Wow, that's mind blowing. I don't even see that.

The other key is to do new things. If you get into a routine and that routine does not result in meeting women, doing the same thing over and over again will lead to the same results. A big key is getting out of the house and into public places. I used to meet women all the time walking my dogs, and even when I was married and wearing a ring I would have women at the park chat me up and occasionally ask me out. I am not a great looking guy or anything, I am just friendly and able to hold a conversation. I don't see why anyone couldn't meet people this way.
Dog parks seem to work remarkably well for meeting the opposite sex.

Proof yet again that women will approach and do the asking-out when they see someone they're interested in.

Socially-challenged guys force women to put on the scary face. We don't like it, but we have to in order to get anything done.

The idea that there are going to be guys put there who think even THAT is not enough, and who require even more severe measures -- all so I can get my groceries in peace -- really sucks b*lls. What am I supposed to do, open-carry a 45?

You can

Not make eye contact with strange men

Don't say hello with a smile if you are approached

Lovely term - "bitchface". I wear an almost perpetual male version of bitchface, and absolutely hate smiling. To me, Bitchface bespeaks seriousness and having things to do. Adult men wear bitchface. Children and imbeciles smile. Unfortunately, in modern American society, such a visage is interpreted as conveying, "I'm a conceited jerk; even if I have plenty to offer in principle, in practice my aims are purely self-centered."

Like I said, that works with guys who have normal social skills. Unfortunately, there is a huge sector of the population who do not.

IME, that's midwestern-culture thing. In the places I have mostly lived, it's viewed as a sign of emotional issues -- depression, repressed anger, stuff like that.

Culture clash alert! Poster is originally from Russia. It's funny; I had some friends visiting from Russia, and they were constantly complaining about all the smiling faces they saw around them here. It made me realize how in the US, we use smiles as a way to communicate any number of things. A smile can mean anything from "Welcome to my restaurant, make yourself at home" (on the part of the owner/manager), to "I'm sorry I almost ran into you with (grocery cart, bicycle, stroller, etc.)". Some people smile just because they're having a good day and are enjoying the weather and a day off from work.

But there's also cultural conditioning: women in our culture are constantly told to smile because it makes them more attractive.

Well if you are that attractive then it's really nothing you can do

My mind is made up. I'm getting a dog.
