It's fine if you are having lunch alone or in a store in close proximity to each other and both of you have had some eye contact showing interest. If it's just some random guy walking up to me on the street, weird. I am in NYC and have had it happen to me several times. Not to mention the cat calls.

I find that lately, I usually have to initiate conversation with any man I meet, and then they are interested. So, I guess there is truth in the fact that men are afraid to approach women, or afraid to be rejected?

[quote=Ruth4Truth;34475012]What about all the women who are hoping someone will be friendly?

Well women expect men to play mind-reader. So I won't know this.

In a group setting of random women, don't go for the hottest one. Go for the least hottest one that you are attracted to. If you approach her, the other girls will be jealous and the one you are talking to will be so happy that she is coveted amongst 9s and 10s.

Don't for girls aged 19-30. They already have inflated egos because she knows she is the hot sh t. You will have way more success cold approaching women over 40 because they almost never get attention and will cling onto any attention they get.


Of course you have to look decent. If you are 1/10, it isn't going to work.
Is this in reality, or is this on prime-time TV???

It sounds like somebody's been reading too many blogs again.
Was this poster male? Because I tend to find it's the men who tell us women how we commonly feel. It's kind of how all women dress to get male attention

I think it's ludicrous to go for the "least hottest" one. What kind of crock is that?

This makes me want to approach older women. They don't play games.

Think about it...you are a new hunter learning how to catch a rabbit.


Who do you ask for advice? The lion or the rabbit?

Any guy asking advice from women on how to get women is a fool.

A guy should ask advice from a "seasoned veteran" or a guy who gets lots of girls. Now, I don't get a ton of girls but my views come from experiences, interacting with guys who can easily get a date, etc, this is the advice.

I can imagine it is pretty annoying to get approached constantly. Where is a good place to "bother" women then?

I find that it can differ with the location. In some places the women just seem more approachable on average. Strangely enough, the women of NYC seemed much more open to being approached than the ones here in Atlanta. They also seemed more likely to do the approaching or at least to make more of an effort to signal their interest so that a guy might approach them. Atlanta women act totally different to me and aren't nearly as direct. I used to mistake that for being stuck up which isn't always the case.
Most women are not receptive to being approached. Besides I don't even bother women when I'm in public.

Most of my "relationships" have been through 1st and 2nd degrees of separation in my social circles.

I'd say maybe 10% of the women I've gone out with are randoms. And it wasn't really cold approaching, we'd have been talking for a few hours by the time we exchanged info.

That's fine if you like hanging around a petty, jealous crowd. Different strokes for different folks.
