All it means is that women are usually passive when it comes to relationship-seeking behavior. This is a fine strategy and it doesn't make their choices any less valid, rational, value-seeking, or adult.


I disagree completely. Drifting along and dealing with life in a passive way is sure to get you something that doesn't make you happy, or something that won't suit you, and won't be good for your long-term rational self-interest.

The world is a big place, and wrong possibilities are endless. Adults are able, by and large, make correct choices - not all of them do it, mind you, but they are capable nonetheless.


All I meant is that one is usually asking the other out on dates, not the other way around. I have no idea why this precludes living an active life.

Incidentally, the pick-up artist method is all about enticing girls to go out and get you instead. And we know what all winners those guys are.
