I'm not sure if it had something to do with sexual revolution in the 70's, or the recent newfound sexual independence that women engage in, but somewhere along the way men have lost what makes them attractive to women.
First off, why are men such wimps right now? Hopefully some of you ladies can vouch for this, but if you're interested in a girl and want to engage her in conversation, DO IT WITH CONFIDENCE! I've seen so many men lately that have so much anxiety built up from the anticipation of approaching a woman that it blows my mind. She's a human being! She enjoys a good conversation just as much as you probably do. And you can bet that she's going to sense your nervous, awkward behavior right off the bat and write you off as someone she probably wouldn't want to be around anyways. Here's some hints guys: be sincere, talk to her without any ulterior motives, and do it with confidence. Just imagine yourself in the same situation; You're probably sitting around with several friends and a woman approaches you but doesn't do so with confidence and cannot carry on a conversation with you because she's too nervous, this in turn makes her appear to be less interesting than I'm sure she is. Don't get me wrong, it's a different situation when women approach men, and I realize some girls are shy too which is ok, I'm just trying to use a somewhat proper analogy here.
A lot of men are plain terrified of women even once they have been dating a woman for some time. Some act as if they are inferior to her and are constantly amazed at how they ended up with her, and this disallows them from stimulating a woman intellectually because they are constantly tip-toeing on edge trying to please them.
Keep your individuality intact men, don't try to be something you aren't. Be honest and be the person you are when you're talking to a girl, otherwise, she won't stick around. Women will like you for being sincere, and to have your own opinion. I know several of my male friends that let their girlfriends make every single decision. If they are trying to go out one night, the guy will be like, "Whatever you want to do baby." I'll tell you this right now, that's not going to fly with her. Tell her what you want to do, and make the decisions sometime. It's all about balancing out the decisions in the relationship and being equal. It's unattractive to me when a woman always says things like "Whatever you want to do baby." I want her input. How am I supposed to get to know her if she always agrees with me? Don't always agree with women, men. I promise you they will be more into you if speak your mind, share your hopes and dreams, and have personal drive.

This is funny for me to read, I have been married for 13 years. But I do agree with you. Especially the part of saying what you want. When my husband and I have a "date night" he never says what he wants to do. It is very frustrating that I always have to be the one to decide. I would even settle for a compromise! I would sit through a "guy flick" at the movies if he would just tell me what he really wanted to watch. I know he doesn't want to sit through my "chick flick"!!
