Show interest?

Does anyone else, specifically women, think that it's ridiculous for men to be the one that have to ask people out the first time, or to make the first physical move? I just feel like men need that too, tired of feeling like I have to work to be loved, it'd be nice for someone to just show interest in me first. I just feel that it's probably one of the worse gender stereotypes we have. Edit: I should establish that I am not an incel who thinks that women owe me something, I understand that they do not. However, I do believe that the precedent we have for men to ask and women to be asked further objectifies women in some sense. (edited)

I'm afraid it's basic sexonomics. Guys are notorious for taking female advances for granted. Example: think of a woman who makes sexual advances freely. What happens? While dating advances are less extreme, guys are more willing to accept female interest because they're lonely/horney. Women are more likely, statistically, to reject men they have no interest in. Women who don't want to be taken for granted use this as one layer of vetting. She should be responsive if she's interested too, though.

As a man, after asking a handful of women out, I almost never want to do it again, I'd much prefer if a woman would make the first move. But bc I'm pan I'd ask guys out first, more so depends
