or, I'd just introduce myself and say I wanted to meet you, then talk about why they are out today, maybe drop a small compliment, then ask her out as stated above.

Sometimes I didn't get past the first sentence before she'd tell me off.
I'm really surprised. I can't imagine being rude to someone that didn't warrant it. Of course, there are a ton of mannerless people, so I don't know why I'm surprised. But, I really can't imagine doing that to someone.

Sure, the civil rejections are absolutely fine, if my rejections mostly consisted of polite/civil rejections there's a chance I'd still be trying to approach women. Unfortunately, I'd say it's more 50/50 with the awkward/bad/laughing rejections to he polite/civil ones.

Or, still my favorite, I seem like a good guy, but I want a guy who acts like a d*ck but is sweet to me and treats me well. I can't tell yo how many women have said that amongst friends, or directly at me.

Just another lesson among many others I've learned, to teach myself to expect that absolute worst from people in every situation. Because if I get the worst it doesn't come as a surprise or shock, and to plan accordingly.

There are more men trying online dating because they want to get laid. Period. I think I've met a total of 5 men who were ACTUALLY and actively looking for a long term, monogamous partner. Most of the men (IRL and online) I've come across were simply looking for a short term fling, FWB or ONS.

It's not that she feels entitled, it's that she doesn't want to be used by jerks that use online dating to sleep with random women. Why is that such a bad thing? Should a woman who's overweight or just plain fat take whatever she can get, even if that means a man who is lying just to sleep with her and won't even remember her name? Oh, right, she must be desperate for any type of attention since she isn't attractive

People tend to seek out the best possible mate they can get based on their own value as a mate and there is nothing fair about dating other than water seeks it's own level. The sooner a person who is not happy with their mating value comes to grips with this the sooner they can do the one thing they can do to change their lot, up their value. We can all grow or improve ourselves in some way, for me at least, in many ways. This is the only sure path to a real hope of attaining a better mate, by being one.

An entitled ass? She doesn't like short guys, big deal. I've seen quite a few profiles where men have listed 'No more than 120 lbs' or 'no smaller than a D cup' or 'No taller than 5'5'. Big deal. Skip them and move on to the next.
