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?

Kimmie: “4Real – So do you, like dolphins? I love them, they are so cute!” – Welllllll that’s good to hear I just happen to own a dolphin. Would you like to see him and yes he is cute?
White man: I’m going to need you to be more specific about the dolphins you swim with before you start a riot.

LOL at 2C Simple Man: you were cool but hollering at all the blog women makes you look thirsty and you are one page away from being on Melo’s level. Not trying to be mean but I call it like I see it. It’s kinda like you having spinach between your teeth. Would you rather me ignore it and say you look good or hand you a napkin and say dude, you got spinach between your teeth.

Elijah?
Not all women who dress sexy are hoes??
I agree.
Hoes don’t dress sexxy! They dress provocatively.
That’s a big difference.
A hoe dresses sparingly.it don’t have to be on Metropolitan. It could well be at the bar you hang out on the regular.
