I only approach women who actually give me enough signs that she is actually physically attracted to me and interested in me, otherwise, I would never bother. They don't approach men anyway. In most cases, whether they show signs or not, most are already taken, so why even bother. I'll take my chances with the ones that actually are receptive and show some signs of interest. That is not how people find their romantic partners, though, it is usually through social circles. There are so many things that have to perfectly fall into place.

I always lol when I read women giving all these tips to men when it comes to finding a girlfriend as if it was similar to finding a job.

Yet you were offended enough by this women whom you had "no interest in to begin with" not giving you the time of day that you felt the need "to put her in her place". That's your ego Bud. Lol
And yup... You should never take dating advice from women... What the H do we know?

I'm not going to be smiling like an idiot 24/7 for no reason. It may actually make me look creepy because it would look fake.

I suppose I have a resting biatch face, in my case, a resting jerk face. I can be relaxed, happy, in a good mood, but look too serious or even pissed on the outside. This combined with my above average looks doesn't help me much. Also, I have no problems with men and older women saying hello or talking me, the majority does. It is mostly young women who ignore me and act like I'm not even there.
Ok.. Again, the solution is to smile more. You don't have to sport a gigantic clown smile, but you should consciously make an effort to subtly smile with your mouth closed and smile with your eyes. If you look unapproachable, no one will talk to you. End of.

When I make very very sure not to make eye contact and to basically "not see" a guy, it's because I'm worried that even the smallest glance will make him come over, start up a conversation or whatever. I am trying to make darned sure I give no opener whatsoever for that to happen.

This isn't a "women are full of themselves" thing, it could be any reason that I don't want the person approaching, and it goes for not having women approach me, too. Something about the person makes me very nervous and not in a "he's so gorgeous" way. In fact, when a person is very handsome or beautiful I generally WILL look. I know I'm not giving the wrong impression when I do because, well, I'm just sort of conscious of that kind of thing. But it's hard not to see a very very attractive person even if you don't want anything at all from that person.

That's just me.

You come across as unapproachable.

It's because you are not as attractive as you think you are. You sound awkward and like you are lacking social skills. You could be physically attractive but all that will seriously dock you. Attractiveness to women is more than just looks. If you are a freak you could be the ugliest guy on the planet because you make women feel uncomfortable like you are half robot.

How about a lesson in humility. You need to do some volunteer work or something. I would say post a pic but you sound really annoying. Not to be rude but seriously personality and humility are attractive.

You're not. If they're giving off a "don't talk to me" vibe, 99 percent of the time, the explanation is simple: they don't want to talk to you. They might be busy, or in a relationship, or preoccupied, or find something about you offputting, etc, but the reason doesn't really matter - you're not entitled to their time or attention.

and they aren't entitled to mine either, so as I soon as I see them acting this way like I don't exist, I will ignore them too. I can act more stuckup and like I don't give a crap than they ever could. Why should I talk to someone who acts like this? The fact that you are taken or not, is irrelevant, I'm talking about simply saying hello to people and acknowledging their presence, not even trying to get numbers or a date. They act like you don't even exist.

People here saying, maybe you look intimidating, you look unapproachable, you don't look friendly, what about these women, then? They make themselves unapproachable as well. So, is ok for them to act this way, but not for me? So, just because they have a boyfriend, then is ok for them to act like other men don't exist, like everyone is trying to hit on them, like every guy is a creep, etc?

But they are not being jerks or stuck-up, they are just avoiding you.

This type of attitude towards women probably won't get you far. Even if they are stuckup, who cares. You don't know them and they don't know you. Frankly it isn't normal to get this worked up over random strangers..
