* On the ABC reality show The Bachelor, 25 single women competed against one another to snag the attention of one eligible 31-year-old man. After much deliberation on his part, he succumbed to a particularly ballsy babe. But while such a man-a-thon makes for good TV, going to extremes to get a guy may backfire in the end, because he has responded more to pressure than to personal longing. We asked Cosmo readers, should a woman work overtime to land a crush, or is devoting so much effort to a dude a fruitless pursuit?

YES: fight for a fella

"Chasing after a guy shows you're bold and really into him--most guys would dig that. Letting him know he's desperately wanted may make him appreciate you more."--Sydney, 20

"Nothing in life comes easy. If you want something badly enough, like a relationship, you'll eventually get it if you're willing to put in the hard work to make it happen."--Rhianna, 21

"I would like to see how far a woman would go to win me over. If she really pursued me, then I would have an idea of how serious a relationship with me would be to her."--David, 19
