 Here's what YOU said in answer to the question, "Do you believe that the man should always be the pursuer in a relationship?"
19% said, "Yes. Men have to pursue women for it to work out."
50% said, "Yes. But a woman can let him know she's interested."
31% said, "No. A woman should be able to pursue a man equally." I think these results indicate how much women desire to have the same power and control in directing a relationship. But while women acknowledge that men are the rightful pursuers, women can still have an influence. However, how strong of an influence is still unknown. As I said in my answer on the Message Board post "Is he trying to date me?" ". . . . men are more likely to pursue a woman when he receives clear signals that she's interested in him." So while 31% of you believe that "a woman should be able to pursue a man equally," I think that's wishful thinking. Women need to accept that some gender biases still exist, just as they did in Sadie Hawkins' time.
