It seems like more and more lately I've noticed or heard from my guy friends and my own personal experience is that even if they really like a girl, they'll wait for her to initiate or make a move. I understand girls can ask out guys as well, but I just think more men should stop being scared and go out for what they want. Granted, I do ask out guys occasionally, but most the time I just wait for them. Unfortunately, the type of guys that usually ask myself or my friends out seem to be the over confident or cocky assholes. Men, are you really that afraid of rejection that you can't ask out the girl you like?

Thank you, I would like an answer to this question too please. The age of man is evaporating.

have you ever asked a girl out... no? its really nerve racking

coz they don't want get rejected anymore! i.e. what we EQUALITY!

lol Because they get chatted up by women on the way to walking over to you...

I think they want us to act like the pro. haha. What I mean is that they think that we think that they are just using us, sjo they let you make the first move to show that they aren't.

If a guy made a move and a girl rejected them, the guy's ego would be hurt, and that is one thing guys need the most! The need their ego to be up so girls would be intrested them!

Because we men don't want to lose what we have if the girl thinks that we are moving too fast. You two should talk about moving to the next step. Or just ask him out

Because if we get turned down it hurts so its easier just to not approach especially for shy guys.

Its kinda sad. I thought this was the 21st cetury

Why are so many men afraid to make a move these days? (Page 3)

  I get the feeling that 'synmar' and 'jennifer8' have different definitions of "the age of man".

  I just fancy an "alpha male", which seems to be a dying breed of man these days.

  I know, I can't believe some girls today. THe right wing anti feminist " He has to approach me" mentality has infected women young and old and the backlash is that men are getting sick of us and ignoring us.

  Well I wouldn't say I'm 'right wing anti-feminist', but I like the guy to approach me because I have old fashioned values; I still like the chair pulled out for me, the door held open etc. I think feminism killed all those lovely old things men used to do for us and changed their opinion of women completely. It is SUCH a shame! :(

  Comprehensible. What if I told you that you can't be perfect anyway? Once you've reached a certain point you're focusing on the next goal. How can you ever be perfect? My motto is: “I'm perfect in my imperfections!” Take it or leave it. Perhaps it's time to embrace your charismatic, non-perfect side. With more self acceptance grows the acceptance of others. You attract what you feel, not what you think or wish for.
