I'd like to be asked. I've worked up the courage to ask, many many times, and in about five seconds "nah, you're not tall enough/handsome enough/whatever enough." Sure, okay, how about we guys stop trying. See how your options go when you have to work up the nerve to ask.
Every time you've asked a woman out, she has said no and specifically told you it's because of your height or attractiveness, or are you just projecting?

But if you discourage them by being shocked, you can't complain if women give up approaching you. That's more the point. You may be unaware how the vibe you give off is keeping women at arm's length or beyond.

Yeah, I doubt anyone actually said to his face he's not tall enough or good-looking enough. If someone did, she probably wasn't older or more mature than a teenager.

I've been asked out or flirted with by women on a number of occasions. If I had to put a finger on why that is, I'd say it's because I'm approachable but not looking for such conversations. I generally smile at everyone if I cross their path--male or female. And if someone asks my opinion or just talks to me in public, I am genuine and interested in what they have to say. I'm not thinking that this is a woman (OMG!...chick! chick! chick!) or that I'd like to sleep with her. Just real, human conversation.

I've asked men out.

However, I ask men I know. I don't ask total strangers.

That is because a lot of men don't seem to be able to hear sounds in the range of a woman's voice. They can't hear "I'm unhappy, I'm lonely, I'm tired, please help with the housework, you don't pay attention to me any more, NO!!!!!" And a million other things they don't seem to be able to hear or comprehend.

A very large number of men out there, if I say "Let's go out to dinner, my treat" all they hear is "hey, let's have sex". I then have to spend my time fighting them off. No thanks.

So, you guys who never get asked out on dates, you can blame your fellow men who have behaved badly

Incidentally, from another topic, when I invite, I pay.

I have never been approached. I generally keep my emotions internally thus to say I don't generally display them externally. I am wholly unaware that I emit any vibes at all.

I have read much academic literature saying that men push too far when drunk. Anyone who has been in college and is not socially inept should be able to recall this.

Dude, you sound shut down! That may be your vibe. You may be going around with a wall up around you. Women pick up on that, and steer clear. Thus, no approaches. Get it?
