I have always wondered something. When a teenage guy has feelings for a girl, he is given a lot of support to go for her, but when a girl likes a guy, she is given tons of caution about dating, even if the guy is nice. Why is that? I mean if the guy is a jerk, she can learn from her mistakes on her own. She doesn't need spoonfed paranoia.

- Most teenage guys are raised to be strong, aggressive, brash. They are supported in their dating endeavors because they are being trained to take the initiative but also to be emotionally nonresponsive (so if he gets hurt, he just moves on to another girl).
- Most teenage girls are raised to prepare for the worst and to stay with the comfortable so that they won't leave their future homes later. Also, if she isn't cautious, it would be considered her fault if the guy takes advantage of her. They are trained to be emotionally oversensitive so being rejected in any way would be apocalyptic.

Women are taught to fear men. Men are taught to chase women.
It's pretty stupid.
If you like a guy/girl, take the initiative to get to know them more. If it fails, don't worry. Wasn't worth your time anyway.

It's no good for guys or girls to raise them that way, or train them that way. It's just honestly disgusting, if you ask me. Yes, there are certain traits that boys will typically develop, even in a social vacuum; the same goes for girls. However, to feed off of those tendencies and blow them out of proportion such that there's a significant double standard is a definite failure.
