I know there have been many times where i have approached and not approached.
Sometimes i get bad vibes from certain women. Many times you can just see it. I personally don't feel it is my "job" to go and walk up to someone. I do it cause i would like to get to know them.
I think many women though get really passive and old school as a way to avoid their egos to become damaged.
For one i am picky, very picky. But i am this way because i had standards. Those standards apparently were not enough so i had to bump them up a notch in other ways.
