Men want a woman who is upfront and doesn't play games. They want to know how you feel about them without having to guess. Men aren't very good at guessing. Is it possible to show that you're interested in someone without coming off as just another thirsty chick?

 

The answer to that is simple, yes. Although in this day in age there seems to be a fine line between the two, it still is very possible to be up front without being thirsty. The key is to be upfront yet subtle. Seems like an oxymoron huh? Well, it's not. A little goes a long way. 

 

Let's think about the differences between interest and thirst. Interest means that you would like to carry on some type of relationship with someone, usually on an emotional level. Basically, you are interested in getting to know that person better and becoming more than just friends. Thirst means that you are highly attracted to someone, usually on a physical level and would like to peruse their pants if the time allowed. Constantly telling someone you want to jump their bones makes them think that you're only into them based on physical attraction, therefore leading them to believe that you are thirsty. In order to be considered thirsty there has to be an exaggerated level of interest. Complimenting someone or telling them once in a while that you would like to get with them is not thirst. Doing it several times a day, hour or every time you see them is. 

 

If you don't want someone to mistake your interest for thirst make sure that they know that your attraction isn't just to their physical, but also their mental. Make sure that they are aware of the fact that you would like to build something with them and not just jump in the sack. The more you show that you're willing to invest time into growing with someone, the least likely they'll accuse you of having foul intentions.

This was SO on point. It IS a tough balance to find, but I say don't let go of your schedule and life so quick (let me rephrase that, EVER) as soon as you find someone you're interested in and want to pursue beyond the physical. For instance, me and my "guy" (who I'm doing the suttle pursuit with) were handling some business that he was helping me with, and in the middle of it I turned to face him and (he is like 6'7 300 lbs., I'm 5'4 125-135 *girls know what I'm talking bout lol*) just caught me off guard with his physique and build he doesn't "look" 300 lbs. And it was SO sexy and manly! Lol Anyway, I instantly gave him a severe once over, but immediately snapped out of it to finish what we were doing, I just got right back to business. It was very pure and unintentional yet VERY apparent what I was thinking. Body language really is a language that is readable. I could say more but I hate over wording because I have quite the imagination. ;-)

Majority of men deal with things in black and white....there are no gray areas.

I am a very upfront woman, and I noticed that men don't really appreciate that too much! I have never been one to be thirsty, but I don't mind letting a man know from the gate what it is about him that  find interesting. I have had plenty of men tell me that it was intimidating, and that they'd rather "chase" the woman. They say that women are confusing, but so are dudes :-/

Most men who want women to be up front with them are the very one's who AREN'T being up front with her...  he needs to know how far she's invested and or will invest herself to see just how much  schit he will be able to get away with.

The moment the women puts him on the "I will let you know if I & when I feel like telling you" it is the moment he bounces because he can't stand a woman treating him how he treats women or he gets all emotional because he met his match and she's everything he wanted but she's just in it for whatever is clever...

 

If you don't know KNOW the person... save the thirst for an ice cold beverage... people only let you know what they want you to know, beauty if only skin deep and there are drugs that masks a person's sexually communicable disease to make it look as though they're healthy...

 

Proper judgement is to be used at all times so you won't regret any moves that you made!

Alot of these comments are on point. USE PROPER JUDGEMENT, and NEVER STOP YOUR SCHEDULE. If you think that he is playing games, and may not be up for what you are looking for, chances are that he is. I agree that some guys want it spelled out in black and white because they want to play games, while others really would like to know how you feel so that they can move forward with you, you just have to have the sense to be able to tell who is who. Its very well possible to show your interest without being thirsty, you just have to know what you are doing ;)

Just curious. What do black people have against working for wealth ? Why do they have to marry someone with money, and steal it from them.Continue
