How do I become more approachable and less intimidating?

[fotress]

I'm not a type of person that gets approached by guys all the time. I've always had a reason why I'm not ready to date. But now I'm ready to date and the problem is I'm not getting approached. I was talking to a friend and he said I give the vibes of someone that doesn't want to be approached

You might have a resting bitch face that you don’t realize you have , so it’s best for you to try to smile
More , so guys’ don’t feel that intimidated toward you, if you have a resting bitch face , most guys’ might assume you are a bitch when really you aren’t , so try to smile more when you are put

Trying to extrapolate here. I try to maximise my intimidation factor in public to stop people approaching me... so... logically speaking, doing the opposite of what I do should result in being less intimidating.

... So... try to make yourself look small by wearing lightweight clothing, adopt a submissive posture and keep your head lowered, expose your eyes (but from a low position), tone your statements as though they were questions to give the impression of uncertainty, speak in a higher register, wear low-contrast clothing, don't show your teeth...
I've probably forgotten something, but I can't be arsed to waste time thinking longer about it.

Try smiling when people make eye contact or do a brow flash. Or break the ice by saying hello 👋.

Stop waiting. Do the approaching yourself. What's stopping you taking the initiative?

They aren't intimidated, they just aren't interested. You've done a great job pushing everyone away and giving off the "do not approach " vibe now no one will take the chance of approaching you.

There is a good chance you missed your chance entirely given the current dating market. Men in general are just not interested except for quick hookups.

@XXTruthfulOgrexx. There is a lot of truth in what you say.

I stopped approaching women a long time ago. Thus no matter how approachable they looked, it wouldn't matter. I get the feeling a lot of other guys no longer approach either.

Smile and eye contact towards those you're potentially interested in. Open body language too. There's a lot of potential things but we don't know you lol

The days of men approaching are pretty much over. It's not just a rejection risk anymore It's possible jail time. So your going to have to do the approaching

[Boomchakalaca]

🙄 thats bc y'all be going for girls who r influenced by social media and entitled mouths. Crop tops and booty shorts

[captain_voidwalker]

So basically all girls gotcha

[JacobJordan]

@Boomchakalaca that narrows down the number of ladies to about 98%. I am married and even I wouldn't approach women for anything. Not about to risk my family cause Mandy, Brandy or Candy think they are oh so special.

Well let me ask this, are you a feminist or more trad?

[bobalife]

Cliche but true: eye contact and smile :)
