No. I don't like cold approaches. I have had those. If he's hot as hell, that's great. but I need to at least have a staring convo. it doesn't need to be an interview, just some nice small talk first, as a bit of an icebreaker, asking to meet somewhere, like for ice-cream, coffee, or something small, then chat a bit more..

But just coming up with "Can I have our number?" Just seems like lack of social graces and game.

I don't care how "fictionally" handsome he is.

If I don't know them, they aren't getting anything from me.

@Wmsn, Nah thats just what my pitiable life revolver around.
I start the morning off by hiting the gym, then exfoliate- full skin care routine, trim unwanted hair, take a shower, do facial yoga for 10 minutes, a scalp massage for 5 minutes, hand stand to promotf blood flow to sculp, style hair, get dressed and head out.
i repeat facial yoga during lunch and before i sleep.
Im male but keep a make-up compact with me all the time. Im hetero so keep a slightly rugged profile with styled stubble.

P.s. You'll be suprised at how many male models date objectively down.
Definitely interesting. If you don't mind elaborating. I want to know more about this.

Whatever works for you!

I would not hand over my number regardless of his aesthetic. I read inside the book, not just the cover.

Now, lets assume you are walking down the street and see a man with 10/10 aesthetics. A face sculpted by the gods in the form of Adonis. An ethereal beauty who is handsomer than anything youve ever seen.
he makes his way to you and looks you in the eyes, his gaze caressing you tenderly and he asks in a deep soulful bass-baritone, 'hi, can I have your number?"
how do you react?
WTF.

So you ask the question and assume everyone's answer in no before we have the opportunity to speak then assume we would if the guy was hot.

If you are the dude that a big H E L L NO!

@Halfamazing, people have defensive mechanisms socially as well. I've theorized about it quite some bit. Any deviation from the norm for good or bad arouses suspicion, unease etc. In people. Tending along the generic but being above average is ideal in most things.
There are alot of subsidiary issues as well. Women are reluctant to date men better looking than them - conforming to traditional roles- the odd hypergamous women will bite.
stereotypes of infidelity play a part.
hence guys like simon nessman -google- date down. It may be prefence or personality for all i know.

Yes. That's how people used to get dates, although there was more chitchat before giving said phøne number.

This is how dating was back in the Stone Age. You meet someone cute and chit chat for a few minutes before exchanging numbers. ( usually on a napkin or arm)

Then they called you and you talked for awhile before deciding if you wanted to go on a date. ( not coffee or happy hour)

If you weren't home, they left a message on your machine and you called them back.

@2mares, my assumption is correct for 90% of people. Is it not?
