So Fellas...
2. It is hard approaching anybody, No one wants to be rejected. Man or women.
Women friends do play a role. They can make life hard on a man.
Men and women both give people that they are more physically atrractted more slack. If that were not the case with women Drug dealers and inmates would not be farthering so many of our children. So maybe women need to grow up a little more. A women has to get more credit if she gives good head.
Just my opinoin
I wasn't even going to say anything on this post. But is that how you feel about women?? Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome. ~Booker T. Washington~
IMO Matters of the heart CAN'T be explained, reasoned nor understood, there is no insight, no words of knowledge, NADA except ones interpretation..... maybe that is why men hardly ever chime in on posts dealing with matters of the heart (except for Dlex) because they just don't feel like their opinion would make much difference /...when dealing with emotions, the heart one can't come up with a blanket answer/explanation
Like this weight loss journey shiot and life experience shiot....everyone is going to be different...all one can do is live their life...embrace the lessons and keep it movin'
QT thank you for this post! I hope folks are paying attention, Really..but I am at the same time betting human nature would dictate otherwise...even seeing that the Men did come out of lurk mode for it!
You know I'd be really curious to see how many folks, WOMEN will actually take this information to heart and implement it in their lives
but when you do you always have some good opinions and really keep it real. 
Whatupwiddat, homie???
I just get sooooo frustrated because no one ever wants to discuss personal responsibility or how their presumptions and misconceptions dictate their behavior and what they might net without deflecting I think if people addressed those things it would make things so much easier. I always say "Think what you want, but don't treat me accordingly till I show you that you should"
It is never too late to be what you might have been

I guess I finally understand what you're getting at after re-reading this post. I cannot speak for other men. For me, I do have presumputions and misconceptions based on prior experiences. If I see/sense anything on anyone that reminds me of past ill-ending relationships (be they friendships or possible love things), yes, I pass it by. Does that mean not "manning up"? Depends on the definition. To me, part of being a man is knowing yourself. In that, you know what you like, what you desire, what you might accept (given certain cir****tances) and what you will accept under no cir****tances. Part of it, is also knowing your limitations. For example, if I'm flipping burgers in McDonalds, I'm not going to approach someone who is making high six figures. Why? Because, realistically, while it may work short term, what, exactly am I bringing to the table? Yes, I may be taking a chance on missing out on something that may well be beneficial, but everything that seems good for you may NOT actually be FOR you.
Usually, I will watch from a distance and pick up a vibe. Part of many less than savory situations I've had came from not listening to my intuition. I know I have been guilty of that in more cases than I care to count when younger. If you gut tells you to proceed, I say, why not? If your gut tells you to pass, again, why not?
again, just my .02 worth.
