Why don't women approach or show interest in men?

[Somegirl678]

because its not socially acceptable for a woman to stare at a man. like what kind of woman does this? im sure you would imagine a slightly trashy girl. because women consider this pervy. i do look at men sometimes because i dont care about how i come across to other people, if i like a guy then he will probably be able to tell. i know im an exception because most women dont do this. i try to slightly hide my attraction though because one time i looked at a guy in public and he turned himself away from me rudely, he was on his own too. lol

Because we don’t know if the men we approach will decide to devalue us or look at us as ‘desperate’ just for making the first move. So it’s easier to just not.

Because a lot of man's talks to her and she love to feel that she is wanted by a man and when she sees a lot of men loves her she feels secure and she does not talk with a man because she feels shy about the man she loves or she doesn't care about you I see that man give power to the woman when they all talk with her now what should happen is to reverse the game, no man talk with women and they need to try to get us because we are the reword

The most common reason I hear is they don't want to 'look desperate', which is absurd on many levels. So I guess it's acceptable for guys to look desperate, since we are tasked with approaching 9/10 times? I nm hi
Ladies, it is NEVER desperate to show interest in someone you like

6 out of 7 men I’ve dated, I have approached first and shown interest. I don’t like being approached by men, it makes me uncomfortable, I’ve always liked to be the one doing the approaching. That way I can avoid men who are not my type, and go straight for the men who are my type.

I've always been shy, which I realize is a problem for shy guys too. I had more confidence when I was highschool. I aksed out 4 different guys and all of them rejected me, oh well. Once I became an adult I said that's it, I'm not asking anyone out anymore. Then I met my first boyfriend and he was kinda shy too. He didn't really ask me out, he gave me his number and said "call me if you want to go sometime". So I did.

Just because nobody approaches or shows interest in you, doesn’t mean that we don’t do it for men that actually have something to offer.

because thats how society formed women to be and now things are finally changing

A more enlightening question might be "Ladies, have you ever asked a guy out?" and the responses might have some stories in there.

Cuz either she’s not interested or too shy

Most men are assholes.
