Men are thought as hunters so naturally they will ask women out more and have to brace for more rejections.

Mod cut.

Maybe if women were more up front and not trying to be sly with it, men couldn’t use ignorance as an excuse.

Again, the men who are posting negatively about women: Women who ask men out are sub-par, unattractive, manly, sneaky, lame, etc.

Isn’t it obvious their vibe about women comes through, and why would any intelligent attractive women be interested in that? It’s like they open their mouth and dont understand why women turn cold. So they picture only clueless unattractive women ask them out, which would be true. Attraction usually seeks its own level. But it couldn’t be them, right?

On the other hand, men who are interesting, funny, having a good time, have kind things to say, behave in an encouraging way: Have more success.

Lightbulb.

Now the very attractive, high status, very appealing ones wouldn't be caught dead asking men out.

The caveat is both groups are highly subjective based on who you ask (beauty is in the eye of the beholder), but at the end of the day, no man would not be freaked out.
Speak for yourself only please.

If both actively participate in a conversation when they’re interested, particularly relative to social cues and so on - neither one is likely to be rejected. Communication is key; you know when you’re connecting. That said, if one is unable to communicate well, flirt a bit and/or speak up, they’re more likely to ask sans a clue as to how the other person is feeling; thus they’re more likely to be rejected, man or woman.

Hence the importance of social cues and vibes i.e. connect/enjoy a conversation first, ask second. It’s not who is asking; it’s knowing who you ask.

Agreed. If someone’s always getting rejected, or at least frequently, they’re not paying attention.

Supply and demand.

Do you think Jeff Bezos or Elon Musk would ever get rejected at this point? Probably not.

If you don't like rejection then you have to bring something to the table that most women won't refuse.
That's not my experience. It was the more attractive ones who did it. Maybe because they had the self-confidence.

Why would you be “freaked out” though? It might feel a bit unusual, for a lot of guys, but freaked out is a bit extreme. You can always says “No thank you” or “I’m with somebody”.

Why would you say that, it’s degrading. The very few times it happened to me, the young woman was not any of the things you said.

Fact is men have been conditioned, through culture, to pursue and women to accept or reject the request. Breaking this norm does not reduce a woman to what you’re implying.

We now have a page of attractive vs unattractive. I’m not talking about women, or looks. Those who are attractive to women have attractive women approaching.

Nice social experiment. Have a good day
