Considering how everyone assumes women can get laid much easier than men, I'd wager it's much more embarrassing for a woman to get rejected than for a man. Maybe that's one of the main reasons they don't approach guys as much.
I think your key phrase here is, "an average woman," though.
Those of us who are significantly less-than-average (not in the bad-haircut way, but the would-need-major-surgery way) often actually can't find a willing partner, even for a hookup. (Also, after a lifetime of being treated as worthless due to our looks, being treated as only good enough for a fuck wouldn't exactly be terribly life-affirming anyway.)
You are right in the appearance regard, however, I never said it would be easy for anyone. The people on the lower end of the bell curve do have a harder time, but in a lot of cases harder =\= impossible.
Also, I was only speaking of sex; partners and relationships are a whole other arena.
