For instance, my dad approached my mom at the beach simply because they were parked next to each other.

How receptive would a woman be today if the same situation were to occur? As a man would you try to strike up a convo with a woman that wound up being near your vicinity at such a place or event? Be it a concert, beach, or public situation?
I used to have guys ask me my horoscope sign and try to engage me in conversations about astrology, which did nothing for me. I must have come across as more "New Agey" than I am. I don't think any men do that anymore.

"Miss Annie, may I carry your school books home?"


"Mr. Jones, may I have the honor of asking your daughter if she would like to dance?"

“Would you like to go out on a date. Maybe dinner and a movie?”

At the end of the night not to expect to be invited in for sex. Just a kiss at the door?

Wouldnt think this whole think would work today. Lol!

Chances are she was probably drunk. lol So I wouldn't break my arm patting myself on the back over some muscles.

I've seen women flash groups of dudes, fat, skinny, musclar, all body types. They do it for the attention and because it's a cruise and because it's fun. Ever been to Mardi Gras? Same situation. Of course they do it "for the beads" ;-)

I didn't give the whole story, as I didn't expect it to be controversial or anything. Group of flirtatiously girls talking to husband and brother in law, asked them to join them, men declined, woman flashed boobs at DH.

I have no idea if the women were married, DH and BIL did nothing wrong.

DH certainly wasn't patting himself on the back, but it DID make him feel good, and I think it would for a large section of the male population.

YMMV

Yeah, but you're some how forming a connection muscles to boob flashing.When I first read that, I was like "What's that got to do with the price of tea in China?"

Huh. You saying you don't agree that guys with muscles are more attractive than over weight or skinny?

DH gets many more women hitting on him when he is in shape, than when he was injured (2 years of no work outs).

That seems so much of a no brainer that I'm baffled at your comments.

It applies to both sexes.

Some men don't approach women in public cause the rate of rejection is too high so they don't bother.

Most of my relationships came from the woman approaching me. My wife asked me out and she knew I didn't approach women especially if I didn't know them. So she asked me to lunch and the rest was history.

What's off putting now? Who knows.. Not something I worry about

Because most are just hooking up.

This is old school.
