Do you expect men to approach you?

I don't really go out 'on the pull' because it tends to be about one thing, but I would like to meet someone in a nicer environment. I hate the idea of chatting up women for the following reasons:

1. I don't want to invade their privacy.

2. I don't want them to think I'm after one thing.

3. I resent that I'm expected to because of my gender

4. I'm shy, so why pretend I'm something I'm not

5. I'm not a performing monkey!

Does anyone else feel this way because sometimes I think I might be the only one.

Update:

Thank you for taking the time to answer. Zac you make some interesting points, and yes we are animals but we don't just take a s**t on the floor. If you're happy to fulfil the role that you're so good at then good luck. I could act that way if I wanted but I choose not to conform to those standards. What's the point when all I would end up with is another stereotype. I prefer stronger women who can think for themselves like Leanna c. I would rather meet someone in a nice place on mutual grounds that way the relationship doesn't start on unequal grounds.

    I don't ever expect men to approach me,if I see some1 who I like the look of I just go and talk,even if its just some1 random in the supermarket,lol,I worry about life being too short and missed oppertunities(even just to make new friends),most of my close male friends are people who I've just ran up to and said hey,u look interesting,u wanna be mates?then we just swap numbers,no-one usually says no.x

    If you ever expect to find some women in Life, you've got no choice but to do the approaching because the females aren't gonna do it for you ! (unless you're a Brad Pitt)

    You also need to understand that; by the mere fact of having the courage to approach a lady, it says a lot about you. The girls know you aren't some pathetic excuse for man and you aren't a wussy. Girls are attracted to masculine traits; having the courage to approach is one of those traits.

    1. I don't want to invade their privacy.

    - There is no privacy when you're out in public. You have the wrong mindset when you say things like that. You shouldn't worry about their privacy because they'll enjoy talking to you more than anything.

    2. I don't want them to think I'm after one thing.

    - Girls will detect this no matter what (most of the time). You can't do much about it, unfortunately. Women will assume that whenever a male stranger approaches them, he his hitting on her. A lot of time, it is true. But not always.

    Nevertheless, you need to understand that girls also love sex. Sometimes, even more than guys. So, if you do a good job at turning them on, they'll WANT YOU TO BED THEM.

    You shouldn't be afraid to be a man and you deff. shouldn't apologize for it either.

    3. I resent that I'm expected to because of my gender.

    - I used to resent that too. But like I said earlier, you can't really expect women to approach you unless you're a real Stud or make $150k+.

    But most of all, this is the males role. Of you watch animals looking to mate, you'll find that most of the time, it is the male who is doing the chasing and the approaching. Humans are also Animals. Deal with it.

    4. I'm shy, so why pretend I'm something I'm not.

    If you keep pretending you're something you ain't, you'll eventually believe it and turn into it.

    If you keep telling yourself you're awesome and fearless and great at attracting women, you'll eventually become that exact thing !

    Also, you need to be aware that being shy is extremely unattractive with women. You totally need to get rid of it.

    I was voted 2nd shyest motherfucker in my highschool yearbook. Yet, only 6 months later, I was able to shout in a crowded, not giving a **** about what the others think. I overcame my shyness and women naturally came to me.

    5. I'm not a performing monkey!

    Then don't act like one. I remember my last college semester, I got close to the hottest girls of my philosophy class. Turns out I was too much of a nice guy towards them and I felt like a dancing monkey always trying to impress these incredibly hot girls.

    My mistake was that I was looking for her approval. Instead of forcing her to seek my approval. I was also to reactive to her. When dealing with women, you need to make sure you react much less than she reacts to you while you interact.

    Source(s): All girls want to be approached. It just depends on how you do it, how you present yourself and what kind of guy you are. Heck, just by stopping a girl in the mall, you can make her day by having a nice chat.

    If humans want to make a deal and sign a contract with me any man, woman or child has to meet me at the crossroad.

    I feel the same as you do, but think about it like this; Yes, most women expect men to approach them but at the same time they actually get mad about the things you listed. So WTF is a man to do?!! Just approach the broad. If she expects men to approach her, she shouldn't be irritated when they do

    If a broad doesn't like being approached, maybe she should start doing the approaching.

    I'm EXACTLY like you.

    1. I want to invade their privacy.

    2. I want them to think I'm after one thing.

    3. I don't care what they expect

    4. They pretend when they put on makeup

    5. I got something they can perform!
