How often would you say some of you get approached by the opposite sex.

Every time I go out 😂

Being foreign in japan 🫢🫡
Fortunately/unfortunately the last time I went out in Japan I was with a super buff (and good looking) mate. He's an absolute magnet for women. Literally just walking along the street you can also see their knickers drop.

The fucker can sing and play the guitar too. Oh, and got pretty much fluent in Japanese in about three years from scratch.

Pretty much none. I was approached by one about 6-7 years ago at work and turned her down before she could try to lure me.

I'm gay, so I don't do anything to try to be attractive to the opposite, anyway.

Most of my close friends are female so pretty regularly. Unless you meant in that other way then I don't know, I'm a complete airhead and oblivious if anyone did since I'll take it at face value and talk to them and then move on. I don't have much interest to begin with.

Doubt many do, I've been lucky that I click.

Best ones though that were keepers, I sought out. As in interest was there. No harm in that.

Before I got married: -1

After I got married: +1

The wedding ring works.

When I got divorced I kept wearing the wedding ring for a while for this exact reason.

Short answer:
Not much

Long answer:
At work = never. EDIT: False / misremembered. Was approached once, back in 2012. He wanted to fool around in the locker room. I had the hots for him before he approached me, but he only wanted someone to do risky locker room play. I wasn't into that. He was fired shortly after that. Think he approached the wrong guy. lol Was so long ago I almost forgot. lol

At a bar = depends. I used to once in a while go to bear bars, but they tend to be a insular / incestuous, and I'm normal weight and don't dress the part, so only approached a few times.

Online = all the time. More so when I was more active.

I don't even understand how that's possible. If you attend party's and social gatherings. U naturally will get hit on at some point. Those events are nothing more then people trying to find partners really.

The best if you are getting older is attend your friends weddings, u will get lots of 30+ girls that are desperate trying to find a guy.

I remember one girl I met.

Went to a bar that had a chalk board and I was drawing all over it.

Passed out in bed with her. She ghosted me. I draw very good in chalk!

I could have been any Mr.Man she wanted, just fell asleep. She was boring.

Oh was at a Rocky Show screening here, had some random girl talk to me. All innocent.

Girlfriend was going to kill her. Worst thing was my brothers missus was egging her on. We left with two annoyed girlfriends and serious headaches from the whining. My missus nearly assaulted her, after I said she was missus. I'm into the show since a teen, it's a pantomime.

People throwing shit about ...

Great fun.

Occasionally. With very rare exception it would happen at a bar. At parties it was way more likely but didn't happen too often.

As a decent looking guy that's now 40 it didn't happen very often except for when I did americorps nccc. The Charleston, SC base was a split of 70% women to men so ya had better chances.
 
Eyes, some compliments and some forced closeness give me the get go to do so quite often. I notice it happens more when I'm well clothed and with contacts instead of glasses.

I don't like compliments or the presence of someone not close, too close. Eyes are ok, people can stare at me all they want. I don't approach, because I'm in a relationship/not emotionally available and even if I wasn't, I remember thinking of it as a hassle. I don't really want to know someone just because they're horny/attracted, there has to be something else there.

How often? It depends, eyes certainly once or twice a week, increases if I'm out a lot. Things invading my space... too much in my face, once or twice times per year, probably.
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.
You did the math.
I’ve read that you get less approached when you are really attractive, as the opposite sex thinks that they won’t stand a chance with you. So I just go with this answer.
Yes, but they can't stop looking at you when that happens.

It's your choice to approach or not. In fact it's the same for them. We guys stare and they usually don't come over.

Because the conversation is awkward when it's solely based on attraction by one of the parts, I guess.

You get approached less by normal people.

Instead you get people who are conceited and self centred, overly sexist or incels who act creepy and think I owe something to them just for giving them a smile or a few words.
