Do You Classify This As Defacing Of A Woman's Pride? Please Ladies And Gents! by TheSeeker(m): 9:02pm On Jul 06, 2009
It's been a common phenomenon that some girls find guys attractive and chat them up. It happens such that, when the guy has little or no interest in them, they show a great deal of interest and sometimes talk them into a relationship.

I understand before the guy accepts such proposal, he might have been somewhat interested in the girl, and they both start to kick it. What do you think about this situation? Do you think it's normal for a woman to talk up a guy for a relationship? If you think so, why?

If your opinion is that it ain't normal, why? If it's happened to you before, can you share a little bit of your experience?

PS: In some parts of Africa, they see it as the woman throwing away her pride of womanhood.

I don't know how to comment on this. It's happened to me before but I tried not to think too much of it.
On this side of the world there's nothing abnormal or extradordinary about it.

im all for the rights of women, requesting we be treated as human beings and all that feministic BS
but im on the fence on this issue,
i guess it depends on the approach
if she hounds the guy
yeah she's def throwing her pride away (whatever that actually means)

I think its very wrong for a lady to talk a guy into being with her.The whole "commin together" thing needs to be natural.The guy might end up choosing to be with the girl all because of pity.The lady should not force the guy into being with her and vice versa.

just speaking generally. black girls tend to expect the guys to toast them.
while with white ppl, the girls are expected to toast the guys.

funny ain't it
maybe just in my experience

There are relationships where the lady asked the guy out and they did really well -- and still do. Britney Spears was just an arrogantly stupid girl who was way too deep into her own head. Don't even get me started. That girl is a black sheep to womanhood.

yea definitely. i agree with u

also, when guys are responsible for toasting the girls, the guys usually fall on the short end of the stick. it means that they are the ones who likes the girl more and the girl prolly just followed along and sometimes doesn't like the guy as much ( i mean eventually she likes him better and all that so it works out most of the time)

with the girls that toast the guys, the girl falls on the short end since she likes the guy more and the guy is just following along (ex. kfed hahaha) like u mentioned in ur first post, " he might have been somewhat interested" or "have little or no interest" etc

Correctly judged. Although, I still don't think women who talk up guys are losing their pride. It all depends on how the guy sees it. Some guys see it as just plain stupidity. Some take advantage of that to do whatever they want, he'd say "after all she asked me out". But overall, I think a woman who comes out boldly to tell a guy such should be commended for her courage.
Re: Do You Classify This As Defacing Of A Woman's Pride? Please Ladies And Gents! by Busybody2(f): 12:44am On Jul 07, 2009
It is a no no for me, I ain't even gonna sit on the fence for this, what if she gets knocked back and gets an iso, ouch embarassed and i heard that iso thing really hurts too cheesy

One thing I have learnt over the years is that if you fancy a guy, smile at him to put him at ease, if he likes you, he will approach you, if he does not fancy you, you still have your pride intact and have lost nothing.

I found this out when i discovered that we had this friend who was not that goodlooking yet always managed to draw guys attention to her to the extent that they'd come over to where we all were and only single her out to talk to her angry

I was already plotting how to broach the subject of what soap/cream she was using to do the trick, when one of our friends pointed out to us that whilst the rest of us ladies were flaring our nostril and had the look of a bulldog chewing a wasp, like a typical naija lady, she was all smiles and had a welcoming friendly disposition that made guys comfortable enough to approach her . . . cheesy cheesy cheesy

I totally agree. i don't think they're losing their pride either and it depends on how the guy interprets it. definitely

Strenuous chain of friendship. Anyways, each time you remembered that, I bet you'll feel sober, won't you?

You said you slap yourself till tomorrow for not smiling.  grin grin  Just kidding anyways. But a smile goes a long way I have to say. Personally, I wouldn't go for a lady who doesn't smile. The first thing that attracts me to a lady is her smile and not with ugly teeth grin grin

everything w used to know is fast changing and taking a new twist.
society has so changed and its only normal that we change Whit it.
its only an unreasonable man that wud not evolve with the times.
ladies now control good jobs, ride flashy cars( thier peko)
and even afford to build their own homes.
the society has made us equal in all, so i dint see anything wrong in her making her intent known to a guy.
if that's how she plays, am gud to roll. as long as i like her.
notin says a forward thinking lady is loose.
she only bold to achieve what she wants. including relationships.

Nothing wrong with a girl chatting a guy up first,  if she is bold enough and can stand the disappointment if the guy says no.  I will not chat a guy up first but I can make my attraction known in a subtle manner like smiling, greeting him etc.  I have never chatted a guy up first but I have acted in nice friendly manner that showed my interest, to which some guys have reacted positively.  I agree wtih Busybody on her comment below. The word is be friendly and approachable!

Nothing wrong with a girl being forward if she likes a guy. Depends on the guy too I think - some may be turned off whilst others will be turned on!!

Couldn't ask a guy to marry me though - I'd always be wondering if he really wanted to marry me or if he just didn't have the guts to say no! Lol - now I know what you men go through! undecided

As for pride - not sure if its a pride issue. For me, its more how old fashioned a girl is.
