Should Women Ask Men Out?

I think there are some good topics in would you? Have you?

hmm well see I think this is great. I was born in 1965. However, we are now in 2015 and single, and if we don't want to be single, maybe we need to be open to doing things differently? I'm guessing there are many things you don't still do the same ways as you would have done in the 60s and 70s.

Actually too, during that time, wasn't that when it started to become this great liberation of women taking control, asking for what they want, defining themselves and the types of relationships they wanted, etc? I remember my mom saying "good girls don't call boys" in the late 70s early 80s. But the girls sure were calling boys, asking them to dance, etc (even the "good" ones). I don't think that changes a man being a man or a woman being a lady.

 

lol!

 

I don't chase women but these were highly attractive sought after women.

lol @ you moving goal posts

Offline I need more than 2 hands. I've chronicled some of my interactions with women on here years ago.

Women aren't really different from men.

 

Some things are timeless. I have enough interaction other places to know that what I seek is not impossible.

 

I agree!i was born in 64 (say it isn't so) ...there have been times when I was over confident and turned down after letting someone know I was interested...shocked I tell you!!! I am still very confident and would ask someone out if I was in a position to do so...why people both men and women get their feelings hurt over something so preliminary as a first date is hard for me to understand

 

Really? I may have to check that out.

One of the benefits of being turned down is that you at least have an answer, even if it isn't the one that you wanted. Like the old saying goes, "You miss 100% of the shots that you don't take."

Plus it makes you stronger. Rejection still hurts but at least you know that if someone isn't interested it isn't the end of the world.

 

That's the way I look at it. It used to be that women didn't work outside the home and weren't expected to go to college but those things have changed dramatically over the years as well. As society changes peoples' expectations are naturally going to change with it.

I completely understand what you are saying and I have a tendency to lean that way myself. However, I sure notice an awful lot of women complaining about men and/or being single and yet they aren't willing to do anything differently than they always have.

I think if what you are doing works and you have what you want in your life - great. If not, maybe it's time to take a look at doing things differently.

 

Well okay.

I guess you an' me are just different.

You gotta live how you see fit; I must do the same. Do what works for you.

(that last line though - we definitely see things differently)

 

This is a really good point! Often it has nothing to do with you too.

 

No one takes a jab quite like Lippy

You gotta respect that....and be prepared to eat a few of hers later

 

So often it's a situation where it's in passing too and you may never have another chance. I know for me, I often don't appear to be approachable. Maybe I'm with kids or in the "mom mode" and sortof give off the vibe of not being available. I've thought about making up a card and just handing it to someone LOL

 

Was it a jab? I took it to mean that he thought she must be lying about her age - no way she could be 50! (as in it was meant to be a compliment)
