Women Who Initiate Are More Likely to Catch a Guy’s Attention

In the world of dating, a common stereotype is that men are the ones to initiate the first move instead of women. They are usually expected to be the first person to ask a woman on a date, and they are even seen as the proper party to propose and ask a woman for her hand in marriage. However, recent studies on online dating platforms have explored what it would be like if women were the ones to make these moves. Is it becoming more acceptable for women to make the first contact or ask guys out on dates?

This could totally change how people date and the ways relationships are formed online. Read on to learn why women who make the first move are more successful.
