Other than assuming men are not being passive enough, why do almost all women continue to ignore men who leave them alone?

fear, disinterest, disgust, but in my opinion if you do "leave them alone" some of them will seem to pursue you more than if you act like a womanizer. My friend who is a big time womanizer and chicks love to hook up with him but he's constantly hitting on them. I never hit on them but they sometimes do to me once in a while but I tend to ignore them or say no. When I talk to him about this it seems like he has no clue what I'm talking about since he hits on them before they ever get a chance to pursue him so they almost never do. In other words, if you stop pursuing them once in a while they will pursue you.

you can not go around this world and think that everyone is going to feel mutually the way you do about people, places, and things. however, please keep in mind that there is one that will, for your own sake, and don't quit until you have that. It might not be today, it might not be tomarrow..then again, it might. One thing for sure, quitting isn't going to make it happen, b/c it takes two to tango, as they say.

Er, what? What does waiting to be approached by men have to do with feminism?

I'll give you a clue: it's something feminists have criticised extensively.

I don't think that is true. Some do, some don't.

If the men are leaving the women alone, why would they (the women) notice them?

Why would you not ignore someone who ignores you.

Should women reward you for not harassing them with sex?
