Why are women so friendly and forward when you appear sad?

It seems like the only time I have girls approaching is when I'm on the verge of tears. Whenever I look depressed, they seem to be more at ease, comfortable, in my presence. They're more willing to talk and hang out. And sometimes they're the ones approaching me for various stuff.

One recent example was when it seems like nothing was going to work out with a girl I've been spending the past year falling in love with. I walked around campus on the threshold of breaking down. This was also one of those rare moments where I decided not to hide it. If people could tell on my face something was up, so be it.

And as a result, I had a classmate I haven't seen in a year, nor was very close to, randomly say "hi" before heading to do her finals. Another girl, whom I've never seen before, come up to me in the library and introduced herself (got her number right after). Another girl I hadn't seen in a while, but had a crush on before, came up to me to talk and catch up (got her number as well after this). A few women in my classes that I got to know this term were more friendly and snuggling up to me a bit. And some girl who I apparently met earlier this term, but I don't remember, stopped me to have a chat, then gave me a hug before heading off somewhere else.

This isn't the first time I've had stuff like that happen when I go around looking like I'm about to cry. I don't see the appeal, either. So why does it work on women?

Because they watched Donnie Darko too many times and think you're mysterious and brooding.

this. when i was younger, about 16-17, i was really quiet and would often looked depressed, women loved it. Not all women, but a large percentage of are obsessed with romantic fantasies. Sad guys appear interesting to them, they look as though they have shit going on in their life.

Mothering nature. You're headed for friendzone town this way though - not sure if you're aware of that.

Maternal instinct.

There was a study, that I can't find anymore, where men and women rated how attractive certain facial expressions were on the opposite sex. For men, smiling was the most attractive on women. While women rated sad-looking men the highest. Apparently, a sad guy is viewed as more in need of somebody to be there for him; while smiles appear to be seen as a feminine trait.

/adv/ in a nutshell: They have a lot to say, but no clue what they're talking about.

Internet advice regarding women tend to be hostile and vehement anyway.

Simply put: Women are attracted to passion.
