I still think it hasn’t changed since the dawn of man.
Women still put themselves out there kinda like fishing. And wait for the fish to bite, the fish being men. And they pick and choose what “fish” to keep.
I've learned as a guy, sure, if someone catches your eye, make the first move, but it can't be lopsided, the girl should pursue and ask the guy out on a date of when to meet up after he initiated the first move. She has to show interest. He picks a place to go to, is a gentleman, does all the right things. Here's the key, to the ladies and to the girls reading this don't just scroll over my comment and look at Tik Tok on your phone. If a guy you sorta like but not sure about and you agree to go out on a date with him and the date goes well. After the date, go start freaking out or having an anxiety attack of commitment issues of omg but its one guy I don't know! I don't know! I don't know. To the females on GAG don't waste a guy's time, don't waste a man's time. If y'all keep talking about other fish in the sea (other girls) then fine don't even agree to meet up on a date there's no point because you are giving a guy a false sense of hope with you. And any girl who reads this will most likely say "ohhh false sense of hope eh so you just wanna have sex you sad pathetic boy". Actually, nah, to the delusional females out there stop having a stick up your ass and grow up, some guys in life mature and want a MEANINGFUL relationship. But I get the sense a lot of girls want a guy who is 6'3, 250, with a big cock and these delusional girls assume that guys like that will be faithful and loyal 24/7 when he also will have options going after him and to girls out there understand that the higher and dumber your expectations of the perfect guy y'all better realize those types of dudes know full well he can get hotter girls to sleep around with to. I don't know why girls today have such a problem with a guy who's like 5ft8, 5ft9, athletic build, confident, funny, quirky, knows his stuff whether its money, politics, economy, religion, etc. Guys aren't scared to pursue girls nowadays, guys just don't care.
Men are still primarily the ones to make the first move and most likely, always will be. Assertiveness and confidence are masculine traits. They don't only apply to men, but they are more common in men. So statistically men have more traits to be asking the girl out. However, women are realizing guys they're interested in are passing them by because guys are oblivious until a girl literally tells them to their face that they're interested in them, so girls are starting to make moves too.

Although I think there has been a decline in men approaching women for many reasons, I still think men make the first move.
And for those men who say women should make the first move, when a woman does, they are uninterested and unattracted the woman. Not saying that they should be, but when a woman does show interest, they are either not interested or they are but then become disinterested because she's now pursuing him! Ridiculous.
I think it really depends on the person. I'm the type to approach guys. It would give me the ick if a guy approached me first 🤮
Other girls might want the guy to approach
Wow... Seriously.. what type of man U usually approach?
I definitely prefer when a woman makes the first move. You are right she can pick and chose but if she makes the first move shows she has at least some interest
@TheFirstMan men that I'm attracted too lol
@LunarEclipse433 yes exactly its easier for the woman to approach anyways
@Apple1996 Okay baby im waiting 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Jesus…

Lets just be smart about this, men do approach more but thats quanitity and not quality. That bark at every dog n then pick tru those that respond, then further the line how many of them actually follow trough and pursue a woman with effort? Not much, most leave scared of freaking everything they got themselves into, only mature men stay that dont wo der about silly approaching. Cause approaching is just that, approaching, but the rest requires effort. Women are also more likely to make a move when there is somethong real while men are often scared of it. Women once "hooked" by men approaching make a lot of effort for it to work. And both side need to put an effort for it to work. So stop glorfying men approaching. Women will never approach as men cause to them its not a numbers game, they go for ones that actually make them feel something besides tingling vagina.
For my generation, women don’t call to ask for a date. It will never happen. Never! But they are usually glad to be asked for a date.
Honestly times are slowly changing & although guys are mostly making first moves some girls are making moves as well. I have a upcoming date with a lovely girl & it caught me off guard when she asked me out.
Good for you man, tbh it’s nice to see both sides initiating it cause it shows social development
I suppose it depends on what you think the first move is. Back in the olden days, a woman dropped a scarf on purpose, so the gentleman would pick it up and give it to her, and then maybe start a conversation and go from there.
If you day it's flirting, it might be either, though we it's usually the woman. If you mean asking someone out as the first move, then it's usually the guy.
No it don't sometimes your waiting on the dude to approach you and he's just too damn shy so you wait, wasting the one thing no one can afford to waste time, so hey women are free from having to worry about not being lady like and see a dude you like go tell him no worries unless he's already taken but it's 21st century so express yourself!
Depends on the person. For me with women most of the time it has been the woman making the first move on me. So either they went for what they wanted or thought I was dense as hell before making the move to get it to click because I wasn't picking up on it.
I have made the first move before, but like I said above, I guess I found some aggressive women.
Because that’s the first step to see if he got balls or not
That does make a lot of sense actually
Right cause if he doesn’t have the balls to approach you, how could you expect him to protect you
To who?
Not really.
If you have the balls to do the simple act of approaching a woman, you’re more likely going to be a man and stand your ground if another man tries to start exchange punches
I beg to differ.
You’re entitled to your opinion
The girl said what she said.
If you want her to be another girl that dm’s you just say so man. But nonetheless kinda wild you talk down to women to this extent
@Danny_dan92 she's not even a girl, but keep simping buddy
I’m simping lol ok
Keep telling yourself that’s why.
It has to do with estrogen and calcium channels if I'm right, females excrete all their calcium through egg shells and milk. Although I'm not a misogynist, I do enjoy bragging how women are inferior hahaha because my мом doesn't check in on me in da ваseмeпt here. So how could women make the first move if we are the ones with overactive muscles and lovemuscles?
I've confessed and been confessed to. If I know I like or fancy someone for sure, I won't wait around pointlessly... But if a man makes the first move, especially in person and not via text, you're instantly more attractive in my eyes. It takes balls and tact to do it what with more and more social issues these days
I prefer if the man makes the first move, but I have no problem making it.
Also I would get a bit made if you (mostly a man) say (s) women can't make the first move or shouldn't; or saying no women and men are equal, they should make the first move..
(And there's no problem, and no shame in women doing so).
Technically men and correctly men.
Correctly men because quite simply if the man doesn't desire sex with the girl it isn't going to work out.
Technically men because girls tend to indicate interest or otherwise.
No, as a woman, I respect conventional roles.
I think it's fair to say probably women do more these days.
It’s not because they don’t. Every last woman I liked I approached them. Even girls I saw knew they wanted me or found me attractive. They never made the first move. Women don’t make moves. They just don’t.
It’s always the guys, guys are the ones that ask the girl out or ask the girl for the number.
Girls want masculine energy, they want a courageous man and a confident man.
Girls don't typically approach men, or most i should say.
Most players think asking girls for numbers is a numbers game so go do it.
Im still a virgin as of right now, but i just figured the reason I'm still a virgin is because I'm not asking girls out.
Whoever has less patience, feels more confident, whatever? :D
Huh?
Overwelmingly men, and for the far forseeable future it's going to be men. Relationships work best if the man takes the initative and has the leaverage.
Sounds about right to me besides one thing, women get to decide which man to keep as well.
Absolutely
Does it matter who makes the first move?
Both men and women should make the first move.
What do you mean the old way of doing this?
Toxic men with their shitty ass ideas……who gives a fuck about their old ways
Why is the that guy is the one that gets to start things…………….. no offense, we are all human beings and we all should be able to approach other human beings with the intentions to start things……. fuck all that gender roles shit, whoever created that….. so stupid honestly
I feel like women, send me soo many clues, almost to the point its like slapping some one in the face. Then I ask them out.
So formally the guy does. But it takes two to send clues and its quite obvious to jump ship eventually.
I think guys still make the first move more. But I don’t mind making the first move, either.
don't know about others... but it hasn't changed that much for me
I say women because I've never actually had a guy ask me out to my face when I've asked out several guys in person but yet none can ask me out in person but on a date the guy might make the first move
Definitely men. But as I understand it, women like it that way for the most part
As long as you get to date, it doesn't matter who makes the first move.
Guys make the first move more, but more and more girls are doing it too
seems to be more prostitutes than ever before calling themselves anything and everything all over the internet. prostitutes advertise therefore throwing themselves at any men, women, non-binary, and anything that makes a slight muscle spasm.
I think it's equal though men used to do it more often. Nowadays many seem to be afraid of being accused of harassment.
I think guys make the move more but women are starting to do it. It's probably 60 percent men and 40 percent women who make the move first
I've had like 2 girls approach me and I've approached MANY
Men because majority of women expect men to make the first move
Doesn't really matter but guys although had lot girls make first move on me good thing to I'm terrible reading the signs
Definitely men but fun fact there use to be a tradition where it was the women who would ask the men for their hand in marriage
I’ve always made the first move but lol that’s because I’m mid.
I think now it's more equal.. In my experience I always have
In my life, I have well over 95% of the time.
Motives make the first move with a woman , intentions make the first moves with a man.
Sure it'll still be this way even a full Century from now or longer, hence why there will always be more male wizards than a female Wizards
Men do, but if a woman is smart then she will make the first move!
Whoever has more attraction towards the opposite sex
I don’t make moves in person. To big a chance of being blasted on social media for daring to talk to a woman
Tinder only
It's gotta be men.
Yeah, there has been somewhat of a cultural shift tho. But maybe I’m a little biased on that take
Yeah, more women are starting to make the move more but men I think are still doing it way more I bet.
Right, there are some guys tho that don’t care to try anymore lol
And then there are girls that are confident in themselves and if they see a guy they like they go for it
That's definitely true
That’s the bias of mine 😂
Women should make the first move. If a man does it he might get hit with a sexual assault charge lol
most of the time it men
It's depends on situation
Women because they stay chasing
They stay chasing?
I meant in my opinion in the current Dating Atmosphere, yesy women r mostly doing the chasing
Yesy…
Just Go Look at Instagram when they send each other "encouraging" memes about Dating everyday. U dont See men being Desperate Like that
We aren’t. We also know why women post thirst traps.
Yeah soo there's Ur answer. Men dont give af
Attraktive ones that is
Some do, some don’t. It’s subjective, it all depends on each individual’s own personality and their experiences
Well why do they Post?
Who?
Thirst traps. I, for one, dont know
Girls post thirst traps cause they want to receive compliments and to be validated.
Which cracks me up cause many girls that do it put captions that exemplify insecurity.
Nothing wrong with wanting validation and all but at the same time don’t try and pretend like you’re not trying to be validated etc.
Also, this is how women seek mates/flings these days. Put themselves out there, then they pick and choose what guys to entertain once guys have reacted to their thirst trap.
This is also why I’ve seen many girls fail in relationships and I’ve even seen some girls that get engaged fuck it up. Cause they keep posting thirst traps even while being engaged, and truth of the matter is. We guys aren’t stupid. If we see the girl we’re with doing that, we immediately think we aren’t good enough
Men because most women simply don't have to
Men almost always make the first move
I’m gonna say women.
Interesting
Always men, seldom women.
Agreed
Mostly men!
