How to you reconcile the conflicting narratives that women do not want to be approached by men anymore but also men are still expected to make the first move?

Right. The only natural meaning of "some" here is anything greater than none and less than all. By rhetorically asking if only "some" women like something, they're writing off the phrases you mentioned and implying that it is instead either all or no women. We both know which of the two they mean. We don't need to worry about the phrases you mentioned, because they excluded them for us.

I understand it might seem that for fat men, but I assure you it's not true. There's an entire subset of people attracted to the "dad bod." I know plenty of obese men that are in successful relationships or do well with ladies. Notwithstanding, I understand your frustration.
