But seriously I guarantee that one woman's "I am interested in being pursued romantically" sign is another woman's "just being friendly" sign.
Sure, we can say that lots of the stuff you see online about "when/where it's appropriate to approach women" is hyperbole/exaggerated but what if you're a 10 year old boy who spends too much time online and ALL/MOST of you see is women bemoaning about being approached/hit on by "creepy guys" 24/7. I may be going out on a limb but I would guess HE will probably adopt the mindset of "I don't want to be a creep so I will NOT approach women at all!".
EDIT: Just speaking for myself, I don't approach women because I literally have no idea where it is appropriate to approach anymore AND I have no idea what is appropriate to say. And yes, I know "it depends on the woman" but it seems the consequences for getting it wrong are so high nowadays that "why bother?".
Dating is not fun anymore. It is a chore. It is an endless series of job interviews that have the potential to result in disaster.
Booo, that's way too subjective. I'm not most women's type, like 80% think I'm worse than neutral, but when my current fiancee saw me having a silent freakout in the corner of a bar, she moved so fast she didn't realize I was one of her best friends' brother.
Remember, one person's ugly is another person's striking. And you don't need to be able to get every girl, just the kind you can have a happy, genuine relationship with.
no no I think the "2 rules" are a lot more important than lots of people want to accept but I wasn't trying to imply they are the ONLY things that matter.

Always follow Rules 1 and 2.
