I rarely see any specializing in any of the markets I go to.
Don't let that stop you! At least you can chat with people in the check-out line. That's just being a good neighbor, where I come from. it's just natural. Nobody's "busy" in the check-out line. Everyone's just standing there, waiting. It helps pass the time to make small talk. And you never know where it might lead.
Because it's creepy that's why. I wouldn't even approach a woman in the store either.
I guess I'm just not accepting "creepy" as an answer. That's fine, you can meet women however you like. Just know that this option is always right in front of you.
Are you sure? I think guys don't recognize some of the subtle moves some women make to get noticed. Like Jade said, some women "orbit" and make a point of catching the guy's eye. So if he makes a move, does that mean he got the ball rolling, or she did? I've seen talk shows where the audience was asked who made the first move, who got things going, and at least half the guys said their SO did. I think this is worth doing a study. The results could be interesting.
Honestly, I bet a huge portion of it can be attributed to heavy porn usage. An entire generation of young men stunted by fapping away to a computer monitor all day.
And do you think this kills their drive to approach real women? Could you elaborate?

I notice these things, the place where I mainly developed/improved taught me cues like this. And to answer you question, he technically did. She was giving him indicators of interest. If he hadn't made a move, then nothing would have happened. She basically set the ball down, all he had to do was kick it.

There's talk shows like this? I'm a little interested. I personally like exercising and challenging my skills.

Well, I'm taking a break and just gonna be single for a while. Just stopped dating someone.

I think that's some of it, but I think there's also something much deeper going on. Fear of being unable to perform with a real, living, breathing partner. An inferiority complex that sets in by partaking in a voyeuristic activity all the time. I don't think it's healthy or natural to habitually expose yourself to such material. Admittedly, most of my thoughts on this are anecdotal based on what I've read here of all places, but I'm definitely seeing a trend and it's not getting near enough attention IMO.

True. to your first point. But setting the ball down is still a move.
Well, you know how talk shows are; the topic can be anything on any given day, so it's hit-and-miss.

Yes it can. My friends watch porn a lot. If a woman is wearing yoga pants or tights that show off her butt, they don't feel anything towards her at all. Porn can kill a man's desire for a real woman.
