I know that some of the women are thinking, "I'm the one that goes up to men." Well if thats the case, then good for you and post it on here, because you're a rare breed.
Now to all of the women who expect a special recognition for having a vagina, you're living a false world! Why do you think you have special privileges?

A man who will initiate a conversation is automatically seen as having the favorable qualities required to start a conversation. In other words, a woman will be more likely to perceive a man as strong and assertive if he initiates the conversation.
Oh, and I initiate almost all of my conversations with men.
Respect of a woman reflects the character of the man more than it glorifies the gender of a woman, because respect in and of itself is rare and precious. A man should treat women well, and women should treat men well.

Oh my, my, my! Chivalry is dead...DEAD I tell you.
BloodSanctum, it's a very archaic belief that the male should approach the female. Today, however, that is no longer the case. No woman must stand back if she wishes to introduce herself to a member of the opposite sex. The only rub is the EGO and the utterly nonsensical belief of female allure!
It's been going on for centuries but there's no need to be rude about it! Think about the flip side of your question for a moment...if I were to say, Now to all of the men who expect special recognition for having a penis, you're living in a false world! Why do you think you have special privileges? That would be offensive, rude and a turn-off.
We are all prisoners of the past in some ways and this is one of those ways. Men supposedly have a reputation for shrugging things off when a woman, faced with the same circumstances, may not be able to. Hence the fear of rejection enters the fray. It goes on and on...I think you know what I mean and where I'm headed. Enough said?

That is just how it has always been. In the past women were suppose to me sweet and very polite, which means not approaching a man. If they did then they were seen as prostitutes or something along those lines. In the modern world and thanks to the women's movement, I now agree with you. Why should men always feel they have to approach women that they are interested in? Why do women not go up and begin talking with a man they see as interesting and attractive? It is only fair, we should not always have to be the ones who have to "make the first move". I wish more women would then they can feel the same nervousness that we men have felt for hundreds of years.

There's no prewritten plan on how to think or act, or even what to say. A woman sees this man and she doesn't even know what to say to him, but she figures if he's interested in getting to know her then maybe he will initiate the conversation. Maybe he'll have a clue on what to say. She's nervous, thinking because he hasn't said a word that maybe he's not interested in talking to her.
Simple reason: Lack of communication, and too many assumptions about one another before getting to really know each other

Why do you think you have special privileges, just because you have a penis? That might impress other men, but its time for you to graduate from the boy's locker room to the real world.
I'm really sorry someone's vagina flattened your male ego; but you probably had it coming (or didn't have it coming, as the case may be...).
Most women are too busy doing someone else's job (usually a man's, plus their own) to notice how cute you are today. Just because you didn't get to score with Miss Hotty (with a nasty disposition), doesn't mean that there is not a perfectly wonderful woman out there who would enjoy being Miss Hotty4U. She might have a few flaws, but its not like you don't, right?
Get real, I mean, "Get Real!" Move up from the fantasy me!me!me! fake boob job, fake lips, fake hair, "look but don't touch cuz I'm all fake" Barbie doll woman, to a real woman who lets a real man make the first move.
Now if you're just looking for sac time, take a twenty and go downtown. You can't expect real women to just lay there like a copy of Playboy while you enjoy your premature fantasies...

Because we're thinking the same thing the opposite way, am I being offensive by doing it? In my past experiences, man doesn' like women for being vulgar and desperate

They're conditioned to wait for men to make the first move, that's why. I don't condone it but it's true.
