It stays free — no paywall, no account — for the next man who comes looking, the way it was free for you.

True. There's a big difference between being approached and being sought out for a relationship. Not too many are keen on being committed unless they are looking for it. You do usually have to meet them through work, school, friends, etc.
Being constantly approached still sucks because you have to filter through more trash.

I see many conventionally, well dressed up women on a daily basis. Some of them I don't see getting approached. Usually I notice the women getting approached have something that really sticks out about them. Like a ridiculously curvy body, dresses in loud colors, heels, bright hair, very noticeable long hair, etc. I think it's called peacocking.
Maybe you are attractive but just not "loud" enough physically? If that makes any sense ....
Are you quiet/in the background? Or maybe you're putting signals out there that might make you unapproachable. You don't want to have every guys attention, just quality ones.

Oh, yeah I agree with you. I've seen all types of women in relationships- average, above average, below average, etc.
I'm pretty quiet too and don't normally stand out much tbh. I think that's a big part of the issue. I've noticed people gravitate more towards peacocks rather than us who blend end. Maybe try it out for a bit and see if anything changes? If not maybe you're giving off signals of not being approachable or something like that.
Edit: there is also a distinction between being approached and being sought after for a relationship.

The only piece of advice I can give you besides what I've already said is don't become a pickmeisha. If you feel like you're catering to what men want (like Kylie Jenner and all of her surgeries which is what many of these women that peacock are also doing) then stop yourself. It's better to be authentically you than be someone you aren't just to get attention from the opposite sex. It attracts the wrong types of people
