When I was homeless on the streets, I was often the one getting hit on by women. I was a little standoffish though. I often had that side-eyed look about me, because I was homeless. What would y'all want from me?

But okay, come get you some dumpster lovin I suppose.


As of right now, I have an older lady who compliments my lips whenever she sees me. I always enjoy her company.

Attraction is like a knee jerk reaction and so is repulsion. It's what happens afterwards that is more in your own control. Like reasoning in your mind that the fact any person is attracted to you is just flattering, but that's where it stops. Nobody can help their initial reaction, though.

I've never been approached but I've been on the other end of being the ugly/average guy getting a harsh response from a women I approached at a party who seemed so offended that I asked for her number her after we talked that that she walked away from me and avoided me the rest of the party.

It made me feel like **** and I haven't approached a women since

Sorry to hear that one experience actually ruined your confidence to approach woman
Hope you get it back together and have better luck in future.

It has nothing to do with looks for me.
I get offended when someone who clearly brings nothing to the table acts like I'd be remotely interested in them for two seconds. It is offensive, because it's like they are saying something about *you* that you'd be so desperate that you'd welcome that attention.
It also points to some assumptions about me they're likely making.

That being said, I'm never rude about it.

Why not just be flattered by the attention, assuming they showed that attention in a classy way? IMO, the people who get offended are the people who think being asked out by an undesirable person is a reflection of their own desirability. Did you ever get offended because someone you found undesirable or "out of your league" asked you out or showed interest?
A negative response to ones advances(normal not a pranksters) is a sign of one being egotistical.

"Oh that guy/girl asked me? What an insult! I'm better than that!" <-- in reality they aren't. In fact they're among the bottom of the barrel.

And to answer you question, no. However it has happened in the past back when I was a less confident person.
