This is GAF, so everyone’s answer is “None.”
The only ones with game here are the LGBT folks.

Almost never nowadays. Used to be a decent amount in my younger days, even though I'm not particularly good-looking. It still happens occasionally since I'm tall and relatively in shape for a guy my age, and that's appreciated by some. Once I break the ice though, I still do OK.
Generally speaking, women just don't need to put themselves out there anymore. They hardly ever really did, but now it's basically nil. They all have a rolodex of guys in their phones to choose from.

You must be 12 or older to post on this site.
Yeah, I think we gotta seperate out the gay guys and the women from this data set 'cause that would REALLLY skew the numbers I think.
I (straight guy) have only been approached a few times, married one of them
Though as a married guy you sometimes become the "safe guy" for girls to flirt with and I don't think they would necessarily go through with it if you called their bluff.

"game" is for nerds who lack any natural masculine seductive traits.Then how are *you* posting here?
They use psychological manipulation (or game) to increase their odds with the opposite sex.
In other words, trying to cheat the system.
I can snap my finger and tell a bitch to come with me and she will.

My gym recently started some college program so now there's a bunch of 18-20 year old athletic guys in the gym and they're hitting on the women. God is testing us in that gym.

Married 15 years so I doubt I’d even know it if it even happened. I wasn’t the best at detecting when I was young too.
So, I’ll say never

maybe once a month some random chick will slide in my dms . Most of them are ugly. I remember one was sending me nudes , she had a FAT ASS with a butterface. Could have hit it with a couple of shots of henny with the lights off

There was a girl I knew since early teenage years.
We were all friends (group of friends) but one thing lead to another a decade later. I think she was scared of sleeping alone. Used to cry when doing the deed, I'd go to the toilet and finish myself off. It annoyed her. 'How could you?' etc.
Was fucked up. I saw the trap. Dialing me in the middle of the night (before I knew), for a place to sleep. Her flat was super close. Also her bathroom was absolutely rancid.
Drank the cheapest cider and always wanted to listen to Spandeu Ballet "Gold". Any girl that showed an interest in clubs was warned off, we only hooked up a few times.
Happily married now I think.
Crying was no turn on for me. "keep going!"
FUCK THAT.
Also judging by her shower, well, wasn't often it was used. She had issues.
Just stopped answering her calls. So she saved face in a way. I got tested and said nothing.
Clear.

A what? Sorry I actively avoid social settings, so I'm not really in any situations where it would be appropriate for a chick to approach me.

Spent 10 years with a woman that wanted to kiss me, single night never met her before.
Her intro of interest was kissing her friend in front of me (for the kissing part). As she was interested in me.
Was very weird, I didn't complain. Until 10 years later.

It happened. But none ever went past the approach phase. All of them like “OK, I’m on your radar now, but you’re the man, not gonna go further if you don’t make your move.”
I’m not really sure it’s happened anymore in recent years. I’ve been going around even less than before, and I’m not exactly young.

20's - something but not much.
30's - i'm kinda amazed how much more it's happened to recently. I'm 6'2 and broad shouldered that helps, but i'm getting slightly grey in a good way. One of the girls I met at a work related party described me as a Game of Thrones character, kind weird but sure.

only gets better for men
In my 30s, I was consistently hooking up with girls I wish I could have gotten with in my 20s. I dated a 19 year old in my mid 30s who wouldn’t have given me the time of day in my 20s.
I’m married now (again) which doesn’t seem to change much. You’d think having a ring on would make women less likely to approach you, but that’s not really how it works.

As I get older I get less of those encounters however I used to get that a lot. Especially at work. Like a lot. Shit was crazy. When I worked in retail as a Loss Prevention agent..... Now that I'm married and not in a field with a lot of opposite sex encounters alone its less.
True, I have a girl too. (Without wanting to sound like a douche but it is what it is) she's an ex-model and a wonderful kind/smart person at that. But -lately- when we walk together, looks from other woman go straight to me which -of course- they used to go to her first. It's weird but I kinda roll with.
Easier at work too when meeting new people. It's hard not to flirt back though. Actually I do kinda flirt back, but with limits. But you're right, it feels tempting to pursue though, now that it's way easier at 30. (I won't of course)

I'm not a social creature so it's absolutely not often. Not anymore, anyways. It happened a decent amount in late high school and just after high school though. I was forced to be around people in those days (when I worked at Target) and I'm not an ugly dude so from time to time a girl would come try to make small talk.

When I was younger it was occasionally. I wore Polo, hair gel, smelt like Tommy Hilfiger, and wore K-Swiss shoes. The sole purpose was to attract the opposite sex. Somewhere along the way I started caring about that stuff again. I got married and now I’m family focused. I don’t believe in cheating on your spouse. I guess it’s the feeling of being desired. I should probably do more for myself. I often see people doing what I use to do and wonder what that feels like. I wonder what it feels like to say “no, I’m married, but thanks”.

Almost only by fat women. Mostly at work or my cousin's friends. At every job I've had there's been at least one who got aggressive. I've yet to figure out what's causing it

Some weird thing where for a while, it was either older women or jail bait. I always laugh about it, but once me and my bro were in the supermarket,(NOT THE TIME WE FARTED IN EVERY AISLE OF WALGREENS) I was like in my 20s at the time, some girls like 15 walked up and said they wanted to talk to me, I told them i'm taken (I wasnt) but my brother who is older than me is over there LOL "we dont want him we want you" I just laughed and left not knowing what to say
just weirded me out,.
Was working the polls once and almost started a fight, because the girl I was working with got jealous when another worker said she wanted to talk with me. Later that night the one i worked with said she invited me to "Tutor her in math"
I never followed up after that day for reasons.

I had that phase in my early 20s. It wouldn't have been so bad if they weren't married and unattractive. I would have dated someone in their 40s when I was 20. But not jailbait.

Not often. I’ve been approached by girls/women at parties and social events and stuff like that, but I can be quiet so these interactions usually lead to awkward conversation unless I’m really having a good time and feeling confident. Just depends on my mood I guess, how things are going in my life, If I’m feeling successful, etc (job/work, hobbies, health, even drug use, etc). I’m way more social after a couple hits of THC lol, too bad I quit like a year ago.
