Women: You SHOULD initiate (Page 3)

[StickStickity13]

I agree, most women don't realize they need to show interest or the guy will find someone who will

[HighlanderTheOne]

You're going places. Mostly in the single zone but places.

[myTake Owner]

Ok.. ? Why the single zone, if I may ask?

[Pedantic]

Pragmatic take to a common problem. Well done Lumos.

[livann]

I did initiate last time with a guy I knew had feelings for me. But he ignored me and has yet (after a little over a month) texted me back. I firmly believe what you said. Some guys just don't reciprocate.

[myTake Owner]

That sucks. Maybe he found someone else or changed his mind. Some people are like that and there's not much you can do about it except move on :/

[Toad-1]

Guys deal with rejectection like this all the time and yet we are all told to 'man up' and get back out there. So 'woman up'

[myTake Owner]

@Toad-1 that was unnecessary? She never even said anything about quitting. And telling people to "man/woman up" is childish.

[Toad-1]

Yes well girls must understand that rejection happens. They shouldn't sink back into their perceived roles just because of that.

[myTake Owner]

@Toad-1 livann seems perfectly capable of knowing rejection happens, especially considering she said that she firmly believes what I said. Pick your battles, dude. -_-

[Toad-1]

You'd be surprised how much most girls do just give up. And I wouldn't be surprised if she did as well. That's all I'm saying here.

I don't wish to argue. I just see a lot of double standards when it comes to this topic.

[myTake Owner]

@Toad-1 you're just making assumptions so seriously, stop.

[OpenClose]

This is fairly normal in terms of rejection. That's part of why guys want more girls to be involved in it, so they can also understand the kind of rejections we get before dishing them out.

I've asked a girl out, who I was already friends with. She just simply ignored my existance for a week. When I asked her if I said something wrong, her friends grouped up, threatened to kill me, and started trying to convince everyone I was robbing their apartments. I had to go to security and report them before they would file charges. Had Title IX audits been going on at the time, the school would have been required to expel me and ban me from campus because of the rumors.

Thank God security knew what was going on. These girls had done it before.

Trust me, when everyone is paranoid that your gender is a bunch of rapists, rejection can really go down the rabbit hole. Far worse than the silent treatment.

So will women ask for my number from now on? SO COOL. lol a man can dream right?

[JustinX9]

Sadly only a few women think like you OP, most of them won't initiate because it us a man's job. But many women expect men to be mind readers and other ridiculous expectations

[Anonymous]

Good take. Good message. It'll never happen though.

[myTake Owner]

When I see girls on here ask what they should do in this situation, I always encourage them to initiate and to think of it from the guys' perspective. Nearly all the girls I've said this to have had an epiphany at that moment, and have told me that they would contact the guy.

[Opinion Owner]

That's nice.

Still, it's never going to happen in any significant numbers. It won't.

[myTake Owner]

Haha, just wait and see. People also used to think that the earth was flat.

[Opinion Owner]

We have been hearing this for decades, and nothing has changed. It never will.

[myTake Owner]

A lot of things have changed, actually. Just because it happens slowly, it doesn't mean it's not happening at all.

[Opinion Owner]

Mmm hmm.

[Anonymous]

This take made me uncomfortable. There's some underlying elements at work here. I must ponder this madness.

[myTake Owner]

Alright? Lmao

[Nettie29Howie]

Nice take, I always hear women say, well he just all of sudden stopped texting, calling, and/or talking to me. Good advice. 😏

[orphan]

i'd rather not be predated by a woman.. *cringe* guess i'm stuck in the old skewl.

amusing read though.

[Anonymous]

I like your attitude, and I wish more women felt the way you do. Sadly, most women don't initiate, at least in my age range. They don't have to.

[OpenWine]

defines my way of approach for most times, sneaky and ineffective.

that pic reminds me of a common disease these days

[Anonymous]

I highly agree but too bad it will always be in the minority, huge minority

[Anonymous]

If guy did something for his life and failed then he will be a losser but many girls here saying that if we intimate guy ignored. What to you think bout you now?

[myTake Owner]

I think that I'm actually not understanding at all what you're trying to say, since your English is very broken.

[Opinion Owner]

I mean to say if guy given up then people call him lower but many women here said a guy ignored me so I dont intimate anyone but they don't think like they are lossers.

[JustinX9]

Auto correct is messing up with your English

[Opinion Owner]

Exactly, I should be careful next time

[tscumeses]

no, but then living on looks alone is fine... you know best. haha.

[TatyanaTheEmpress]

Yup, you are so right, cool MyTake :)

[Sinister]

MyTake of the freaking year right here! BAM!

[Anonymous]

I'm afraid your words fall on deaf ears.

[myTake Owner]

They don't.

[LaBoheme099]

I initiate with the men I'm interested in. I don't see why I would wait for them to? If I'm interested.. Well then I'd rather let the dude know haha.

[ChocoLada]

Nice MyTake, I agree :D

[Dragonstarterplus]

... I rate this Take 1,000/10
