Now you are being petty and juvenile. If everyone doesn't agree with you, you turn childish? Maybe i should have said yeah, you da man but why bother when you are so clearly a child. Run along home junior, mommy is calling you.

Oh, we just disagree on this topic, and in no way shape or form am i judging your man status or masculinity. You do what works for you.

Not all women look at the approaching guys in the same light. Almost always it boils down to the guy not having the looks that she wants in order for him to even have permission to approach. At times in their ugliest moments, I've seen women reject a guy harshly and treat him like pure horsesh*t for having the nerve to even approach her. Most of the time the undesired guys get a roll of the eyes, a sarcastic smile or no response at all. I have first hand experience with this. It's not uncommon for a woman to turn her head and pretend like she didn't see you coming, preferring that you would just F-off and not bother attempting to converse with her. Your simply not good enough to be in her personal space.

This is why her "eye-contact" is the signal I put the most weight on for making judgement calls on approaching. Any woman who rolls her eyes at me, gives me a nasty look or does her best to turn and look the other way, I won't even remotely go near. I'll do my best to avoid her at all costs and look for the next woman whose eyes aren't so evil.

As a woman, I'm flattered even if someone I don't find attractive approaches me. I don't understand why other women have to have this high-and-mighty mentality and act nasty toward everyone who approaches them who may not fit their idea of their Mr. Right. That's just rude.

I had someone approach me last week at the bookstore- this is a guy who doesn't fit what I'm attracted to physically- but I was still nice and had a little conversation with him, all the while letting him know that I wasn't interested. He apologized for the inconvenience but was nice. It makes me cringe whenever guys like that are treated completely badly by women, just because these women feel that they deserve it for even approaching them.

There's nothing to understand Amanda.

A lot of women feel it's totally normal to be rude to a guy who approaches and reject him harshly for even trying. They don't just wear a "Capital B" hat either, but a whole outfit dedicated to that.

If "b**ch" was a shade of body paint, it would sell out very quickly.

I honestly would not notice if a guy was staring at me. I usually am on the move constantly when I'm out and don't stand or sit around at many places for too long, so I would never notice if a guy was actually staring at me. Now that I think about it guys probably never stare at me. lol

As for being approached, well, that's happened twice in the last 5 years in person that I can remember, and both times were when I was at a gas station/convenience store. One guy I gave my number to because he was nice and the other I didn't because he wasn't that nice.

I should probably stop being on the move so much.

I laughed too and a conversation started naturally. Just an example.
Man it is massive BS right here. Any men should approach women that he like, not women that some accident give him opportunity to talk with. No you are not man as approaching is in question.
