Tbh this is what happens when ugly guys listen to women or red pilled retards. "Just be confident and approach bro!" You can approach as many women as you want and it'll never lead to anything if you're ugly.
If this retard just listened to his own instincts this never would have happened. The reason why so many men feel anxious about approaching women is because the anxiety works as a self-preservation mechanism. But most men are huffing copium and they'd rather listen to redpill copers than their own body and their own intuition.
You're not supposed to approach random women you don't even know, because they'll reject you instantly if you are ugly. Most women want nothing to do with most men. They don't even want to have small talk with you. And they definitely don't want you to ask for their number. And your very own body recognises this as true, which is why you experience social anxiety.
Attractive men don't have this problem, which is why they can so easily state things like "just approach bro!" Because either women approach attractive men, or they flirt or drop signs that he should approach. The process is painless and easy, and these women make it a good experience for the men, thus building their confidence even more. When women say they want men to approach them, they don't mean you. They mean the 6'5 guy who is attractive.
More men need to understand this. Approaching women as an ugly man will just harm your own mental health. If women wanted you to approach, YOU WOULD KNOW BECAUSE THEY WOULD MAKE IT SO OBVIOUS OR THEY WOULD APPROACH YOU THEMSELVES.
