Man solicits the woman, and the woman does not solicit the man.

Man solicits the woman, and the woman does not solicit the man.

Usually, it is the male who romantically pursues the female, and not the opposite.

(His disciples asked Rabbi Dostai bar Rabbi Yannai: Why does a man court a woman, and no woman courts a man? He replied: It is like a man who lost a lost object; who searches for whom? The owner of the lost object searches for his lost possession – Niddah 53b.)

Expression (Hebrew)

אִישׁ מְחַזֵּר עַל אִשָּׁה, וְאֵין אִשָּׁה מְחַזֶּרֶת עַל אִישׁ

Definition (Hebrew)

בְּדֶרֶךְ כְּלָל הַגֶּבֶר מְחַזֵּר אַחֲרֵי הָאִשָּׁה יוֹתֵר מֵהָאִשָּׁה מְחַזֶּרֶת אַחֲרֵי הַגֶּבֶר.

("שָׁאֲלוּ תַּלְמִידָיו אֶת רַבִּי דּוֹסְתַּאי בְּרַבִּי יַנַּאי: מִפְּנֵי מָה אִישׁ מְחַזֵּר עַל אִשָּׁה, וְאֵין אִשָּׁה מְחַזֶּרֶת עַל אִישׁ? מָשָׁל לְאָדָם שֶׁאָבַד לוֹ אבֵדה, מִי מְחַזֵּר עַל מִי – בַּעַל אבֵדה מְחַזֵּר עַל אבֵדתו" – נִדָּה לֹא ע"ב).
