Furthermore, if it did happen frequently, it wouldn't even be up for discussion. That's just not the case.
So, are you still holding onto "fat chance" or is it somewhere between fat chance and frequently.

In real life, women rarely approach average looking / status men directly. It happens, but not often. Most men will attest to this. Women may put themselves in a position to be approached, but that is not the same as approaching, breaking the ice, etc etc.

Men can still approach women without sexually harassing them.

If a man's (or woman's) approach comes across as sexual harassement - the approach is all wrong.

They may be flattered at the offer but won't likely bite.
He doesn't speak for all or even most men..as a guy who's shy and not good at approaching women I'd love to be approached..

I think most men don't mind it..how he reacts to it is gonna be judged on how attractive he finds the women..that's pretty much the same way a women reacts to a man approaching her..

I think women, like men, approach men they are interested in.

So, no, Joe Average is not going to be interesting to, nor approached by, most women. But a guy who can set himself apart a little bit, and it's not that hard, just look around at what you're trying not to be, does get women approaching him.

Yes, but just make sure to observe more before approach. From what I observe, guys have no problem when woman approach them and initiate a conversation. So, just take the chance to know the guy better, and make sure you have a back up plan when you decided not to go after the guy. Exit plan will always save you. I will rather be safe than sorry.

Maybe
But the criteria by which the 20% are defined varies from person to person.

The point is most men won't be approached. I also believe that the larger percent of women would not approach men in real life.
