Women are "covert" while men are "overt" when initiating relationships, this spills over into other areas in life as well.

Most women are very practiced in providing themselves an "out" if a man they find attractive doesn't have mutual feelings, otherwise known as "plausible deniability." They will be subtle to the point that they can deny to others as well as themselves that there was ever any interest on their part to begin with, they were simply being polite/friendly.

It's probably hard-coded into their DNA. The only exceptions typically occur when there's a large disparity in ranking. You'll see very attractive women who are non-famous and/or wealthy overtly express an interest in a celebrity because it's essentially a longshot that they'd encounter this individual in real life, let alone enter into a relationship. Their options don't extend that high. This and you'll get some women who you'd consider less than average in looks show overt interest in seemingly average to above average men because they're more willing to risk rejection to improve their inherently limited options.

Average and below men are simply relegated to initiating everything because they have no other choice, given how different the sexual strategies of men and women are fundamentally. It ties into why men are predominantly more prone to risk-taking behavior, it's part of what makes us men.

If someone comes up to you and says stupid shiit like "what up sexy, or aye girl, come of over here." It's pretty obvious what their intentions are. I'm not stupid.

If someone came up to me with a simple, "Hi or Hey how are you?" I would be much more receptive. Talk to me like you have some sense and I won't write you off.

It's pretty clear. Even the guys I am friends with agree with the way I react to they way those guys approach me. So clearly I am doing something right, not that I need their validation to realize that. Just saying.
OK gotcha you are right. I stand corrected. Yeah guys like that ARE sleezy. They make it hard for normal dudes to approach. So yeah, I gotcha now.

Good.

I apologize for the hostile response. Glad you actually have an open mind and get where I am coming from.
