It the reason that men often let the woman make the first move because of fear of rejection? (87)
hollandgirl: I have met a few very nice men but only after I made the first move.
These men have seen my picture read my profile but made no move yet are glad when I do. ???????

Some like myself thrive on rejection...........
If I was afraid of rejection, I would never meet anyone.
At least the rejection I get here is a form of attention!

tipaly81: Now wait a minute. you should be able to give some good advice goldylocks. I mean, a purddy little thing like you must have a tale or two.
Okay...seriously. I think most if not nearly all guys like having a woman express interest in them - or even just hearing something nice from them. I know I do.
Speaking for myself, if I find you appealing in some way, I would usually send you an email fairly quickly - would most likely beat you to the "punch." But sometimes that doesn't happen, for any number of reasons. The key thing is that you lose nothing by sending a friendly email or flower, and if the guy's interested, he will respond and/or pursue.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. I will never make the first move. I don't deal well with rejection and women seem to be very creative in insulting men who approach them

they do not need to be any creative,
silence is the worst insult.

indeed. But most women are not happy with that...they must put the offending MAN in his place. How DARE this person think he is good enough to ask this woman anything.

I say it is all in the approach. Both sides need to learn about this. Either way, good luck everyone. I need to scramble to work.

Not until the last nail hits the coffin will I give up searching.
Must say I don't like this dating at all.
Emotions up and down like a jo-jo

one very good way for a woman to make the first move without actually appearing like she is making it (if that is something that would worry some girls) would be to sent a flower/mail that just comments something that person has said on the forums or in their profile.
If the guy is even remotely interested, he will respond and pick up from there

Maybe you should stop wearing the Bikini in public places!

Since I am not looking for a partner...I feel free to say how I really feel, while most of you guys are afraid of offending a perspective partner. I just don't believe women are receptive to men unless they already have decided they are interested in the man, first. Anyone else is an annoyance
BTW....off track, but....I do not read e-mails

I will not make the mistake of showing a sense of humor on this site again. It was done as a joke for another member. But I will not be that accomodating again...that's a promise

Not intended to offend,
I was thinking about the Bikini picture you posted previously... was funny as hell.

all this talk about men and not one of us to take the heat
hi girls
and as for the question at hand i would say that from being here and noticing what guys say (and also from some personal exprerience) the reason might have to do with response rate we guys get, wich is below 1 out of every 10 efforts to contact someone on here.
I have had it happen to me a couple of times where a girl might visit my profile, vote most pics with 9s or 10s and then when i tried to contact i would get no reply.
Makes you really not want to get into all that, especially if you are already just fine just the way you are and not too keen on getting a date.
