A lot of guys are shy or inexperienced. My bff's boyfriend didn't approach her but he was crazy over her and was being peacock around her until she finally approached him. Some guys are just insecure or inexperienced and want the girl to start.
Not necessarily. There are dozens of factors. Shyness, history of rejection, anxiety. Perhaps he is nervous as it is, and then in his head he jumps to the conclusion that you will reject him, and thinks "why bother?"

This is definitely true, this guy knows what he is talking about, the trying to find the right moment guys do exactly what he was saying, I may have approached one or twice when she was with her friends. I have always approached her when she's just by herself walking to her next class.
Wrong. What percentage if girls approach a guy they like? The percentage is extremely low. Why? They don't have the courage or they fear rejection. You think guys are any different? Nope.
I rarely approach women. Decades of experience have taught me that that there is rarely any benefit to it, and more often than not women seem to be pretty unkind about rejecting someone.
Even if he approaches you does not guarantee he likes you. Most men just want in her pants.

you got the sarcasm in that last sentence didn't you? i should include ("she gives off a creepy/murderous look" after adorable to make it more understandable.)
@StickStickity13 How would it be giving anything up? How is starting a conversation, introducing yourself, being more friendly, breaking the ice, giving anyone power? A woman can still require that the guy ask for the date and lead in the courtship, but many guys just need the go ahead. Why does everything have to be a power dynamic?
@Hippppo I don't approach women either, and yes, it would be nice if women would introduce themselves more or show signs of interest. Then again, I once had a cute girl come up to me and comment my shirt at a concert. I told her, thanks and would probably continued talking to her but she walked away really fast with her friend. She was also much younger than me, so probably wouldn't have worked out, but still. So yeah, women do show signs and approach sometimes, but that doesn't always help.
I think I belong to the last 10% of guys that dude pointed out in the video. Sucks, but I am working on it.

Hard to tell. If he is a shy guy, then he will likely not approach. If he is the confident type, he will.

Stopped at 3:40, true what he says in my opinion. If a guy doesn't approach you, it doesn't mean he doesn't like you, what he said.
I don't approach women. if she doesn't like me she can have me thrown in jail, I don't care how hot you are you aren't worth that risk.

I think I'm glad more guys don't approach because it makes me even more successful.
:D lmao

Lol most guys are nervous, shy or can't be bothered. To be honest we are kinda scary :P
I believe it so tht if he does not approach is as simple as he is not interested. Is either black or white there are no things in between.

Agreed, approaching gives men the power I don't understand why men want to give that up.

i only watched the first minute and a half but he's absolutely right.
I never approach any women now, even if i like her.
Why is that?
@UnknownGagsUser i try to distant myself from everyone.
i try to avoid serious relatiobships
Distance*
No, he might like you a lot, but he is probably too shy.
I never approach any woman. I don't "chase" at all.
Do you want woman to approach you?

Most likely but not always... he could be painfully shy or taken. Either way he's unavailable
No. Men don't approach for the same reasons women don't.
I voted for the first but i really meant to vote for "no"
