Hmmmm.....I don't get approached in public often. Even when I was single or days I don't have on my wedding ring, I don't have men randomly approaching me.
As long as they are respectful, I don't see a problem with men approaching women.
You ladies aren't getting approached because you are beautiful! Men are intimidated by that!
I used to work in a very public place and had contact with a large number of men throughout the day. I have the "sisterly, girl-next-door, lady that bakes cookies, mom look. LOL
I'm not a threat to any man and I usually got their life story about some woman they are in turmoil over or some medical issue they had.
I must give off the therapist vibe. People used to tell me things I shouldn't and don't want to know
Now, getting approached for a date or because they are interested in ME...nope. Never happens.

Thank you sweetie! By the way, do you have next Thursday open.....I need a session.
If I get approached in a respectful way, then I don't mind. However, if the guy is crude, then that makes me upset. Also, if a guy approaches me while I'm with my son, I consider that to be an imposition (interfering with our time together) and I don't care for that.
This means if he is next to her at the gas pump in his white dress shirt openly exposing his 6 pack and says hi she would probably be ok with conversing with this guy.
Then when she is ready to engage in a conversation he buttons up his shirt and thinks, "Why the h*ll would she be interested in getting to know a complete stranger? Must be something superficial. (like my abs)"
Uh, gross. Shirtless men buying gas is...gross. Shirtless men in public is just tacky. I don't care how 'good' your body is.
Let me clarify my response...I WOULD NOT like. Better?
People who act like you're describing are superficial and likely college chicks. Or people who think they live in a beer commercial.
Plain and simple, people who want to 'get to know you' just from seeing you in public are suspect in my book.
LOL. Nothing. Its perception on both sides thats messing it up.
When I was single, I looked for a ring first. Second thing I looked for was does she seem approachable or does she look like she wants nothing to do with nobody. I have in the past gotten nasty looks from just smiling and saying hi. And others have returned the favor.
In my opinion, I think both men and women seem to have their guard up a bit more today than years ago.
