I haven't got that problem I do take initiative, but guys feel intimidated on their manlyhood when you ask them on a date and insist on paying etc. (the person who invites, pays... In my world at least).

Jeez. Men!

No accounting for the rules they live by that they dont even tell us about.

I don't think the question implys that you are easy, but guys are always hopeful

English is not my native language, and the first time a guy asked me why on Earth I could still be single I misunderstood it as an insult and slapped him across the face.

He just stared at me like I was crazy and then explained the true meaning. I felt obliged to buy him a milkshake as an apology (and frankly, I didn't know a lot about America and was afraid I would get sued if I didn't show some good will).

I'm still not totally convinced about the true meaning of it.

They're college boys. It doesn't take a whole lot to threaten their manlyhood.

Well I think its part compliment and part hopeful that she is easy but then I don't know for sure any more than you do.

Anyhooo.. it's more of a compliment than anything. It means they think you are a 'good catch'.. and how could not possibly have been snapped up by now.

That's my interpretation as well.

Too bad it's been used a million times as a pick up line.

In Denmark it's an insult - but we use sarcasm a lot too, so most compliments can actually be hidden insults as well.

Ohh.. haha

No really.. here.. well... there in the USA (and UK) . it means they think you are great (in whatever way they see you)...
and they cannot believe some lucky man has not already nabbed as his lady.

It's a compliment..

No more face smacking..
