They do... but it's true - less often than guys approach girls.

How come, i always wondered that.............


They do!!! Honest :smile: . I guess it depends on the situation that you are referring to. If I was in a club and saw a group of guys there and one happened to catch my eye or something, I can't see myself marching up to the group of guys. I guess I'm quite shy and would find it a bit intimidating :redface: .(I imagine that the same could be said for guys approaching a group of girls too) If he was alone or away from the 'group' then that's a different matter :biggrin:

Could you be more specific as to the situation you are referring to?

I chat to random guys round uni all the time :biggrin: I think its because there is less of the whole club chatting up thing. Not on the street though!! That's just asking for trouble!!

not if he was a total stranger on the street, that would just be too wierd. in a pub or something i have been know to go chat up random men and bend them to my will :biggrin:

Hmm I know it's bad but I guess I have the expectation that guys should talk to girls, i.e. if he's interested then he should talk to me....but then I'm guessing lots of guys can be a bit shy sometimes so they wouldn't go up to the girl? I think I probably should go up to guys more haha

Approaching with the object of some sort of romance is the man's job. Just as it bloody well should be.

But evidently you've never been to a nightclub... either that or you're ugly.

As a true traditionalist gals dont approach guys because that is the MAN's job, not the girl's!

Although I do agree that it's the man's job, I never mind when an attractive comes to talk to me.

Because being forward could be seen as being slutty/easy/etc.

My mate got approched by some random bloke in a pet shop, when we were buying a rat! I think its just the way we are sociolised, men do the approchinhg, where as us women are ment to be shy and reserved!

There's a big difference between confidence and being slutty.

I think it's to do with the traditional way of things. I've done it, but I didn't really like it, cos of fear of rejection. I prefer guys to do it.

Reply 16

It's been that way since the days of Yore :p: Supposedly guys can handle rejection better than us 'vulnerable' ladies :rolleyes: I'm happy with the whole notion meself :p: Much less effort lol x

There sure is, but guys have problems differentiating the two when the girl first speaks to him; which almost always throws him off a tad.
