Anyone else tire of having to make the first moves all the time? [View all]

Is this a man's issue? Yeah, I think it probably is.

So, at the risk of being called "Whiny", I bring it to the floor.

This goes for initiating dates, initiating sex, and even being asked to initiate calls for helping people lift baby strollers up stairs.

Seems to me that "initiating" demands a more aggressive approach than simply waiting. And yet there is a hidden trap. Because some percentage of the time you will be rejected, deemed creepy, pushy, or other.

With calls for men to be less aggressive and with that side of male behavior being increasingly run down, where does that leave things?
