Men and the internet (16)
well someone is doing something wrong... and if youre doing something right the women have the choice...not the men....

"the current ratio of men to women" Well, men are more pro-active...not as subtle - 'I want a woman so i'll go and get one'. Also, men do find it much more difficult to exist as a single...women who have suffered can be loathe to jump back into a realtionship for a long time.
"that men drive the direction of the relationship" Depends...and let's face it, some women like a man to make a few decisions! Swings and roundabouts I think on that one.
"in most society men are expected to initiate, and thus often have have the luxury of choice......." Men can certainly choose to initiate and offer themselves, but the women can choose whether or not to accept such initiative! I've always thought that women can afford to sit back and wait for the men to come knocking...see above!

An ascertive woman drives the attraction quotient up 10 fold
------ This thread is Archived ------
From the relationships I have witnessed, the woman ends up looking attractive only as a date and lover, but not for a long term relationship.
I mean, lets face it, it is not easy for a woman to walk-up to a man, compliment him, then ask him for a date.
Very few women (at least the decent ones that i know), would be this bold.

I don't mind who iniates. End-result is what matters
I don't mind who leads. The path is what matters
I don't mind what the destination is. The journey is what matters

just my personal opinion ,
that way of thinking is archaic and real outdated for todays society.
No job is restricted from either gender, education is no longer gender bias, and equal rights has come a long way. the
process of judging/choosing someone you think is suitable not perfect just suitable is a chore. No longer can the assumptions be made, he has a job, she can coo, he can do household maintenance, she can garden. these stereotypes have long ago been discarded.
The idea you originally posted The mans place or how'd you say it? C-n-P "that men drive the direction of the relationship
- in most society men are expected to initiate, and thus often have have the luxury of choice.
No,I disagree I've been married before and she told me after wards I did not stand a chance.

Tired old "stations".
I consult with my significant on just about everything (not for permission, but as a valued opinion)
I really hope these cliches of where a person's place is and what is "acceptable" start breaking down even quicker.
Example: I LOVE getting flowers from a woman. It's a risky and ascertive thing for a woman to do according to the "olde" perameters. I love it!

I agree this is an old fashioned view,......but to most women it is still the reality or "silent expectation".
Some women voice their willingness to intiate, but a larger majority would rather be approached. I think it will take time before it is level playing field.
A lot has been done on the work front, and the legal framework ensures that employers comply. But thats a different arena.......

I've been doing it for most of my adult life.
For people who deal with rejection a lot, men are actually less than gracious in how they say no.

Not ALL men. Gosh, the empathy of knowing how much gumption it takes and the risk involved, you would think that men would be a little more compassionate!
and Coach...endurant we are, but still beware of a woman carrying a vacuum and a bottle of scotch.

Considering the following: -
- the current ratio of men to women,
- that men drive the direction of the relationship
- in most society men are expected to initiate, and thus often have have the luxury of choice.......
Do you think men who seek partners on the internet are more choosy/picky on who they relate with?
