Girls, do you like to be approach by strangers?

Try this,
Walk over to a girl and say
You "Hey, do you have a minute, I want to show you something really cool"
Girl "yes"
You "First, what is your favorite flower?"
Girl "Roses"
You "Ok, (put your hands behind your back, after 10 seconds put your hands in front of you, both hands closed)
You "Pick a hand"
Girl (picks one of your hands).
You (Take your hand and ask her to hold out her hand, rub your hand over hers like your doing some magic trick.)
You "Open your hand and look at her"
You smile and say "Wouldn't that of been cool if something actually appeared?
Girl (might laugh)
You "what is your name"
Girl "Amanda"
You "my name is bob the great" (something that sounds like your a magician but obviously your not.
You "let me have your number so I can try to persuade you to have a drink with me"
Try to smile a lot and keep strong eye contact. The point of this is to be funny, have some physical hand contact, and show your personality. It takes less than 2-3 minutes and if the girl is interested than she will give you her number, if she isn't than you only wasted a few minutes. Also, on the first date make sure to bring her a rose or whatever her favorite flower was. That will pretty much seal the deal.
And this has actually worked for you? If so then I need to move to America because they're seduced by this?!?!?! No offence mate but if I were a girl I'd be put off by this, your trying far to hard. Fair enough it's charming, comical and confident but you've just performed a magic trick... that was never going to be a magic trick... just so you can get a girls number... It shows you've planned this and chances are you've tried it on 100 other women just to get thier number. Can you see my point?
You guys make picking up girls so difficult, it really isn't hard. Girls are happy that some guys even talk to them. If you have looks and your handsome than you already will be allowed 3 minutes to prove yourself. I will never spend more than 3 minutes talking to a girl, I will get their number after 3 min and spend the first date getting to know her. This "gimick" works for me because I am a good looking guy, I don't come off as creepy, however I agree with you markml.
If you look weird a girl will definitely spray you with mace. They might not always agree with what I am about to say but I feel girls judge guys on their looks. Definitely if your just a random guy who just wants to approach a girl on the street.
Nice idea :D
It's all about how you approach. If you've been rejected numerous times and only gotten one or two dates, maybe its time to try a new approach. Ever heard the definition of insanity? "Doing the same thing over and over again but expecting different results." Not gonna happen. Doesn't matter how many times you try to get orange juice from a goat, it's always gonna be milk. Really nasty goat milk...
It could be as simple as changing the tone of your voice. Don't yell at her... but project your voice and be clear.
SMILE.
Not like a murderer, but like you're playing with puppies.
The best way to NOT creep a girl out is to approach her when she's with other girl friends. That way, she feels safe because she has back up to kick you in the nuts and gouge your eyes out if need be, PLUS you impress her with your confidence to aproach a whole group all by yourself. It also works to your advantage because, if her friends think you're cool, they may talk to you too, which makes it easier to keep the conversation going. And if she's not interested, maybe one of her friends is. Which means you could get more than one chance from just one approach. Cha-Ching!
Not usually...
I mean, it would be a bit weird for me. Probably because I spent a lot of my young life growing up in conservative countries, which meant random contact from strangers is a sure recipe for possible trouble and a dangerous situation.
I would consider meeting strangers if I grew up in a different country.
But remember: appearance is key to a good first impression. Obviously no running around looking like a drunk street bum asking for numbers. That will be sure to scare off anybody. So dress well, smell okay, be polite, be witty, be down to earth and try not to be too old for the girls you're looking for, haha. (As you said, if you already act like a gentleman, that shouldn't be too big of a problem.) And you don't have to be as attractive as a bronzed underwear model, but you have to be charming in some aspect, something that will hook the girl you're looking for and make her stay. Don't follow her around either. If she wants you, she'll be comfortable around you and not on the verge of fleeing to the nearest exit.
Good luck ;D
If you are a gentleman, then the world needs more guys like you.
I hate being hit on by random guys and I will avoid it as much as possible. It scares me so much when I am hit on that I have to leave or find someone capable of sending away whoever is bothering me.
1. It's only for my appearance or body. I don't value appearances and I want to be seen for my personality.
2. I am scared that they will assault me, sexually or being mugged. It's really not safe with people you don't know. I've been in situations when a guy would not leave me alone and kept telling me to come get drunk with him, almost grabbing me to force me into his vehicle, and I needed to call police.
It really depends on the environment too, but I hate being approached by guys I don't know them because you never know what they are capable of doing to you.
Any guy who has ever randomly approached me has never been on a date with me. I implicitly assume that if they go out on a limb to ask out someone they have only seen in three seconds- 1) they have poor judgement 2)they are only interested in my looks 3)they are desperate.
This is because I would never do that. Personality is so much more important than a brief encounter. If a guy just asked me a few questions and then went for the number it would be a resounding no. However, if we developed rapport through conversation and he asked me out to coffee (in the daylight/surrounded by other people), I might reconsider. It all depends on how safe a woman feels with you, the random stranger.
To be honest, the best way to meet people is through mutual friends. Expand your social ciricle =expanding your potential pool of dates.
Women aren't afraid of men -as I said, I wouldn't shut him down completely. People in general, guys included are socialized into being wary of strangers.
Since the age of twelve I've been groped by random guys on the street/clubs, catcalled, random strangers have called me a slut for no reason - this is not to say I wouldn't give a stranger a chance- after all, all my guy friends were strangers once!

No they don't, the first time that comes to their mind is CREEP!. The only way that this may work is if she smiles at you, if she doesn't forget it. Second of all approached them in a "safe" environment, by that I mean in an environement when she expects people to be safe for instance: School, library, clubs, work, friend's of a friend and so on and so forth.
When you approach them don't use tricks and pick up lines, they are reatarded. Just ask them questions or something related that affects both of you, talk about her and never ever be sexually assertive, unless you are given them a nice compliment which I highly recommend.
PS: COntrary to belief beautiful women do not get approached as much as you will think that they do, because must men place them in a pedestal and think she is too god for them.
Um I would be creeped out kinda. He could get a gun out and shoot the f***ing juice out of my brains... I mean I would rather be approached in a different way. Depends on how you approah me. If you werent a fat hobo who has bad teeth then I wouldn't be creeped out at all and if you were attractive I probably wouldn't reject you..Actually, as I was driving to the mall last August this taxi man was like, "What can I do to get a beautiful woman like you?" and I was all like, "YOU HOBO GO AWAY! :("
But I said it inside my head so nobody heard me.
Then I wouldn't be creeped out. :)
lol I think a lot of girls get creeped out by the stranger distance approach.
Only if I would be interested in the guy. What guys should do to make approaching women more successful, is wait until they get green lights from the girl they wanna approach. Don't just walk up to the first pretty girl you see just because you're attracted to her and hope your approach works. No, screen women to have the best success rate. For example, a pretty girl that keeps making eye contact with you, smiling is way more open and receptive to being approached than the girl you had to interrupt to get her attention. For example, if I look at a guy, but don't look at him again and I treat him no differently than I am treating to everyone else in the steet, I'm most likely not interested and wouldn't be open to dating him if he approached me.
No.
Do you want to be approached by a gay/bisexual who wants sex from you?
Gentleman or not you are a man and you do want sex.
You may be nice but sex is still the goal and the sole reason you approached.
That's not a bad thing but don't try to deny it.
Everyone except asexuals want sex.
Not at all.
I already but that everyone except asexuals want sex.
I'm stating that most women don't like being approached because no matter how polite you are the question is still can I f*ck you?
And unless the guy is really hot the answer is usually no.
Most people who don't like ego trips don't want to have to deal with this hassle.
By getting to know them before asking them out.
Social groups, fan communities, hobby/interest clubs.
That actually works in your favor because instead of a snap judgement based on your looks personality is now taken in first.
Always show that you're sexually attracted to her i.e. flirt , tease & touch.
Not unless the guy is really good looking (bf material) or interesting (friend material).
and interesting?
Then a friend
I already said hot = boyfriend material
Yes I am.
But boy you sound shallow people should only date in their leagues?
Funny how no ugly/average/fat guy thinks that.
First of all, I consider myself attractive. I have no acne in my face. I don't have a big nose. Next, I am not fat; I weight 188lbs and I am 6'1''. The reason I call myself average is becasue I am humble and I don't go around saying that I am hot. you are the one that started to talk about physical appearance, not me.
I see many beautiful women = you started it
I thought these beautiful chicks didn't want sex with some less attractive stranger.
Having clear skin, no big nose, and being a decent weight doesn't make you attractive it makes you average.
Attractiveness is how pleasant your face is & how hot your body is. Which differ from person to person.
Humble is not self depreciating.
Humble is knowing that no matter how whatever you there is always someone better.
That doesn't make a face pleasant.
What about facial symmetry?
Attractive eyes?
Cute mouth?
Fat cheeks?
Big forehead?
Big jaw?
Double fhin?
Big ears?
Small ears?
Ears that stick out?
In shape = fit
Well built = muscles
Are you really?
I shouldn't have to wear a sign.
Men have the ability to approach me not the right.
So get an equally attractive girl.
Approach her in a social setting not during her day to day errands or in the gym.
Establish you're not crazy or a threat.
Be funny, charming, flirty.
Provide interesting conversation. Talk to more people to practice this.
You're in.
For some reason everyone thinks that because I don't sugarcoat things.
What's idiotic about not wanting to be pestered by guys?
Yes I'm single because I want to be.
ouch. :(
girls always try to make us out to be the horn dogs. I've caught TWO of my friends who are girls watching p*rn, and my guys friends an I don't watch p*rn (it was fun when we were stupid in middle school, not its just awful).
from your comments you are saying that you just want a hot guy? doesn't that mean you are looking for sex as well? you shouldn't have too much of an issue then with random people coming up to you asking you out.
@DamieWimie
Ouch on what? It's the truth you may be nice but sex is still the goal and the sole reason you approached.
What does p*rn have to do with anything I already stated everyone except asexual want sex.
lol at the logic fail.
I am saying that I don't like being approached by guys because no matter how polite you are the question is still can I f*ck you?
And unless the guy is really hot the answer is no.
I am want sex but that mean I want it from anyone so yes I have an issue with being pestered by random guys coming up because they want to f*ck me since I have no interest in doing so.
Do you want to be approached by a gay/bisexual who wants sex from you?
Elliot rodger would've liked you lol
Shallow as hell as well you're the kind of girl that i wouldn't approach no matter how attractive you are that personality needs a recheck.
And you're using gay/bi-sexual as an example that is ridiculous. Of course I'm going to refuse I'm straight and you're rejecting guy's because they're not good-looking please rejecting somebody because of sexual orientation is way different thsn rejecting someone who is not good-looking dumby.
depends on the guy... normally I'm creeped out because they try to hit on me in creepy ways. i.e. I was walking into a store and a guy in an oversized t rode by on a bike and said hey baby.
that was creepy because I was alone and he was creepy looking. All depends on the situation.
depends how you approached me. For instance, if I was shopping, we made eye contact and both smiled and then you struck up a conversation w/me, id respond favorably, and depending on your impression, no I wouldn't reject you.
No, girls don't like to be approached by strange men. Because you don't just trust complete strangers, especially of they act like a gentleman, because gentlemen usually end up being psycho maniacs, not that you are.
Just stop trying to get with strange women.
What do you mean by "public"? If you mean a bar or club, then you really need to work on your pick up skills. If you mean the streets...well, don't do it because girls think those guys are creepy. Personally, I will only go on a date with someone I know. He doesn't have to be a mutual friend but at least I know who he is.
The answer is YES and NO. I love being approached by people because I like friendly people and enjoy conversation with strangers. But I 99% of the time I would not go on a date just after meeting someone. It would have to be a looong and amazing conversation. Or if you see each other frequently, like most mornings you both take the 7:30 bus or something. It's just because as much as I enjoy being approached, I don't trust people that easily. Sure, odds are it's a normal guy but you don't want to get yourself into any trouble.
Ya, it depends on the setting too. If you meet someone at a bar or at a party they're more inclined to being friendly. Partially because of the drinks, but also because it's a social setting. You're expecting to converse and maybe meet people. I was picturing going up to people on the street, I'm not sure that's what you meant though.
If I find him attractive yes, if he seems fun yes, if he is much older no, if he isn't my type no, if he looks like a weirdo no...also depends on my mood too...
I would say keep doing it but make her laugh right away otherwise she would be interested if you are not that good looking...
The good thing would be first look at her and smile and see her reaction as you can notice if she finds you interesting or not...
honestly its always nice to have a guy come up to you and throw you a quick line like, you're very pretty and whatnot. but if you can tell the girl wants to run away, just say have a nice day...and don't be creepy. but yes, its always nice to talk to a stranger cause you just never know
It depends on the strangers. Gnerally I like meeting new people and being approached by them. But some guys are really aggressive and pervert. I've been approached by guys who touch me and groap me... but even if they are nice, who knows what's going in their head? Anybody wants to meet Jack the Ripper?
I thumbed up the "yes and no" answer. I'm really suspicious of guys that approach me in the street; blame it on your fellow approachers who have been witless jerks. True connections generally develop over time.
Having said all that, it's not impossible to chat up a random pretty girl and then find out you're a perfect match. You have to start a connection somewhere. Maybe she's not as random as you think.
I give props to nice guys for having the courage to approach in the street; please don't misunderstand me. I'm a super friendly alpha female, but I don't look alpha. Most of the guys who've approached me have been overly aggressive, often with no conversation skills. Confidence is great but it's a problem if it clashes with mine. I guess the girls who wish more guys approached are more shy, insecure, or just traditional.
True enough. I'm just sharing my experience as to why some women may not like it, and attempting to respond to flash125's saying he doesn't get it. I don't dare speak for all women. :)
yeah I don't mind it it flatters me but I automatically deny cause I don't know the person, he could be a sex-offender for all I know, especially when they stare at boobs/butt... yeah not a chance lol. unless I know you
i wouldn't do it unless I have at least 4-5 friends with me and 1 or 2 friends with him, that way it would be wayy les awkward and dangerous for my safety lol
We usually don't agree to dates with men we don't know. Even if you seem like the nicest guy in the world, you still could be a rapist for all we know.
However, even if we don't respond how you want us too (or even if we are kind of harsh), we always find it flattering. When we get approached we feel more beautiful.
So, don't worry about women not always responding in the best way. It's not like you'll see them ever again anyway.
Then go ahead and approach them. Even if you don't get a date out of it, you brightened some lady's day. And, you never know, you could find someone really amazing who is single :)
It's not the fact that you're a stranger, it's just that we don't know you as a person, what kind of guy you're and stuff. Specially because there's lot of cazy people out there, it feels better if you have friends in common.
not at all. I find it a little weird. the first thing they notice is my looks, and that's the whole reason they are aproaching me. I want to be with someone who likes me for the real me, and no how beautiful I am.
So warm only approaches for you? In cold approaches the man is, of course, going to notice your looks first, what else does he have to go on? That doesn't mean he is only after you for your body or for sex, it just means he might be interested in getting to know you better by dating you.
I don't really cold approach. I might make a situational or environmental comment to someone (man or woman) just to be friendly. If the conversation lasts a while, and I can tell we get along, then maybe I'd ask her on a date to see if there is interest (if I could work up the damn nerve).
Most guys who approach and immediately ask for a date or a number aren't going to be successful. They need a way to hold a conversation to see what you are about first. The "I saw you over there and you are so cute, I had to approach, my name is X" and then a few minutes later, "well I would like to take you out on a date", is kind of a rushed interaction.
I am also assuming those quick interactions are what PUAs consider part of the numbers game, to have multiple dates, to find out who is the right one to have a relationship with. Realistically the more dates you go on, the more chances you have of finding the right one.
Honestly, I would be really flattered, and I would definitely consider dating him. I've never been approached by anyone, so it would be a big surprise for me! haha
you gotta be funny or do something to stand out because they get approached 28374928374 times a day if they are really good looking.
tell me if this sounds like you:
"hi I'm _____. wonderful weather we're having isn't it?"
eh that's still really f***ing boring. she was probably thinking
"wow this guy is a whiny little bitch and he probably works at the mcdonald's since he's complaining about paying $3 for milk."
i mean anything would have been better to talk about than the f***ing price of milk. you would have probably had better chances by asking her if she could spare some milk from her boobies for you. or at least gotten a slap out of it and then threatened her with legal action. probably not tho.
it depends on the situation but always go for something funny. don't be afraid to look stupid either because it really doesn't matter. I always always always have a girl laughing within the first 30 seconds if I choose to talk to her.
example:
start walking next to a random girl and when she looks at you weird be like
"have you ever walked with a more sexy man?" or
"are you mad that I'm walking next to you because everyone is checking me out and not you?"
these are ballsy tho.
For the record, girls do not get approached 28374928374 times a day. I know tons of "beautiful" girls and they hardly ever get approached by a guy.
usually really facially beautiful women are very very few...perhaps you'll looking their their bodies and you got so attracted to their bodies that made you think they "are" beautiful?
There is a difference between body-beautiful and facially-beautiful:)
If he's really really really cute. But even then no so much. I like to ad least know the person a little bit, or through a friend before anything like that happens.
(Don't trust people very much.)
