Old Goldies #5: Guys have Approach Anxiety, Girls have ApproachED anxiety

Last installment...and the best old goldie I have for you guys:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I learned this in Beijing, whether they are conservative or extremely open. Just like guys have approach anxiety, girls have "approached" anxiety (aka Being Approached Anxiety). BUT unlike guys that try to get over approach anxiety, girls don’t have ANY incentive to work on "approached" anxiety, unless they are becoming more social either for personal or professional reasons, such as a girl becoming a bar hostess will naturally have to become more approachable.

I'll give you a couple of examples:
The shy girl has approached anxiety because she is not used to talk to strangers. So when a guy goes up to her and approach, she doesnt really know how to deal with it.

The super hottie has approached anxiety because she gets hit on too much. She's seen it all: guys that have a ton of girls (prolly escorts) going up to her, guys that wear fuzzy hat with crazy PUA routines, guys that look so pimp with their ultra-alpha bodylanguage. Thus, she's hesitant to be approached.

The girl that has just had her toe stepped on has approached anxiety because her toe hurts so much that the last thing she needs at that moment is a guy courting her. What about her toe?!

The loyal girlfriend has approached anxiety because shes scared of falling for a guy thats so mesmerizing as she is already taken.

The escort has approached anxiety because she is trying to keep a low-profile as she is still working, she'd love to talk to you but her career comes first. She doesnt wanna get caught up with a cute guy because it'll interfere with the relationship she has with her clients. She also doesnt want her profile to be blown out in the open so its even more anxiety for her.

The regular hottie has approached anxiety because shes dealt with good looking guys before. In the beginning, they were overjoyed. Then they realized it was too good to be true. The next time a goodlooking guy with game came about, theyre extremely hesitant.

There are a ton more cases and I’m sure you can think of more (I can already think of at least 7 more), but the point is to demonstrate that the next time a girl is unreactive or negative to your approach, perhaps she has approached anxiety! Help her get over that. Everybody has anxiety, guys or girls. As I said, it's just that we are dealing with our AA, but most of them arent, so we gotta give them a helping hand.
