Could be an expression. Could be you don’t seem approachable. Maybe you haven’t been their type. Maybe you’re so hot they’re intimidated and won’t approach, assuming you’re spoken for. Maybe they’re all just shy
Times have changed so it’s not really surprising
That she probably never smiled at a guy showing her teeth.
There could be a ton of reasons.
Is she rarely going out? Does she seem uninterested? Is she un attractive? Does she seem gay or taken? Those are the first things that come to mind.
Many different reasons.
Maybe you are not attractive.
Maybe you don’t take care of yourself (skin, hair, weight, smell).
Maybe you have resting bitch face and look like you’re in a constant state of “fuck off.”
You are not in an environment conducive to being approached (job, school, hobbies, public places).
Depending on your age and what generation many men have been taught to avoid approaching or have given up approaching and value their own time more.
They don’t want to bother you
People go out a LOT less than in the past. Clubs and social ecents are frequented significantly less often than before, and we can get a lot of what we want delivered now. So men and women are less likely to encounter each other in a socially acceptable setting for an approach.
Because of that, our social skills have also diminished. Being social is a skill that needs regular practice. We just don’t think of it like that. Not having the skills as refined as they should be gives men more social anxiety, which they confuse with being anti-social or introverted thanks to social media contorting the meaning of the term.
Social media has also dissuaded men from approaching women. Men are very often shamed on social media for talking to, looking at, or being in the general vescinity of a woman (especially in the gym). Women are also very quick to trash men on social media, which adds to the mentality of being better off without the problems that women can bring. There is also the misconception that expensive dates are equal to romance.
Final point: men are instinctively problem-solvers and providers. Seeing a woman who looks like she has it all figured out or who can completely support herself can be daunting because men have a difficult time realizing that they have more to offer a relationship than being a Mr. Fix-It or an ATM. This is especially so because most of the entertainment that we consume depicts men as providers and women as homemakers or women as being these independent beings who hate men and don’t appreciate them.
Maybe he’s just my experience, but dating apps have severely shifted how we culturally approach dating. I don’t know anyone who asks a woman out in person anymore. And before the apps, I know personally I was always afraid of rejections, so I talked myself out of a lot of chances.
Time have changed for the most part.
