Do Men Ask Women Out Anymore?

Well misc brahs, do you guys ask out women anymore? I asked this girl out on a date, and she was shocked that I did, and commended me on having the balls to do it. Has social media made us socially retarded? Or is the fear of rejection just that strong?

Now that I think about it, almost every time I have asked a girl out, I've been complimented on my approach. It seems guys either cat call or just send a message on tinder/********.


/dear diary


Oh and just because I don't feel like making a 2nd thread, For those that do ask women out. I'm crushing hard on this nerdy/awkward girl at work that doesn't know how fine she is. Should I stick with my direct approach with this one? I usually don't talk to girls like this one.

Agreed, I almost had a girl interested but she gave me her fb instead (said she was "kinda" seeing someone but I told her it's ok I'm not jealous) she said thank you for having the balls to hit on me.

I could post fb convo later but man that's where I messed up. I have like 160 friends and she has 1000+ lmao and my pics are old.

This was a month ago, I talked to another girl but bro she didn't react well, I str8 walked up from behind on the shoulder (she had earphones but I said fukk it).

I'm like hey how are I what's ur name etc. Then I say do you have boyfriend. Shes like umm I'm actually going to a date right now.

Btw just lmao at how hard girls try to avoid saying "I have a boyfriend". So yeah she ended up ignoring me when I was trying to spit game.

But it's a good feeling to hit on chicks irl, more interesting than thoses tinder sloots and way simpler.

EDIT: just lol at all the mistakes I made while writing this, was not sober.

lol I remember a few year ago this girl legit thought I was weird as fuk because I didn't have a FB. Friends/followers matter for some folks I guess, which is dumb as hell. And yeah brah regardless of the outcome you're always better off going after what you want. That's why I always feel good for trying to make something happen

She was shocked cause she assumed you were gay

I always get the same reaction. I then figured out it's the type of reaction a mother gives her son when he catches the ball for the 100th time. You did it! Omg! Cause these ****ing bitches are lying. They get asked out plenty. They want to be asked out every single day however, they put all that effort into their looks it feels a waste if a new guy doesn't ask them out. So for them having one new guy a month asking them out irl is like a totes long time and one month ago may as well have been a lifetime ago and it literally never happens!

I prefer asking girls out irl than on apps/sites. If I didn't, I wouldn't have been with some of the girls I've been with. On top of that, most girls you approach irl don't expect it and are usually off the "market" so you get a step ahead of everyone else rather than that specific one receiving countless messages everyday by a bunch of thirsty whiteknight betas. As for your co-worker, don't sht where you eat. If you do, tread lightly by asking her number or giving her your number then flirt over text/calls and see if she's receptive. If not, better luck next time boyo.

Agree 100% with the bold, and that's why I do it. As for my coworker, I don't mind, the job isn't too serious. I'm a bartender and she's a server I don't think it should be that big of a deal if things go south.

get rejected, and act like it never happened and it shouldn't be too awkward. If you act sour or avoid them then it'll be weird

The trick with the shy women is that you have to go slower for them to warm up -- its like a shy neighbor's cat, you can't just walk up and try to pet it or it'll bolt.

Suppose her name is Tina, then you just say "Good morning, Tina" or something very short where she hears her name for a week or so. If she's particularly shy, she won't even say anything back initially, but after a while she should warm up to you and become more comfortable. It should be obvious in her body language when she is more receptive.

With shy women you just have to go slower, and not get frustrated if you don't get much in reciprocation for a while. Eventually they get comfortable, and then you can start conversing with them more, and then start with casual stuff like inviting them to grab some coffee with you after work, etc. That's just the way it is; if you approach them in a too direct/extroverted way they just retreat and you won't reach them at all.

Kind of like that dick they had in their mouth last month didn't count either

Honestly it's this. When women say they never get asked out it's for one of several reasons.

1. They legit never leave their house
2. They don't count the guys that ask them out that are unattractive
3. They don't count the tons of guys that talk to them out of the blue, feel them out as being uninterested, and then never pull the trigger on asking for a number or date because the guy thinks it's not worth it. I honestly feel like this is the most common reason, women (especially attractive ones) just assume men are naturally going to talk to them, try to get to know them, etc. and don't realize this is actually guys covertly trying to get some action and that the average man never has people going up to them at bars, clubs, bookstores, etc. trying to talk to them. Most women don't even realize that 99% of the time a guy talks to them out of the blue, it is an attempted pickup.

They definitely do but guys my age do it way less than older men like 30+. Men who do it especially nicely always stand out. Not single now but it does make a good impression. Something about it is just manly.

brb you: date = lets hang out with no real plans... This is how some men steal your girls. for real
