn't be together. I messaged him (yes, we met online), I instigated the relationship ("So... When do I get to call you my 'boyfriend' instead of 'some guy I'm dating'?") We've been together for over a year and a half. I'm all for traditionalism and everything, but if you see something/someone you like and want it/them, then go for it! Though if he wants to get married, he's asking that question. I did most of the work getting us together =P lol

      Wait...did I miss a memo somewhere? Is there something wrong with shallow and superficial now? Is this like the carbs thing?

      I want to see the double blind peer study or I'm calling this myth busted.

      I initiated sort of speak....
      I asked him to dance with me and told him not to diss me by saying no.
      He used the same exact line when he asked me for my number.
      Been married now for over 15years.........

      why should I let someone pass me by waiting on him to say something if he doesn't know I'm available and interested? No way.
    • Posts: 6,990 Member
      Hmmm.... I have always thought and/ or been told that women in pursuit are seen as desperate. Or needy.
      I will let a man know I like him. Even if its telling him just that.
      But I want him to pick up the ball.

      Yes.

      I wish I could get the same satisfaction out of eating vegetables that I get out of eating doughnuts, taco bell and mocha coffee.

      It depends on the situation honestly. I am not going to chase anyone down for sure, but if I put the vibe out that I am willing to talk. Then it is up to him to make that next move. If he does not act on it, then I don't need him anyways.

      That's also a big thing, how the hell am I supposed to know if you are available or not.

      I'm sure it goes both ways though.

      hahahaha. I didn't say I was going to jump his bones right then, but put out "feelers" to let him know I'm interested in getting to know him better and available to do so. :tongue:

      So I should have been persuing men when I was single who I had zero attraction to? Good to know.

      From another thread - "No; a lady should never make the first move. Always let a man pursue you."

      Thoughts, opinions?

      If the lady is really good and smart, she will be in pursuit, but let the man think that he is. :wink:

      If the guy is worth it, I don't mind being the one to pursue him. But i do lose interest quick, if he doesn't reciprocate.

      I don't believe in "The Rules". I wouldn't want to be with a man who wanted me to play games. Whilst I didn't pursue my husband, nor did I play hard to get and we were both open about the fact that we liked each other from the first date.

      If women want to let the man "chase" them, then that's up to them but it's only worth it if that's the sort of person they are. If they're a feisty type of girl but let the man do the chasing then they may end up having to play a false role throughout their relationship.

      ^^This. Not that's it's a turn on... but a man will always go after what they want. I don't want to "chase" a man who "may" want me.

      I have to agree. Maybe, I am oldschool,or old fashion, call it what you want, but I believe that's the man's role. When a man see someone that want to know, regardless how shy they are, they will make it their objective to get to know that person. if I step out and do the job for the guy, it is like me establishing authority over him, I have now become the aggressor, It will make them seem weak, and who wants that. I think it is ok to show interest, by sending a smile or make eye contact, but the approach is in his court.

      I think that it should be up to the person most interested.. If you like someone.. just tell them.. go ahead.. We arent in the 5th grade

      I also thought it a rather asinine assumption that women should only be the pursued. Gender equality.
