Do guys really need liquid courage to talk to a girl they like?

[Anonymous]

Is it the only way you could talk to her?

[StraightButBent]

No. I'm from Texas and talking to women is so easy cuz they all love a man that can dance. And that's all there is to it. Ladies don't like a man who's unsure of himself. Confidence is key but even if you aren't confident just fake it til you make it. You can only wind up looking like a jackass and be embarrassed for a bit but don't let it hurt your pride. The clock keeps tickin and she isn't be the last one by a long shot. Stand tall and stay out your feelings when thing don't go through. Nut up or shut up. Never pulling the trigger makes for one boring life of what ifs and loneliness. If you can do it once, just once, and realize it ain't the end of the world you might learn something and grow a bit. Lol, I'm ranting. But if this guy you like just won't talk to you he might need a little nudge. Text him or something and say "You know you don't need to be scared. I don't bite." Or some playful bullshit and hopefully he acts like he's got a pair and takes the fucking hint. Or even give him a compliment. I've had girls that were so gorgeous it was slightly intimidating but I always would get "you have beautiful eyes, you know that" and I was immediately untouchable.

It lowers people's inhibitions. Approaching a girl can be really difficult for a lot of guys, probably most. But most are able to do it without alcohol.

I've never met a guy who "needed" it to approach a girl he liked, but it might help some. However I have met guys who needed it for pick-ups at meat market kind of clubs.

For some people it has the opposite effect. Some people become more introverted and quiet when they drink.

[AshleyMadison00]

Should not be the only way to pick up a chic that mean he gots a problem.
Now if u out with friends loosen up yes have a drink and turn up

[SexyAshh]

I don't know if they do but i know i do

“guy wise”

[coachTanthony]

A couple of liquid pork chops can definitely help but if you go too far you will come off as a drunk.

So... be careful using it as a crutch!

[Coffeaddict86]

No they can also take good calcium vitamins too kept themselves relaxed😊oof that heathier. And don't forget they have to be brave to ask but being relaxed helps so much😊 nutrilite brand calcium oof kicks my ass almost knocks me out cold better than beer.

[SomeGuyCalledTom]

A stiff drink or two can help steady the nerves. It shouldn't be "needed" per se, and it's easy to overdo it. But in moderation I see no harm in it. But if a guy feels need to get plastered just so he can numb himself enough to be able to approach a girl, then that's a sign he's got work to do on himself first.

[cth96190]

It depends upon the male, whether ot not he has a drink, but a rational consideration of the facts would show that an intoxicant that inhibited cognitive function would be a bad idea.
Males who resort to alcohol are being influenced by fear of rejection.
My advice is to stop caring.
No woman is worth a second of anxiety, or disappointment.

[brightphase]

Guys need a strong liking. The approach would be proportional to the liking.
A guy need to know that a no from the girl need to be accepted as much as the expected yes to be.

Dont fear about yes or no.. just go for it.

Strategy is.. expect 90 percent chances of no.
10 percent yes..
You would lead a happy life.. haha

[Prof_Don]

Some seriously do! It may not be necessarily a fear of rejection. It could be as simple as a guy that is really introverted, is more social and “loose” in conversation after a cocktail or two (or three).

[Torari]

Nope. I barely drink but always have a girl in my life in some form. I just talk to whoever and wherever. But then again, I'm a salesman. Approaching, and talking to strangers is literally my job, i approach hundreds of people per day. So maybe i'm an exception, definitely used to it.

[Nexovous]

I don't drink so I don't know how green the grass is on the other side but breaking the ice is the only rough part. Smile, act natural and don't force things. Just look for respirocating behaviors to let you know if he/she likes you too.

[BeMuse]

I can talk to any girl sober without feeling nervous and have been able to do so since I was maybe 14 years old. Younger than that I was a little more awkward about it but made my way around my shyness with certain girls I guess.

[HopelessRomantic2119]

No. In fact, I found I actually had more success with women when I approached them sober. I can only speak from my own experience, but if a guy feels like he needs a few drinks before he can approach a woman, he’s not comfortable with himself.

[juliusdk]

It seems odd... But some guys do. I'm one of them. I can talk to girl in a conversation. But when it comes to how I feel towards them. I freeze up bad nd sound like a idiot.

[Anonymous]

Well, We need something to stop basic logic.
Logic tells us to never speak to a female because they hold the power to embarrass you, ridicule you openly, and destroy your soul, and or your world, if they want.

So in order to speak with a female we need to be either a douche bag who doesn't give a shit about those things or we need something to stop the basic logic that tells us not too.

[StephenCF]

Anyone who relies on alcohol for confidence are boring people to me. I’m only impressed by those who have this ability naturally and at any time of the day, with or without an exterior source

[blutwolfe]

nah I prefer to do it sober, if I like a girl chances are she's out of my league anyway though so I don't really bother too much, maybe just shoot my shot and I'm out

[ManOnFire]

Liquid courage? No, definitely like. I'm a hell of a flirt so I talk to chicks I like all the time with no problems.

[koalakola]

Not really. Some of us are tuned to just be upfront. Most of us can screw when we do it for first time but eventually it becomes simpler.

[Gavyn]

I've had 2 girlfriends and alcohol has never touched my lips. Pfft, anyone who needs it to talk to a girl isn't ready for any kind of romantic involvement, no matter how lonely they may feel.

[crazy8000]

Do girl's really need liquid courage or pills to talk to a guy they like?

When you understand that you will understand other way around since it's the same.

[Apope16]

Not the only way. But yes, pretty much. I have high anxiety.

[winterfox10]

No, but I've found that women need it. Women seem to freak out over everything when guys approach them.

[Riddler1412]

No. I either avoid it, or go for it. If I use liquid courage, there's a chance I might say something stupid and ruin it.

[coolhandroo]

For some for sure, it can be a social crutch or a pride parachute in case of failure but as dudes grow and mature it becomes less common and less accepted by male piers

[megaman242]

When ever I hear some say they need to drink more before they can dance, sing or talk to a girl. Then I lose a little respect for them and I find them slitly more boring.

[Passinggas]

I used to think that until I discovered I was a natural flirt and did/do better sober.

[clampfan101]

(Looks the term up...) “Liquid Courage” is alcohol? That junk is the opposite of courage! I say it’s something you need to NOT have!

[Quidthonian]

I don't do alcohol. I would like to see the boldness from the side of the girl. I would like to see her approach me.

[Dchrls78104]

If I need alcohol or anything like that to talk to a girl, I am downright pathetic and not worth much!

[CuriousMufuxka]

I hope not. I'm sure there's an app being developed that would convert the slurring into actual speech!

[Coffeaddict86]

So cool i needed that i have a problem with slurring and drinking😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😅😊its been over 17 years that i started my drinking traning class😊 and i haven't graduated😁😁😁😁😂😂

[CuriousMufuxka]

@Coffeaddict86 With the proper Kickstarter goal of 100,000 yen, we can make this possible!

[Coffeaddict86]

Cool for now i ll just drink late after the day ends so i dont fuck up😊😂

[CausticHippy]

Alcohol takes away my concerns. I could say it makes me funnier. But really it helps me give a shit less what other people perceive. Which one could argue allows me to "be myself".

[Thatsamazing]

NEED? Lol I dunno about "need" but it sure as hell helps.

[Ayer93]

Do you need shoes to run a marathon? No. But it sure as hell helps.

[MannMitAntworten]

Some guys actually do. The same way some women actually do.

[JSmuve]

No. I just need a legitimate reason to talk to her and an opportunity.

[Lunch_Long_Legacy]

Definitely makes me more talkative, but I'm not sure about more clever or witty.

[YHL6965]

No, alcohol does not help me. I fact, it makes things worse since I think intoxicated me is not smooth nor clever and probably a bit more annoying.

[Jamie05rhs]

Well, I don't drink, so I guess we will never know.

[Jeetin]

Where can I buy liquid courage? I have been settling for whiskey.

[Daniel3035]

Well not me I talk to girls sober all the time lmao.

[Missoctober13]

I know some men who do and some who dont it just depends on the guy

[COMMODOREII]

I can talk to a girl without it. Its when the pms starts i start to drink. 😎

[Angels-vs-Demons]

Some men need a pep talk to talk with women.

Why does it matter? The woman can just talk to the man she likes instead. She probably likes some man.

[Isac132]

No, it's not the only way. Sometimes even drink can not help.

[skeetskeetskeet]

For some guys it is... that shit can be terrifying if your balls are missing

[curiousvirgin55]

Yes, 90% of millennials has really bad social anxiety (boys)

[Joker1ooo]

Not at all, but it sure helps. Unless they are insecure about it, a guy who likes a girl will talk to her with being inebriated.

[Alfie_Solomons]

Guys don't "like" girls, okay. We just see someone who is easy and then we see how much action we can get...

[Gavyn]

Maybe you, but I love girls. "Action" means nothing to me without romantic feelings

[Mrblooo]

No. but it doesn't hurt thou n if it helps go for it

[MoscowMitch]

I'm not literally Raj from The Big Bang Theory but a drink couldn't hurt.

[lsjr16]

It helps men who are shy like me but for some men they don’t need it

[Anonymous]

Before it was the case to me too, but now I'm 14 months sober.

Most guys I know do it.

[harishSimbu]

No I can just kiss on her lips and can start conversation with one hot kiss 🤣🤣

[Eaglesfan285]

Yes, i use to drink to get balls to speak to hot women

[artemis77]

yes a lot do but not all gives them a bit more confidence.

[sidepie]

It's more like running shoes , you can run without them but they certainly help

[Anonymous]

It absolutely helps. Talking to women can be terrifying without it.

[BobSansMal]

When I was 16. Not now.

[WalterBlack]

It helps but it is not absolutely necessary.

[WhiteSandBeach]

Only guys without confidence do.

[SirRexington]

No, cause for me it doesn't help.

[loki35]

It definitely helps but not necessary.
