Why is it that women?

Question

Why is it that most women don't approach guys and they wait for guys to approach them instead? (to meet them)

Answer 1

Most girls are afraid of rejection and find it intimidating to approach a man and make the first move and girls are embarrassed easily so that's also another factor. You'll never change this and if you like a girl my advice is to go for it and ask her out coz the chances of her being brave and approaching you are slim.

Answer 2

A few reasons - Women have been taught not to be too bold or they will appear 'easy' or pushy. And In nature the male is the one who pursues the female and does the courting. Women are the ones who 'select' from a line of admireres.This increases competition amongs the males and raises her worth, hence she is more likely to get a partner who feels he won "the prize" from his competitors and will then treat her like a prize. All women want that. And men want to feel that too, which is why most men won't consider having a girlfriend who has slept around or given herself to every Tom, Dick and Harry. Right?

A woman's role is the be receptive to a man and responsive to him. It works best if men are the pursuer, usually. So, if a woman is returning your glances and smiles, she is saying, "I am approachable. I am interested. Come talk to me!" If a woman acts this way she is just being feminine and so be the man and go up and talk to her. : )

Answer 3

simple answer? We're way more scared of being rejected, and can't take it as well as you guys can. We're not built to be strong enough for that. Also some girls think that if a girl approaches a guy, the guy might think the girl's easy. That's just what I've heard. I know that a lot of other girls' just do it because they're old fashion, and they think that's the way it's suppose to be. I hope that helps you.

Answer 4

In traditional roles, it is our job to be alluring, or to do the attracting, and then wait for a male suitor.

There are many women who feel comfortable being assertive and doing the aggressing, so if that's what you want or are looking for, more than likely you will run into it eventually.

The advantage of being the pursuer is that you are establishing that you are the one who is doing the "take charge". It's a really great ego-booster for men, and helps you learn what works and doesn't work with women.

Answer 5

uuhh.. I know this one... I embarrased myself the one time I ever did it and the funny thing was that I always told myself guys were always supposed to be the ones to take the lead in that respect. Go figure... I won't approach you if I'm not sure whether or not you already had a gf... you have to ascertain that by approaching me first! Won't make that mistake again lol... oh well, now I have a bf and he approached me 2ce by ascertaining that lol, he learned faster than I did.

Answer 6

It's just how it is and it's that way for most animals as well. We wait to see which one has the confidence, courage to approach me, get me, try to get to know me. It's sexy when a guy approaches a girl not when a girl approaches a guy.

Answer 7

And then they can call YOU thirsty?! There are a few ladies that will let a man know that they find them attractive. Those are the ones I usually date; the other ones are usually too much trouble, because they don't know what they want; just that they don't want to take a chance on appearing desperate, clumsy, or slutty. They want somebody to entertain them...If they need that much prodding before you even start a relationship, do you think they're going to get easier to deal with as time goes on? Hell no!

Answer 8

A girl that feels great about herself would have no problem approaching you.She would be a girl that would be honest,fun,exciting and caring.I agree, i dont think many girls are daring enough to approach men, maybe they dont have the confidence they need.The girl that has the confidence to approach you in my opinion, would make you one lucky guy!

Answer 9

Some females feels like thats the way it's suppose to be. Besides females hate rejection. Men would take a chance and could deal with it; but rejection breaks a female dowwwwwwn!

Answer 10

Men are supposed to be the hunters, it's instinct. Women look for that quality in a man because it shows confidence in himself. Confidence is a must have in successful people. In other words, women who are looking for a stable man who will be able to provide for them look first at his ablity and confidence in "hunting" her. Keeping her is a whole other subject.
