I've been seeing several males complaining across the internet about how women don't approach them and they think women should approach them more. Let me tell you why this is a horrible idea. I genuinely feel like men don't respect women who approach them AT ALL. And I also feel like men who are genuinely interested in a woman will go out of his way to pursue her PERIOD! If you find yourself having to initiate literally everything with a man all the time, that means he's not that interested and you should 100% move on. Also these men aren't being 100% honest either, they claim that they want women to approach them more and yet they think those women are desperate and low value and they also feel like the reason why those women have to approach men in the first place is because they are unattractive and don't have many options. I've had friends approach men and even I used to approach men in the past ( before I knew any better lol) and it always felt like I was putting in way more work than the male and always felt like I had to beg for his attention. The men that I've approached in the past don't put in nearly as much effort as the men that approach me and I also find that the males that I had to approach in the past were very passive and feminine now that I think about it....I cringe just thinking about how I used to act like that in the past, and I'm just so happy that I know better now...good Lord!

Edit: Ok so, I'm reading through some of your comments and I see a couple of you stating that men can still turn out to be narcissistic and whatnot....I'm aware of that, however, that's really not the point of this particualar post....NOWHERE in my post did I say that all men who approach you first are automatically a God-send... they definitely still need to be vetted, but I feel like some of you are being obtuse on purpose because you're guilty of participating in these pick-me behaviors....the main point of my post is that women should not approach men in a romantic sense because you're always going to be the one putting in more effort than him and you basically are gonna end up wearing the pants in that situationship.... if you would like to make a separate post about narcissistic males, then feel free to do that ( I'm not denying it) however, I'm not understanding why some of you are coming under my post completing changing the subject...
