Tbh it depends a lot on the type of women you date. Girls that are looking for hook ups will 100% give you a small gap of time for you to make your move. Women that are looking for something more will usually give you plenty of time. I've been in both scenarios, girls I went out with looking for hook ups got literally offended when I rejected their advances to the point where I got blocked, others simply said "okay" and moved on the next dude. Girls looking for something more meaningful will 100% be okay with you not being ready for a sexual encounter, just dont take too long though. If too much time passes they will think you're not interested.

Oh 100%, it doesn't has to be physically exclusive and it doesn't has to be planned. As a date goes you just gotta gauge when to bring it up.

you're right, but tbh i wish women knew what it was like trying to attract women, especially with how many variants there are and things that men just don't even know, it's like doing an algebra equation when you're 6 years old it's not womens fault but i feel dumb as hell when i talk to women I'm into, and my female friends say i come off as a smart attractive person, which i guess just goes away when i actually have feelings for someone
[–]highpriestesstlly 3 points4 points5 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I wish I could give you all of the answers.. but you are making a point. Women can be hard to read but I also have no fucking idea what man wants sometimes. Like I think I know one day and the next I’ve lost it and he’s changed tracks. Which is cool. I like it, we never get bored and we also aren’t constantly on each other. One of us plays hard to get and the other has to wait or work for it. But in the dating game I know it is different for those in a relationship. So i would say simply just ask her what things she looks for in a partner, relationship wise and sexually. It’s completely okay to ask questions. Just be prepared for the fact that you may not enjoy what she has to say… and you’ll have to move on anyways. I hope you find your match! I know it isn’t easy

Lesbian here. It's not too hard to attract other women if I actively go out to date and attract other women. Women are just people and honestly just having high social intelligence and communication skills is pretty much how I get by it.
For me it's less like I see other women as this huge hivemind and each as a seperate person who wants a seperate thing. The reason it might be hard to attract women is if you just try one thing over and over. Unfortunately there is no template for seduction you can do that will work every time. Learn how people like to be interacted with.
Body language coupled with speech makes most people readable and if you don't understand anything else, you ask/talk.

What is your move?
[–][deleted] 77 points78 points79 points 4 years ago* (0 children) | Copy Link
A number of reasons:
Women are the receptive gender, and generally not the gender that initiates -- at least in heterosexual relationships. While us men often pedestalize this position, it does have plenty of drawbacks. One is that you're often waiting for the guy to act on something that you want to happen, that you clearly (but covertly lol) have communicated that you want to happen, but don't feel fully empowered to act on yourself. So on the heels of a missed window of opportunity or several, you start to become disappointed and even downright annoyed. You start to resent the guy even. Or maybe you just create a more flattering narrative like "maybe he's just not the right guy for me after all", or "maybe that date I had the other day wasn't even that good"... and then you move on. Believe it or not, women don't take rejection (or perceived rejection) all that well either.
Genuine desire involves urgency. You meet. You connect. You escalate. It all needs to be wrapped in a coherent story that is escalating and deepening. There would be no point of a romance novel if you went from page 5 to page 30 and then all of a sudden found yourself back on page 5. Or stalled out on page 30. Just as with point #1, you might start to question if the book was actually that compelling after all. Then you'd click that Amazon refund button lol.
You're competing against other men and other narratives. If you're not stepping up to the plate, another guy will, from her past, present or future at some point. This is where the abundance that many women have comes in. You're also competing against her prior experiences with men she found compelling and who likely made things happen within a narrow window. These are the men she found attractive. And if you're not steering the ship in that familiar way, well, you must not be That Guy for her.
That said, this is nothing to get upset over, nor are some of these things unique to women. I've learned similar (painful) lessons in my career. You can demonstrate as much enthusiasm in your follow up email after a job interview as you want. It doesn't matter if you didn't demonstrate competency and interest when you were in that room in that moment. That was the honest signal. Period. Overall, women teach you about the importance of capitalizing on the moment and acting on a window of opportunity with genuine interest and ACTION.

bro how many guys do you know that can date multiple women at a time? i can't even date one woman right now and i put myself out there
[–]Simp4Aurelius 4 points5 points6 points 4 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
Then honestly you shouldn't be dating in the current market. The chance that you find a girl willing to settle for an LTR and screw you over because you didnt have the options to properly vet her are atrocious. Give it a year. Straight up. Take the one night stands that you can get, but put self development first. Honestly, if you wanted to max it out, put the majority of your resources into bettering yourself until you're thirty and start wheeling 24-26 year olds. Assess your options and then escalate to something more serious at your peak, then you'll both be on the SMV decline together since you're both dating at your peak.
Is your mental health, body, and career maximized? No? Give it more time and work on that.
Do you have a solid friend group of 3-5 guys who also have put time into their mental health, body, and career? No? Give it more time and work on that.
Do you have unique experiences and stories with travelling, partying, or hobbies that seperate you from the AFC mold? No? Then give it more time and work on that.
"Seduction" and PUA stuff is just the icing on the cake of your SMV. The cake has to be there. You can't cover shit in icing and expect people to be lining up to buy it. I don't mean to degrade you, especially with the sick Pinkly Smooth profile pic you got (the guys in A7X need to remaster that demo and make it available for streaming I stg), just using some exaggerated analogies.

so just be alone seeing people my age and younger in fun and healthy relationships because i need to "better myself" I've spent years bettering myself already I'm ready to put myself out there and have a life all i do os work and push my career which is music which is fun but I'm lonely and horny and insecure and I can't really fix being insecure on my own, I'm already in good shape i just don't have the nice stuff like being a greasy talker and having a big dick and a nice car

That self pity and bitterness is going to kill your dating game before any of your objective shortcomings will.
Come on dude. Nobody in this forum had it easy in the start. If everyone naturally grew up as that 10/10 perfect guy with killer genetics and bravado, nobody would be coming here to learn how to improve. And life isn’t fair and doesn’t owe you shit. You take the cards you were given and play them the best you can.
Small dick? Be glad you aren’t a woman in Africa who had her clitoris cut off.
Introverted and awkward? Be glad you weren’t born deaf.
Born with a crappy frame or body? Be glad you weren’t born with bels palsy or disfigured.
Born poor in the western world and can’t afford a lambo? Be glad you’re in a country where you can have clean water or food for minutes of work.
Man, I don’t mean to go off on ya. I’ve been there. I’ve been that frustrated. I’m being harsh because you’ll be fucked over by that one woman who enters your life and you cling onto her out of loneliness.
Do. The. Work. I’ve lost 100lbs over the course of a year while working a kitchen job and maintaining an academic scholarship at a university and partying. It’s slow and it’s hard, but it’s incredible and enjoyable. If you did it the right way, you’d enjoy it more than any one night stand or relationship. Many guys including myself have broken up with women because we felt that it was irreconcilably in the way of that bettering oneself journey. That’s 10x as fulfilling as any lay, and if you did the work, you’d know that.

Women judge men's sexual fitness based on their behavior. If your behavior signals that you are a shy, timid guy, then it is the equivalent of a chick being fat and gross, ie unattractive. Women are turned off by men who don't make moves. Like literally turned off. They think something is wrong with them and they are either being rejected or that you are a pussy and they don't want a pussy because they already got one.
[–]poetichippi 8 points9 points10 points 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
If shy and timid mean the outward expression of insecurity then I’d agree, although insecurity also comes in the form of cocky, arrogant and grandiose behaviour, which I think is equally unattractive. Also, shy and timid are not to be confused with quiet and reserved. A bit of mystery and challenge is intriguing to a self assured woman. In my own experience, it’s the reserved and composed men that have the most brilliant surprises when you get to the bedroom. The same with cockiness and arrogance not being mistaken for confidence and self assurance. These things don’t need to be spoken. An intuitive, mature woman will discern based off energy alone. Same with the chemistry you share. If she’s not felt that you’re interested within the first few meetings, she will likely move on. Making a move doesn’t have to be exclusively physical. Telling her you’re really into her but want to take your time should work to ease any doubt she might have
[–]JacobMoogberg69 4 points5 points6 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Exactly. But in the op example it seems like someone who doesn't know what they want and what they want a woman for. What's the purpose of 3 dates if you are not making a move? Are you training her for a food critic?

Most guys are scared to make moves because of the metoo movement
[–]picklez91 38 points39 points40 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
While there's some validity to that, there's a big difference between making a move on a girl that is clearly in to you (third date) and making an unwanted advance on a girl you just met and think is in to you.
[–][deleted] 13 points14 points15 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Guys were timid like this a decade ago before the metoo movement. Approach anxiety has always been around. The metoo movement is just an excuse. "Can't kiss the girl who's on a date with me or she'll tell people i'm a rapist".
The metoo movement is really about guys making a move in totally inappropriate scenarios, like at work.

Because it's boring. She wants a Man. Not some frightened dude who's afraid to say what he wants. I mean for pete's sake you guys matched on a dating site, and you're going to take 3 dates to even kiss her? If she wasn't interested she wouldn't have gone out with you.
Women would rather a guy with some balls who take a risk than a timid chump. It'll dry her all the way up.
I'm speaking generally of course.

[–]anothersadthrowaway- 19 points20 points21 points 4 years ago (21 children) | Copy Link
On the contrary, I find that it’s usually men who don’t want to continue to date if the woman doesn’t “put out” sooner rather than later. In my personal life I have never experienced anything other than that. Of course you’re right I can only speak for myself, but I have genuinely never ever heard of the woman backing out because the man isn’t making a sexual move right away.
I will add that I’d find it respectful and amazing that a man does NOT want to make a move right away. It shows they’re interested in you more than just your body, and that means a lot:) So if you’re that kind of man, I love that and support it.
[–]caesarfecit 17 points18 points19 points 4 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
A woman in this situation isn't likely to just ragequit or take her ball and go home. Instead she'll just write you off as a sexual prospect and stop trying, go cold, stick you in the friend zone, or all of the above. I've seen women do this all the time where they'll have a guy in their life with a crush that they're no longer into because he's a wimp, and keep him around because they like the attention or to outright use him. Kinda like the gender-flipped version of a booty call.
[–]anothersadthrowaway- 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Well it all comes down to individual experience because I don’t do that, nor have I ever known anyone to do that. And I’m not saying it doesn’t happen because I believe it does. But in no way is that all or even most of us. Just a select few who frankly aren’t good women because you aren’t a good person if you’re keeping someone around on the back burner for fun. That’s wrong.
[–]caesarfecit 10 points11 points12 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
We can argue back and forth about percentages all day long, but we're on the same page that people who use other people are not cool. That's one of the reasons why I don't like booty call situations. FWB is alright provided you're both on the same page, but treating a girl like a booty call just feels exploitative to me. Sort of a "if your regard for her is really that low, then why even bother sleeping with her?"
[–]anothersadthrowaway- 3 points4 points5 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I’m not arguing at all. I’m only stating an individual experience and agreeing with you that that practice is wrong. No argument anywhere.

Yes, of course you find that, you're an extreme outlier.
If you were a man, you'd be complaining about all the women who lose interest for "no reason" (because you didn't escalate with them).
I have genuinely never ever heard of the woman backing out because the man isn’t making a sexual move right away.
You really think your girlfriends are going to say something like that? It'll be "he wasn't interested" or "there was no chemistry" or whatever very plausible, "logical" reason that she wouldn't find so plausible if there were sexual bonding things going on.
Edit: More than likely, the men who never make a move aren't even MENTIONED to you. They're ignored.
Edit: Interesting votes, I wonder who we're getting brigaded by. FDS, is that you?

I am genuinely trying to understand what is said by each comment.
I am not "picking the wording apart", her core argument, as best I can figure, is:
"I am not like that, the women I know are not like that because of X evidence, and therefore this behavior is rare".
I accept she is the way she says. Everyone here does as far as I can tell.
However, the X evidence is bad evidence based on bad reasoning, and the behavior is not rare at all.
If you think that is not her argument, can you explain to me what "on the contrary" means in her comment, because I literally do not understand. Thanks!

No, that's the old stereotype, but reality heavily contraddicts that. Most men happily keep trucking on even when the woman is clearly just using them for meals, meanwhile women will quit very fast if no sexual interaction is offered
[–]agileipa 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Yeah I agree, it’s not an apples to apples comparison. A guy ditching because she isn’t putting out is typically a guy making moves and getting one rejection after the next. That is very different from a guy not making any moves and she moves on. In my experience the women expects you to make a move in the first few interactions or it gets weird for them. I have waited on purpose to test this. And she was giving me all the signs but I didn’t do anything. The next date I escalated and kissed her and after she said, “omg I am so glad we kissed I was starting to wonder if you liked me”
[–]Wargasm69 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

1) Because the likelihood that you’re the only guy she’s going on dates with is slim to none.
2) It shows lack of confidence that you won’t escalate when she’s showing you clear interest.
Don’t believe anything else being said here, those are the two real reasons.
Listen, women have options. On social media they’ll get 100s of DMs a day, they are constantly having their attention occupied. If you don’t make your move quick (when and ONLY when she’s giving you indicators of interest) someone else will.
However if a woman isn’t show you interest early on that you can use to escalate, it means she’s not into you so DO NOT waste any more time.
With women its a numbers game, the quicker you can walk away from women who show low interest the more likely you are to meet a bunch of women who like you and want to sleep with you as soon as possible.
At that point its on you to have the balls to lead her towards the desired outcome.

Probably because they have more suitors than free time.

Going for what you want displays confidence. Taking a long time shows fear or perceived as indecision.
She sees is as insecurity or disinterest. Neither are attractive and she can’t trust you if you are afraid or she doesn’t want to go out with someone that isn’t crazy about her.

Bruh 3 dates? I'd kill for that much of a window of time. The last dozen phone numbers I've gotten from daygame over last few months had a "window of time" of 2 texts in, after she says she can't make my first suggestion, just stops responding altogether, the end
Frankly, I know the idea is to just shotgun approach and use statistics in my favor, and deciding to ghost early is their prerogative, but this is maddening long term, over time it's like all starting interactions are some kind of matrix simulation and the person doesn't exist afterwards

People are different. There’s also asexual people who will basically never have sex with you unless under perfect circumstances, there’s also people will have sex on the first date. There’s no one size fits all
[–][deleted] 3 points4 points5 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Simple.
The average decently attractive girl, before COVID anyways, couldn’t go outside without someone or few shooting their shot everyday. And, that’s not even accounting for all the guys on social media around the community trying to get at her through those mediums. If she’s “single”, she’s probably got a guy or two that she’s already dealing with who is taking up the majority of her headspace. After that, she’s got a guys she already knows and doesn’t know jockeying for position.
When you’re on the outside trying to get in, it’s not going to be comfortable. Her attention span is very finite, so you’ve got to make your best move.
bruh three dates is a longggg time to escalate. always aim for the first date lay. if youre hesitant youre unconfident and they hate that shit so just escalate cause you a man g. if youre worried about getting rejected you already lost. realize the rejection is not you but the situation and adjust behaviors accordingly for the next woman you take out. improve improve improve

bc they're insecure, dummy. they want security and they want a man to want her and want to take care of her, so if at the beginning a guy is already showing that he's unsure of what he wants, or isn't capable of delivering what she wants, how could she trust him to provide the only thing that which she ever needs?
you either want her or you don't. you either act on it or you don't. it's not about how you analyze how to make a move, and how good of a move it's going to be thanks to that analysis, it's about whether you are willing to act on it or not, for her sake. and even then, it's up to her to decide if you are worth it. guys who want her are a dime a dozen, and guys willing to make a bet for her are aplenty. if she's smart, she won't pick anyone just barely making the cut over the rest of the competition, and the only reason she won't go for the highest bid if she doesn't go for it, will be if she isn't confident enough to compete for him.
if we are to compare the seduction game to a hunt, then it's better if guys don't think of themselves as the predator. it's a hunt for mates, not for meat, and all mate-hunters have equal rights at selecting their partners. she enjoys the hunt, too, you know.
and it's a fair kind of a deal. if you aren't ready, you aren't ready. and it's alright, too. boys: knowing yourself wins you the first half of the battle. when you know who you are and what you want, you stop wasting anyone's time and just have fun.
remember, seduction is about fun. if you yourself aren't having any fun in the first place, how could you ever share it with anyone else?
when i'm having fun, i can seduce you into my world. what will you do to make your world stand out so much and brimming with so much joy that i'd like to take a visit in it?
it's difficult to hold back a giggle the moment you begin to see it. so let's take another look. i mean, later, when you're done thinking long and hard about it, and when you're done being too hard on yourself.
so first, you might want to take a break and relax. now is the time.

You have to overstand, Women are on dampening mode right now. Out of a 28day cycle they are only free 2 of those days are they in their natural states. The rest of the days they are regulated. It prev nts them from going into heat. If the 🌕 crashes they will be sexually released. But until then
Thats why women have no resolve IMHO. So if you miss that timing they'll just keep fluttering around 🦋🦋🦋
[–]caesarfecit 5 points6 points7 points 4 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
Because every woman knows what it's like to chase after a guy who's just not that into them or be taken for granted.
They fear and loathe that as much as men fear rejection and humiliation.
The other element of it is that at the current moment, the dating market is somewhat skewed in favor of women, so they can afford to dump guys who don't seize the moment, because they've got no shortage of choices and sooner or later some guy will.
The pendulum will swing back sooner or later, but for now that's the current meta, and your choices are adapt or be a wallflower.
So much of dating from a man's POV is honestly just being properly socialized and being willing to put yourself out there. Having a thick skin helps too.
Yeah the pendulum will swing back when I’m fucking 50

I’m curious- what would make the pendulum swing back?

Same reason why human resources spends about ten seconds looking at your resume, because they have so many options so even if you do not impress, there's always the next one.

Women wants, women do, women say. The problem is that some men do not act as they want and wait to understand "what women want", and get nothing as a consequence. For girls don't want insecure men that think like that, and if they want them it is only to play with them, or beacuse they are so insecure they feel safe around an insecure guy. Women are not bancomats that open their card slots only after 4:13,6pm and if you push certain buttons in a specific combinations.

Women want you to lead and make the first move. Be physical from the beginning and get her in your frame. If I don’t have sex with a girl by the 3rd date, I give her the boot not the other way around.
[–]CreeknAndKraken 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Cause they’ve got options

Times have changed from back in the day man, I was born in ghe 90s and it was slower back then. Now things are different, social media, phone etc made things faster. But hey, as long as you got game it doesn't matter if things are slower or faster am irite ;)
[–]HyakuShichifukujin 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Every remotely cute girl on the market today has approximately 180 options, if you don’t move fast one (or five) of the others will.
Why don’t you frame this the other way: moving fast is now so normal, that getting to sex in zero to two dates is not difficult. I’ll take that any day over the 1950s model of ten dinner dates (that you pay for) before any clothes (maybe) come off.

Women are impatient and get bored easily because majority of them are boring themselves.
Hence why you still see tinder profiles to this day with "entertain me"
[–][deleted] -2 points-1 points0 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
She wants to know you’re ready to go at a moments notice. She is judging how much action she is going to be getting from you. If you’re a lame she’s going to go get it from someone who wants to give it to her. Don’t be rude or pushy, just communicate, and be direct.
Women like money, time is money, don’t waste a woman’s time.
It’s not supposed to make sense. They all want to be hit on until they get hit on then it’s ew grows you’re hitting on me 😂
Make bold moves don’t be shy she’s grown.

First, its important to remember that even your experiences & similar comments online does not equal Women Do This. Women are many & varied & all have their own desires, plans & reasons for their choices & behavior. And a big factor of YOUR experience is YOU. You affect the people you spend time with & just because a woman acts one way with you, that doesn't equal that she does that same thing in all cases. Its just as possible for a woman to have in her head a plan of action that she's been committed to for a while but something about you makes her change her mind.
And like someone else said some women want to have sex, some want to wait, though I disagree with them that women who want more will always wait & women that want to have sex early must not want anything further, again, people are complicated.
The other important thing is stop sitting in your head wondering what they want or what they are thinking. TALK. Communicate why you're dating, what you're looking for, what you are not looking for. Instead of keeping everything in, talk it out. You'll either meet someone & have a good experience because everyone knows what's happening or you're clear up very quickly that you're not compatible.

Idk but guys need to learn how to test the damn water.
Find some way to make non creepy contact and you should be able to tell. That's always been my go to to figure out what's up. Body language in that situation is a tell as well. I could probably write a paper on this but fuck I'm beat
[–]Slyvid-19 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Simply cause the pnani / pssy can only stay wet or drip for a certain guy for a certain period of time and not forever.
[–]DaburuKiruDAYO 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Because we have a lot of options, and if it feels like someone is wasting our time, we drop them. Supply and demand, blah blah.

It's common where a guy will go out with a woman for 3 dates, and if nothing sexual happens, she gives him the boot even though she was originally really interested in him.
Let's back the train up here and establish a couple things:
Social interactions are complicated and often difficult to get a grasp on as far as what's happening. It can take years to get a basic understanding.
The preconceptions and mindsets that people bring into social interactions have a way of influencing or biasing the outcome without them realizing it.
For example, if someone has a resting face that looks mean, that can affect and even limit what's possible in a social interaction for someone.
To such a person, they will say that being rejected or left out is common. But with some adjustments, a whole other set of possibilities could very well become "common."
The point is that, without knowing what's going into the equation for you personally, it's impossible to know how you might be influencing what's "common" for you.
But I can't tell you that if a girl is actually interested, they will not act as you've described here. If a girl is acting like what you describe here, then you made mistakes you didn't realize at some point.
2
So why do women just give a small window like that? Like why does a man not making a move by the 3rd date cause women to 100 percent lose interest?
I will say, if a girl is looking for a casual sex and the guy doesn't pull the trigger sooner rather than later, than of course she's going to bail.
I've shut things down on women before when I realized I wasn't feeling it or they were looking for something different than I was. That's just how dating works. If things don't line up, one or both people will stop.
