I'm going to stick to my guns and continue to say that if I've never seen something like this happen with my own 2 eyes, I can't say that this is a real thing, but I will say that it could happen because the world is made of lots of people.
I think it's odd that you think that approaches don't happen because you don't see it. Most people don't want an public audience for such things, and plenty of people get asked out over the phone or text or email.

And that's OK. I don't mind if people think me as odd or otherwise.
I'm still waiting to see a woman approach a man in public. It doesn't have to be me, it just has to happen.
I'm out in public places often enough, so it shouldn't be out of the norm, but I've yet to see it happen. Until I do, I'm calling it hogwash.
I somehow think that you believe that guys seek for sponsor-seekers (gold diggers) and not the vice versa. Let me tell you this, there are plenty of women who happen to screen around the place for either wealthy heirs or wealthy self-made folks and get involved with them and, believe it or not, they also use the "numbers game" just like guys who get lots of rejections will use. One out of 10 may give her a pass, but she learns with time to recognize who's more likely to go for it.
Those women may represent huge minority, but yes, they are the ones generally making the approach or initiating it in various ways to make it happen, and not the vice versa.
There are also regular women who will ask you, but they happen to do it in a very awkward way. One general notion is that the whole deal will be very awkward and it's generally going to be in the wrong moment, thus it's likely going to be doomed from the very start.

She didn't call you odd and what she is saying is definitely true.
I'm sure a very minute amount women do, but its just not heard of.
There's a very select few who will do it.
But there's one poster who just said she did it today, which gives me some ray of hope that I might see it happen to me one day or to someone I might see when I'm out, so my fingers are crossed lol.
When my husband and I met 28 years ago, we were at a bar talking in a group of people. We didn't know each other but we just started talking to each other because we both were kind of left out of the main conversation. We just kept talking for a couple of hours and finally I just asked him if he wanted my phone number.
I don't think he would have asked me for my number because he was really shy back then. He was probably just hoping that he would see me again at the same bar.
Don't tell me that women don't initiate!
Generally, I believe that men were created to hunt and women were created to be the hunted. Is, was and always shall be.
Because there's no impetus for them to do so? If I was a woman, why would I risk the embarrassment and blow to self esteem that comes from being rejected when I can just wait for a man to approach?
Because you can have the freedom to go after exactly who meets your standards instead of complaining about the terrible options that were handed to you. Being around the company you desire is way better than being around someone not worth your time.
And also, waiting around forever and not getting any accpectable offers gets frustrating after awhile
