Why aren’t more women approaching men?
I hope your weekend was wonderful and fun! I was in the Big Easy hanging out and mingling with cool people. I saw a lot of interesting things this weekend while hanging out in New Orleans. I love the energy of the city and the people are so much fun.
I noticed that women seem to approach men a lot more than in Atlanta! I have to say there were a couple of guys that caught my eye and approaching them didn’t seem like a bad idea. What is it about going to a different city and meeting people that seems easier than at home?
When men get approached by women, it seems to be a huge ego boost and I believe it is rare when a guy flat out turns her down. I am sure it happens but once a lady gives an inkling that she is interested, she opens the door for the man to reciprocate interest.
What is the best way to approach a guy, though? I have seen some women come on way too strong and when they sense the guy is turned off, they keep pursuing. Are women slow to notice that a man isn’t really feeling her?
Guys when you are approached by a woman, do you know right away? What happens when you decide that she isn’t your type? How do you let her down?
I think women are always encouraged to ask guys out or at least approach men more, but it seems that many of us prefer to let the men make the first move. Do you think this will ever change? If we are modern women who abandon a lot of the traditional courting, should we get used to approaching men?
Ladies, what are your fears about approaching men? What is the worst that can happen?

Why aren’t more women approaching men? This is funny, esp. after reading the many comments of the men!
My point exactly. People will say one thing and have you heading to hell but then turn around and look at you sideways for doing what they suggested. Always go with whatever folks actions consistantly show…not what they say. Too, there’s less of an “idiot” factor when you ain’t walking around picking up dudes cause they cute or fine.

Why do I have a headache when I’m horny?

And why is it that when I am horny every woman seems beautiful and sexxy?
Why do females like to cuddle after sex?

I like sushi train places. I haven’t visited a city in the States that has one. They are the best. You pay by the color of plate, each color plate has something different on it ranging from 1 to 4 pieces of sushi. It’s always fresh and you never know what’s coming around the corner you want to try.
