I think the people who look down upon it are mostly the older crowd whose presence and opinion in most scenarios is irrelevant. Fortunately, with our generation its a stigma that is starting to fade. I myself and some of my buddies have been approached on a few occasions, but the number is no where near the frequency of which we've approached someone.

It's true though, even as it is becoming more socially acceptable: women will continue to lack the absolute need to approach men.

My husband and I met in game in 2001 and got married in 2002. When we met we lived on different continents.

I grew up with a guy that ended up marrying someone he met on EQ. He was 19 and she was roughly twice his age. He eventually moved across the country to live with her. It was a few friends and myself that got him started on the game, we thought it was hilarious, his family did not. But they are still married and afaik the family eventually accepted his Everquest bride.

There's a lot of misogyny and guys think it's funny. There's a reason I play a male toon.

Women don't approach men because they don't have to. Talking to a stranger or risking a humiliating rejection in front of your social group are (with good reason) frightening and unpleasant events. Fortunately for women, even the most homely 25 year old girl will have a few suitors. Men would sit in the corner forever.
