Wife told me she wouldn’t approach me because she thinks I would reject her

Ya, no thanks.

Every time I have gone up to a women, I have been rejected. Why should I subject myself to constant rejection, but a women is able to just be scared, and everything is alright. We all gotta comfort her, and just keep on asking chick's out. Fuck that.

If I really want to, I will, as will every guy ever. But it's quite stupid to make a post like this, telling guys to go and ask women out. Even more so when it could be viewed as harassment.

Men have traditionally done the approaching to save women from rejection. However, these days men, especially young men approaching women can be viewed as sexual harassment. At the same time, many men question if marriage is something they want.

My current girlfriend made the first move. I didn’t even know she was looking. A mutual female friend of ours refuses to make the first move and rarely has dates as result.

Women who want to leave it all on men risk never having the right man approach.

I’m enjoying my relationship but the reality is she needs a man more than I need a woman.

Ooorrr.... she can bite the bullet and risk rejection. Just like men are expected to do.

Really, all I hear from this is "take the risk so that women don't have to."

No, thank you. If I'm interested I'll talk to her, sure, but if she's interested it's on her to talk to me

I had to go swimming for it, but he commented that he met his wife on a dating app. She liked his profile in the first place. Don't talk about having the courage to approach women if you ain't about it.

The other aspect is women won't approach guys that they believe are respectable but they will initiate if the guy is considered hot and dangerous. The example occurs at female Bachelorette parties.

Take it in stride.

Women have delicate egos and can't handle rejection at all.

Alot of women say they get approached more when they are tore down rather than done up.

This led me to ask so you’d only approach a guy if you were sure he wouldn’t reject you?

This makes sense to me. Nobody likes rejection. I only ever approached women who at least gave me some kind of signal that she was interested

Introductions by third parties are sometimes the best. My wife and I were introduced by a mutual friends, who essentially arranged our first two or three dates and come on them. Though at one point in the middle of a date she left, and I was on my own (terrifying as it was).
