so who cares if a woman is more willing to talk to an attractive man? does she not get to decide who she talks to? [/quote]

Standards of what constitutes harassment shouldn't hinge on your level of attractiveness with more restrictive standards of behavior imposed on people simply because they're unattractive. That doesn't mean women should have to date ugly guys, but it seems a little arbitrary to say that a man has behaved badly initiating a social encounter because he's ugly when you wouldn't characterize the exact same behavior the same way if the guy happened to be attractive.

I hear the pain behind your post, and suggest that women aren’t avoiding you because of your physical appearance. They are avoiding you because of your social ineptitude and the fact that you are likely a boor.[/quote]

I am not goodlooking.  I am male, middle aged, and overweight.  I will talk to people independent of their attractiveness.  But, only if they want to talk to me.  If I know them, I will say hi.  If I don't, I might banter if they are otherwise not occupied.  If they ignore me (or do not respond), I have two options:  I can walk away, or I can keep pestering them.  One thing that makes it easier for me is I just assume no woman other than my wife wants to sleep with me.  If I am wrong, so be it.  But, unless she hits me over the head with something telling me yes, I avoid it.

It as worked for me since puberty.[/quote]

by "people" do you mean all people? or attractive young women? [/quote]

I mean people.  I talk to anyone that looks receptive.  I like talking to people.  [/quote]
