The Hunter
Now if we look back to our cavemen ancestors, we can see that the men were the hunters when it came to most things: food, shelter and of course women.
Fast forward on a bit to the Victorian era (or there about) the same thing: men had to pursue the women- romance them and then eventually pop the question (as well as the cherry).
Moving on to today and what the flipping hell has happened? We have men who are scared to approach women because of the potential threat of being ravished alive by a promiscuous woman, whose goal in life is to get so many notches on her bedpost it becomes a toothpick; and men who think that being a hunter of women either equates to being a sexual pest which women will cross the pub to avoid, or some swanky twat who thinks that by flashing his cash or his 'witty' personality will net him any girl he sets his sights on.
Basically all the lines have become blurred and neither of the sexes is quite sure of their roles anymore. Take my friend. She has recently started an office job and set her sights on a guy who works there. They regularly share a bit of banter here and there when the boss isn't watching but almost a month on and he hasn't asked her out?
Now this raises the question why? They are both single, and its obvious they are both attracted to each other, but she can't understand why he hasn't been hunting down her phone number. Now yes women do normally tend to turn detective when they find a guy they like (yes we do go through the phone directories for your numbers and pretend we meant to call someone else when we 'accidentally' dialled your mobile), but why should we have to? Ok the guy may be shy or unaware of if my mate likes him but for goodness sake guys, put your pride to one side and ask a lady out! My motto in life is if you don't ask, you don't get.
According to psychologists we are subconsciously aware if someone is attracted to us by the persons body language so, if you could just concentrate for a little bit you would probably see if you are in with a good chance of her saying yes to you asking her out, and that cuts out the risk of rejection and embarrassment.
I say bring back a bit of the old days. I think it would do us all good if men were to romance the women a bit and women wouldn't get up on their high horses when it comes to women being the 'new' men. I don't think there is anything wrong with a girl acting like a bit of a lady and a guy treating her as such. Ok so don't go overboard and start writing poetry, but what ever happened to the occasional bunch of flowers or box of (low fat) chocolates?
More to the point before you can even get to that stage you guys have to ask us out! So take a deep breath and go for it. Even if you do get turned down (and we would never admit this) any women will be flattered and you will make her day and who knows, after sleeping on it she may change her mind. After all it's a women's prerogative to change her mind but it should be a man's duty to get her thinking about it in the first place.
