		<description>I&#039;m probably way too late with this post for anyone to see, but it might be worth exploring the polar opposite of the woman who gives affection: The man basher.

You come across these women in the office occasionally. They slip in comments like &quot;So simple even a man can do it.&quot; They have pin-up posters with sayings about &quot;The Rules&quot; (the one that reads -- &quot;the female makes the rules,&quot; etc.). They also regularly &quot;shame&quot; men by saying the ones that have trucks are trying to &quot;compensate,&quot; the ones that play sports are really gay because they prefer the company of men, etc. 

I&#039;d like to see a post on these type of women and why --surprise surprise -- they may not get dates!</description>

		<description>Absolutely agree - but really, what&#039;s the point of bothering with a person basing their life off some two-bit HBO show? In the end, these people will just die alone cause they kept chasing after some perfect illusion. They&#039;re twits and not worth reproducing anyway.</description>

		<description>Your just living in the right place to make money but the wrong place to meet a woman. Although the first one may be changing soon, then 20 years from now it will be the right place. The appreciation level is what counts. In another place you could pump and keep the good ones.</description>

		<description>Gatsby&#039;s right.  Genevieve&#039;s comment is a prime example of why women fail.  “Then again, I’m also not one to tell a guy I think he’s attractive. I’m just not like that.”  What if a guy decides he&#039;s not like that?  If a guy doesn&#039;t tell a girl he thinks she&#039;s cute, she&#039;ll assume he&#039;s uninterested.  Why would you expect it to work different the other way?  

It&#039;s a self-reinforcing cycle; if you don&#039;t tell the guy you like his looks, he&#039;ll probably try to impress you in other ways, which usually involve running his mouth.  Which, chances are, if he&#039;s not a smooth operator, he&#039;s going to eventually say something foolish and drive you off.  Which leads you to think all guys are retarded.

Let&#039;s not be naive.  Barring the case where you&#039;re trying to pick up the person in the cubicle next to you, odds are almost 100% that the initial attraction is physical.  Why not say so?  

&quot;I&#039;m just not like that&quot; = &quot;I&#039;m going to end up living with cats&quot;</description>

		<description>It’s the feminism at its worse. In today’s singles market there are more women who are well off financially and otherwise then men. But instead of truly believing in the feminism and may be giving the poop guys a chance they are hell bent on finding the “perfect” man. That’s the main problem with women in general and more so for American women. I know quite a large number of these women are going to so disappointed. I feel sorry for them.</description>

		<description>Great post. But I have a question--what about the whole &quot;it&#039;s biologically encoded in men to pursue&quot; thing? I understand that it&#039;s a total turn-on to be approached, and it can be scary to approach a girl (especially when she&#039;s with a group of other girls), but I think a lot of other factors have to be in place for this to work.</description>

		<description>hm first of all i do enjoy reading your blog but some of these comments above me seem a little over the top. maybe its just my inner-hater coming through.

this happened a month ago? moved to the front of the queue and no follow-up info on what happened? maybe she was fighting with her man next to her and just wanted to make him jealous?

i think girls are shy about approaching guys just like guys naturally are. guys have to get over it though, you learn you have to go after what you want and have hormones pushing you along. attractive girls are used to guys coming on to them and picking through what they want so don&#039;t have to learn how to approach guys. not much motivation to do any work the way i see it. i mean if i had hot girls approaching me everywhere i went i wouldnt be busting my ass to go talk to another random one.</description>

		<description>Roosh, you know I&#039;ve been following your writing since *before* the RN(etwork) days.

The trend always has been for your writing to improve.  With that said, however, since the RLUG, DCB, and RV sites it seems that every 3-6 months your writing consistently pushes boundaries and continually improves a great deal.

I have been travelling the last 2 weeks or so, so I just went through your posts.  It&#039;s evident that you&#039;re once again turned things up another notch.      A good mix of silly, inflamatory, and insightful writing.  Well done.</description>

		<description>&quot;Then again, I’m also not one to tell a guy I think he’s attractive. I’m just not like that.&quot; -- Genevieve

Well, if you want to date a particular guy, you&#039;re going to have be &quot;like that&quot;.  The days of men always doing the approaching are over.  Men who have a great deal going for them in their lives (career success, money, good looks, etc...) don&#039;t need to work as hard for the attention of women.  So as a woman, if you want to get to know such a man (especially if he&#039;s the kind of man you want to date) then YOU will need to approach or make it quite clear that you would welcome an approach from him.  If you don&#039;t, and you sit back on your throne waiting for a Prince Charming to beg/compete for your attention, you&#039;ll be lonely and bitter, or worse, you will have to settle for a lesser man when Prince Charming doesn&#039;t bother with you.</description>

		<description>I think at least in some cases it&#039;s just that she&#039;s not into you. Not every girl is into every guy. Sometimes we see a guy and for some reason we want to make it work but can&#039;t because there&#039;s not that chemistry. The right attraction/chemistry can act as a personality lubricant in these situations, making the girl more warm and open. But it has to just happen - you can&#039;t force it.</description>
