It sure doesn’t match the reality I live in. I see guys with really bad social skills struggling with this, but that can be overcome.

Well perhaps it's regional to some degree, I can't say, but I certainly know other people who think this way and it's what I'm scared of when approaching women. I'm not scared of harassment accusations (that seems like it's been blown out of all proportion). I just don't want to be perceived as sexually interested in them and I know that if the tables were turned I would immediately assume exactly that.
