At what point do men give up on chasing a woman that they find attractive ? What makes a man decide his efforts are no longer worthwhile ? If a woman is genuinely interested in a man .. she will stop running and let him catch her .. true/false ? If both of you like each other (and are confident that is the case) ..is the chase still necessary? ... why not just take the plunge! Of course , there are women who like to chase .. Feel free to give your perspective on chasing if you are a chaser

At what point do men give up on chasing a woman that they find attractive ? .....When she turns around and says Help Police! What makes a man decide his efforts are no longer worthwhile ? .....When he finds out she is married. If a woman is genuinely interested in a man .. she will stop running and let him catch her .. true/false ? .....False because if she likes him she won't be running at all. If both of you like each other (and are confident that is the case) ..is the chase still necessary? ... why not just take the plunge! .....Yes sometimes because the chase can add spice and intrigue Of course , there are women who like to chase .. Feel free to give your perspective on chasing if you are a chaser .....I like to think of myself as a chaser but would get scared if she stopped because I would get terrified she would not like me if I caught her.

I think it's pretty common for one person to be more into the other person. It's less common for both partners to be equally invested, which is when relationships typically occur. I think the one more invested typically does the chasing, be that the man or the woman. I've done my share of chasing, although I much prefer to be the chasee.

I thought the chase for men was more about the “challenge” .. I am sure there is a build up of intrigue that results but not entirely sure there is a lot of spice when she Is in “undecided “ mode . I can’t believe you are scared poetry !!!! You are a fearless ghost hunter .. If you are chasing a woman and she lets you catch her .. she has already decided she desires you

The only chase that I have personal knowledge of is . . . making me laugh .. I had to zoom in to make sure you were in the drivers seat

I was reading about biological chase theory which in its simplest form supports the idea that “men chase and females choose” . I wondered when a woman does the chasing .. .. Would men perceive that as a signal she has already chosen .

I think Bonnie (The Educator) is on point. It goes both ways and i think generally females have a harder time giving up the chase than the guys do because they aren't used to being rejected by guys where guys are used to being rejected on a regular basis. Yes, this is what Bonnie was saying and I've got to say I'm surprised by her boldness.

Isn’t the chase for men primarily about the thrill of a challenge and ego ?? There seems to be more pressure on men when it comes to exposing themselves to rejection .

I disagree, just look at the age old question of, "why do women put nice guys in the friend zone and chase bad boys that they know are no good for them". The chase isn't just about men chasing women, I'd say it's about 50/50.

Although some women have the confidence to chase a man .. I still believe “many” prefer the man to do the chasing . If I am right .., I get to pick a mingler for you to chase

I think women chase every bit as much as men do. I think you might be used to being chased so you never chase yourself but the reality is it's an even split.

New to me and completely amazing, when both are equally infatuated.

I don't "chase". I use a wink and a smile as a lure. If I don't "catch" anything with that, I pull up anchor and move to a new spot.
