I have been approached in civilized settings, and I was able to
turn the person down politely.  On the other hand, I have been
approached on the street (or in a relatively secluded area) and
I started considering escape routes and scanning the area for
pick-up weapons. (Much the way I suppose a woman (who is as 
paranoiac on the street as me) would react to a situation that
looks like rape.)  My ex-step-brother used to be proud of how
he "punched queers' lights out" when they tried to pick him up.
It was more a matter of his liking to deck people, and a man
propositioning him was a good excuse (the guy's not usually going to
go to the police and say, 'I tried to pick him up and he hit me.')
