Besides the obvious physiological differences, there are also differences in the way men and women think, speak, and behave. Excerpt from Toward a Meaningful LifeĬontemporary society is just beginning to delve into the true distinctions between men and women. It’s a really good indicator that the woman is into you, there is so much game playing going on and people who are upfront are really attractive, regardless of gender.After thousands of years of male dominance, we now stand at the beginning of the feminine era, when women will rise to their appropriate prominence, and the entire world will recognize the harmony between man and woman. Yeah, I like it when women initiate the date, because it saves me having to do it.īy asking me out on a date, it shows that she isn’t bound by and doesn’t adhere to traditional gender roles, and that’s the kind of woman I want to date. I hate when a woman says ‘you love it’ about teasing me. I’d say it’s nice if there’s a cheeky ask, but no pressure.įorcing me into meeting would get me along, but I’d feel trapped inside my own head at the slightest small thing that we disagree on. Style it as though you’re giving the man a choice, when really, there isn’t one.įor instance, say ‘there’s a bar in this area and 6:30pm on Friday would be a good time to meet.’ Sam, 30, London To have the woman take control can be very seductive. Socially, men have always been seen as the ones to take control and arrange the date. (Picture: Getty/ Ella Byworth) Bill, 27, London I’m one of those people who loves organising cool dates, but I’m also a huge fan of women taking control and initiating the date. You want things to be as natural as possible, so you shouldn’t be waiting for me to ask you. How the women do it doesn’t really make much of a difference to me – just keep it casual. It’s quite refreshing when a girl asks you out on a date.ĭating has changed loads in the last few years, and there’s no longer the same kind of formality. To prove my point, I asked 14 men to tell me why they’d like more women to initiate a date – and how they’d like us to do it.
It’s even been a turn-on for some of them. Personally, I’ve found that being the one who makes the first move can be empowering, and most of the men I’ve dated have appreciated the direct approach. From rom-coms where women sit around waiting for the man to call, to school dances, where the guy has to ask the girl to be his date.
Throughout Western history, tradition has dictated that the man be the one who initiates the romance. If a man doesn’t like the fact that you’ve had the courage to ask him out, he’s not a man worth dating. I’ll admit that to some extent this might be true, but I’d still like to call bulls***.
