Welcome to the dating world for men.

  I've had a lot of gal friends of mine talk about guys, and have literally heard the phrase "I would probably date him, but he's too forward". Ugh.

  These 2 worlds are very different. If you meant that men are also punished for initiative in some similar way - no, general social/cultural contexts and punishments on the dating market are completely different for men and women.

    I strongly prefer women who take the initiative, because there've been too many times that I misinterpreted some signal as being indicative of interest. I decided that the friendships were more important than the possibility of a romantic relationship, so I stopped asking for a long time. When the reverse happened, it never meant the end of a friendship. Things just tended to go smoother. I don't know if most men just decide "screw those friendships" and go for the gusto, or what, but that never made sense to me.
