Bassman,,,The

70`s are gone dude.

Yeah, unfortunately.

I get approached by women, not usually in the "I want to do you"

sense, although that has happened recently. I don't hang in those types of bars any more.

It's not unusual

for a woman I don't know to start a conversation with me. And from reading others here, I gathered it's not that

unusual for some others.

I was really just objecting to the "god made men and women that way" tone of the

original post. Sorry. I just think that's incorrect.

Gender bias - Yes
Psychological certainty - No

Testosterone and other masculine traits

makes men more likely to take risks, but that doesn't mean that women cannot approach men.

Again, it's natural

for men as a gender to be trying to hook up with anything in sight and for women to be selective because men are

trying to hook up with anything in sight (or because women try to select the best mate for reproduction)...but that

doesn't mean it has to be that way.

The reason most women don't approach men is just the law of supply and

demand. If attractive women get approached many times every night (high demand, limited supply), then why on earth

would they ever have a reason to approach some random guy? Where's the motivation? They can be choosey with the

guys they have in front of them. Hell, they can treat men like dirt ('charge a high price' in the supply/demand

analogy) if they want to because there will always be someone willing to pay that price to get laid.

On the

other hand, take a guy who has a few good choices and finds himself competing with every guy around for their

attention (high supply, limited demand), what is he going to have to do to outdo the others? He needs to prove

himself because there are so many other options and not that many attractive women looking.

Yes, there is a

slight gender factor. You cannot discount it. It works in the stock market as well. Women perform better than men in

general because they're not as aggressive. It works in the dating world. Men have the instinct to want women (and

men could verify that this instinct can reach insane levels), which motivates them to attempt to reproduce with

them. However, this gender bias may easily be overcome. For instance, you don't see me hitting on every person I

want. You don't see women sitting back waiting for their lives to happen. On the other hand, you see a lot of

lonely guys and a lot of take-charge girls.

Well, as I said in another post, I've had many close female friends

this lifetime. They pretty much all say the same thing: It's really easy for a gal to get laid. It's a whole lot

harder for a gal to get laid by somebody to whom she is really attracted. Probably harder than for a guy, because

she has to filter out a whole lot more noise than a guy would. So if a female knows what she wants, and is

reasonably secure in her own sexuality, she's going to be pretty motivated if she's attracted enough...

Most

females I've known are so completely turned off by their experiences with the sexual capabilities of the males

they've been with that they just don't bother...
