In today's society, the kind of viewpoint I am going to put forth is probably detrimental to my own love life as I am a heterosexual male. I am sure some people would disagree with some of the claims I make too. I believe this viewpoint is actually beneficial overall for better healthier relationships.
When concerning serious relationships, the way I personally view the courting dynamic is that women should be the ones who generally choose a partner and make the move, not men (don't get me wrong, I don't think men should 'never' make a move, but that it is just far better if the woman initiates and shows interest). That may seem weird to so many but hear me out.
Firstly, when it comes to sex, I think a lot of men out there are fairly lenient. I think it would be safe to say that men's personal standards for sex are lower than women's. There is that joke that says a lot of men would have sex with anything... lol.
I feel like it would be better if it was the women who chose their partner by showing attraction because women generally are more likely to pick a man who would be better suited for a relationship with them overall. The reason I make this claim is that I think they are less likely to be so fickle about starting a relationship. In other words, I think more men would jump into a relationship and likely mainly for the sex, or at least jump into a relationship based on less factors than if a women picked and chose a partner, showed attraction and initiated something. This means that there is more 'chance' for it to a good relationship and more compatible perhaps.
Women are the ones who are the child bearers too, so wouldn't it make more sense in this respect for the woman to be the active one in finding a suitable partner that they would be happy to have a family with.
I feel like a relationship in which the woman made the first move has the 'chance' to be more genuine.
What do you think?
I would admit that I also find something incredibly flattering for a woman to show the attraction. It just seems like such a more genuine thing, whether that is showing attraction based on the desire just for casual sex, or whether it is for something much more serious.
