i reject your premise; the whole notion of approaching a woman romantically is the historic aberration. for our entire existence men and women knew one another from a young age as part of the same tribe, city, area, etc. sometimes outliers would end up strangers in a strange land, but even this comes with a particular, externally-contextualized place in the herd. this modern fractured individualism where courting is a series of job interviews is whats new and its having disastrous effects on the human race. humans are meant to marry men/women their families know and watched grow up.  this is also a major factor in the usa
