There's always another one coming.😎

If you are a good woman he is looking for you.

Might I suggest instead of criticizing men for not meeting your expectations, invite them to do so.

For example Instead of saying, "WHY DON’T MEN ASK WOMEN OUT ANYMORE?!" (the article's title), you might say, "MEN WHO ARE RELUCTANT TO ASK WOMEN OUT, I INVITE YOU TO ASK ME OUT," and add a sub-title like, "I would appreciate it." Besides being more inviting, you are expressing what is ultimately your personal preference.

Instead of criticizing men for offering what you characterize as "excuses," recognize them as "concerns" and reassure them that you are open to being asked for a date.

For example: "Fear of rejection," Instead of, "Get over yourself...", try, "I understand your concern. I invite you to ask me anyway. Confront your fears. If you get used to asking it becomes easier."

You can probably think of more diplomatic ways of expressing your other points. By inviting men to "overcome their concerns" rather than criticizing them for "making excuses" and "being pussies" you will be seen as a more inviting prospect and will attract more good men. You might also attract some not so good ones. You would have to reject them, but learn to do so compassionately and diplomatically.

Inviting is more persuasive than criticizing.
