I certainly don't. My SQ (Social Quotient) is way down their when it comes to asking girls out (so far I've asked 3 in 19 years). I would love it if the women would take the initiative. It makes things sooo much easier. > It just so happens that I am a somewhat >aggressive female, and many of the men I know and/or have pursued find me >intimidating. (I have been told about this directly by close male friends.) I would like a little aggressiveness, but not so much that one persons dominates the relationship. It should be an evenly balanced affair. >I know a lot of men claim to want women to make the first move, but in >practice I find it disturbs many of them. (Of course, some of them think >it's wonderful!) Darn Tootin! > >Some ideas about this: either men are just used to being the aggressor, or >perhaps they like to feel like a conquering hero? Dunno. Same here. I don't have these feelings so I can't really explain where they come from. Life, Love, Laughter, Chris Andersen -- "Roads? Where we're going we don't need any roads!"
