If women started asking the men out ya the expected roles would change because then the women would start being nice and giving attention to win the mens heart, but instead of flowers what would women send to men? Now days there are women who ask the guy out.
ReplyDeletesome say (biologically speaking) men need the chase. Men are biologically predisposed to "the chase."
ReplyDeleteIt may all be sociological, though: the "lower status" person "has to" wait for the "upper status" person to break the ice. How many guys would feel emasculated if Beyonce or Jennifer Aniston asked them out?
I sometimes feel that a man can be turned off by a woman approaching him to go out. I also think that it is what we have socially accepted its not that girls are timid are afraid of rejection but women expect a guy to ask her out, they dont feel that they need to be the one asking, it takes away from that chilvary that the movies produce and everyone wants to believe in. Personally i dont care either way asking is asking rejection is rejection everyone is afraid of it but its bond to happen
ReplyDeleteI have seen girls asking out guys. It really doesn't matter I see girls get there way out asking for a guy out. I think now a days if a girl wants a guy she goes after him, if a guy wants a girl he goes after her.
ReplyDeleteYou can call me old fashioned but I'd like for the man to approach me and ask for a date. I'm not saying that I haven't asked a man out on date, it's just that I would prefer that I like the man to do the asking out.
ReplyDeleteI have a couple of male friends say that they are turned on by the fact that women have the courage to ask them out. It may be a change in the times where women are becoming aggressive in pursing men. It could be that women no longer want to look shy and to look like the good girl next door. Watch out men... the aggressive ones are going to take over!
I think that it doesnt matter what the gender is, as long as you like the person then you should ask them out. If you truly is interesting in that particular person then go for it.
ReplyDeleteEven though it isn't a social norm, we are in 2009 and we even have women proposing. I personally wouldn't do it, just because I don't like chasing, but I don't think there's anything wrong with that. Women are more open now and that is great.
ReplyDeleteI thing this times were past, however some girls still wating for men to ask to go out. And not just to go out., but most girls would like to hear first from men " I love You".
ReplyDeleteHow is the dating process goes around homosexuals?
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't care asking a guy out and i would prefer if he would ask me out. I think it depends in the situation and how long a know the person. For example if i know the guy i would prefer for him to ask me out but if i don't know him i wouldn't care going up to him and asking him out or for his number.I think i don't care asking a stranger out cause id he says no I'm never going to see him and that's the end to it but if I'm asking someone that i know out and he says no i might feel a bit embarrass.
ReplyDeleteI don't see nothing wrong with women asking men out. I've seen a couple of female friends asking the "hot" looking guys out. The males seem to like it.
ReplyDeletei dont think its bad women asking men out. if a woman were to ask me out i wouldnt find mind it, i think i would like it because it shows that shes that interested with me
ReplyDeleteMan may like a woman asking them out, but if it were someone they were not attracted to, then thats another story. Men can't like any type of women approaching them. Its often generalize that men don't discriminate, they like all women. who doesnt like women?.. but thats not the case if she was ugly/unattractive and she approached the guy, and was really into him, its not easy for the man to say i like women who are like that..willing to ask a man out..
ReplyDeleteTo spaceships, I agree to the feeling "that a man can be turned off by a woman approaching him to go out"
i wonder if the male will still need to try and impress the girl?
ReplyDeleteI would hope so! It's all about the chase baby....
ReplyDeletebystander: Of course the male needs to impress the girl if he doesn't its a big turn off
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't matter who asks who...the roles shouldn't change. But then again, there should not be expected roles to begin with...that's the problem.
