Partially. What I have noticed--although not experienced personally--is that women who are slightly older and serious minded dont like competition and will eliminate men who they think are out of their league. Men, on the other hand, will take a long shot and think nothing of it.
I think it's because for many women, getting to know a man and getting along with him can make him more attractive to her as time goes on. Apparently, this does not work the same way with men. Either you're hot, or you're not. Period.
So, men can constantly shoot for women out of their league because they may have a chance if they can show her how awesome he is. Women....well... it doesn't matter how cool you are, if he's not attracted that's not changing any time soon.
I don't bother hitting on men who are out of my league physically because there's zero chance they'll ever be interested in me, unless it's just to screw and leave. It's just the way it is.

great insight. i think that women can be much more realistic than men are.
in general i think that women fear rejection more than men do. women are more sensitive.

I've found it's the opposite. Women take rejection in stride. All the fear-of-approaching, and crying-over-rejection threads here are started by guys. Women approach and get rejected all the time, they just move on. They seem to be more realistic about rejection being a normal part of the game than men do. Or at least, more realistic about it than some of the guys here.

women approach men? they may concoct a plan to lure them in, but straight up hitting on men is rare.

Eh, I do it all the time and have been rejected all but once. Men can be quite horrible if you don't match up to the physical standards they have in mind. They actually take it as a personal insult if you DARE to talk to to them if you're overweight, or unattractive.

A number of guys here have commented they get hit on all the time. Or flirted with, anyway. (The female equivalent of hitting on someone.) A plan to lure them in? This isn't the 50's. Women chat up guys they're interested in. If they don't get much of a response, they move on. Some actually ask men out, if they're interested enough.
Oh man....that reminds me of a guy who was following me on the street letting me know how nice my legs and boobs were in a very lewd manner so I turned to him and said 'Ya know, I have REALLLLY bad diarrhea right now and if I don't get home I'm afraid I'm going to **** my pants' and you know what he said??? 'Girl, my house is probably closer than yours'
So, that may not always work.
This made me lol.
Some guys are so persistent. I only get annoyed when they won't take no for an answer.

what the breakdown?
i think that 80 out of 100 dates are initiated by the man approaching the woman.
I will make my presence know to a guy I'm interested in but I don't make the move.
yeah, this is more likely.
