Are pretty girls harder to approach?

I am uncertain of what it is like for you younger folks. But with older folks, it is dangerous for men to approach ANY kind of woman be it pretty or not so pretty. How so? It started back in the early 90's with the Feminist Movement which introduced Sexual Harassment. Approach the wrong woman at the wrong time and STRIKE! The shark has bitten. To be sued for harassment over something so trivial such as asking a woman out changes a man's perspective; and respect. For women from that moment on. 15 years of men-bashing and open feminist extremism has done the damage. I haven't asked an american woman out in almost 10 years. Never know what woman would strike.

Oh yeah, the men-bashing. Nothing quite like a woman rudefully telling a man off because he isn't her type. From too short, not into a particular race, you name it. Ever told a man off because his car is not a BMW? Heard that one too. Ever go to the malls and notice women wearing shirts degrading men as thought it's funny? It's about as funny to a man as a racial slur.

Have I mentioned the men-bashing? I think you get the idea.

Most guys are still getting comfortable with themselves. The more attractive the girl the more likely they are use to getting hit on. A girl with more options does make a guy a bit more nervous but as guys get older they will get their confidence up. Sometimes over confident.

As for settling for the second best thing. I think they go for a girl who they feel is a better match to them. If a guy thinks he is "hot stuff" he will go for any girl he wants. The guys who think they are attractive but know they are not "God's gift to women" will go for a girl they are attracted to that probably has a similar confidence level as them. It isn't settling. Its a better fit.

The more attractive, more likely the more popular. In High School I never approached these women because of my weight problems I had back then. Now that I'm one of the guys that turn women's heads I have more confidence in myself but I still have trouble asking a hot girl out. It probably still has to do with how the attractive women treated me back then. Currently I'm not interested in finding a date. I dated so many women last year but none of them were relationship material. I'm taking this year off.

Sometimes. I think this happens more when you are younger. I know I've had a few HS classmates tell me that they always wanted to ask me out but were afraid to do it. The funny thing is, I would've gone out with some of them.
