Like any normal human being, sometimes I prefer to be a go-getter, while
other times, I would really like to have someone else do things for me.
Sometimes, it's exciting to take the risk and make the move, but, many
times I simply don't want to risk rejection. Therefore, I am very
happy to have an interesting woman make the moves. Of course, the
way she goes about it will make a difference.
 
>Some ideas about this:  either men are just used to being the aggressor, or
>perhaps they like to feel like a conquering hero?  Dunno.

I am not ashamed to admit that I, too have a male ego which likes to 
be made to feel like a "conquering hero", but having an interesting 
woman ask me out or seduce me makes me really feel like hot stuff!
