How much do you get approached?

...

 

Never?

 

2? 3? 4? 20-40? times a week? ....

As a fairly decent looking, friendly male, I get approached with a romantic interest/undertone, ALMOST NEVER, and, get approached for random conversations and for other non-romatic reasons fairly often by females/males of all aspects of life.

 

When I lived in Houston, I would get approached almost every time I was out from people looking for money, rather than for conversation.

I get approached on average 0 times a week.

 

Aside from my ex, 0 women have shown interest in me in the past six months.

 

Though when I was in salsa class from Jan to May, I had a few bigger girls give me a little more attention than I was comfortable with.

Maybe once every few months, it just depends on where I am. Sometimes guys don't approach me because they aren't sure how to take me.

[MrMeh]

Plenty. I notice when I am sitting down in a restaurants, girls always ask me what I want...

[Esoteric Elf]

Zero. I am a dude, for $$$$'s sake!

[MissBee]

I get looked at almost every time I go out. At least one man will stare me down, but won't speak to me. Likewise, majority of the time I might get a passing comment, a stare and a "hello how are you" and usually I will say "I'm fine thank you" and keep walking. Most of these men are men I would never be interested in. Actual approach and conversations are less but it depends on the week. But say I went out everyday for a week, maybe the average would be conservatively about twice a week I would get approached and chatted about. But the staring, passing comment or greeting but I walk away before it can continue is most common.

Im asking both sex's

[Kizza]

I get approached a lot!!!

 

I work part time in a bar though so it's like being in the eye of a drunken storm of testosterone really

[Phoe]

I get approached about 2 or 3 times a year

[emva07]

on the street and public places I get A LOT of attention...being aproached? not so much. Like once or twice a year.

[TylerDurdenn]

When I go clubbing I get approached by 3-4 girls, which suits me as I'm useless at approaching girls

[ZipperZapper]

In my case, zero.

[BlametheIrish]

Depends on where I go that week. I.usually get approached at the bar, which I get out to once a month really. I get hit on the most at walgreens or the gas station (eww).

On average a couple times a week by men and sometimes women who I have zero interest in.

 

The amount of times someone checks me out is creepily high, and usually done in an awkward fashion lol.

[Kate9292]

Checked out all the time. Approached less often. Not quite just several times a year, but maybe 1 out of 20 guys who checks me out will approach me.

 

In club it means usually once or twice per night, but sometimes not al all.

[regine_phalange]

Once every few months, someone will approach. It's usually in stores, like the grocery store or the bookstore.

 

But people seem to always ask me for help/directions. My record is four different people in a time frame of 5 minutes (until my train arrived). It was a very full platform, they could ask someone else. I think I should work there!

[Pretty.in.Pink]

At least once a day in the most random places--parking garages, gas stations, grocery stores, the library, restaurants, elevators, etc. Generally by guys I wouldn't think would be interested in me and more often than not, when I'm not particularly attractive (e.g. coming from a workout wearing ratty clothes or running errands very early in the morning praying I don't run into anyone I know because of the way I'm dressed:o).

[kodakgirl]

I get looked at all the time and sometimes literally turn heads, but I am almost never approached. Maybe 2 or 3 times in the last year, and never by someone who interested me at all. I don't really understand, to be honest-- I'm asked for directions and things allll the time, and have good friendly-acquaintance level relations with my regular cashiers and baristas, so I must come across as fairly nice and friendly to people in general.... just not to men who think I'm cute, I guess?

Up to the age of 35 or so, checked out a lot but actually asked out only a couple times a week. Since turning 50 checked out a lot less but actually asked out by a higher percent of men. Older guys are usually less inhibited and more confident.

 

Older men are also socially adept. Usually more an invitation to come along on a hike with friends, go with a meet up group to an event. Its more like a gentle nudge towards getting to know each other in a social situation.. Less pressure and giving room for a polite decline without rejection.

 

When I was younger, I would feel bad for guys because they were more blatant in their approach and often made both of us feel awkward. If not known to a woman, they'd make the mistake of asking for a date or one on one time. Better to steer a woman towards some activity.

 

My daughter puts the buds in the ears and is often fiddling were her cell phone. She is very pretty and her strategy is avoidance.

The last time I can remember getting approached was years ago at a college dance with kegs of beer in every corner. I do notice women glancing at me sometimes. I do notice when they lock eyes with me and smile, but they do not approach.

 

Being a bit on the shy side, and trying to learn how to overcome it, means those tiny signals were normally ignored. Slowly, I am gaining enough confidence to wander over and say “hello” when someone locks eyes and smiles, but it is still not a comfortable feeling for me.

[Aspasia33]

Depends where I am, and how I feel. Id say on an average about every 2 weeks. More when I go away to conferences.

 

The approach is always fairly obscure though, which i find cute:) I always admire the balls a man has that approaches a woman, I know its not easy to do, and even when I'm not interested, i always let him down gracefully, and hopefully left feeling better about himself.
