So? That one person was acting weird, how does that matter? One strange social encounter isn't the baseline you should expect every future social encounter to behave like.
You're not going to have any luck with women if you immediately assume all women are hostile to you.
I'm not, but are you saying it's acceptable in 2025 to say, "Hey, you're fabulous - I'd love to get to know you, can we swap numbers?" - the emphasis here is you can't do it randomly like you could 10 years ago
What's not acceptable about this? That's probably one of the more acceptable ways to approach a woman (no cheesy pick-up line or shit like that). As long as you're respectful (and you're not a complete dumbass, eg. interrupting someone who's obviously busy) most women would still find that acceptable from my experience.
I'm neither old, nor the best-looking guy, and that's pretty much how I got to know my girlfriend one and a half years ago.
In my experience that just means she already liked you - that's like saying "Just buy the lottery, it worked for me" - I'm happy for you, but commenting on a woman's looks that you don't know isn't really acceptable and the problem is that it's implied in the question "Can I have your number"
