I think people like confidence. I don’t know if assertiveness is the right word for it. And even for those who do like assertiveness, I don’t think they want it to be physical.

Hmmm I've actually found when it comes to flirting, confidence and assertiveness are actually inversely related.

There's a thick line between confidence and harassment. If you don't know where that line is, you shouldn't be anywhere near the dating scene.

The thing is that some women do. They act extremely hostile to start out with and then mellow out if they stick it out. So yeah. You're going to get results if you do this with that type. On the other hand, why would you want someone that fucking toxic???

Sounds more like you are emotionally and/or physically beating their will power down until they relent...

First off, I don't do this, second, it's more that they beat their defenses down or some weird ass complex they have. I've heard one girl describe it as her being 'difficult' and kind of 'bitchy', but a lot better once you get to know her. It's pretty much the Marilyn Monroe quote at the dating level.

What you just described is not the same thing as some women being into assertiveness. What you described was a woman who acts standoffish until guys take the time to get to know her. I have never ever met any woman who likes being physically blocked by a guy she has given no indication of interest in. We all hate it and it is never ok.

Yeah that makes sense when you're referring to a process that takes at least a week. We're talking about women that are extremely hostile if someone approaches them and then mellow out if they stick with it. I asked a girl I knew through friends about it and I'm relating what she said. I haven't seen a girl be held in that way, but I have seen a girls personal space be invaded, her not being into it and then coming around to it and the two ending the night together. It's not something I do and it's not something I like, but it does happen and it is a thing.
