Women do approach guys. And they have about the same success rate as guys do approaching women. It's not somehow magically easier for women if they do the approaching. Everyone has their preferences, everyone brushes off approaches by people they're not attracted to.
Come on women don't get rejected nearly as much as guys do and you know it. I've even had female friends of varying looks tell me they don't get rejected often, but they'd rather have a guy do it because it makes them "feel special" or "sexy". This isn't a 50-50 deal and the fact is is that most women not only don't approach as often, but when they don't there's a greater chance they won't be rejected and an even greater chance that the guy will at least be very nice about it.

There are different types of approaches. Women who strike up convos with guys can get the brush-off before it even goes anywhere. Guys can be jerks, too; they can be rude with their brush-off. Women have posted here that when they meet someone in person from an online encounter or a set-up, the guy just walks away and doesn't even talk to the woman. All kinds of things happen IRL. It's tough for both genders.

Striking up a conversation is not the same as asking for a phone number or a date. An approach means you talk to them and attempt to get a number or a date. Not giving hints in hopes they'll ask you out. The times I walked away from online dates the women lied about their appearance, usually a lot fatter in real life or uglier. Getting the brush-off isn't the same as being told no. Brush-off is nothing more than a conversation going nowhere which ends with a 'nice to meet you'.

Man, just up and walks away? That must have been some huge ego shattering right there!
If that's only what happened to me, I'd probably still be looking! LOL

The request for a date or a number generally is preceded by some form of chat. It's rare that strangers will walk up to someone and out of nowhere ask for a phone number. It's in that initial stage of casual chat that the brush-off happens. Women being approached that way will generally be polite and carry on a conversation, even if they're not interested. Men don't bother if they're not interested.

Because men are more direct. A conversation gives the person hope that they could date them even if the person isn't interested. If you don't talk to them there is no doubt. Starting a conversation is indeed the first step to getting a date or a number, but women usually don't ask for either and wait for the man. A brush-off probably means she wasn't that attractive.
Btw I have had random men come up to me and ask for my phone number or for a date out of the blue. One guy literally approached me when I was walking down the street.
I've walked away from men I met online but this is because they lied. If I felt nothing I would go through the date and see if something is there because sometimes feelings hide. I have had men though who walked away from me for various reasons (and no I don't lie nor am I ugly or fat). I have a skin problem and when it is flaring up I've had men go "no thanks" and walk away.

People get rejected for various reason, usually from appearance. You've done it. I've done it. I've been rejected and you've been rejected before. It's apart of life because we can't please everyone nor should you try.
