Do you believe in the saying "if a man wanted to he would"?

[Monalisa77]

I mean... What if he thinks the girl is just going to reject him and he's been through a lot of rejection?

Yes

Depends on the situation

No

This is probably the single BIGGEST mistake women make. Not truly understanding how guys think (maybe some simply not caring how guys think). There are 3.5 billion women on the planet. In THAT respect no woman is special (I'm not saying a wo. an isn't special). So a woman has to demonstrate her "value" to a man (well you don't have to but how are you otherwise supposed to distinguish yourself from all the other women). Now MOST women do this by manipulation. Which works in the short term but fails long term when the guy realizes he's been duped. This is OK for most women as most women don't want actual relationships. Most woman are sports women. They don't want ANY guy. They just want to repeatedly prove that they can get any guy. But the minority of women do want actual healthy relationships. The problem is this women also tend to have standards. They want a guy to choose them, not trick him. So they are ALWAYS at a disadvantage to the overly aggressive manipulating women.

So when you say "if a guy wanted to he would". No that's not true. Because most the time he's been given absolutely no reason to want to do anything.

[Monalisa77]

Exactly. Is this the case if they know if a woman likes them but doesn't show it?

Yes but now we're getting into all sorts of other variables. How he sees her vs. How he sees himself. If she is interested in him How much is she interested. Etc. This is why interactions between men and women will always be kind of fluid. One thing said or not said can change the dynamic. Both genders (assuming they're quality people and there's never a full guarantee of that) just want a person who going to value them as much as they value that person. And you're always going to have that, I want to give but I'm afraid if I give to much they'll take it as they control the relationship. It's silly we all know but it happens regardless. Because we've all been on the losing end at some point in our life.

Twice now I've seen him and he noticed me first when he didn't have to? ↗

[CaptainOverthink]

Yes and no.

I meab it should be refrased to a more genderneutral way.
"If you want it enough to work for it then you will"

But at the same time this is not at all very true because most can want something so bad that when they don't get it they feel like dying..
Obviously, our wills and wants has less to do with our capacity to leave the comfortzone to chase after our goals and more to do with being dreamy and leeching on the fantasy rather than exploring if what we want is actually what we think it is.

[CaptainOverthink]

We confuse our willpower with our propensity to make sacrifices.

Accidently clicked yes. The correct answer is just depends on the situation and the person. If you notice they are quite shy or reclusive then use your own mind to realise they probably aren't the type just be bold with how they feel for a girl.

[Arik_jade]

Well, it depends upon situation and guys nature... in some girls need indicative from guy first... but if guy is not approaching, she would not know whether he likes her... it not necessarily to directly approach and say i love you 😜😜😜... but you should start showing interest in her..
