If he's desperate enough, those girls you posted would look like great options in his eyes because chances are he is.

He doesn't have to be desperate. They ARE his fair matches and the sooner he gets it, the easier his life would be.

I want to be a lady of independent means who lives on a yacht in the Mediterranean, too, but that's not about to happen.

If they say they don't have time now, you ask them to do it some other time and voilà!

However, the approach works if you have certain personality and aura... It's not really something everybody can pull off and those who ask such questions usually can't pull it off, unfortunately. It doesn't hurt to try, though. It may not work the first time, it may not work the second time, but eventually it will work on somebody. As it's pretty damn easy, what do you have to lose?

Damn, I could have all the chicks if I were a dude, if even I say so!

Works


Doesn't work.

"Hi, would you like to have sex"

Works one time out of about 30

That would take a lot of nerve.

I highly doubt the odds are that high here in America!

I imagine if this was tried at a bar around here you would have a few drinks thrown in your face.

I was just being funny have no idea what the success ratio would be.

Did happen to me as a teenager at the beach. Two girls walked up to us and asked if we wanted to have sex, true story. We turned them down.

Yes, that's right...be good looking. That's usually the only time cold approaches are successful. If good looking, you can pretty much walk up to almost any chick and they'll be receptive to just about anything you say.
Thats kind of a tough one to pull off, If you dont have much going for you in the looks department. But working with what you have. Dressing nice and being well groomed will always give you a good first impression, even if you say the wrong thing.

This is probably good advice. Some guys have this innate ability and some of us don't. Small talk is not my specialty either so the cold approach just doesn't work for me.

I don't have a problem with people randomly striking up conversation with me. Though I do notice a common pattern amongst them: they tend to go on and on and on about themselves and their problems or accomplishments, they ignore the cardinal rule of conversation: it's a two-way street. No matter how interesting a person is, I would prefer if the conversation is as much about me as it is about him, and that he would end the conversation at some point.
