Success with the women who throw you signals first is much higher...it's like the invitation that has already been put out there, you just have to do enough not to screw it up, plus it's always easier to work with women who are just as attracted to you as you are to them. Cold approaching is really like selling insurance...and NO ONE likes to be sold insurance, but once in a while they can get the sale lol.
I'm not a salesman. I would never take such a job. I can tell you the features and benefits of an item, but I'm more likely to sell you the item if you're already interested in buying it.

Always? No, if you were a good looking guy with money, the women would be throwing themselves at you.

The only guys who have to take the initiative are the ones women want to turn down. Then, if they are in a bad mood, they have the opportunity to let off a little steam at the same time.

You really believe that? I don't. You are implying that men who take the initiative are usually turned down, or that only loser men will take the initiative.

Based on my experiences, I think you have it backwards.

Like bees on a hive or would just try to get his attention in one way or the other to make him to take the initiative to approach them.

I disagree with this. The social norm in our society and most societies is the man pursue's the woman. However, what guy hasn't been pursued by girls/women occasionally? heck, some of the most tintillating experiences I ever had were the result of being "pursued", but more often than not, I was pursued by someone I didn't want pursuing me
BTW - my present wife of 27 years pursued me.

Foxy, I admire that indomitable spirit that keeps you coming back and repeating yourself despite getting banned again and again. If only you could apply that to somewhere it really counted, like with women.

Those men who say that they have been asked out by women are lying, it is as simple as that. Women never ask men out, women never call men, women never take any initiatives what so ever with men.
my bad - quick read - missed the sarcasm
