Simple question: do you agree or disagree with the following comment (and yes I realize that it really depends on a whole host of other circumstances, but at a basic level)...

A Man's Persistence is Stronger than a Woman's Resistance...
 
Disagree, it really depends on how much you like the person to start with. Also some people change their mind easily when shown acts of affection etc... I am not one of those

TRUE!!!!!!!

Uh, hello? This is why the men we "can't stand" and don't give a second glance chase us the hardest and the ones we :love: over act a donkey with us.

I have seen it time and time again so yes, I believe that a man's persistence is (and SHOULD BE) stronger than a woman's resistance...because a woman's a heart is a precious thing that should be fiercely guarded. If he can't be bothered with proving worthy of such a gift, then he has no business getting the time of day.

Act like a goddess, get treated like one! :look:

At first, my inner sister girl had me thinking 'hell no this ain't true, we can resist!".

And then I thought about it. This is the very reason why so many women tell stories of marrying men that they weren't in any way sold on after a few dates.

On the flip, when it comes to men, when presented with something they really truly want, they will and do adapt.

...and let a sister see the tangible results of his efforts and we are in loooooooove. Lord knows we love projects! :yep:

Completely disagree. If I don't want you, I don't want you. If a guy keep persisting and I finally give in, then I must have been playing cat & mouse in the first place.
 
...looks like you'll be going out for happy hour sometime this week then? :giggle:

Stop it! :lachen:

Uh...he ain't persistent...I'm just too much woman for him and I ain't dividing the pie! :lachen:

But for real, I'll think about it with enough coaxing and persuasion. :look:

You'll be there too; don't front! :yep:

I agree. I think the statement is true.
 
I kind of agree. My friend had a guy pursuing and treating her well in every way but she just constantly told him that she did not want to date him and didn't like him that way. He kept pursuing her and treating her right and now they've been officially dating for about 4 months.
 
When I was in college this guy was always pursuing me, even when he had a girlfriend. (He even gave me a Valentine's Day card secretly while he was dating her but I didn't know it was him until after college b/c he just slid it under my door.)

After college, he once again admitted his feelings for me and I finally said "ok, let's give it a try."

Never heard from him again.

For some, I guess it's the thrill of the chase.
 
This theory is not as grounded as it may seems. There is no black and white when determining behavior performed in both states of consciousness.

I like how you completely edited this post!!! :lachen: Soooo funny.

But ITA with you. :yep:
 
Blah. If I don't want you, I don't care what you do. Unfortunately, some men take that as an invitation to worry you to death.
 
I disagree with the quote. It really depends and it can go both ways depending on the man and the woman. Sometimes the man's persistence can be stronger if that woman actually likes the man, or, in other cases, weak and desperate and decides to give in "just because" he is a man. Sometimes the woman's resistance can be stronger if she is strong, content with herself, sees the man's intentions right on, or she doesn't want that man at all who is pursuing her.

True, in some cases. It happened with DH and me.:yep:

That's me too! I have guys who've been trying to get with me for years but I'm just not attracted to them. To me attraction is everything.
 
Good question! I'll say agree. There are men that I've had to turn down multiple times, but if the right time came along I guess I could see it happening.
 
True, how do you think Nick Cannon gets his women...I friend always says "there's no such thing as no...just not yet".
