'''Approach walls''' are a bratty or closed first response when you walk up — she acts like she does not want to be approached even when she might. [[Girls Chase]] uses this name on purpose. The older ASF word is '''bitch shield'''.

Chase's account: it is often armor, not a verdict. Women use it to screen drunk, needy, or socially deaf men. A wall that drops after you stay calm and human is not "she hated you." A wall that stays, with lean-out and [[IOD]]s, is a no. [[Calibration]] is the skill. Pleading, arguing, or punishing her for the wall is the beginner fail.

Mystery-era teaching treated the shield as something a [[negging|neg]] punches through. The house school allows a light tease. It does not make punching the default.
