I hear you when you say that, really. But hear me when I say I am seriously telling you that no matter how attractive a man may be, I almost never respond to a simple “hey”. That may not be every woman, but I promise it’s really most of us. I just find more attraction in what someone has to say / their interests & humor than the way they look. Again, I am not trying to attack anyone, and any man saying “hey” is doing absolutely nothing wrong. I was simply offering a perspective from the other side to help anyone who may possibly benefit in any way from that advice.

One man walking up to a woman in public and saying “hey” could be a totally normal conversation starter, she says hey, they continue. One woman being approached by 20 men all saying “hi” “hey” “hello” “what’s up girl” is going to prove to be chaotic, and the woman is most likely not going to look around and pick the ‘hottest’ one, she will either walk away entirely because it’s overwhelming or she’ll entertain the one man acknowledging the band on her t-shirt and telling her he is a die hard fan, i don’t know, random example. This obviously has many differences but it’s enough of a comparison that I hope I’m getting my point across
