    I am very obvious if I like a guy. Unfortunatley, all its had is shut downs (except for one who recently broke me) so its not everyone. Maybe its just the ones you've encountered.

    That's what centuries of living in a man's world does to you!

    Ah well, yohanes, isn't that a thing we all were pondering about at some time of our life?

    Well, USUALLY boys make the step, so why not just lean back and let them come forward to you. I would do so too, if I know a girl is making steps to be with me, but society sees man as the step-taker, so girls tend to not show vulnerable aspects while you might make yourself ridiculous.

    What I really dislike is, when girls see a man make a step to them, dig them, but are to pussy to reciprotate and finally tell this man (let's say it's me), "I really dug you back in 2003... a pity it did not work out." YOU HO! I tried everything, but you were acting as if you weren't interested!!!

    Best case scenario is, both parties making signs and working "together" in that department, and what I sure as hell know too: As soon as a girl shows real interest in me, and drops signs to be with me, I go for it (if im single ofc), because that never happened before and I really appreciate this kind of genuity.

    /edit: Can't say I like the way it is, but sometimes I really enjoy the courting. It's like working in your carpentry and craft a cool wooden bench or something. To work on something and see the reward.

    Yeah women's rights are bullshit. Men should be allowed to rape women, touch women up in the street and a husbands should be allowed to beat his wife (property) if she burns his dinner which she's cooked after spending the day at home cleaning, rearing the children and finally putting his slippers on his feet for him when he gets home from work.

    Of course the media should objectify women, or course women should know their place and not be allowed rights to their body. If she gets knocked up by pleasuring him when he wants it then it's her own fault.

    And don't get me started on careers, women are worse than them blacks... Jeeze!

    Yeah, all the women's rights in this country, you'd think women would throw themselves at your perfect ass.

    Just to reply in a functional way...
    1. It's not nice to call a woman "slutty"... If she wants to enjoy herself let her.
    2. Traditionally men ask women out, but I know a lot of women who are very forward.
    3. Maybe you aren't showing the woman you like her, or are a poor flirt.
    4. Women's rights is not about women throwing themselves at men or being privilidged to be more forward and flirty for men's pleasure.
    5. Maybe you go for shy women.
    6. I've been involved with both and men do tend to say what they think more directly than women. But at the same time, in my experience women are more sincere. Women are open and forward in a different way to men really.

    Call me cynical, but perhaps the girls "aren't being forward" because they don't fancy you?

    It's amazing how its only ever men who can't get laid who complain about the behaviour of women.

    Meeoaw, put your handbag away Mister!! :D

    All women are different, just like all men are different. Deal with it. Some are forward and go for what they want. Some aren't. Clearly you attract the ones that aren't .... or should I say that you are attracted to ones that aren't. Maybe you secretly enjoy the melodrama of not knowing.

    That's what I am afraid too :)

    but I have to jump over my shadow...
    that's probably the reason too, why we men are generally more assertive...

    not to hop on the generalisation-bandwagon tho.

    rejection is just a part of life we have to get used to, just like bitches and heartbreak and fights and bad jobs...

    I asked my other half out. I'm not that much of a rarity either.

    :yes: - to some extent. Plenty of women are 'forward'. I've had girls come up to me in clubs and pubs, or try to dance with me plenty of times. It's just that it's rarely the one's that I'm interested in (now I know how you girls feel - you must get that all the time). I figure it's because the one's I genuinely like either don't have to be forward because they figure I'll make a move, which I usually will, or they're not interested (in which case I usually will anyway :p).

    Lots of girls are forward (and some very much so).

    Just speaking from personal experience, I've made the first move with every bloke I have ever been out with. I really can't be arsed waiting around for them to grow a pair, though I think my instincts about whether they're interested or not are pretty much honed to perfection - which makes it a lot easier and less scary :thumb:

    I wish girls were more forward too...
    Some people may remember but there's a girl in my class at college who I really, really, really, REALLY like and I'm pretty sure she likes me too from the time we have spent with eachother, problem is she's usually with her friends and I'm new to this college so am a bit shy and haven't really got the guts to go up to her and ask her out, but why can't she fucking do it?
    I did meet an incredibly forward girl at a party once, she was drunk as fuck though but was literally all over me. I didn't come on to her at all because she was going out with one of my best mates, mates but she was taking my clothes off and locking us in the garage and stuff lol, never met a girl that forward in my life.

    She might just be shy when it comes to stuff like that. And if she's used to blokes coming up to her, then she won't get out of her comfort zone to ask you out. There's only two things you can do. Ask her out. Or get her drunk enough so that she comes onto you :p.

    I know mate, and I'm too much of a coward to do the first so that's why I'm praying she's gonna be at this college party I'm going to next week....
    Oh the wonders of alcohol :D

    The first step has always been for me to take, I've never been chatted up (cries)... Then I feel they become more enthusiastic... if you asked me a couple of weeks ago, i'd say exactly the opposite. :p

    Not really. Do you (really) try and pull everyone you fancy? Do most people? A lot of people of either sex are afraid of rejection, so them not coming onto you doesn't mean they don't fancy you, just that they're shy/don't think you feel the same way.

    If i am honest i never approach guys! When i go out i just go out to dance and have a good time with my friends and if a meet a guy, i meet a guy but this rarely happens in clubs/pubs.

    What really gets my goat up is when guys just grab your arse when you are walking through a pub/club!! Hello! or if you are walking down the street and blokes are like Yo! or do that hissing thing!! what the fuck!!?? where are all the gentleman thats what i wanna know. Saying that i do live in North London.... perhaps i should move! lol :D

    Some girls are more forward than others, as are some boys. I don't think it's fair to say men always do all the work.

    yeah definitely,women r jus different. i'm the shy type and i wouldn't let a guy know that i liked him in case he didn't like me back...but my friends are just the opposite, they see what they want n just go for it! :yes:

    no because i'm in a relationship :p

    but if he can tell they like him and they wont move then either go to them or move on, no point winging about it. There's loads of forward girls, he just needs to find them.

    Well done for stating the obvious...

    If you like her that much, what's wrong with YOU making the move? I always make the first move if I like someone...

    Look at examples from nature - plenty of animal species operate in the same way. By making the move (with confidence) you show you ain't a beta-male who's terrified of women; by not making a move, you're suggesting either disinterest or a beta-male mindset - neither of which will get you anywhere with the majority of the female population.

    Because if we are too forward, we get called 'slutty', or men run away scared from a girl that can take the intiative.

    im not very forward when it comes to guys unfortunately.

    if im in a club/pub or whatever and theres someone there i like, i always try and make myself go over to them but i never can!! im just waay too shy with guys - plus i always get the feeling that if i DO go over then theyre gonna be thinking 'why the hell is SHE coming over here'?! i just dont think im good enough for most guys. it sucks

    hoowever - i went to london the other week and there was a guy on my coach that i reeally liked but had never spoke to. dont know if it was because of the different surroundings, or just if i was more comfortable with this guy than most, but i was actually able to go up to him in the bar that night and said hey first :yippe: first for everything! now we've been going out for 2 weeks :D wahey! i should do it more often me thinks..
