Posted: 11/28/2004 6:36:12 PM | No, Tech, actually, due to it being my day off - I was floating around getting things done around the house today. Too hard? C'mon, I'm not a flake - No need to be sarcatic.
First way, Tech, to not start a conversation with a woman is by incinuating that something may be too difficult for her to comprehend. 
Second, if she from POF, and is off admiring a guy, good for her, support her, that is why she is on this site. ...By the way, yes I was at some point during the day. 
Called a few of my friends and asked them your question, Tech, for variation:
Friend A. "Eyes. A compliment on my eyes always gets to me before a compliment on my boobs or my figure."
Friend B. "The best line I ever had from a guy was at a store and he stopped me and asked me to help him out with a gift for a special woman and I did. He asked me to wait for him while he paid for it and after I did he handed it to me and told me that I was the special woman and that he would love to take me to dinner and then to a comedy club. I accepted!" - They now have been married for 3 years.
Of the 5 friends I called to ask (females aged 29-34) - I like B the best. I agree with her, it shows creativity, thoughtfulness, and genuine interest. It certainly works since they are now married. He did something right! That would get a date with me, for certain. Warms the heart. Better than some cheesy line. A lot of women can see through the smoke. | |

Posted: 11/28/2004 9:14:15 PM | | Not a problem, Tech. It is really complicated "reaching" a woman at first. I am glad that I am not a guy. Us women are fickle and very complicated creatures, without a doubt, but we can sense being approached like you've mistaken us for a skeezer. If you are just looking for a lay - say whatever it is that fits your fancy, she will bite if she just wants that too. If you want more than a lay, I say start off creatively, convey that "new dating/interest" type of feeling in her. Make her feel special - "singled out." Yes, that would be a good way to put it ---"singled out." Drop the macho act (if it applies) - be yourself ---sincere! Life is way too short. | |

Posted: 11/28/2004 10:28:33 PM | I used to work in a roller rink.
I got to pick up women all day long, and get paid for it.
Seriously. If you want to pick up women, go to a place where they're always falling down. | |

Posted: 11/28/2004 10:51:11 PM | | Bubblegum machine rings work! I once had a guy give me a bunch of little girl stuff from the Dollar Store in a big Cinderella bag (fake lipsticks, plastic pink purses, cheezy-cheap stuffed animals etc) . All cute silly stuff. One of the few things that I have honestly adored for the last few years. That was an "anytime" gift. I loved it! | |

Posted: 11/28/2004 10:55:43 PM | | Tay, not shock her into love, lol - but definately separate yourself from others. The guy who gave me all the Dollar store dumped me for some hooch with a really bad boob job, but anyway, beside the point, I can't remember his name, but I will always remember the things he did. | |

Posted: 11/28/2004 11:04:11 PM | Techtroid - My fellow social misfit, girls are scary and are full of the cooties, watch out for their kung fu grip of DOOM tm.
Hypothetical Situation:
Me: ::Walks up to a girl on the street::
Girl: Yuck, what is that horrible smell!?
Me: ::Takes out a gogurt stick (essentially if you don't know it's a type of yogurt for people on the go, in stick form)
Girl: You are vile and require immediate destruction and so on.
Me: This is you and me ::I then proceed to violently squeeze the Gogurt stick, which is acting like a phallic symbol, until it explodes and walk away::
Girl: I must find that man and make sweet angry love to him!
End Scene
So, as per the hypothetical example, getting women is like getting a cold, just touch a lot of door knobs with your hands and you are bound to get something. | |

Posted: 11/29/2004 1:53:11 AM | I have to throw in my 2 cents here. The idea of going out with the intention of hitting on women based on a ratio is nothing new. A friend of mine tried this many years ago. He would simply walk up to women and ask if they would have sex with him. He would most likely tell you the odds of a women even slowing her pace to slap you let alone have a favorable response is in the 500 to 1 (against) area. When he tried it women weren't nearly as defensive as now.
But I have met women while out doing errands and struck up conversations with very positive out comes. These are legitimate chance meetings. What you have described seems more like stalking. I tend to go with the attitude of being open to possiblities, but not having any expectations and let whatever happens, simply happen.
I would request that no body actually go out and hit on every women they see. Women have it tough enough. If you happen to catch a women's eye and she smiles, consider yourself very fortunate and don't mess it up by taking it to mean she wants to jump your bones. If she does want you, believe me she'll make sure you know it. | |

Posted: 11/29/2004 12:32:28 PM | | I believe that to be true to only an extent whereas "if she is interested in you she will let you know it." We women sometimes are not the most receptive either from time to time. A lot of men smile at us, but I cannot imagine it means that every guy wants to get to know us. An attractive guy at Chevron (gas station) smiled at me yesterday, I surely couldn't go up to him and say, "Well hey, there, you are smiling at me, how's it going?" When men just smile at me in passing (ie: at the grocery store, gast station etc), I figure they are just smiling at me. Maybe I look friendly, pretty ---but it doesn't send me the signal to me that they want to actually get to know me. Him following me with his cart from aisle to aisle would. Accidentally bumping my cart when we are the only two people in it would. Smiles, not really. I think it is awesome what you said, and I wish just a smile were the case. That would be so easy! I am generally a smiley and happy person, and everyone in Phoenix seems to be too, lol. But still too many singles. Maybe I should add in wiggling my eyebrows with a wide cheesy smile? LOL | |

Posted: 12/2/2004 5:09:36 AM | notacubiczirconia,
First, I have to say you live in a nice city if a man could follow you around in a grocery store and not get pepper sprayed. If a man bumped a women's cart here in Los Angeles he would be either, shot, arrested or liable for her whiplash. Sadly, that's more true than joke.
If I were to run into you, and you smiled at me..... my heart would start pounding so hard...I'd get this goofy look on my face, and I'd still try to talk to you, as I utter my first words I'd most likely pass out at your feet. Trust me a man who smiles at YOU, wants to get to know you. | |

Posted: 12/2/2004 12:39:03 PM | | Thanks, Steele. Unfortunately, we know in real life, that not too many people approach each other just based on a smile. Wish it were true but its not. People are always on the go, heading to work, maybe grabbing things for the wife (uhg) and need to head back home (assuming that half of them are married here) - getting people to stop and say hi for some conversation is half of the challenge in itself. | |

Posted: 12/2/2004 12:50:27 PM | | yeah i was wondering about that too - whats the point of this whole rush, the whole stress of life if you don't even have the time to talk to a lovely girl on the street or discuss an interesting topic with your neighbour on the bus?? its so dumb.. | |

Posted: 12/2/2004 12:54:21 PM | Being the people-person that I am, if a girl smiles at me I think, "Hey, she seems nice... Why not go annoy the sh!t out of her?" Then we wind up talking, and it usually works out well... usually... | |

Thanks Slash
I was starting to think I was a freak. I talk to people all the time, everyday. I'm not saying I meet women to date everyday but I talk to men and women in passing and in line at the check out or at the gas pump. I even talk to people at traffic lights. (although that's usually a women in a convertable and I'm on a motorcycle) Here's the big shock I don't start the conversations most of the time.
cubic,
I'd stop in the middle of a freeway if you smiled at me. | |
