Contrary to what women think, guys are human. We are "hunters," but we are just as shy, uncertain, and self-conscious as women. Probably more so, because most guys get 0 attention.

I still hate myself for how many relationships I missed as a teenager. I've had women literally announce in front of class that they liked me. But I honestly believed I was unlovable, and I didn't know how to escalate. I didn't love myself so I couldn't let someone else love me. Man ... I missed out on so. many. relationships. Ugh.

My point being: not every guy is super assertive. We are not a monolith, as the women here like to say. A guy can love you dearly but be unable to show it. I think women should be especially conscious of this in today's age, when the youth are taught consent is important and approaching can make you a would-be rapist. So a lot of young guys are less hunter-y.

This is why guys are always stressing how much they want women to approach and take the lead, at least initially. It clears up a lot and makes things so much easier. Women have waay more power in this area.

So yeah, I disagree.
