Here are a few things women do, that prevent guys from approaching them:

1. You're Surrounded by Lots (I mean LOTS) of Friends


2. You're Too Hot

3. Getting Too Tipsy

4. Looking Sloppy

5. Downer Demeanor

6. You're With Another Guy In Any Capacity

7. You have a Ring

8. You seem Busy

9. You're Literally Tough To Catch

10. You're a Wall Flower

i think most of those are the guy's own issues, not the girl's.

3,4,5,6,7,8,9 seem reasoned, but points 1 and 2 seem like cop-outs for a lack of confidence. I'm probably the minority amongst men (lol.. as if an opinion's value is gauged by how many people believe it, but i'm digressing), but i don't put 10/hot women on a pedestal. I refuse to. I don't really think anybody is worthy of better treatment simply due to being hot. Granted, they're hot, but they still have the same vulnerabilities and weaknesses as everybody else.

For point 2, perhaps getting more self-esteem and self-assuredness is key.

I have not dated since disco was in style but the list looks accurate to me.

I happen to be attracted to two kinds of women that the article's author isn't.

Brooders and "psychos" (not literally, of course, but those women who get incredibly angry at the slightest thing--for some reason, that's hot).

Doesn't mean I'll approach them. Why? There's no reason to--if she's interested enough, then she'll approach me. In a world full of 7's, I'd hate to look like I was dismissing other choices in favor of one certain woman. So I'll wait until she selects me instead.

you have no reflection in the mirror.
i never see you eat, ever.
you constantly stare at my throat.
you are extremely attractive but no one approaches you.
you seem to hypnotise people.
you are very glad to see me but clearly do not like me.
you react very strongly to anything god related.
you will not ever be seen during the day
you never seem to age or get tired
as the evening wears on you get "pastey".

its pretty spot on except i think it misses one crucial point: what if the guy just doesn't find you attractive? most of the women anywhere you go will be close to average so if a guy is gonna put himself out there and be vulnerable to being shot down/ignored/getting attitude, it might as well be for a girl that he actually finds hot!

What it boils down to is no one likes the "long walk back" after being rejected. Neither gender wants to open themselves up to rejection, that's the biggest obstacle.
