Why do so many guys seem to dislike the idea of girls approaching them?

Man, I wish a girl would come up and approach me. ... instead of running away in terror. :cry:

I have never seen nor heard of such a thing, from neither me nor my friends.

I would respond probably the same way. I don't know why, I'd suspect they want something from me.

[QUOTE="TecmoGirl"]STRONG>Girl: Hey how you doing, what's your name cutie?harashawn

Right from the beginning (Calling him cutie) almost seems like you're talking down to him. Most guys don't like that.

This. If she's going to flirt with him, she should try something a little less likely to be misinterpreted...

EDIT: Even if she just wants to call him cute, how about starting off at a simple "hi" and then mentioning directly something like "you are so cute" or something like that? There's still potential for misunderstanding but I think that wording might slightly reduce it...

I would very much like that, it would help my confidence a lot sense I already don't think I'm worth anything to a woman. This hampers my ability to be the one to approach them. All in all, I'd be nervous no matter what, but hopefully I'd get a handle on the situation.

I would love if women approached me, instead they make me do all the hard work. Actually I think they should approach guys more often, since they're always going on about sexual equality

While I agree with other posters that girls should ask out guys as much as guys ask out girls due to both being in common thanks to love, thank god I got asked out twice in my life.8)

It's happened to me in the past but I never take the person seriously, I just assume they're playing some sort of joke..

While I don't necessarily dislike it, both girls who have approached me ended up coming off as being almost domineering. I may not be the most manly man around, but when it comes to a relationship I AM THE MAN and those girls who asked me out turned me off by seeming too dominant.

Well, according to the TC description of that kind of girl. I'd think she would be a skank.

From personal experience, people who are that aggressively friendly are usually trying to sell you something.

The more a female does the less i have to do. I find nothing wrong with this scenario.

I wouldn't mind a girl approaching me as long as she is appropriate about it.

1.) I don't expect it.

2.) I'm not good with talking to people (But I'm getting better before this year I would hardly talk to people)

3.) I can barely talk about anything that isn't videogames so they will more then likely get bored and walk away.

Edit* I would like a girl to ask me out but I'm not good with talking to people I can barely talk to people I've known my whole life.

Yes, i'm referring to the reversal--it seems that there are lots of men out there who seem to react awkwardly to women playing the role of pick-up artist. Sometimes the look on their face is absolutely priceless(especially from cat calling lol); It can even be felt it in the way they respond at times. If you don't know what i'm talking about then this take this for example--

"Girl: Hey how you doing, what's your name cutie?

"Guy: "blank stare"......

"Girl: You shy or something?"

"Guy: Nah..not really"

"Girl: Well you seem kind of mean but I like it. Let me give you my number. = )

"Guy: What? have you been giving out your number all day or something?"

"Girl: umm...No? I don't usually give out my numbver or if some boy pesters me, I'll give him the wrong number just to get him out of my face maybe but thats all..."

"Guy: Are you giving me a fake number now?"

"Girl: Maybe...= )

"Guy: "walks off/ignores/excuses himself"

That's just one of many ways it can go of course(not saying there hasn't been any success) i'm just curious about what goes through a guys mind when a attractive girl approaches him. Are ya'll just shocked and don't know how to capitalize?? Is it seen as desperate? Slutty? Are ya'll intimidated? etc. Should men be the only ones approaching? I always assumed guys would see it as very sexy for a woman to approach them.

ROFL.

Personally I wouldn't have any problem with it, but most guys percieve it almost as an attack on them at their own game.

I don't have a problem with it. Although it's definitely not as common.

I like it when I don't have to do all the hard work; too bad such girls aren't usually that good looking.

I didn't know that noodling was considered a friendly female gesture nowadays.

^ It is. An annoying percentage of the time, the girl could be described as a big tease. Meaning she probably won't "put out". Not that I mind. I'm a marriage-first guy. =p
