Low testosterone or they are out of shape and feel that approaching women would turn into nothing.
What did those women look like?
Then there's something wrong with them. I've rejected women I wasn't attracted to, and if I wasn't attracted to them it was because of a reason they can fix.
That, I will never understand. But then again there are 40 year old men making a living playing video games everyday, the world is becoming strange.
Believe it or not, these women were good looking. To me they were good looking.
Also to add, attractive women get rejected as well.
For example, many men find Katy Perry attractive. She isn't attractive to me at all.
That is probably it. They didn't find them attractive and said nothing to them.
Oh god, didn't we just go through a whole thing proving that this is not true? Most women do not get hit on several times a day every day. They do not. Bartenders and waitresses, maybe, but your average Jane, not so much.
Wait wait wait.
Did the USA, if not the world, just go through the whole #MeToo hullabaloo?
Did not woman after woman after woman share her story about how some guy came on to her "inappropriately" left and right and every damn day?
Were we not told that it's "not only" hot starlet-type women who "endure" such unwanted attention, but women of ALL levels of appearance?

So which is it?
MANY women have experienced this but have you heard a single one say it happens every day to her specifically???? (Except for childhood sexual abuse which may be a regular occurrence by the same abuser.)
This started out with meeting women in a yoga class. There are better choices at the gyms. 15 years ago when I was in the best shape of my life I tried a 1 hour yoga glass. I thought since I lift several thousand pounds in a workout I would likely breeze thru the yoga stuff. They don't even use weights, how hard could it be?
An hour later every part of my body was complaining. If you are trying to meet women, a yoga class might not be a good choice since you will not be looking your best. The spin classes are a little easier along with the pump/aerobics classes.
I am dealing with severe grief and the gym is at this time my only social event of the day. I go every day, I have goals and that's another story. There are all ages of people at my gym and so far I have not met anyone who was not friendly.
I have no problem making small talk with women. Maybe they can tell I am harmless? Since I have no desired results or expectations, conversation has become very easy. Today a girl with a headset was doing her routines and smiling to herself. It looked strange. Turns out she was listening to stand up comedians.
If you are giggling and laughing, people are going to be curious. I have never had someone not smile and remove the earphones when I got their attention.
Yes, they do. The vast majority of women get hit on daily. Several times a day. Now, take into account that I'm talking about average women.
Extremely true. Any woman getting hit on less than daily either has essentially monastic daily routines or is quite subpar. Even subpar women who are over 30 or 40, overweight, and single moms have no shortage of male options.

It's been a while since I finished my Bachelor's degree. However, I've put some effort into thinking about how many times a woman approached me during those 4 years. During those 4 years, I was never overweight and had no physical deformities. That sentence is still true today. During my 4 years of college, I was approached less than 5 times by women. I clearly remember one instance while working my off campus job that a 45 year old grandmother (she mentioned having grand kids) hit on me. I vaguely remember about 1-2 other instances where I was approached. Every other time that I interacted with a woman, I was the initiator.

Unwanted attention and sexual harassment isn't the same thing as being approached sincerely and asked out. If you think it is, that's part of the problem.

Well, that's where there's a grey area. Define "Unwanted" attention?
Of course, this is kind of exaggerated as there's some context left out of it, but one would have define "unwanted" attention though.
It all depends on who you ask, it depends on the specific individual who deems it as such.
Also, I read some article somewhere, usually this is with the 20-something age bracket that there's a good percentage of women that actually find being approached on the street or complimented to be a form...of...you guessed it...harassment.
Believe it or not, this is what our forefathers' did with women of the 1940s, 50s, 60s...that's how my dad met my mom (approached her on the beach cold turkey)

Unwanted attention is just that. Did you interrupt the woman to talk to her? Did she have to take off her headphones or put down her book to pay attention to you? Has she said that she has a boyfriend? Does she seem delighted to speak to you, or just merely tolerant? As we said in the #metoo thread that got moved to the cesspool of P&OC, some guys do get so worked about "scoring" and "winning" that they're not paying attention to the woman who is their target and what she actually wants. She doesn't want to talk. She's not buying what you're selling.
