I would not ask a man out unless he seemed VERY accessible; natural, genuine, less ego, probably a tad dorky as that's what I go for, and...showing signs he liked me. Clear signs.
That makes more sense.

I see what you're saying mate but you yourself actually answered this in the best way possible earlier in the thread ..... " Just that people approach it doesn't mean it necessarily make them options " ( or to that effect ).... And it's spot on diss

If you're not interested in someone for whatever reason then they won't be viable so it's natural to go after one that does interest you. Sure they might say no but nothing ventured nothing gained

It will only hurt you in the long run mate.... Personally like I've said I've had a few bad moments but I take a positive from them by using it as a guide so I can recognise and anticipate certain traits/things happening and therefore I can act accordingly

Being wise and having your wits about you in certain situations is great but if you automatically assume or fear the worst and basically have your guard up from the start then you'll forget that any lady you have met is an individual and most probably ruin any chance you have mate

Your "guard is up" because of something that happened in high school? Not because your "fiancée" died a few weeks ago?


Oh. Interesting.

Yeah, I can't tell you when the last time I was actually asked out while out was out and about. I leave the house fairly often, so by this board's logic I must be a hideous toad, right?

Same here. My last approach was around 3 years ago, while I was working. Some random guy rides over on a bike while I was outside, and asks for my number -without even telling me his name, we don't know each other, and hadn't talked for 5 min. If I am out with someone, they may tell me a guy is staring at me. But staring =/= approaching. And plenty of people stare at me. Other girls and children do that, because for some reason my complexion is fascinating to many around here.

So I guess the 3 of us are like this "lady."

Exactly. Any even mildly average woman without a hunchback, unmedicated Tourette's Syndrome or suppurating facial sores must kick men out of the way like a giant marble ball knocking down pins every time she opens the front door to grab her mail. I am sorry. Obviously you are a troglodyte, old (greater than 24) and have seven kids with six babydaddies because you accidentally recycled one of the men instead of deliberately sleeping around like all feminists do.

How about getting plastic surgery and if possible, growing younger and more obviously fertile? Then some absolute utter loser might settle for you. I have an appointment with the Ring of Power tomorrow at but I hear they have an opening at 9? Meet me there, my ugly sister!!

Can't say I buy that either. But then it depends on the area. Chandler, AZ is filled with desperate people.

The only way a woman doesn't get asked out is she gives off a very b***** vibe and most women are nice to the men who approach.
Even then, that doesn't always work in her favor (if she doesn't want to be bothered).

And of course all of the men who approached were millionaire philanthropists who stopped by to say hello after their GQ photoshoots, right?

That's the thing that always confuses me about the leap in logic (and I've seen it a few times on here) of "any woman worth her salt has tons of men talking to her; therefore, why would she be talking to me?" I can probably count on one hand the number of times one of my female friends has told me about someone walking up to her out of the blue, or I've seen it myself in person, and the context wasn't "wow, this dude is really annoying and/or creepy." So yeah, even among the women who get plenty of attention in their day-to-day lives, the vast majority of it is probably not in a good way.
