Because I don't get approached even in casual speak by women. Hell I never see that around here anyway. If I'm approached by someone, they're a friend and all of the women I know are married.

My observation is that guys know when they're being approached, no matter how casually. They tend to interpret everything as an approach, as being about them, even when it isn't. What I was trying to point out by bringing that up is that maybe some of you should pay more attention to women who do talk to you. Just because they don't hit you over the head and drag you back to their cave by the hair doesn't mean you're not being approached. It's just something to consider.

Oh man, RT.

I have had some women give me some very strong signals and then I turned out to be dead wrong when I made my move.

So I don't pay attention to signals anymore. Unless she figuratively clubs me over the head.

But for other guys, it might be different.

I guess it just goes to show you can't assume anything, and always proceed with caution, or something. Boy, this stuff can be complicated.

Yeh, the very few times I thought someone was interested in me, I turned out to be very, very mistaken. I assume nobody is interested.

That's what I do, but it's more true than assuming lol

Exactly miz Ruth, exactly. I did not know other guys did this as well, but as for me, I tend to interpret everything as an approach, a sign if you will. If a girl smiles at me, my mind starts to wonder off where I do this wierd thing where I fantasize that we're together. { not sexualy, but just together }
Obviously I know that not every girl who speaks to me and is polite is approaching me. But, when that does happen, I sometimes wonder, "hmmmm could this girl be into me" And then I say nawwww, she was just being nice.

So, I guess if I actually were ever approached, it could have gotten lost in the frey, if you get what I mean.

You don't have to sell us on this, we're already there.

And if you're looking for women in bars who appreciate guys like you, you're looking in the wrong place pretty much, though I've known a couple of women who went for nice guys in bars. Hot women who were tired of sleazy guys coming onto them just because they looked hot.
Maybe they aren't nice guys?
