For me personally, I'd say I'm quite an attractive female but I have never approached a guy lol and never will. If I did find a guy attractive, I would look at him and if he catches my glance, I'd smile and hope to God he comes over LOL.
I don't know if my approaches really count as approaches. lol They weren't blatant flirtations, so maybe not. The last time I recall doing it, it was a guy at work who I'd see around from time to time and he'd always smile and say hello, so one time I just stopped him in the hall and was like, "Hey, what's your name, hot stuff?" (Ok, so I didn't actually say it like that) He was a nice guy, but nothing ended up happening because I later found out that he was engaged (now married). Every guy I like is always taken.

What if you are not as attractive as you think you are? Would that harm your ego?

Guys, generally speaking, will go for any woman that is mildly attractive and in decent shape. So it's not uncommon for a mildly attractive female to garner a lot of male attention, which can lead her to overestimate her attractiveness level. Plus, culturally speaking, it's seen as the guy's role to do the pursuing and courting, so if a female is reasonably attractive or simply not unattractive, male attention for her will be a given. And that attention can cause ego problems.

Haha, I can see where you are coming from with that and I agree, a mildly attractive girl with the right outfit, hair, and makeup can all of a sudden go from a 7 to a 9 and get a lot of guy's attention.

Buttt. I do know I'm attractive enough to get guy's attention without all the added accessories. So maybe I'm not as attractive as I think I am but I know I'm attractive enough

Same. I just leave them alone. Most likely they're taken anyways so it's a waste of time approaching them.

I approached a very attractive woman in college. She was the blonde haired, blue eyed beauty; my friend referred to her as "J Crew pretty."


We were both pretty naïve. I thought I had a chance, and she thought I really just wanted to have a study date. No one was hurt though, and we became acquaintances. We'd smile and say hello, whenever we ran into each other around campus.

When I was single, I only approached the most attractive woman in any environment I was in. For one, it communicates that you have a healthy self esteem, great amount of self-confidence and improves your chances of succeeding with other women who are observing your interaction, should you be rejected. While the success rate is lower when dealing with the super attractive, any man can still have success, as long as he know what he is doing. Also, many guys are intimidated by truly beautiful women and wouldn't dare approaching. I was surprised to find that many of these women, didn't get approached or complimented as often as one would believe.

Sorry man, but that is such a weak attitude.

She's taken

She would never give me time of day

I'm not wearing the right close

insert any other excuse for not taking action <here>

Youre a man. TIme to start taking risks and aiming high. No one has ever died from rejection.

Absolutely I've approached and been approached by " super attractive " women.

I'm half decent looking but it's honestly my sense of humour and personality that works the best in both instances .

RE your last sentence if you found a bloke " super attractive " and he didn't catch a glance why wouldn't you approach?

dont forget that sometimes guys get intimidated by really attractive women, so dont base your judgemetn of yourself on what most guys do. many is the time i have seen guys want to approach a gorgeous woman, but wont because they think that she is already taken, or that they will be rejected out of hand.

My husband is silly. He says he's not ugly, but he's decent. (I think that's a gross understatement) Uh huh. He mentioned that he would have been too shy or nervous to approach me in person. It would have been the same for me, too, most likely. Steal a glance and smiles, sure, but there would have been some reluctance for both of us.
