It is, I never went after the most attractive girl but the second or third. Usually they were a bit more insecure and easier to talk to bc they opened up. That said, not sure where you are going because while that was my angle, a few of my other friends would have likely been overbearing towards you. - also, go up and say hi or go to get a drink next to a guy you are interested in and just make small talk. Once you start a conversation the odds are solid it will continue.

Easier said than done. Everyone can be nervous or insecure. But OP another idea if you're not comfortable approaching a guy; I started approaching guys for my friends who are single a playing the how I met your mother game "have you met ted?" It's worked when I've done it for some friends.

But in all honesty, break away from the herd. I'll approach women in groups of 2-3, but anything more than that can get messy and I tend to avoid.

Not really, Louis CK says it well, it is way scarier for you. Men are bigger, stronger and historically dangerous to women. That said, the worst thing you can do is tell me know and a succesfful night can be filled with no's, You only need one yes. Think of it like business development, if you respond to enough RFP's, you are bound to win one eventually.

Make eye contact. If a guy thinks you're checking him out he'll be more likely to approach.

The breaking away comment good. I don't approach mixed groups (men and women) and generally keep it to ladies by themselves or in a group of 2, MAYBE 3. Go order a drink by the dude or something if in a group. Make it easier to approach

Isolate and then move in. A group of girls are usually a c0ck block unless you are newly single and they hated your ex. As a guy, we used to ask one of the girls with us to go over and open it up. The defenses go down probably because it is assumed that we aren't psycopaths looking to have a Cosby kind of night.

like

It is. Some girls naturally have a bitch face or intimidating face that they will be bitchy. So naturally men are less likely to approach.
