Walking up to a woman takes courage, which is a desirable quality. Why should a woman wan't a man, that lacks the balls to talk to her? The mating dance of many species has rules they have to follow. Complaining about them does zero for your dating success. The female decides if his display is good enough for her.
The App Bumble has women message first and it is strange for them.

My wife made the first move, and technically I think she actually proposed first - but these gender roles are by no means hard coded and are primarily enforced through social structures. Different strokes for different folks. Don't be so strict with your social structures and you'll probably be happier.
