Societal pressure placed on men to "Take the Lead" in the romantic dating scene is unfair to men (Page 4)

[Anonymous]

Women despise gender roles placed on them, but they love gender roles placed on men that are wildly out of date. Hypocrites

there never has been or will be such thing as fairness, I don't like it either man, certain gender roles, but sadly, i'm afraid there is nothing we can do to change them.

Oh waaaaaaaa! It's not "societal pressure" that leads to this dude. You can choose not to take the lead if that's what you'd like to do. Ain't no one going to stop you. No one is going to "force" you to ask anyone out. Because the truth is--no one gives a shit if you date someone or not.

So go ahead and don't take the lead. I'm not sure what you're whining about.

But there are 0% of women who take the lead. Because of society's stereotypical views of what it means to be a man, the shy guy who doesn't take the lead ends up single. He doesn't want to be though. But then you go on GAG and its litered with questions about how to manipulate men to ask them out... do they ask the guy out? NO. Why? "Oh, well, thats the mans job..." catch my drift? There really is no choice.

Yeah--it's because girls tend to not like weak guys. And one if the first tests they use to assess if a dude is weak is "will he make the first move?" If not, it's a pretty good bet his weak.

Now before you start complaining about how "it's not FAAAAAAIIIIIRRRRRRR!!!" that girls don't like weak guys, take a look at your own standards. Do you like fat ugly chicks? Chicks that look like dudes? No? You like girls who are hot and feminine? Well, how do you think the uggos feel about that? Would you like to be forced to change your standards so that they feel accepted in the world? No?

Do you get the point here? It's really, REALLY worth getting.

It is not because the guys are weak. It is because the women are weak. The women don't ask out guys because they don't have the guts to do what we do. So they use stereotypical views about men that are in my opinion degrading as an excuse. Now days, I don't really care anymore. I never ask out chics. Chics actually ask me out instead. I am attractive because I am not weak and dont give a shit. But I can't imagine a guy who like me was sexually abused but had to deal with it in a different way.

Dude, what the hell is your problem then? If you're getting the dating outcomes you want by not asking anyone out and waiting for the girls to ask, AND if the girls you actually WANT to date are asking YOU out, then good for you? What's the problem?

The problem is, that's all bullshit--that's the problem.

It's actually 1 in 6 boys. Not 1 in 5

[Daniel3035]

I can't like how do I do that? And every time I see a decent girl she has a boyfriend.

[Pejtu]

If The only person that is trying to make relationship last is the guy
Thats just wrong leave her

[grega239]

It's not unfair to men, it's normal. It's been that way since the cave days.

[OddBeMe]

Technically yes, but being a decent human being isn’t hard.

[Loliking]

Women logic: “if he likes me he’s a deviant, if he doesn’t he’s a wuss and not worth my time

[Shy_Steve]

This is a great take.

[UncleJessieRabbit]

My heart goes out to this take.

[no1else]

Normally I lead

[Andylaker]

Men should still take the lead

[womanoflife]
