I've only ever approached unsuspecting men who don't even know I exist. I like to pounce like a cat and surprise him.

(and I'm just one woman. my views are not all women's views)

Part of the art of approach is to break through the traditional expected patterns of this approach/reject/accept model. Instead, you just engage them in an interesting conversation topic asking for their opinion. Like, "hey, can I ask you something, what do you think of xyz".

Crack the code, break the rules, being different gets their attention.

I prefer to be approached by the guy or to pounce on an unsuspecting one.

But I agree that women usually don't approach.

This is a whole other issue though. Men won't ever say no to anybody! lol
That can lead a girl on if she wants something serious with him but he just wants easy sex.

It's not the same. Not even close.

A man starts out alone and horny and has to go around and cold approach random women exposing his own self (not a product or service) to open scrutiny and rejection.

On the other hand, most women already have some kind of man (or multiple men) in the background as lovers, friends, and all women do is wait around for a better man to come along.

Women are never in the position to be rejected simply because women do the CHOOSING.

I'm not here to make a case on which gender has it worse. I was just stating what happens with females.

When I get rejected I curl up into the fetal position and cry on the spot.
