Do Men Approve of the Women Making the First Move?

January 16, 2016 by Pam Maynard

 

Some women feel free initiating a conversation with a man. They like to give their numbers, call first, and make the first move to kiss a man. All of them have different reasons for being so bold and pushy. The main question is whether guys like it when a girl holds the reins. Generally, the answer is yes, but not always. Men have their reasons too. Our team and Romance Russian Bridal agency wrote these tips to help you.

Reasons why men do like it

Probably, the main reason why some men advocate woman’s initiative is that sometimes they want to relieve a burden of expectations that rests on their shoulders. There is another question: should women make the same moves the men usually do when they want to start a relationship. The top question is whether it’s OK to ask men out. Every man who has ever fallen in love or had a crush know that feeling of doubt about whether she’s into you too. Being so unsure takes a lot of effort to get the courage up and tell her about your feelings.

Men would be very glad to get rid of the worries caused by their uncertainty. They also like when they don’t have to take the responsibility. Thus, women making the first move are very welcome.

A bold woman is a dream of every shy boy. What can be better than being passive and knowing that she will take the initiative at each stage of your relationship? A woman who likes to be in charge will make the life of a timid guy much easier eliminating all kinds of stress he may experience making the first moves. Why not like that kind of women?

Confident women are so sexy. Woman’s self-assurance is what turns the men on. Deep down guys like to be lead by girls. When they see a woman who knows her own mind and is ready to take decisive steps to get what she wants, they can’t even think what can be sexier than that. However, men distinguish between confident and cocksure girls. While the first are strongly desired by men, the latter may repel them. Men see a confident woman as self-sufficient, independent, and with no hang-ups.

Reasons why men are against women taking charge

There are still those guys who don’t like it when a girl makes the first move. They may sound a bit old-fashioned as the world has changed greatly since the times of chivalry, but they have their arguments.

The opponents of the women taking charge to make the first move say that the only situation in which they would give the reins to a girl is initiating the first sex. However, they totally disapprove of women who steal from them the right to be the first to ask out or other intimate moments. If a girl makes the first physical move, some guys may think how many men she’s dated that she became so bold to offer sex so soon. She is taking the risk of making the impression of a frivolous girl.

Another reason against the women’s boldness is that some guys are afraid of the brave girls. They think that these women deprive them of their male role. It happens when a man wants to ask you out and be the initiator of your kiss, but, in fact, everything turns out to be vice versa. Both young guys and adult men get intimidated by the too pushy women. They think that these women are already stealing their masculinity and will keep doing that in their further relationship. This is the thing that gets them scared stiff.

Guys with old-fashioned views on the relationship between a man and woman are ardent proponents of men’s domination in relationships. They still believe that chivalry is not dead and men should open the door for women, help them on with their coats, and be the first to ask out, call or text, and so on. They don’t care about the new trends of the contemporary world, about that gender equality, or feminist movement. It doesn’t mean, however, that they are woman-haters; they just were brought up in that traditional way.
