I really love the archetype of being Wanted it’s powerful. But honestly, even if some people won’t agree with me, I don’t think most women are used to actively approaching men. They’re generally not conditioned for it. Sure, they’ll give signals some subtle, some obvious but that’s usually where it stops. Many just don’t have the courage to go further. Some deal with anxiety, hesitation, or simply never learned how to take that leap.
And let’s be real even for us as men, it’s a process to become comfortable walking up to a stranger and starting a conversation. It’s not instinctive it’s a skill you build over time. So it’s no surprise that a lot of women are completely out of their depth when it comes to making the first move or carrying the dynamic beyond the initial glance.
Could it happen? Sure. A woman might approach you. It does happen but it’s the exception, not the rule. That’s why I prefer to take the lead myself. It’s not just about control it’s about optimizing your chances instead of waiting around, hoping someone else breaks the silence. If you’re a real celebrity then yeah, some will rush over you. That’s true. But for the rest of us, relying on that kind of attention just isn’t a solid game plan.
Unless your aura is so potent that it overrides their internal programming, most women still won’t make the first move. And even then, it’s rare. Their social conditioning runs deep it’s not easy to break through.
That’s why, even in those cases, I still believe the best move is for the man to take the initiative. It’s clear, it’s direct, and it puts you in control of the momentum. Waiting for signals can quickly turn into a confusing guessing game taking the lead cuts through all of that.
Now, once the ice is broken and the initial connection is made, that Wanted archetype becomes even more powerful. That’s when women start to lean in. They begin to crave your presence, push for dates, try to learn more about you. Once they feel a bit more comfortable, they start initiating more because now, you’re the one they want, and they’re no longer afraid to show it.
