Yes, if you're a kid.
From an adult, it sounds pathetic

I miss when men were actually brave enough to go up to a woman in public. But I also agree that the approach needs to be respectful.

b/c it's sounds childish. Like someone said earlier in this thread, it's kind of strange for a grown person to refer to 'practicing a day game' in reference to grown women....I didn't even know what that meant until I read the OP.

Well I think it's strange and childish that women paint their faces every day, but somehow we're all conditioned to believe that it's a normal, adult thing to do.

Either way I don't find your logic compelling. You just repeated what he said, that it "sounds" some way, that is, it makes you "feel" some way when you hear the word "Game". I already knew that. I'm hoping someone with a little bit of self-awareness can explain to me why it makes them feel such-and-such way.

I don't paint my face everyday, I don't wear make up, so much for that. Unfortunately men do not pay much attention to women that don't "paint their faces every day." So talk to them about that one.

You don't have to find my logic convincing or compelling, you asked WHY and I told you why; it's childish and also as it's been explained if you bother reading previous to my answer it's somewhat dehumanizing/objectifying. If you want to refer to dating as "practicing game" on a person then that's your buisness. No reason to insult my 'self awareness' simply because you didn't like the answer.

You have seen numerous women here say they didn't think it sounded becoming to refer to women & dating them as 'practicing a day game.' I have a feeling no matter what answer you get, if it conflicts with what you want to hear it's going to be a problem. So good luck with that.

How do you figure that it is "Dehumanizing" , to hit on women during the daytime? Some other woman called it "Objectifying."

This obviously pushes y'all's buttons, which is just baffling to me.

It's baffling to you because you don't wish to understand it. To me it's common sense that the way it sounds: "practicing a day game" makes it seem like the women are just numbers and games to men (which I already think you think anyways but that's besides the point). But I am going to leave this to you to ponder since it's so difficult and bid you adieu.

That's OK. Some of us are fine with being "dehumanized"!
