This comment was by Blaw in reference to the post – Why Are Men Expected to Make the First Move?
Society is nowhere near ready for courtship to shift allowing women to initiate, BUT at the same time women need to STOP accusing men of being shallow and judging by appearance when that is all they offer us until we as men decide to break the ice. Both parties are to blame here, and I’ve got no problem talking to girls, but the type that annoy me is the eye rolling socialite who can’t believe a guy under 6’3″ would dare talk to her, when she never lifts a finger to initiate that contact herself. Fortunately I’m blessed in the career department but a little-known fact about easy-peasy gold diggers is that they are born without personalities. and some aren’t even good actors which can make you feel pretty small, despite having “higher status” in that situation.
Long story short, it’s MUCH easier to meet PEOPLE first (and men/women second) by living your life and doing what you love. The bar approach only works for the lowest common denominator of humans. Beautiful people who click with others for real tend to not meet them in bars. Try the art gallery, the book store, or parties for charity. Until the sun destroys the earth chances are men will have to do all the work in courtship- gotta make the best of it!
