Some comments from American women:

This only happened a few times in my experience, but I would like a guy to say something, anything, that's kinda like an icebreaker, and if I'm feeling up for it, I'll respond, and then, BAM, conversation. I know I didn't really explain that well, but here's an example (actually happened):
In a crowded bus: Him: Sorry for bumping into you, they're cramming us like sardines in here. Me: That's fine. They really need more buses going this route during rush hour.
And then a conversation about public transportation happens, which can turn into a conversation about other things.
I know that sounds kinda scripted and fake, but it happens. If you're at a bookstore, a guy can make a comment on a book you're looking at. Coffee shop: Saying "good choice" when you order your favorite drink. Dog park: "Wow, your dog is really energetic. What breed is it?"
Note that none of the above has anything to do with my physical features.
The best part is that you have the choice to continue the conversation if you want to. You can just say the bare minimum and have it be done. If the guy still pursues the conversation, then that's when you know he's creepy. I really hate it when guys keep trying to talk to me when I obviously don't want to talk to him. Happened to me one time on a flight. Not fun.
^ Sounds just like the Day Bang approach. Being indirect is not weak or unmanly. Again, American women don't appreciate direct romantic/sexual advances. If you read this thread, the women say it's due to high levels of street harassment
that American women experience.
