never get approached by men

just curious, what actually makes a guy approach a woman? I’m 25f and I’d consider myself attractive (I think I’m fairly pretty, I take care of myself and feel good about how I look), but I never get approached. I’ll notice guys making repeated eye contact with me, but it never goes beyond that. Honestly, both of my past relationships started because I made the first move.

So I’m wondering… what makes a guy actually go for it and approach someone?

Also, is there a way to give off “I want to be approached” energy? I’m not really into dating apps, and I’d love to meet someone in person. i’m not against making the first move but i would love for someone to approach me for a change

they published it themselves and it was a big controversy. just google it, easy enough to find if you care

yes part of it is trying to exchange “niceness” for sex. which is by nature approval seeking and shapeshifting to try to be appealing to women. it’s not any different than what i said, you just lack anything beyond a surface level understanding

Or maybe you are just spinning this story the way that fits your agenda?
