Since I'm in college, I pretty much use that as a conversation starter with any female classmates I'm interested in. For example: what do you think of the class?/teacher? Or what major are you studying?...etc. Essentially, like a previous poster mentioned, using the environment to my advantage.

How about using terms like "ladies" or "women" from here on out for threads like these okay guys? You dont have to worry about your "hip hop street cred" here, so just use proper english please.
Seriously, who cares? He also used the term "male." Not everything is an affront to your gender.

Inquiring minds need to know.

Absolutely! As soon as you start quoting the bible in the grocery store line, it makes me want to hurry and pull up the bible app on my phone. I am a black woman, so when I an not running errands, I go to bible study, church mixers, and small group. I try to spend 5-6 days per week at church.


Don't forget to drop hints about the "exotic" accessories/furniture/decor you have picked up during your adventure travels. Then you get to kill two birds with one stone: travel and interior design. 3 if you talk about your spiritual awakening at the yoga retreat or buddhist temple. So you can appeal to our spiritual side.

Sign me up now! Gosh, why don't people say this stuff to me. I am so crushed!
5-6 days a week at church doing what?

Well I saw a guy jerk off in the pews once. But I'm sure his was an isolated case.

You realize I was being sarcastic right.
There were too many stereotypes in that post for me not to be facetious.

I am on my phone, please forgive the typos.

Actually, I have to agree with calicali on this; roller skating is a great way to meet people! Very friendly atmosphere at these places!

Anyway, I was wondering what women specifically are receptive to as far as starting lines. I have personally toyed with the idea of questions like: "What's your political preference?" because I think it would yield an intellectual discussion. While some people think its a personal topic I really don't think it has to be. The reason I would use an approach like this is because I am not a big fan of small talk, which to me is monotonous.
What are your thoughts as to what an appropriate approach would be? Thanks.
When men ask, "how do I approach women?" what they often really want to know is, "how to I start up a conversation with a total stranger in a totally random location and quickly convince her to want to have sex with me?"

The answer is: that is just REALLY hard. For most men, it is probably impossible.

My point is that you need to stop thinking about the perfect topic and instead pay more attention to context. If you want to "approach" women, you need to do it in venues where that kind of behavior is expected and appropriate. Approaching a random woman with a clever line at a dance club might spark some interest from her; doing the same to a woman in a laundromat would probably just creep her out.
