If a woman is incapable of stepping up,
and speaking up. Then, she is anything but equal.

I can understand some of what you're saying.
But, I fail to understand, how expecting someone
to speak up equally, is an inequality.

Nobody has time to guess.



Because it's not about equality or equal rights. Why when it comes to relationships do you men bring up the equal rights card? Why not just say you would love for a woman to show interest in you?

Who speaks up first has nothing to do with equality. It has to do with having the courage to express yourself. As we mature and evolve it becomes more comfortable to do that. To place expectations on it according to gender is counterproductive and creates a battle of the sexes rather than something that needs to happen naturally.

Being a woman, I have the desire to be desired... wanting a man to make the first move doesn't have to do with anything other than wanting to feel desired. It might sound silly to most of you men, but some how that feeling is lessened when I make the first move. I want to feel like of all the women out there, he recognized me and wants to get to know me.

Love that, River!
Apart from wanting to feel cherished I also want it to go that way because I need to be able to look up to a man, to respect him. If a man is too whimpsy (lol) to woo me I don't feel cherished, but also lose my respect and I cannot be in a relationship with a guy I don't respect.
The minute I lose respect for a man, the relationship is over.
Don't know if that is just me or a common thing?


Yes... it's the same way for me. I want a strong man that isn't afraid to show me that he cherishes me and has chosen me!

In fairness to what Rock is saying, I can't expect that to happen if I'm at least not willing to give him a little nudge... I tend to not do that, something I definitely need to work on.

Yes, that's what I said earlier: we have to give the initial 'sign' that tells a man we are interested. But it has always been that way.
And yes, that can be scary, feeling like taking a risk. No one likes to feel rejected, and it takes courage and confidence.
I wasn't having a go at Rock btw. I happen to like him.
If I did offend him, I do apologize as that was not my intention at all.

It is scary... that feeling of rejection hits that core feeling of wanting to be desired. After giving numerous attempts at giving a sign not being reciprocated, it leaves you with a feeling that you're not desired by anyone... hence becoming lackadaisical in sending those signals.

Can you quote anywhere i said a single solitary word,
about 'equal rights'?

Not in my posting history.


What i did matter of factly say, was that the burden of
communication, can't be pinned on one gender.

Equality... Communicating / stepping up, is a two way
street.

Oh...
And would someone quote me,
where i said anything, even alluding
to it's solely on the woman to express an
interest?


Oh. That's right. I didn't.


Matter of fact, what i matter of factly did say,
was that it can't be pinned on one gender.

Don't get deep on me now, Eric, grmble...
To be honest, I'm not attempting to aim at all, yet.
But there might be something to it. Although my eye-hand coordination is impeccable with other things.
I could use a gun? I turned out to be real good at that, haha. (Dang, thinking about that, being at the range, I wanna go!!!!)

I f they don't like a woman, they don't DATE. her. Online or in Real life.

Comments?

So basically, every woman that is single right now it's because no man "really" wants to date her?

Wow. Sucks for them.





No! Some don't want to date.

This is in reference to women who want to date .

whoa

That seems difficult for a lot of men but it’s important to me as well. It makes a woman feel secure with her partner.

Doesn't have to be an emotional rollercoaster for her to figure it out.

I think there are many people who NEED that emotional roller-coaster to figure it out.
Too many people, IMO, have no idea who they want or the qualities in someone they would want.
They tend to fail to see the 'display' because they are more concentrated on reading the 'signs' they have convinced themselves are needed.

I am an easy person to get along with and I tend to respect people.
There are many women who find they really enjoy being around me but they convince themselves that something isn't right according to their preconceived signs.

The first thing I tell them is "You have NEVER me anyone like me before in your life" and most of the time, I am right. They actually tell me I am right.

Not many can accept me at face value because of so many times in their past they have experienced men that were not.

I can see from reading many of your posts here, you are a sincere upfront man.
That is a quality you don't find Online often.
I am sure you are being yourself.

Men are Deceitful most times. IMO
