In a business context I tend to agree with what you're getting at. However, that shouldn't be our criteria generally speaking. I mean, most straight men don't ask out other straight men on dates under any circumstances. There is still an element of sex/dating/romance/coupling involved between hetero men and hetero women. There's even quite a bit of it in the workplace that leads to long term relationships.
Don't get me wrong, I get what your saying but I don't think that your example should be the standard that we use as to whether it's appropriate to say something to a woman.
