Why does he have to approach her? We're all equal now right? Oh, I know: ages of tradition that used to help the species procreate. Perhaps that is why it was your natural assumption that the man should make the first move. The state of society seems to be at odds with many of those traditions these days. Anybody who tries to go at it like your average cave man, cowboy, knight in shining armor, or romeo might be in for a rude awakening...I could see how some guys might get tired of getting knocked down after awhile. Maybe decide to stop actively courting women, since it doesn't really work for them. He doesn't check out, he just stops trying to run the maze to nowhere...

I know, right. If I'm honest with a woman about my "average" salary, or sees me drive a pos car, she will never give me a chance to say Hi.
is there any chance that YOU feel inadequate because of this crap, that YOU don't feel like you measure up, and that you are projecting that onto a convenient scapegoat? that because you feel you don't hit the bar set by the commercials you watch, and that those same commercials tell you that vagina (notice i don't say "a girlfriend", because that's clearly not the goal, is it?) is a reward for hitting the right marks, that you don't even make the effort to approach a woman? and then shift the blame for your bad feels onto them?
just curious.

Acually I have a 3500sqft house, good job, have a small business on the side, have a nice truck... It's very easy to get a woman. All I have to do is show her what I'm working with and the deal is done.

That's what I was implying, I could be abusive, Mormon, ugly, etc. with the lifestyle I have, most women would kiss my ass and do whatever it takes to live with me. Have a new car, go out to eat 5 nights a week.. i afford my lifestyle because I don't feed into what a woman hasto say to me to get her way.
Unless if they were raised in a richer and more sucessful family, they move up to the next bracket or class of man

It's alright. If all he has going for him is his assets, he won't get too far. Me? I look for an actual personality. You know, someone who's more than their bank account, truck, house, boat, etc.

To be honest with you, the never ending babble about absolutely nothing in general bursts my arse to the point i go into a trance eventually leading to a complete shutdown...I suppose it's like a safety valve system at a Nuclear facility..Shutdown before meltdown.

I know right? the useless babble is just SO annoying. I mean, like my BFF Tomoko told me the other day that she was sitting down with her new boyfriend at some Ramen place in Shinjuku, and he just wouldn't shut up! He didn't talk about about anything but himself, and poor tomo-chan was bored to tears! He just kept BLABBING on and she was too polite to tell him to stuff it! Oh, speaking of stuffing I got this great new recipe from my supervisor at work. We should TOTALLY try it, I hear it's totes delish!

Someone got his needs met.
So . . . Time to shut the door.

Me too. Hate endless useless babble.
Also not fond of needy. Men tend to be needy IMO. As long as they get THEIR needs met, they're generally happy. It's when you want something from them that the problems start.

Useless babble is irritating to some, but "welcomed" by others.
