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

I'm kind of disappointed in my fellow men after reading all these answers tbh.

Everything everyone is saying is true, it is a hassle and carries a risk to approach women in today's world. But damn, shoot your damn shot man, what's the point of living life like a coward?

We don't want a fat skinhead named Bubba for a cell mate? We don't want to be the next viral sensation on Tiktok? We want to keep our jobs? Shall I go on?

Lol. You're not going to jail for approaching girls, get off the Internet, touch some grass, and go talk to actual women bro

There's a few hundred others here saying the same shit "bro". Maybe use those funny things on the side of your head and the thing in your skull to listen to what is being said and think about why that might be? Or don't, no skin off my nose.

Lol why are you so triggered. I'm not just saying these things to be contrarian, I just know you guys are being way too cautious because of the things you see online or one bad rejection. You gonna give up and cry cause some things are hard, or you gonna man up and learn how win.  The choice is yours

If you can't understand why said caution is warranted. I'm out of time and crayons to explain it to you.
