I've had women occasionally strike up conversations with me in public, but never anything I was consider "hitting on" me. Most women I see give the impression that they don't want anyone speaking to them, and so naturally they don't speak to anyone else, either.
Omg this. Why would I approach a woman who has a frown or a sour look on her face? Most of women I see in public look like they don't want to be approached or bothered. So, I don't say anything to them and leave them be.
Happened more in college than it does today. My roommate / close friend is ridiculously good looking, happens to him often. I consider myself good looking as well, but I'm 5'8". Usually takes an intro before I gain solid attraction, but yes, I get hit on in public occasionally.
All the time...I live in a college town, so people are social and goofy to begin with. I get everything from the random sit and talk, to being grabbed by the arm and dragged off to go dance without warning. I'm only 5'7", so I don't want to hear anything about height as an excuse either...you just own it and have fun
And for the guys posting about getting hit on by gay guys...try to think of it as a compliment, a really high order "you look good" type of compliment.
I can only speak for the 20s demographic, but I've had several times when a gay guy approached me at a bar, and I ended up meeting a girl because of it...it was always the same story of me just being cool about it and politely letting him down while still putting off a "well hey...good for you to be trying and doing your thing though" type of vibe. They always followed up immediately by introducing me to their female friend(s)...who were always attractive.
Just be nice and don't discriminate; people are who they are, lol.

I wouldn't want a gay guy to hit on me ever. I am attracted to women only.
Not on the street, but definitely at a former job. It helped being the youngest man in a building filled with older adults. But I was going through breakup withdrawal and wasn't in the mood.
The problem is, then I'd have to go places I hate and be around people I can't stand, and I'm not sure that's worth it. Besides, when I am in situations where I'm around a lot of loud, obnoxious people I don't know, I automatically retreat into myself and my brain can think of nothing but getting the hell out of wherever I am as quickly as possible. So then I'm not even remotely approachable myself, and my mind won't let me do the approaching when I'm in escape mode, so the entire purpose of going out is defeated right off the bat.
I guess so. I either missed the clues or ignored the clues. Oh well.
