Do women refuse to approach out of fear of rejection?

[kembguy]

It seems like they don't want their ego hurt but are more than happy to turn men down

Yes

Maybe

Neither. Women don’t make the first move because they don’t have to. People don’t make more of an effort than is necessary to achieve a desired outcome. With limited exceptions, women don’t have to exert themselves to meet men. Men go to them in droves. The more particular they are, the more they have to exert themselves to present themselves to higher status men, but it’s still all very passive. Dressing better and using makeup to appear more attractive. Selecting colleges and even careers that put them around high status men. Joining social clubs and taking up pastimes that put them together with men.
The fact that we are hearing and seeing an increasing number of women crying “Why aren’t men approaching me anymore?” after years of them criticizing and demeaning men who do, and more recently flat out ruining men’s lives and even putting them in prison for having the gall to approach a woman… well, it’s clear that they will soon have to work harder than they have in the past. Because good, intelligent, self respecting men aren’t playing their dangerous games anymore.

Absolutely. Women avoid risk and/or conflict like the plague. They get away with it only because 90% of men think with their dicks.

What pisses me off about this is when women you claim to be all about equality refuse to actually put in the equal work, as for women who consider themselves "traditional", well I guess it's fine for them cause they aren't being hypocritical

[kembguy]

*who claim to be

[Anonymous]

I don’t want to have to be the one to do it. I want him to prove he’s confident enough, has the guts and social skills to do it and actually shows that he’s interested in me. If not I’m not interested. The guy will persue me, not the other way around.

[kembguy]

Lmao so men have to go to challenges only to approach you? And what you have to go through? How do YOU prove yourself? Whats so good about you?

[kembguy]

Lol I busted your ass 🤣

[Sunshinelips]

Both sexes have a fear of rejection. Sometimes you just have to think ‘fuck it’ and go for it. Just expect a no to save the hurt.

[kembguy]

Have you approached

[Anonymous]

They like to say that. But honestly it's more that they know they don't need to. They know most men will do the approaching. This is why some women get angry about the men who won't. Because women do not want this increasing. Nobody LIKES putting themselves in a poaition to be rejected. And most women if they were forced to endure the amount of direct rejection the avg. man does they would just not date.

Why isn't there a 'no' option for this poll?

[kembguy]

Express it with a comment, why do you think no?

[EmmaMary]

As always there will be those who do, and those who don't.

[kembguy]

That's a very generalizing answer, you can say that for everything.

[EmmaMary]

Absolutely, but it's perfectly true.

[kembguy]

So what rate? 80/20 60/40 90/10

[EmmaMary]

How about 50/50!

[kembguy]

That's too many women then

[RavVid]

I think it is deeper than that. It is more like they feel like a slut if they do..

[kembguy]

Nah, that will only be valid for hookups

[RavVid]

A girl asking a guy out is not asking him for sex but it is adjacent :) He has more chance of sex with her than another girl.

There is a loss of female power in her invitation. Girls will say they could never ask a man out, in the sense of making a sexual offer to a man.

[Abbycado]

Lol, sure. In your head. XD

[kembguy]

Tell me the reason then

[kembguy]

Nothing? I won the argument
