Why Men Aren’t Approaching Women Anymore
Men aren’t approaching women like they used to, but it’s not just about confidence. Guys don’t want to be seen as creepy, and women don’t want to look like they’re “chasing.” The result? A dating freeze where no one makes a move. Here’s what’s really going on… and how we can fix it.
I’ve run into this all too often. I think the MeToo movement has a lot to do with this.
I agree! Today’s modern dating is a bit of cold water 🚿 scenario! But I’ve learn that all you have to say is, excuse! Hi, I’m ____ I wanted to come and say hi, you look really nice today, what your name? So on and so forth! It’s a pleasure. And go from there 🤷🏾♂️
Women: “NO”
Men: “okay”
Women: “Why isn’t he chasing me after i said no?”
Men: °______°
I got that warm welcome-leave me alone. Right after watching this video, I knew exactly what to do… walk away and carry on. It’s like she saw me, looked at me and smiled. But when I said good morning she said nothing and ignored me. lol so I walked away and continued my path without hesitation 😂.
Point is I got rejected and it did sting 🐝 but then after walking away from her rejection I felt so much better about myself knowing that I actually did something with out fear despite being rejected 🙅♀️.
Define clear signals. I have seen what some women consider obvious signals. They aren’t. Not by a long shot.
I forget just where I saw it, but there was a video of women trying to interpret what other women were signaling.
Most got it wrong about half the time.
I did that & asked her out, she said probably not but she still glances at me when we’re in the gym at the same time 😂
Does she wear headphones
If it wasn’t outright dangerous to make a move nowadays, there might still be moves to make. A simple solution would be the woman starting a conversation with the man. No subtle signs, just an honest and decent approach. If you want something (or someone in that case) it is your responsibility to persue your goal. That is at least my point of view.
It’s not a “freeze”: it’s more like a Mexican stand-off with invisible guns and ammo.
Most guys are fed up approaching and dating to get dumped after 2 or 3 months or worse find out the woman they’d been dating was hooking up with her fwb the entire time, maybe still had an ex she was seeing and hadn’t told them about.
for the dudes—clear signals: double-triple glances, eye contact followed by a submissive dip of her chin down (she’s feminine and is feeling overwhelmed), she orbits you repeatedly as she’s finding excuses for you to talk to her and is hoping you pick up on her hints.
not clear signals or playing games: a super side look and walks off into the distance (she’s fishing for attention/validation), overly baits u w her body (some is fine and natural ), gives u what u want and then gets another guy in the vicinity to make u compete (hard attention and validation lol)
but in the end, it’s for men to have the courage to step up and and go after what they want in life. be discerning, once u notice the pattern pick up on the ones who are ego based versus the ones who are genuinely trying to connect.
as to the points that women had spent years saying they don’t want to be approached and are now backtracking. they made a mistake, forgive them. we acknowledge and just course correct.
Some of it is so many options with Internet, and not wanting to be inappropriate, and usually they all have boyfriends.
It’s pretty simple actually.
It’s because “the worst she can do is say no” is no longer the case.Too many women find pleasure in rejecting, shaming and humilating guys for even trying to start a convo. They are plain cruel, vile and disrespectful for no reason.
Now guys see this and assess wether or not it is worth the risk and come to the logical conclusion that it is in fact not.
Courtney I asked a lady who works at the grocery store, what first question ❓ to I asked is going to the pizza place next door to the store and I just get a salad
Meanwhile I’ve gone first and caught false harassment accusations despite being very careful and approaching in an open foyer. She needs to FIND ME as a result and living my remaining years is OK too.
Because I don’t want to be on the Me 2 movement for telling a woman she is pretty
It’s been like this forever. As a high school freshman, I remember my first (and last) dance. Girls on one side and boys one the other while some girls danced. I could only take 15 minutes and left.
As a man it’s incredibly difficult making the first move on a woman, because you don’t want to come across as a creep and a pervert, but if you just say to her “excuse me, I just want to say you’re absolutley beautiful” if she says “thank you” to you, at least you know that she’s probably a nice person, and if she doesn’t say thank you, then you know she’s an immediate red flag.
If she does say thank you to your compliment, ask her what her name is, and if she gives you her name and asks you what your name is? There’s a chance that she’s into you, but if you ask what her name is and she doesn’t ask you what your name, she’s not interested in you, but at least you know she’s probably a nice person.
Their egos are overinflated, their entitlement is through the roof, their standards are absurd, their emotions are their God, their taste in men is ridiculous, and their attention span is completely gone.
Maybe women should make it less impossible for men to talk to them and more men will approach them.
You’re too nice to these incels Courtney. It has nothing to do with cultural changes, or women being mean. We men just need to simply man up & overcome our shyness. The digital era doesn’t help, but it’s all about us just being shy. It’s a hard concept especially for us introverted/suburban-raised men, but please don’t listen to the men trying to put it on women. Saying “Oh y’all said leave us alone & we listened”, like they ever had the guts to approach in the first place
Sometimes women don’t know what they want, they like to speak in opposites, Courtney. Wishing you a super Saturday 👌🏻
