Subject: Things you don't understand about the Opposite Gender
But then, so do young boys. They just do ti differently with penis waggling contests.
Which can often end up... well...
The people in the past who convinced themselves to do unspeakable things were no less human than you or I. They made their decisions; the only thing that prevents history from repeating itself is making different ones.

Or they bitch about how life sucks even-though they have a boyfriend, good group of friends and a colorful life.
Boys do that too. I laugh when I see them post "OMFG I GAKKING (replace this with a well know f- word) HATE MY LIFE!!! FML!!!" when an hour or so previously they were posting about going on a piss up with their mates after being paid or going to dinner with their GF or whatever. Some of them have no right to complain. At all. Period. Ever. !.

I hate that.
I'm sitting at around 45 friends, and nary a bad thing has ever been on my Status. Mostly just musical lyrics.
I have had at least four girls as "friends" that have been like this; one of them has 10,000 friends, 1,500 pictures of herself on there, and almost every other update is "Don't like me? Kiss my ass". Another one had a freakin go-cart, a good 500 friends, and a boyfriend of three years, and every other update was "FML"......
I've never feared Death or Dying. I've only feared never Trying.

-.- Thats annoying when they post updates every 30 seconds. This is what I like doing. The girl says "at the coffee shop"
I type "Just walked into a coffee shop"
She types "Going out with the girls to club."
I type "Going out to a club."
She types "going to bed."
I type "Climbing a tree."
OF course people know its a joke because I linked it to comedian. And then I said ok. Guys I was joking but seriously get the Frack off facebook and get a life.

Nah. Never mate. I am not a creepy stalker. Just a tracker who goes into the woods and looks for animal trails, and human footprints that aren't suppose to be there in the first place...

Subject: Re:Things you don't understand about the Opposite Gender
Why is there a growing necessity for men to be the ones to approach the opposite sex? Thus far i've been rejected a fair few times, and had my heart, to loosely quote a well known song, 'torn into pieces, and have every piece thrown into a fire' and yet you still want me to come to you? Tell me, does it get hard having to say 'no' to everyone? Or does bad experiences with chasing relationships simply not register as a good enough reason to come to me for once?
I mean God forbid you have to walk over and watch everyone in our group (or simply just passers by or randomers who want to eavesdrop) simultaneously stare you out, whilst you try and pluck up enough of that tattered courage and self-esteem to even say a few words.

Growing necessity? 's been always like that, I guess. Men want to hunt their prey, women want to be seduced, yadda yadda. A "social convention", if you will. I wouldn't mind if a girl asks me out on a date, but I wouldn't expect her to, due to how things work. And I definitely would not expect a woman to propose to me...that's a man's job and has always been.

I never said anything about proposals. And yes, it is becoming a growing necessity; less and less women are taking the first step, relying on a man to do it every time for whatever reason because surely there's nothing that could actually dissuade them, and if they don't then they're lazy/don't care/<insert other crazy notion here>

Don't know man, it's basically been "socially proper" for the man to do the asking/courting for centuries,and most people just see it as "the way it is.",however...I don't see this as an absolute in all cases,many woman are empowered enough to forgo the "standard" man ask woman answers BS and go after who they have interest in.
Really it's the type of woman,I've known many who are completely comfortable with saying to men "We really should go out sometime."...if they're interest enough.
I am both selfish and chaotic. I value self-gratification and control; I want to have things my way, preferably now. At best, I'm entertaining and surprising; at worst, I'm hedonistic and violent.

Indeed. I have found that rather stirring, when the women are the ones who ask me out. As long as it is done in a non creepy manor, that is.

My first wife initiated our "Dating Process",I was sitting around with some friends and she walked up and asked if I'd " Like to go hang out sometime."...We got Married a year later...of course we did get divorced three years after that...but...that's besides the point.

You know I wished that was possible sometimes. And I feel under appreciated sometimes. As people just think i am doing it to be noticed when I just automatically do it.. Kinda sucks being a boy scout because its kinda of like natural after you do it for so long.

Oh, it is possible, you just have to get lucky.
Also, just don't care about that other people don't "appreciate" you, they probably never will in the way that you want. As long as you appreciate you, that's all that matters.
