Fun for thought Only...Opinions Requested!

I do find it amusing how many people are jumping on someone because of different beliefs. And surprise, it's the progressive minds ganging up on the conservative mind! Par for the course in america.. sadly.

a different belief would be, "I prefer to date women who let me approach them rather than the other way around".

instead, this guy is making it seem like women who approach men are aggressive and classless. on the flipside, he is saying that men too shy to approach women are not worth dating. that is not a conservative mind, that's a misogynistic one.

I was told via PM "It makes us think your hard up for sex!!
If that is what you want then go for it!!! "

Snort.

I did not realize that confident women were an attack on a conservative mindset. Also, way to make it political. :laugh:


~A real conservative

I guess you didn't see my post farther up the thread where I said "A woman with the confidence to approach me would leave an impression." I love confident women, and fundamentally disagree with topsking. My comment was about the response to him from that group of people who don't agree with him.

But spin it however you like to make yourself look good?

Explain how progress is a bad thing again?

And defending misogyny doesn't make you the voice of reason.

If done correctly, most women can "approach" without looking like she is approaching the man (subtle goes a long way).

Don't hate the playa, hate the game :laugh:

Let me put this another way!! I would never raise my daughter to approach a man first!!

A real man should be confident enough to approach a woman and say Hello!!!

Any man who thinks a woman should approach him lacks confidence and should Man Up!!!

Hi topsking2010.

I would respond to you via the private message you sent me, but doing so would make my skin crawl, so instead I will respond to this lovely post you've made.

While I understand you may be used to overcompensating for any feelings of inadequacy or insecurity, I find your ideals, to put it lightly, absolutely abhorrent. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but sometimes women may want to approach a man they find interesting and that is completely fine. I'm sure this idea terrifies you, but sometimes women are confident enough to go for what they want without depending on a man to give it to them - and also unfortunately for you, it does not mean they are "aggressive".

I am saddened that you are raising your daughter to accept misogyny and to feel as if it is acceptable for men to be aggressors. Does your mindset extend to her interactions with her teachers and, later, bosses? Should she not go for the things she wants because she, as you told me, "should expect the best because she gives the best"? Sounds like settling to me. I guess I will have to accept the "best" at my job because I only "give the best". I won't ask for anything else, because otherwise I wouldn't be considered a "classy lady" by your definition.

And, next time I see a guy I might be attracted to or find interesting, I won't try and strike up conversation with him. No, doing so would be far too aggressive and would mean that I am not fully dependent on men to give me anything I may need. And the next time I am approached by a man, I will be sure to "express interest" as that would make me a "classy lady" (your words, if you recall). Even if the guy is setting off every alarm in my creeper radar, I will be sure to be polite and make conversation with him because I am so lucky that he finds me attractive enough to come talk to me.

Oh, and, just so you know, I would and do want to date someone who's shy. There is nothing wrong with that and it is not a measure of character. I happen to be shy too and find it an endearing quality. I know, I know... women have more preferences in men other than "aggressive enough to approach". Hopefully that's not too much for you to handle.

Sincerely,

One unclassy slore

PS: By the way, next time, please don't PM me instead of addressing me in the thread. I am clearly not a "classy lady" by your definitions and won't respond graciously so I would advise you not take that extra effort.

TOPSKING2010, for the last time, STOP being such a beta and PMing people with your bs. We all know you know how to reply in a thread.

Disgusting, sad, and hilarious all at once.

Beta behavior does not impress the ladies.

Original question, should a woman approach? Sure, I think it is fine for a woman to approach a man she's interested in, but I think in most cases it is unnecessary. Average looking or better women get approached enough that the issue becomes irrelevant. They'll see a wide swath of men. Some will be palatable, some will not.
