It is men who miss the move..

If we miss it, it wan't enough of a move. ;) And the GPP type women don't make any type of move - they sit at the bar and make a sport of shooting down any man who doesn't remind them of Brad Pitt. Men waste far too much emotional energy on these types, who despite their physical attractiveness are best avoided.

Anyway, as I said before, it's the man's responsibility to make the first move - there's no need to wait for some sort of mostly invisible signal that she learned from last month's Cosmo.

LOL at your "67"...it's 50, actually, if the "half his age plus seven years" rule is respected, but your general point is valid.

LOL. Invisible to men, but the women see these things. One young lady who I didn't even know turned to me once and, in reference to another woman, said 'do you need to be hit with a brick'?

Sorry, but I disagree with you on this. Roles and rules of dating are not what they were even 30 or more years ago in the US.
Do I like the current rules? No. But your skating uphill if you don't deal with it.
Today, its trainwreck. I consider myself pretty old-fashioned when it comes to things. My father was always teaching me about being a gentleman to women. He's a great guy. But most gentlemen are set up to fail in todays dating game. Many women simply take it as an insult or percieve it as a sign of weakness. Many women don't even take it as a compliment or respectfully decline your advance, they hit you with the "AS IF!!!" look and walk away.

Men appreciate women who do persuing as well, as being the persue(e). We aren't @#$@ing mind readers.
