Re: What stops a Man from Approaching a Pretty Woman?
Actually nothing. I have approached pretty women. Got rejected as well but this never stopped me from approaching other pretty women and asking them out. Usually i am up front clean approach with women and they seem to like it. Now if i really like someone i will be little cautious just so i don't make her run away.
Re: What stops a Man from Approaching a Pretty Woman?
^^I wish desi men would be like that, not pushy or desperate where their self respect is nonexistent but courteously, decently, sweetly, confidently approach the woman he wants to talk with, it shows a certain strength and maturity.
xtron you do mean you do this offline right?

What stops them? Self Confidence. If you are confident of yourself it, its a vibe. Get shot down and get back up.
Re: What stops a Man from Approaching a Pretty Woman?
**First stage:
**Preoccupied in the fantasy world of the "what if" hindering the act of approaching in the real world.
**Second stage:
**Stupidity - Emotional imbalances cloud judgement
**Third stage:
**Blindness - An inability to recognise positive signs or evaluate the method to optimise mutual interest
**Fourth stage:
**Confusion - Thoughts running wild, panic - which leads to the realisation that things may not go according to plan
**Fifth stage:
**Courage to act - A focus develops
**Sixth stage:
**Conscience and Moral brickwalling - religious values
**Seventh stage:
**Risk Analysis - Could get hit, could get taken as a perv and ruin future chances
The basic reason is that men lose control of their irascible selves and the ability to reason falls. If a man wishes to approach a woman and optimise his chances to gain interest he needs to:
a) Calm right down and get out of that fantasy
b) Work out how to move closer in to the social circle of the particular individual
c) Create a context to speak and retain control
d) Use courage, wit and assessment to gauge the situation to determine the next steps
The simple answer is "his own stupidity gets the better of him"
Re: What stops a Man from Approaching a Pretty Woman?
Rejection. It's the human condition, we all want to be wanted. One of my mates told me about a girl he likes, I told him to ask her out, his reply was "and die from rejection? I wish I could be as brave as you; but then, you have much much less of a chance of being rejected than me." So rejection. Most of us rate ourselves against the person of our affections, if we rate less, then we're not worthy. Then theres no talky talky and the pretty women get snatched up by someones who have the balls to put themselves out there.

Re: What stops a Man from Approaching a Pretty Woman?
how did you sense that he had a crush on you though? was it the way he looked at you? Why didn't your fiance make the move to strike up a convo with you since he was so in love with you?
LOL no! He was always the reserved/intimidating/HOT/shareef guy who didn't talk to girls or even acknowledge them and I was kind of in my own little world and didn't pay attention to guys either but I noticed he was starting to pay extra attention to things I said or did and eventually got the hint, as did everyone else, that he liked me. I struck up a convo and soon after I found out from him (and his friends) that he had a hardcore major crush on me (he had never dated/crushed to this degree on anyone before which was quite ego boosting too) but that is how I got to know. No creepy staring or anything. He did indirectly make a move but thought I'd reject him.
Re: What stops a Man from Approaching a Pretty Woman?
I think it's mostly their fear of rejection. In my entire life, I have only had about a dozen desi men approach me. That's not a lot honestly. usually it's the kind I would not want to have anything to do with. It's always the crazy ones approaching me.. I wonder why I attract such losers. The only guy I approached was my hubby..
Re: What stops a Man from Approaching a Pretty Woman?
^ I get approached by a lot of losers too :( Tbh, the fact that they approach in such a manner does kinda reflect badly on them anyway
Re: What stops a Man from Approaching a Pretty Woman?
Many of my male cousins have asked their mothers NOT to select super-gorgeous, super-pretty, super-beautiful girls for marriage since they thought such girls would make their life difficult since they would have attitude, would not be polite and down to earth and would not try towards having a stable married life.
I think guys approach pretty women for friendship more easily than for marriage. If they have good experience with them during the friendship, they can take things forward.
Majority of pretty girls DO have attitude problems and I think this stops guys from approaching them or at least they think twice before approaching them.
Re: What stops a Man from Approaching a Pretty Woman?
its not surprising that a woman has asked this question.
women are scared ****less of rejection. they have huge egos in this regard and they like to blame it on 'culture'...yesh, "its the culture that stops women from approaching men". and oh yes "men just like the chase". obviously its going to be women to tell us what we like. women dont want us to realize that the grass is greener on the other side, they dont want us to know how it feels like to be chased, pursued and be in a position to choose and brush someone off; to have someone else make all the effort. they dont want us to know what it does to your ego to be given that kind of attention every now and then... we are just supposed to "like the chase". any man who is frequently approached by women and attracts them effortlessly (like most women attract men) knows what Im talking about. most women like to believe that men are devoid of any feelings and have a better ability of dealing with rejection. thiouey expect some elusive level of confidence in men and its expected of a man to just go upto a woman and strike a conversation.
ofcourse we men are absolutely under no obligation to do any of this. all im saying is that its more than effin culture at work. whats really going on seems to be beyond the capacity of the commonplace minds here, to understan
Re: What stops a Man from Approaching a Pretty Woman?
that he has better things to do with his precious life.
Re: What stops a Man from Approaching a Pretty Woman?
it's a general question. a man has to make the first move, the woman won't or can't....izzzzzat
ask any goodlooking/hot guy how often he has been approached in his life.
ask every woman you know and she will tell you that she has atleast approached one guy in her life..
when women are attracted to a guy, they approach him. it just so happens that women are attracted to very few guys. men are attracted to / interested in a larger number of women. its just a difference in degrees. too many things are blamed on culture.
Re: What stops a Man from Approaching a Pretty Woman?
I'll give a woman's perspective: I would never hesitate to go up to anyone if I was interested in talking.
being a woman helps. men are generally more friendly to women than the other way round. they are less likely to brush a woman off, be rude. .in short men generally like female attention. but a man has to analyze a lot of things before going up to a woman. a woman reserves the right to throw a fit if god forbid she is not interested.
Re: What stops a Man from Approaching a Pretty Woman?
Exactly, but in my case I knew he liked me and was an decent guy (not giving that type of attention to every girl) and it helped. Other than that, I don’t chase people.
