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 biggrin waving

.....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.

-When the chase is counterproductive.

What makes a man decide his efforts are no longer worthwhile ?

-Ever hear of the Roadrunner vs. Coyote?

If a woman is genuinely interested in a man .. she will stop running and let him catch her .. true/false ?

-A bit of a chase can be good.

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!

-Some chase can be fun.

Of course , there are women who like to chase .. Feel free to give your perspective on chasing if you are a chaser biggrin waving

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. waving

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 :heart: waving

that makes a lot of sense Bonnie .waving .. 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 :thumbsup: sad2 her boldness.

waving are you sure you have that completely right about rejection Devo ... or is she wanting you to show her how much effort you are prepared to put in to win her attention and prove you are worthy . 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.

are you sure they chase bad boys .. having a preference for bad boys does not necessarily mean they are doing the chasing . 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 tongue2

If I thought you were right then point me in the direction and i will chase but unfortunately i don't think you're right. 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.

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.

Not what I see Bonnie saying to be honest...
Your analysis on rejection is not correct either.
