i don't think it's that bad in reality only online not really out in the world. girls talk to me and have even tried to ask me out and i'm not brad pitt.  i think a lot of them are pretty damn desperate.  after all the women are complaining men don't even talk to them anymore. they sure do try to talk to me.  and that's my point.  if you want a woman get a job if you don't have one.  then? talk to them. about the weather, about your car repair, i don't care. do it.  then later, do it again.  and again.  pretty soon you're not a stranger.  she'll probably know your name.  this all can happen at work or just with a cashier you often meet somewhere you often go. at some point she will recognize you.  she'll say, " hey there! " like she knows you.  at this point they'll often even know your name.  and especially if she's greeting you by name, then it's time, or if she just seems to recognize you.  now you can ask her out. or just for her number. or both.  because you're not a stranger.  women don't like the cold approach it's obviously for shallow reasons.  but if you talk to one a little bit and she starts to recognize you and she's smiling and wants to talk to you, because you've been talking to her when you see her?  then you can ask her out.  try it.
