Do you think the biggest reason why a lot of men stay single for a long time, is because they don't have the guts to ask women out? (Page 2)

No and its not even a reason. Most men dont approach because men are self aware and know there chances just looking at a it actually has more so to do with women's dating standards and how these standards eliminate most men so men so a lot of men figure why bother and focus on other things in life (Making money, building success, working on social skills, working out wtc). Approaching isn't enough
No. They are afraid of things in the long run not working out and they are paranoid that the woman will screw him over.
He’s afraid more, than he is willing..
Has his guard up and won’t compromise.
No, its not because they don't have the guts to ask women out,
Its more like there are very few women out there worth dating, and remember that during and post #METOO women told men to go away/do not approach them, which men did, and now those same women are complaining that men will not date them/are avoiding them, and those men who are not dating have done a cost/benefit analysis and decided that its just not worth it.
yes coward... i'm a straight girl but at times i wish i'm a guy and for sure i'm not the coward type. because that's what men is for to sought, to chase. basically that's part of the job
One of the reasons. However, most guys have to understand when approaching women, the only intention should be getting to know the woman first and after that, understand her and accept if she’s for him or not.
It's either that or no one has walked us through to how to get the girls (without lame/stupid pickup lines or being invasive or being a dick or whatever).
For me it's the latter. Heavily so.
The number of guys I found out wanted to ask me out in high school but never did was unbelievable. Just ask. I already know whether I would go out with you and I'm not going to be mean about it if I say no.
Not necessarily. Lately, I’ve heard it’s because they don’t want to be falsely accused of sexual harassment or something. A lot of guys lack confidence and/or fear rejection.
No we have "equality" now. when they start putting in an equal amount of effort to approach then we can start dating again.
Yes, or they stare at a dating app hoping for that woman to magically appear. Most could meet a woman today if they had the motivation.
Or the social skills. The lost art of conversation
Could be. But also men have a different biological clock than women since if women want to have children they have to rush it while they are still young enough. So they have much more incentive to get married faster.
Dont have the self confidence, and dont have the will to be better.. but i think there are guys who try but still dont go anywhere (my boyfriend’s friend i notice).
Why do you think it still doesn't work for him?
I dont know for sure actually. My boyfriend and i talked about it once and he said maybe because he is shorter than average, but that seemed too shallow to me and this friend of his has a twin brother who is married with a kid. So its not the height.
I don't know how this is gonna come off, but sometimes when a guy is too desperate (to get laid, to get a girl, or to have a girlfriend), it would just be all over him and it becomes obvious and it is not something that attracts women. I don't know if that made sense, or if im even right, but if i had to guess id say thats the reason.
Got it. Do you find decent looking, or do you think he would be considered attractive, by a lot of women?
No, I disagree I think a lot of guys are single because they're not physically attracted to most women e. g. muscular. I've seen confident guys that are not physical specimens getting burnt by average women in appearance. Yet their personality and attitude is great and still struggle.
It might be the opposite. They ask out a lot of girls and see plenty of action and don't want to get married
I voted duh, how does it explain me lol, it's me lol 😆🤣
Its a combination:
Women with ridiculous standards
And
Men who are bums, who don't work on themselves and continue to give women free attention and money.
This can be due if other men in their family that could be utterly minded and aggressive due to alcohol abuse and domestic issues. So they don't want and afraid to be like them 😒
Is because they're not yet ready to be in a relationship and are living their best life.
nope. maybe for the shy guys. but for the regular guy, no. that's not a reason. a lot of them like sleeping around.
Women on dating apps have issues with too many men asking them out so no that is not the case.
