      I think so too but then northerners tell me this is a horrible London attitude and that we should all stop and chat like they do.

      I do worry about the rise of this siege mentality. Better to be friendly but take hints rather than avoid approaching women.

      I don't think it's a siege mentality, I think it's a matter of going to the pub. (Or the church or whatever, I'm just partial to pubs.)

      This seems a little arbitrary. When I was young & single, my criteria for wanting a man to approach me was more abt his looks than location.

      Well I guarantee that if approaching women in the streets was not somewhat taboo a lot of ugly bastards would be making moves l, r & c.

      I suspect fear of rejection more of a deterrent. There's no taboo against making friendly conversation as far as I know.

      A park, queue or bus stop, perhaps, but someone walking down the street? Perhaps I've spent too long in Poland.

      I'd just like us to live in a world where a decent man wasn't afraid to approach a attractive women in the street & be friendly.

      Where the taboo was not 'man talking to woman' but 'man being boorish to woman' or 'man not going away when clear she doesn't want to talk.'

      ...approach my girlfriend (and she would say the same with the roles reversed!).

      Hmm. Yes. But different motivations again. A sense of threat again.
