Why Don’t Men Approach Women? — Women don’t even like men!

Some women are very frustrated with dating. They’re not understanding why men aren’t approaching them anymore. They’re attractive, smart, independent, and empowered. So why aren’t they getting the results they want?

What’s it like for men?

The normal response is, “well, men are the problem.” While that’s a very easy “hot take” to make, I want women right now to think about what recent life has been like for most men…

Since they were young, they’d been told they have the responsibility to approach women, court women, propose, pay for dates, protect women, and all the rest. Since middle school, maybe even younger. I remember when I was 11, and I was told I had to ask a girl to a dance. I remember an old friend of mine. Matthew explained that Helen “fancied me.” She wanted me to ask her out, even back then, I wondered.

“If she likes me why doesn’t see ask me to the dance?”

But you learn very early on that a lot is just expected from you as a boy/man. No questions asked.

A lot falls on a man’s shoulders when it comes to getting and maintaining any relationship, no matter how progressive we all claim we are. Don’t believe me?
