Top pair hands in the blinds

[StLouisMike]

I have noticed that I am much more successful playing hands like AQ suited or not more passively before the flop in the blinds and earlier positions. I realize that AQs is a raising hand preflop but, after missing coupled with a continuation hand I feel it is much easier to call in the blinds and play on from there. Ive often wondered about the idea of playing these types of hands (AQ or AJ) aggressively preflop because of the types of hands they make after the flop (TPGK). Is playing these hands OOP weakly preflop the wrong way to play? Thanks for the replies in advance.
