If I think he's gay.
If he looks annoyed, angry, or upset.
If he is married.
If he looks married (e.g., wears a ring on his ring finger).
If he is with someone who looks like his partner.
If he avoids me.
If he isn't showing signs of interest (e.g., eye contact, making conversation, negative body language).
If he looks busy/like he doesn't want to be interrupted.
If he's flirting with/showing interest in someone else.
If he looks like he's interested in some sort of activity/lifestyle I am not interested in and have no intention of becoming interested in.
If he doesn't look clean (i.e., bad hygiene)....doesn't matter how cute you look under all the grime.
If he is so attractive that I'm too nervous to approach.
Lots of reasons. Not necessarily all good reasons.

Typically it's not knowing if they are married/engaged/dating someone. It makes the approach difficult because men don't have a ring on all the time so if you approach you look like a home wrecker when that wasn't even your intention.
After seeing that he is handsome and being struck by that, I look to see whether he's wearing a ring. Next, I evaluate his style of dress and how he's behaving. Is he smiling? Is he looking at me, I wonder, while looking from the corner of my eye pretending to not notice him. Then if he lingers or I see him repeatedly around me but not approaching me (I'm the type that likes to be catered to by a man who desires me), I presume that he's either:
1. Not attracted, I move on;
2. Stalker or potential victimizer sizing me up to rob me or rape me or "knockout" suddenly;
3. undercover law enforcement or federal agent. I'm evading like OJ in the Bronco.
Other than that, I don't have reasons to avoid approaching 'cause I'm not anyway. If he sees me and is attracted, the kind of guy I want would approach me. I don't want to have to do a tap dance or force him to notice me by chasing him around and jumping in his face begging him to date me. Let a man do that to me for a change.
But if I notice an appealing man who seems to be lingering but scared to talk, a new thing I'm going to try is smiling directly at him, making eye contact and saying hello, while walking right past him without stopping unless he engages me, and wearing a sweet perfume or nicely fragranced shampoo to give him a whiff of motivation.
Then I can at least say that I made myself approachable and spoke and smiled, instead of just walking away like "chile bye".

Women make the same excuses that they complain about men making. Fear. Shyness.

Of course if you let the women on here tell it, they all approach men, all the time.
