So... how am I supposed to approach a woman I find attractive if women are no longer open to being approached?

I would ask this in a different subreddit but the last time I did so I got flamed because of a misunderstanding so I am no longer going to be there. This subreddit is by far one of the most chill ones I've ever been in and I enjoy it a lot.

I ask this question out of confusion. I hear a lot of women talk about how tiring it is when men approach them and ask them for their contact information or ask them on dates. I used to be the guy that would approach someone I have interacted with positively and see if she'd like a date. I never had success this way, and I think it's because of the notion that some guys only want to befriend a woman to sleeo with them.

I am genuinely looking for a wife. I could care less about skin color. As long as she has good hygiene and a good personality I am open to dating to see how things go, but I don't think many women feel the same. It's either they *really* like you or they *really* don't. Even the polite women who have turned me down ended up giving me a vibe that they probably never wanted to interact in the first place and was just being nice, which honestly made me stop approaching women after I realized they just hate it and I really have no place to do so.
