Me Tarzan, You Jane

How can men be such p*ssies without actually having 'em? Pardon my french but the male species have been the cause of major frustration lately. I often feel like I'm back in high school where the men are still boys and as boys are incapable of making any kind of bold move. And by "move" I mean anything from the simple act of calling a girl, to asking her out, to (good heavens!) kissing her at the end of the evening, and beyond. This passivity is maddening.

I think the Guy Who Makes The First Move is quickly becoming extinct and is being replaced by the Guy Who Waits For You To Make A Move or the Guy of the Half-Assed Moves, neither of whom I find particularly desirable. Look, I totally sympathize with the Fear Of Rejection but confidence is a very sexy and increasingly rare quality. Anyway it seems men are unable to make a move even when the women are - as far as we're concerned - obviously receptive. Shy can be sweet for a while, and then it just plain sucks.

I can honestly say that I've had to make the first move (and practically all subsequent moves) with the last five guys I've dated, even when it was clear that they liked me. This includes the policeman who could carry a loaded gun everyday but couldn't summon up the courage to kiss me. I'm not suggesting men go out and club women over the head and drag them unconscious to their caves but I personally find a well-timed brutish move kinda hot. I wish one or two of the guys currently hovering uncertainly around me would just swing by on a vine and whisk me off into the trees.
