Why women don't woo men as men woo women?

Question

women seem shy/slow to initiate love/relationship

Answer 1

Apart form gender stereo types-women don't need to woo men, Guys are easy!!!

Answer 2

Because of society, the media, socialization from parents and the nature of men and women, that men are the pursuers in relationships.

The men are the (dominant species) the ones that ask the women on the date, the ones that initiate the romance, and the ones that also propose marriage. Now, women do this too but because of tradition, society and the way we are socialized it is more accepted for men to be the pursuers than the women. Women want to feel that they are beautiful and want to be pursued by men because it reiterates the fact. AND the men buy the flowers and the candy and open doors to reiterate that feeling, as well it is a macho thing. You don't see women fussing over men like that, and even if they did the men would pretend not to like it no matter if they did or not. It is as - David Suzuki says - 'the nature of things'.

Answer 3

On a basic instinct, females select males on their abilities to take care for their progenitors whether as males, they just want to disseminate the most their seeds and it's all unconsciously of course.
As for humans in general, the man proposes and the woman disposes since the dawn of time. But we are seeing some changes as women take charge more in certain cultures.

As for my opinion, only when our salaries will be equal between men and women (even though we have maternity leave) and that men can experience childbirth and periods will I want to start making an effort in opening doors for them, picking them up or buying them chocolate...I mean, it's the least they can do to show us how they appreciate us.

Answer 4

Traditionally, it's been the men to do the chasing. Mom always said a man chases a woman until she catches him. I think women are just fearful of rejection (even when already in a relationship) as well as the idea that they may appear 'loose'.

Answer 5

I don't think all women are that way. North American and European women are more bold in initiating the courting. Women of other cultures may not pursue the courting because they worry about what their family or friends may think (shame, criticism, losing face, religious believes). It's not that women are shy. Maybe a small number maybe shy but not all.

Answer 6

Because a lot of women think it's too forward and a lot of guys reinforce this idea! Women are also perceived culturally as having a lower sex drive and this affects people's behaviors as to what they think is and isn't expected of them.

Answer 7

Romantic coursthip is typically dictated by society and their standards. In US culture it is thought women should be coy, sweet, and submissive - where as the man should be bold, brazen and masculine. That's not always the way it goes though. I courted my husband. He was the shy/slow one. We've been married 4 years and I don't regret breaking out of the mold :D

Answer 8

I guess that's your own opinion and experiences. I "wooed" my men, I've picked them up for first dates with roses, paid for a few beverages etc. its all on the relationship and the desire to attract i guess. But i definately prefer to be wooed, it makes me feel spoiled and cared for.

Answer 9

S'funny, I can't remember the last time I was wooed or hooed or booed or any other kind of ooed. Crude, dude.

Answer 10

Because women are usually looking for a commitment and most men just want a roll in the hay
