Disclaimer: No I don't mean with approaching to message a woman on Tinder or so. That's not approaching, that's just messaging and hiding behind your Smartphone in case it's not working.

The reason why I actually make this post is because of the two other threads I saw about women not being approached. The guys (or atleast some) couldn't believe that there are women that get not approached. The thing is it's way more common than you think. I'd argue way more than before. And it makes sense you realize how much OLD is booming. We already know that most women don't even use OLD. The ratio is 8 men : 2 women. And since you focus on the online stuff anyway then why you try it in real life? I've seen it with my some of friends who are on Tinder. None of them has ever approached a girl in RL (tbh I also didn't). It's even more of a thing in Gen Z who are known for being socially retarded, and anxiety ridden. (Possible evidence the amount of posts from guys asking why women aren't asking out) Another reason (maybe the most important) is also because it's an ego thing. I'm honest putting my ego on the line for the sake of approaching a woman doesn't sound great. Really not. And most people know how important it is for men to keep that intact. Maybe more than Sex? Idk.
