At this point I don't know what women want anymore.

Do you want us to pursue you? Do you want us to respect your boundaries? Do you want us to hunt you down?

u/headermargin 10d ago

Dont bother.

These are the games they play.

Let them come to you. They know to be direct with men.

The rest are a waste of time.

u/mywifemademedothis2 10d ago

Then you marry them and have kids and they decide to play more games with you and every other dude that gives them a whiff of attention

u/headermargin 10d ago

Sorry to hear brother!

Boys (and ladies) please get a prenup!

Pay attention during your dating phases!

u/facepoppies 10d ago

damn dude are you ok lmao

u/InstructionFew1654 10d ago

They will come to you if they want you. Right now they want ex-felon Chad…and you should find a nice girl at a brothel or something.

u/calmly86 10d ago

I saw a great quote…

What do women want?

  1. More.

  2. Something else.

2

u/RakeChapman13 9d ago

That’s more of a human thing than a woman thing.

u/PrizeMarzipan401 9d ago

Bro Is a fervient defender of women

u/Alternative-Dream-61 10d ago

Stop worrying about what women want and be the person you want to be and are proud of.

u/Aromatic_Shop9033 10d ago

Don't ever chase women.

Let them come up to you.

11

u/Acrobatic-List-6503 10d ago

I don't.

I just display my wedding ring and they come like flies.

u/Aromatic_Shop9033 10d ago

Lore accurate, unfortunately.

u/insdog 10d ago

yeah im gonna be honest im 28 years old and still a virgin so im not sure if this advice will work for everyone

u/Aromatic_Shop9033 10d ago

My point is, chasing dries women out. Not all, but almost every one, unless they already like you.

Chasing wastes your time, money, and gets you heartbroken. I advise against it.

2

u/TheGloriousEv0lution 10d ago

It doesn’t guarantee success but chasing makes things worse. Coming across as desperate to women is one of the worst things you can do

Show initial interest like the guy in the OP, but if she’s not enthusiastic just move on

1

u/Sufficient_Topic1589 10d ago

Depends. I was in a similar boat. Then I started hanging out with a different group of people. One of the girls took me to her room after a party at her house. You should find the right group maybe. I’m an overweight average joe btw.

u/didntplaymysummercar 9d ago

Put yourself out there and you might get lucky. You miss all shots you don't take. I'm speaking from experience. Also if you can't be happy enough alone (you can be happier with someone, just not unhappy or depressed alone) you should work on that first too.

u/MysteriousResolve249 10d ago

It's simple, they want you to approach them if you are hot, and if you are ugly you're a creep if you do so. But if you are ugly, the reason you are lonely is automatically because you dont "put yourself out there". Its a lose a lose and its always your fault

12

u/Cravenmorhed69 10d ago

Depends on if you’re attractive

u/Acrobatic-List-6503 10d ago

Well, my daughter says I'm a very handsome man. My wife disagrees, though.

3

u/BobbyRayBands 10d ago

The ones that want you will show it. They wont play these stupid fucking games.

3

u/VeterinarianThese951 10d ago

Not totally true. Some have been programmed to beat around the bush and sometimes backfires

2

u/Reasonable-Mischief 9d ago

Do you want us to pursue you? Do you want us to respect your boundaries? Do you want us to hunt you down?

This is an easy one, th ey want the guy they want to ignore her boundaries and the guys they don't want to respect them.

u/DaBiChef 10d ago

Honestly advice: from watching what they do and hearing but not taking what they say at face value

  • Most want to be asked out and pursued

  • Most also don't want guys they don't like asking them out

  • Fucking none of em want a guy who can't take their rejection or lack of interest well.

So what can you do? Be friendly, be social. It's okay to talk to a woman at your gym or at a bar or whatever. If you're getting the vibe she's not interested? Give her an out and be on your way. Preemptively take the rejection well and move on. If she might be, it's okay to ask her out but if she says no, then again give her an out and be on your way.

If she can't be at the gym and have a guy be friendly, and politely gauge her interest, and then take her lack of interest well and not make it her problem? That's on her not you.

u/BeardedSkier 10d ago

Women aren't a monolith my brother.  They don't all want the same thing, or are motivated by the same factors, or find the same things (or types of people) enjoyable. 

Find one that matches your energy and what you want. Don't want someone who plays games? Walk away like the guy in OPs post. Want the thrill of the hunt and an eventual trophy? Then pursue the type who plays hard to get. Just don't treat "women" as all the same....

3

u/Crunchyjeff 9d ago

So since women arent a monolith, does that mean evil women exist? IDK about that one, a lot of very angry people have been telling me they dont exist and that men are inherently evil unlike women, who are inherently awesome......

2

u/BeardedSkier 9d ago

There are good people and bad people - just like there are good dogs and bad dogs (despite what Reddit says about dogs!!!). If you see all men as the same, and all women as the same, I don't know what to tell you or how to help you broaden your horizons and thinking, but you need to do that.

2

u/Crunchyjeff 9d ago

Well I would argue it's the other people telling me this who need to broaden their horizon, but that's just my opinion.

u/BeardedSkier 9d ago

Be the change you want to see in the world

u/jcready92 10d ago

Thats why the best relationships happen when neither of the people were looking for it.

u/400KCALCEMENT 9d ago

Women aren't a monolyth and each of them will want and expect something else

1

u/Directhorman2 9d ago

I recommend playng PC games and jerking off.

Way more worth it.

u/Positive-Face1705 10d ago

So one woman wants to play hard to get and it's suddenly a reflection on all women?

10

u/GoodPointMan 10d ago

so one person says they've been confused by the women in their life and you think they are talking about every woman?

1

u/Thin_Cable4155 10d ago

That's what they said. Its true though, all the woman talk to each other and get there stories straight. What do you think they're doing in the bathroom?

2

u/Zestyclose_Bed4202 10d ago

Helping the one who is pissing aim so she can coat the entire toilet seat.

Source: Too much time cleaning public restrooms.

1

u/Thin_Cable4155 9d ago

No, they're holding the one girl upside down so she can pee on the bottom of the toilet seat. (You see, I've cleaned public restrooms too)

1

u/Zestyclose_Bed4202 9d ago

If I had a nickel for every time I found that somebody had shit on the outside of the underside of a toilet in the women's restroom at Peter Piper Pizza, I would have two nickels. Which isn't much, but it's weird that it happenned twice.

u/DeRpY_CUCUMBER 10d ago

Women on Reddit love to point to the .o1 percent of men that are violent and blame the 99 percent that are not. Or the women on Reddit love to point to 50 years ago some men treated women badly, yet us modern men are to pay the price.

If you don’t like being generalized, the women of Reddit shouldnt generalize. Don’t ask us to do something you’re not willing to do yourself.

u/Crunchyjeff 9d ago

You mean, like it's every mans fault that there are men out there who are assholes?

0

u/surfergrrl6 10d ago

It helps when you realise that women, just like men, aren't a monolith. Some people like to play these types of shitty games and they're best ignored. Most people are straight up and those are the people worth your time.

u/Sie_sprechen_mit_Mir 10d ago

Do you want us to pursue you? Do you want us to respect your boundaries?

At least, according to the internet.

u/commodorewolf 10d ago

Women aren't a monolith so any time you try and think about what"women" want you're doing it wrong.

u/facepoppies 10d ago

women aren’t a monolith

u/Radical_Neutral_76 10d ago

They speak on each others behalf all the time

u/facepoppies 10d ago

you wouldn’t know tbh lol

u/ZealousidealGas8134 10d ago

they love to speak about men as if they're a monolith though!

u/facepoppies 10d ago

I think they’re just talking about you specifically

u/Relative-Relief-8816 10d ago

True they often listen to stereo.
