Means you are physically attractive. I wouldn't do it to a woman (when single) unless thats the case. Not rocket science.

This is all taking place while looking like sh*t too. No suit, no casual "fluff and puff"... no nothing! Dirty, sweaty, might not have shaved for a few days etc.. Top that one studs!

I haven't observed this much in real life, but it's not surprising. My sister who is pretty attractive said she used to get like asked out by random guys, it was a real eye-opener.

Totally random is even more strange. At least I'm there for some time and they called us first. They've seen me around too. I've been there for many years. Walking up to someone that is the first time you ever saw them is sorta on the creepy side if you are a woman. How would you like your wife to get hit on everytime she leaves the house? Most wouldn't like it. Think about that before you turds go around hitting cold.

Yeah I know, what the...I wouldn't dare just approach a woman and ask her out, who would say yes?

Of course in a perfect world that might work haha.

My glory days are over. I think after 30 years old, for most guys - women just don't come up to you and hit on you. Maybe I'm wrong, but I have not had a woman just give me that look and then initiate conversation in public, although situations involving alcohol and/or at a bar are different. I'm not even sure if I know at this point what being hit on actuallly means. I assume if a woman starts talking to me that it automatically does not mean she is hitting on me.

Anyway, I do have a secret weapon I unless occasionally. And it is at an off leash dog park near my house. A 9lb, fluffy and very cute dog. Barney the Maltese. When I'm with my wingman, women talk to me all of the time, but I'm not sure if they are hitting on me or just fascinated with my sidekick. It's a great way to meet women though, and I mean seriously, the little tyrant is really cute. Once a woman asks if she can hold him, it's a sign that I have a way in as far as talking to her and women seem really comfortable once they realize I have a Maltese. He's totally hugable too.

So, yeah, the white knight has been responsible for alot of initial introductions but I'm not sure if I'm being hit on if/when a woman talks to me because my dog is a total cuddle buddy and looks cute. I have noticed that guys with pit bulls, labs, boxers, etc that stand around at the dog park do not get nearly as much attention from women as I do with Barney. So maybe on some level, they feel comfortable talking to a guy with a dog like that. Or they just think that I'm gay and will not ask for their number. That dog is a total freak though.

I've never been hit on by anyone, anywhere, ever. Maybe I look mean or something.

Stared at by many (men and women) rarely hit on. If I am hit on, it's by 20 year olds. Flattering, but I'm 35.....

I have noticed that men in general just don't approach women anymore.
