a woman’s physical attractiveness affects a man’s willingness to approach?

[Trouble]

i've been told by many people that i have an rbf so i think that's why i never really get approached, especially when i'm alone. i also don't have a very flirty personality and i think that's a factor as well

No. This is a true RBF.


Seems unfortunately common among Latinas.

Honestly I find that so stupid, and I’ve never understood why women need validation from their friends. It’s not like they’re the one going for the guy.

Right, I'm with you on this one, but once you hit the 30s you start seeing this whole dating thing differently.

Lol I’m nearly there. I’m not single anymore but I went through a separation about a year ago and dating around was awful. I didn’t feel a connection with anyone.

Lol I’ve had this same discussion with my guy friends,
So assuming we’re talking about a bar/restaurant setting, my friends said it’s not so much about a woman being so good looking she’s intimidating but more so how promiscuous she comes off.. they said they’d be more willing to approach an attractive flirtatious woman rather than a gorgeous uptight woman.. if that makes sense.

you are pretty

when I was younger and used to go to night clubs n stuff, it always struck me how girls would look for validation from their female friends before accepting or rejecting a lads advances

This is why when she is with a friend, you should approach the one you are not interested in, or at least both equally - to make the one you are interested in jealous.

But when she is alone, no, in such case there is no correlation of the sort that the OP mentioned.

Back in 2016, it was actually my first night going out clubbing, I was a bit drunk, but not too much. This attractive woman started twerking on me, then her friend signaled her to "turn around" and she did, looked at me disgusted and left. That has stuck with me since then. I was a bit chubby then and not so groomed, but still, I was not that ugly...
This is basically an anecdote that proves why a lot of lads do not approach women above average for the most part unless they have low social inhibition or they handle rejection very good. Women can be scary creatures and they do not realize it for the most part.

But it was her ugly friend who made that happen, not the one you approached.

Average and ugly girls usually behave worse than attractive ones.

Attractive girls also have better personality usually (nope, it is not halo effect).

Depends on the country/city. If you live in a place where most women are ugly you don't stand a chance even with a meh looking girl. In a country where all women are hot then you can have anyone you want.

In your avatar you do have rbf, but not in all pictures. Im not mean just saying. But i think rbf can make you sexy too if it is on the right girl. I think you are sexy, and cute but you know how I think about you.
