When they do I find it very cute because sometime they struggle alittle bit and if you really like them you can make it a little harder for them with a smile
So I say go for it if you like someone tell them25 Reply

+1 yOn bumble it expects you as a woman to make the first move. In all honesty I've had better luck there in talking to guys then any other Web site. Whether I'll find love I don't know.
It's still hard because some guys just aren't interested and mostly swipe right if you're not ugly.
So it's hard to really know if of all the matches you get they're genuine until you talk. And I've had guys unmatch after hello.
😢
I will say though I'm not sure if all guys are expecting the woman to keep making a move after they match because one guy in particular hints that he likes me but still hasn't asked me out or even attempted to ask for my phone number.
Another well although we've met several times and I thought we were good he's showing signs of blowing cold...
I don't really know what guys want...
I don't have a massive social life and I don't really like a lot of people when I like you I find it hard to contain.
I'd really like to know... Is wearing my heart on my sleeve a bad thing?23 Reply- +1 y
When it comes to these dating apps I am honestly clueless. I have seen people find great relationships there and others weren't so lucky. So I say honey put your best foot forward, keep being you, be safe! And the right guy will find you! Or you will find each other😊

No problem thank you for your great question and feedback.
I will add I'm talking to a guy. I thought he was nice... Japanese. I asked him why he's been single he claims his ex hired a pi. That they were engaged and she tried to get some dirt on him.
I'm not sure exactly if he's deliusional or retelling some Netflix story but I'm going to leave this conversation...
+1 yGirls know what they want better than guys in the dating scene and tend to be more pragmatic in dating, so I say reach out and grab what you want and/or yes, just ask him out ladies. We'll meet ya in the middle for sure, but I say if you like someone lets all quit with the games and just put it on the table. It's the 21st century and it surely would/could get us closer to equality by everyone just breaking any boundaries that suit one to break. I can say it wouldn't make me feel less attracted to a women if she said hi and let me know she is interested. Personally, I'm a bit tired of us guys having to guess or hope she's into me and most likely we are clueless that a lot of women are interested. Basiclly, because I'm/men are suppossed to read all the signs just right. I bet most of us humans are missing out on finding that person because of these outdated rules of engagement. And really, the truth is most of us guys are really dumb on reading the signs. We can be pretty oblivious to them and I think we all are missing out because of this old standard.

+1 yNo telling what percentage of men like it this way. It's likely 50-50. What's great about it for men is they KNOW the woman is attracted to them and they can proceed from there if they're also attracted.
When a man launches on a conquest, he's flying blind. Does she like me? Find me interesting? A woman's first move solves several emotional binds for a man and sets him at ease. It means he can relax, take his time and explore instead of being nervous and feeling foolish.59 Reply- +1 y

Also need to comment that a woman’s first move doesn’t have to be as direct as men are vice versa. Just smile at him and start a conversation. Lightly touch his arm (shows that you are interested in being more then friends). Ask if he would like to get coffee.
95%+ of guys will get the hint and will take it from there. But from my observations women are either way too indirect or in a minority of cases they go way too far in the other direction. - +1 y
@globetrotter22 I always ask about coffee. Only way to know if there's any potential. In the light of day, completely sober, not in a noisy crowd, there's a different vibe. And I'm open to having a good male friend too. Lovers are few and far. Friends are great. Different viewpoints, skills. People are interesting packages.

@Screenwriter well I say this respectfully but you have been around the block a few times at your age. You (should) have a better idea how men think. Lots of younger women don’t understand that what a man really craves from a woman is not just sex/intimacy but respect. Some women never understand this and just see men as disposable resources (and modern feminism isn’t helping either.). Anyway thanks for your feedback.
- +1 y
@globetrotter22 OK, the fact that I'm older carries some weight. And don't blame feminism, please. Feminism is about women achieving parity/equality with men. Therefore, not about men being disposable, financial accoutrements.
I've noticed this in a recent thread about some young women expecting men to pitch in money according to their income. Not fiances, not husbands, but someone they've known less than a year and who they've moved in with. One woman found out her boyfriend made a lot more money than she initially thought and she expected him to support a more exciting "lifestyle" for the both of them. They broke up over this.
If you're romantic roommates with someone, especially if you're new to this, you split COSTS 50/50. A man's income isn't YOURS! Where does this assumption come from? OR, you make particular arrangements that suit you.
Personally, I'm completely against men footing a bigger part of a roommate situation unless they have exclusive access to a bigger part of the apartment! I mean, that's fair. If you're SHARING, you're SHARING. It's not 70/30 or 80/20. A wealthier boyfriend might toss in some treats they decide on: A nicer vacation that they share expenses on. Some fancy events, like a concert or such. But the idea of USING a man's salary when you have no clue if they'll be a long-term partner simply because he makes more is distasteful and reeks of being a "kept" women.
Maybe these young women have been trained to this by their usurious mothers.
I certainly never got that idea from my mother or father,, but their salaries were identical: mom a MA in education and dad a postal worker. And they planned the finances, balanced their checkbooks and saved by consensus.
I've also seen drunk young women in Las Vegas being interviewed about sugar daddies. They giggled and said, sure, they'd have one. I don't get it. Getting over instead of making your own way. - +1 y
The feminist ideals you grew up is not what it’s evolved (or should I say “devolved”) into today. But other than that I completely agree with everything else you said.
- +1 y
@globetrotter22 Well someone's not teaching these fillies what feminism is truthfully about. I think there is some idea that women are supposed to use their sexuality to get what they want from men. Again, prostitution, and not even thinly veiled. Other side of this coin is, your value as a scheming sex pirate wears out quickly. There aren't enough rich AND foolish men to play this game. I don't have a daughter, but I've told my son to date, connect with women who don't NEED him, but who bring something to the table in a relationship. He's almost 27. I hope he's heard what I've said.
1.3K opinions shared on Dating topic. I think it would actually be helpful if women start with some kind of showing an interest because especially younger guys like me we often have a hard time figuring out if a woman likes us or would be open or interested for something deeper.
I know it's hard but we can't go back in time and guys are at least calculating the risks that comes with asking the wrong woman at the wrong time.
So the traditional guy, that pays and risks everything for a woman could become a rarity in the future.11 ReplyI think most men would find that attractive simply because most men are always sitting wondering "what if?" and most of the time those approached dont really go so well unless you have experience, and women typically are not straightforward they will usually drop hints over and over until you get it before they would say something, and let's be honest, guys are not the best at picking up those hints. So women approaching would help a lot. Also, note that women approaching are more likely to have a higher success rate if a man did. BUT there also be some negatives to that.
02 Reply- +1 y
what are the negatives to that?
- +1 y
@awkwardddgirl There are 2 that come to mind, but if you make the first move sometimes you have a certain standard and they might think that you will always make the first move and sometimes find yourself leading the relationship. Another, is you need to think about a man's main interest, which is usually sex. After that, it's when they start thinking about a relationship, so knowing a man's intention, because men are not as picky as women are. For example, for women you need to bring certain traits, and attributes so she can even pay attention to you, as for guys as long as you look pretty they are willing to give you a chance, but just because they give you a chance it doesn't mean that they will give you a relationship. So yeah your success rate is higher but could be not for the best reasons.
This is a hard one & I can definitely understand a females frustration with this one, it's all in the approach & you're ability to read a person & adapt. Depends what you're looking for; some men will like it, others will question what number am I? # 7? Or #77? Not saying it's right but thats the truth:/

+1 yA woman who approaches is a breath of fresh air. Too many women are attention whores and waste guy's time. A woman who approaches and makes it known that she likes a guy will do far better in dating than one who sits in a corner and expect the guy to figure out that she likes him.

+1 yshe was highly attractive and everything she had was perfect and ideal. when that kinda girl amongst toppest in the crowd made a move on me, i can't describe in words but yes i was moved which way what nature I don't know. but that also gave me a sense of warning about her if we get in relationship. later she tried a few more moves but i didn't paid that much attention coz i went busy and ignorant when'd she finally realised this she stopped it. i guess all she wanted was sex. such girls are firstly considered as one with these motives apart from that she must be in trouble coz mostly girls approach out of nowhere only her her own relationship sucks. and won't tell this to her boyfriend. she can also feel distress and approach you. dont go on her face otherwise you are fooled to have a girl.

a woman named laura and dania (youtube) she often makes jokes to random men in public for example sleeping on a man's body in the library, takes a man's hat even though the hat is being used, looks directly at the man in front of face and the funniest thing is "proposing to a man random in front of many people carrying a ring then she kneels in front of many people"

It's exceeding rare, the only case I can think of when this happens is if the man is extremely high value either in looks he's genetically gifted or he has very high socio-economic status. In both cases he's probably used to women approaching him so not such a big deal for him.

Well what girls think are so called “signals” are not always obvious to men. I’m really getting sick of men being blamed for being “dumb” just because we can’t read your minds. Huge communication issue there. He’s not always going to notice just because you walk a certain way in front of him or you just laugh at his corny jokes. You have to go further and just get in a conversation with him. At least he knows you find him approachable.
I remember years ago in college a girl I rarely spoke to asked me to help her fix her flat tire. She was cute but a little off. I wasn’t sure if she asked me specifically for help just because I was a “nice guy” or if she was actually interested. She brought her bike to my room.

Yes, but she should just do it in whatever way she naturally would (assuming she naturally would in the first place). The way that I'd find it unattractive, that being confident or boldly, is something many others guys WOULD find attractive.

That’s a different dynamic.
Opinion Owner+1 y@globetrotter22 it is but not really, in our subculture, due to the age difference and my community status, someone in her position nearly never initiates things... That's part of why I agreed nearly immediately to take her out, I was flabbergasted by it and was unprepared for it. In hindsight, if I had thought about it, I still would have (she's an amazing person) but yeah
- +1 y
I understand there are unique challenges to that dynamic (like knowing if she even likes women or not). However you are not as intimidating vs. another man approaching her.
For guys it’s a catch-22. We are expected to approach but we also have to be careful not to come off as creepy or worse.
Opinion Owner+1 y@globetrotter22 I wasn't speaking about the LGBT subculture, I am part of the Leather Culture and am the Majordomo of my Family and essentially the #3 person over a House of around 100 people. In short, my job is to be intimidating AF... She is a submissive, submissives rarely initiate with dominants, especially with the Majordomo.
- +1 y
Yeah that’s a subculture I know little about. Although I’ve dated bisexual women before.
But still it’s a bit different than the traditional man approaching a woman. I’m 6ft and 180lbs and very athletic. That’s a turn on for lots of woman but if their not interested I can come off as threatening if I’m not careful.
Opinion Owner+1 y@globetrotter22 yeah, you see that's the difference I'm talking about... A majordomo is akin to a Master At Arms, the person in that role is meant to be intimidating, that's part of the job... Basically if anyone in the House gets too far out of line it is their job to either correct them themselves or to refer them to those above them for discipline, and if that happens the threat of that person being banned from their community is on the table. Any interaction with or around the Majordomo can be very intimidating for someone who is naturally timid anyway.
