Am I too old fashioned for thinking that its best for the man to ask out the woman.

Female Equality, doesn't matter who asks who

Prefer traditional gender roles in dating.

I'm a guy and I'm excited for women to ask me out.

You can only vote on one answer.

Family debate and it seems like I'm too old school. I just feel it's best if the woman doesn't appear too forward and to allow the man to show some interest first. I know that times are different but I still think that guys should make the first move.

Yes, you are, IMO. But [b]you[/b] have the right to follow that standard. What other women do doesn’t affect you, so it’s not really your concern.

@bijouxbroussard Well it was a debate within the family on how to advise the younger family members.

@REMsleep Sounds like you’re for teaching the younger generation that women are “less than”. That’s a shame.

@bijouxbroussard For the past 3 generations in my family the women have been the smartest, the strongest, leaders in my family and my community. Lawyers, pharmacists, civil rights advocates all women in my family much more than the men. That's exactly why I think that we don't need to try to take their place. We are already carrying so much of the load. Not because we cant but I want to see some chivalry first. The lady needs to be special.

@REMsleep It’s not taking their place to ask someone out. Makes it even stranger that your women are accomplished in so many traditionally male dominated areas but not supposed to ask a man out for coffee. 😳

@bijouxbroussard Wow its really amazing how we can see the same things so oppositely .
I cant say I totally get your frame of mind but I do think that women are amazing and not less in any way than men. Good thing about SW

@REMsleep And believe it or not I get what you’re saying. I’m shy. A man would generally have to make the first move, not because I think as a woman I shouldn’t, but because I know the person who [b]asks[/b] risks being shot down. And I’m not sure I’m up to that. But I know women who’ve taken even rejection like a boss. And men who haven’t.
