Why do women almost always wait for the guy to make the first move?

Even though the guy won't because he is too shy? They insist on waiting and waiting and then maybe not ever going out. Why?

    Because its a strong standing tradition still for a man to ask a woman out. I do wish more women would just get off their asses and ask a guy they want to date.

    1. She doesn't want to be the one paying for anything they do together.

    2. Passivity is a female privilege. Men are the ones who should go out on a limb and having their approaches judged as adequate or Creepy.

    3. They figure men are like buses: there's another one in 20 minutes. That's true enough with the man-unfriendly Anglosphere gender ratios these days.

    I tried asking a guy out once - he looked at me like a was a pervert - that was the first and last time - not all guys are open to it.
