Hey, yer age is showing, cover it up ... quick, before anyone notices.

LOL, just kidding but here is one example you might find interesting.

My daughter was born in 1991. She grew up with three big brothers.
As her parents we always reinforced her sense of self-worth. We taught her good decision skills.
She initiated contact with every boy she brought home for us to meet.
She has always been strong willed and sure of herself.
We did not push traditional thinking on any of our children with the exception of my boys which were taught to always respect the women in their lives.
Traditional thinking of my childhood limited how many 'girls' came on to me. Traditions change.
In todays 'game' I think it isn't such a thing as it was when we were younger. Mainly because...traditions change.

Some of it has to do with the instant gratification mentality of the society we are part of now.
That 'go get it' attitude trumps tradition.

Men, on the other hand, have been subjected to many news stories concerning harrassment and she saids.
It throw out the signal for men to wait until they are approached or they will get sued.

So, men sit in the sidelines waiting to be approached by a lady as a defensive measure against potential harrassment lawsuits or worse.
Ya really can't blame them either.
Just look at the headlines in the past five or ten years...

Oh god, why?


99% of everything i post, is tongue-in-cheek.
As in, life's too short to be taken seriously.

I laugh at myself with regularity.

And, for people who can't laugh at themselves...
Yeah, i'll laugh at them too.


It's all good.

I would chase you, with a lasso

Thanks Tom, and I see your point. I don't blame them, I think I would be nervous or scare as well.

Hmmm... Guess it's time to practice making that first call again

And you don't think I don't get that?

Your posts make me laugh and help me lighten up... I like that!

I hope you're talking to Rock

I'm thinking there are a few I'd like to chase around with a lasso, I know of at least 3 that would probably let me catch them... hopefully not too soon though, that'd spoil the fun

Whew!

Glad to know.

Can you actually believe, 'some people' think i'm all serious
an' stuff?

If you're chasing River, i get the royalties
on video distribution.

Lol, yeah they think I am too... wait, I am

Here's to not taking everything so serious!

I think it would depend on if the person were attractive.

I have a quiet confidence when it comes to pursuing a man sharpens my crossbow arrows

Ain’t talking about River, I would chase you with a slingshot and there would be no videos

How about what happens to me? Just today, in the supermarket a guy grabs my cart and wants to know my name. I only told my first name but not my last, when he asked. Why do people do that? I felt uncomfortable.

I would have rolled my trolley over his toes

The only women who chase me are law officers.

i love it. make her or you do the work, want me take me while i sit back and relax

I love it to be honest.. doesnt happen as much as it did when i was younger

who cares who messages who first as long as the end result suits both

I wish they would.

I was a product of school changes. But I lived in an area where there wasn't a lot of kids. Most of the time, I had to be self entertaining. But I was a shy kid. By age 12, I really had no concept on making friends. Put into a school where everyone knew each other from day one, and you get a kid that is on the outside looking in. Going from there to a rural high school, with the same scenario, you get a kid that can hardly talk to anyone. He doesn't know how to.

Sprinkle in girls that expect boys to make the first move, you get one boy that has no clue how to even strike up a conversation with a girl. By age 18, you've set that in concrete.

Being self entertaining, it becomes easy to go against social trends. Music? Meah, just noise to me. Clothing? Just something to cover your bod. Sports? Motorcycling is a individual event. A team was just something I was shut out of. I know how to be in a big group and not say one word to anyone. I learned to do things that, by looking at it, you'd expect I'd need help. It floors people when I tell them I did it by myself.

Women think they can communicate with almost anyone. Not so. For a fact, I know that. It's been said that women like tall men. You couldn't prove that to me, and I'm 6" 3". Guess you expect that tall men are aggressive. I am, with everything EXCEPT women.

The few that I ever dated, they made the first move. I can honestly say, that there are VERY few that will. At age 62, I still don't know if women think of me as good looking, or the elephant man at the circus. Women lay claim to being nurturing, but I don't believe it.

I believe, that women are too much into themselves. They rarely ever allow anybody into their circle. I'm not one to force my way in. For them to ask, no, they won't.

Should they be aggressive? Yes. Will they? No.
