Search Results: dating a shorter guy

I know this is not everybody but in the media and in general, bad behavior/decisions are tolerated much more in women than in men.

If you go out and ask 100 random women in an average income neighborhood, a large majority will say that they don't even believe that they are underprivileged/disadvantaged/oppressed due to their gender, so I think it's ridiculous that society is creating this narrative of women being so helpless...

For example, if a woman becomes fat from eating too much, people say "Girl, you have nice curves and you're beautiful the way you are." If a man becomes fat, "You're fat. Go hit the gym." Even when in comes to something you can't change like height, guys don't say anything about women for the most part. Girls say, "You must be taller." "Short guys are the worst."

If a woman is broke from lack of effort, "There is a wage gap."
If a man is broke from lack of effort, "He's not worth dating. He's a loser."

If a woman cheats, "Girl, your happiness is the most important thing."
If a man cheats, "He's a scumbag!"

Now I don't know the exact crime numbers and laws and they vary from different areas but generally it goes something like this:
Women rapes a guy, she gets 5 years. Man rapes a girl, its 30 to 40 years.
Woman murders a man, she gets 10 years. Man murders a woman, he gets 50 years to life.

If a girl is rude, "You're being real. You're strong and independent."
If a guy is rude, "What an asshole!"

What i mean by a "cold approached" is meeting for the first time, having a brief conversation, and asking for your number.

The kind of scenario I'm imagining is just introducing myself, having a short conversation, and if that goes well, say that we should hang out,, and ask for her number.

How would you react if a generally likable and attractive guy cold approached you? Would it be a turn off? Enough to turn him down ghost him?
Please vote while keeping that hypothetical situation in mind.

I've done it a few times at my college campus. But have only been turned down or not received responses to my texts.

So what I'm trying to figure out is if cold approaching is a failing endeavor in general, or if I just need to be more personable and build more confidence/confort.

I have not provided "it tepends" as an option because dating depends on the person in general. You're just not going to click with everybody regardless of how you meet them.
