>The girl always has to contact the guy first. It's just how it works

That seems a bit childish.

Not only that, it seems like an ineffective strategy. I can't imagine you'd get more than a 10% response rate from this - and that's if you are exceedingly attractive. If you are just an average joe, this strategy basically does not work. If I had enough things going on in my life though I'd also always wait for the woman to contact me first because I've been used and manipulated too many times and don't see most women as worth the effort.
I'd make a wager that the original commenter we're referring to is from the UK.

Men initiating interest with women isn't a universal cultural standard and that's one of the places where women asking men out is much more common.

I am from the UK.
Nailed it. :D
That's because it is. Most people grow out of this sort of thing, eventually.
