Speaking within a race group and nationality (I’m a white Canadian), from what I’ve seen, half the time what you’re experiencing may have a lot to do with different manners and customs between classes. A male approach that might pass for cool, friendly and low pressure to lower-middle or working class women–say, a compliment right off the bat–might seem rude/threatening/pushy to a middle-upper middle class woman, because they’re used to a less straightforward approach from the guys they know. Flipside: you might get an apparently cool/snooty reaction from middle-upper class women, but she might think she’s being reasonably polite or even receptive, because that’s how a middle class guy would take it. And of course, there are all kinds of genuine snobs out there, too.
