OK....against Dan's probable advice, I am gonna give it my shot here.
It would be easier to say what makes a woman MORE approachable. A smile, a laugh, a glance, a simple Hello. Any number of signs can be used to let us guys know you are interested. Everyone is afraid to be rejected but, for us guys it seems to be that much harder. The rule of thumb is that the guy should make the first move. Who made up this rule anyway? Who says two people can't have a conversation and see if things have a spark from there? As to who starts it...does it really matter? It's obvious that when someone approaches someone else of the opposite sex, there is some sort of interest there. That doesn't mean every guy is just looking to get you into bed. Keep that in mind when we do approach you. I know I am a very outgoing guy and I sometimes strike up a conversation with a woman just to talk.
Being less approachable is when you have a frown on your face, look down all the time, etc. No man or woman wants to be with someone that brings them down. Also, don't give the look that you are better than us. WE ALREADY KNOW THAT! For some reason, women still are attracted to us guys. If you want to be approached, make us want to approach you. Not with skimpy outfits and a filthy mouth but, with true APPEAL!

It's the unapproachable ones that are often the easiest to get to as that facade is usually easily broken. Extremely pretty women use it all the time to keep the guys with low self esteem from bugging them.
No man or woman wants to be with someone that brings them down!
Then there are the ones that are just plain downers...
The trick is in figuring out who has the facade up and who is just a miserable wretch.

I too would love to know the answer to this question. I am new to the whole dating scene and have been told that I am unapproachable. This of course makes me even more self concious. I am a very outgoing, energetic person who will talk to anyone, but am shy at first. So I can use all the help i can get!

A while ago I read a book regarding communication and the author recommends what he called the SOFTEN approach.
Smile - so you seem friendly
Open posture - so you seem open to contact, not defensive
Forward lean - so you seem ready/eager to engage in conversation
Touch - make physical contact on their hand/arm so there isn't only a verbal connection
Eye contact - makes them feel like you are truly interested in them and no one else
Nod - so you seem interested in what they are saying/doing
so FWIW, that was one author's opinion about how to be approachable/engaging

All true. If she has her arms crossed, isn't smiling, and is barely paying attention to whomever she is with, then she is not approachable. Most women don't want every Tom, D*ck, and Harry to walk up to them and hit on them. A polite smile towards the guy the DO want to approach them will always work. The guys that are telling you that you aren't approachable are normally the guys you don't want to be approached by. Live by that and you'll be fine. In this day and age, the woman can approach the guy anyway. Guy's egos go bonkers for that kind of stuff!

KNIGHT...Thanks for the advice to my email. I tried to reply but it said I was blocked. Since I am rather outgoing and far from shy, I typically don't have a problem approaching a woman and starting a conversation. Just a little tip here too. Ladies, sometimes when a man DOES APPROACH you...that doesn't mean he is interested in dating you. Many times, I have struck up a conversation just to make conversation and be nice. Us guys are rather transparent. We will definitely give you the signals to let you know! Most of us aren't real subtle either!

Mr.Kink, you didn't answer the question, which is what makes a woman LESS approachable?
Of course if someone is approachable they are EASIER to talk to. If easier to talk to then easier to move on to a date, or WHATEVER, but that wasn't the question.
What do you consider "roadblocks?"

Pretty simple really, Eye contact. People can and do send mixed signals with their body language, most of which is mostly unconscious and goes back to our caveman/woman days before we had language. But IF a woman is unwilling to make EYE contact or MAINTAIN it for more than the briefest of glances, I consider her closed to any type of contact. Even a "shy" woman should learn to muster a slight or silly grin if she is open to a conversation. It need not be a killer smile.
You would be surprised at the number of women who resolutely refuse to make ANY eye contact whatsoever as if to do so would give a man the go ahead to "have his way" with her. I always wonder just what it is that is eating them.

It's a facade... I bet most of those women who never make eye contact with anyone are in the top 10%.
I hear it can be hard for the very good looking, when every glance is misconstrued as interest and an invitation... they learn not to make glances.

It's all in the attitude. If a woman is available or interested then its not hard to tell so. If she's unavailable then that is also apparent. Not a matter of posturing or eye contact. Is simply a matter of mindset.
As far as tattoos. i've dated lady's with and without. Have no preconceived notions because they have all been unique and one of a kind.

Would you find a woman with many tattoos and piercings approachable?
Wouldnt care how approachable she was, her decorations dont fit with my lifestyle so its a deal killer before the deal even gets started.
Would you have a preconceived notion of what she "must" be like?
No, not really but only because the tats are such a deal breaker that I really dont care.
I will say this though, in psychological circles they are realizing there is a fine line between body decorations and self mutilation and more than three tats is probably crossing that line.

As for the snobby and stuck up, those are just facades put up to keep idiots with low self esteem from hitting on them... mostly its a barrier you can get through in 10 seconds or less if you are so inclined. Most people who can are rarely ever so inclined... or do it for sport.

Some people are actually really snobby and stuck-up but if you act like you are too (put on the "facade") they may think you are then worthy of their attention. If someone seems or acts that way, I wouldn't even bother.

its worth more then that ! i agree, and when it comes to men, well one thing that i would have to say would make someome seem unaproachable is when i guy stands with his arms crossed against his chest, this body language tells me he isnt available or open to concversation or one who never smiles and looks angry, although i gotta say sometimes it just makes me have to approach them ..... a smile goes along way !
