Damn guess some must think I'm weird live 2 mins walk from shops will often leave the car at home and give the legs a stretch.

I don't even have a car and will often go for long walks with one (or more) of my cameras (since one of my hobbies is photography). A 33 year old man walking alone taking pictures gets more dirty looks than you can imagine, even if he's just taking pictures of scenery.

That seems to be true. One of my single friends (who happens to have a dog) swears by the dog parks. He said that it's easy to meet women there.

Yup, definitely looks sketchy. :P

Do you draw? Maybe the sketchpad is better.

I think since most people don't smoke anymore they don't have that built-in "do you have a light?" icebreaker. Now they have to bring in small animals to seal the deal.

He shouldn't let people's paranoid suspicions stop him from enjoying photography.

How about, 'nice day we're having here, isn't it?' The weather is always an ice-breaker.

In US of A, it is completely legal to take pictures of anything or anyone as long as the photographer is in a public place. THis means i can go on a city street, and zoom into your backyward and take 2000 pictures if i want to. No one who likes photography should ever worry about dirty looks or people being unhappy about their picture taken in public, becasue if they do - they make it only harder for all the other photographers out there. Ive had CHicago Police try to deny me my right to take pictures in public and i basicaly told them to **** off and look up the laws and gave them my lawyers name and number. I know, i carry my camera with me everywhere.

It's called an ice-breaker...just a way to get a foot in the door, not the main event.
