Men, have you ever been approached by a woman?

BornAgainSpecial · 2021-07-04T11:58:28+00:00

For a long time I was very shy and had never approached a woman. I had no masculine influence in my life and never learned how. Fortunately I had quite a few women approach me, all different types too. I'm also very good looking, which is what they said, but I think it takes something else. I've been told by friends that it doesn't happen to them and that I look very approachable, meaning I look like the kind of person they would stop and ask directions from, or something like that. I don't appear cocky or pretentious I guess. That doesn't mean I don't have strong opinions and look down on women in a lot of ways. I don't know what to tell you, if you're dressing too well like a peacock or not well enough... You could probably find something to adjust. But I could have just been extremely lucky. I don't take it for granted and I appreciate how nice it is because without it I'd have nothing, but by the same turn, you should probably appreciate and embrace your own skill in getting dates because you have the power in your own hands to do that. People like me tend to end up more bitter because of all the times when it doesn't happen and we're under-equipped to do anything about it due to lack of experience.

For places to go where it is most likely to happen, I would suggest shared interest groups over gyms or bars.

Yes, pretty frequently.

Never. I'm not a great looking guy with abundant charisma though.

Ive being approach in very sutil and shy and quick non resiliant ways, so if i said no or if i didnt get the intention they wouldnt try again.
So basicaly they super suck at approaching to the point that is varely recognizable when they do it and they back off instantly.

Why would women ever need to approach men, when men will approach them and risk rejection whilst they can simply pick and choose?

You have to be either very good looking, have high social status or have lots of money for women to approach a man

Your experience is typical.

If I ever have, I was too clueless to pick up on the subtleties.

MrRonchito · 2021-07-04T23:48:42+00:00

Yeah sometimes.

It was years ago before this feminism apocalypse, so I don't really know if they keep doing such things.

Yes. It happens. Sitting down at G&L getting ready to dive face first into a juicy doublecheeser, and play with new tablet when this older woman with her son (?) in tow struck up the most awkward convo you can imagine and offered to buy my burger for me.

I wasn't interested, but I did find it adorable.

Not once in my life. I’m 30, and I’m not saying I’m good looking but I’m not bad looking wait either 🤷‍♂️ I’m also very friendly.

I have been met with horrible responses for daring to say hi to a woman before though lmao.

Fine_Musician_1016 · 2021-07-05T05:16:05+00:00

I approached both my previous and current boyfriend :)

Pintayus · 2021-07-05T10:26:45+00:00

Honestly, almost every time that I ended up getting laid or something more, she approached. I am usually thinking about other stuff whether I am at work or at parties than checking out females around me.

And I am not specially attractive. I think it is just that I don't give a shit and if on a party I find a good conversation I stick to it and forget about the game

Only when they were drunk.

I've never been approached and it would just be so nice for once. 🤷

It's easy. Get a woman pregnant with a girl. Take your 2-10 year old daughter out in public. Women, especially moms divorced or in a boring relationship, will hit on you like crazy. Like the mild frustration you are feeling now, it is also kinda frustrating when get hit on more in your 30s than your 20s when you are wearing a wedding ring and are trying to have fun with or get chores done with your daughter. IME, a son will also work, but isn't as effective as a daughter.
