Ladies what is the best way to approach y'all. Obviously be respectful but do I introduce myself first with my name? Do I ask for hers. I just hate trying to talk to women and it sounds like I'm doing an interview. Also I hate beating around the bush, i want to get straight to the point letting her know I'm interested but I also don't want to come off desperate. I can't say I've ever cold approached a women so any advice from Men/Women would be great..
6 moThe best way to approach a girl is by being confident and respectful, starting with a natural, context-based conversation, and paying attention to her body language. Approach from the side in a non-threatening way, smile, make eye contact, and start with a simple, observational opening or a direct but polite compliment. If she doesn't seem interested, gracefully end the interaction and move on.
Before you approach
Choose the right time and place:
Avoid interrupting her if she's busy, rushed, or has headphones in. Public places, social events, or a coffee shop can be good settings.
Check her body language:
See if she is open to interaction. If she is engaged in a conversation with friends or looks stressed, it might not be the right time.
How to approach
Approach from the side:
Walk at a similar pace and position yourself slightly ahead of her, so you are in her peripheral vision. This is less jarring than walking directly in front of her or sneaking up from behind.
Be confident:
Stand tall, make eye contact, smile, and speak clearly. Even if you're nervous, try to project confidence.
Start with a natural conversation:Observational opener: Make a comment about your shared environment, like a book she's looking at or a band playing.
Direct but polite: A simple and direct approach can also work, such as "I know this is a bit random, but I just wanted to say hello" or "I found you attractive and wanted to introduce myself," according to this Reddit post.
Compliment her: Offer a specific and non-physical compliment, like on her jacket or shoes. Avoid commenting on her body, and definitely do not touch her or her belongings.
Share a little about yourself:
After the initial greeting, briefly share something about yourself to build a connection and make the conversation more natural.
What to do next
Gauge her reaction:
Pay attention to her responses. If she reciprocates with questions or enthusiastic conversation, she is likely interested.
If she is not receptive:
If she gives short answers, avoids eye contact, or tries to walk away, accept it gracefully and leave. Simply say, "It was nice meeting you," and move on.
If she is receptive:
Continue the conversation and, if it feels right, suggest exchanging numbers or meeting up for something like coffee. Giving her your number instead of asking for hers can also be a way to give her control.10 Reply

6 moGonna hand the mic 🎤 to NWA and let Ice Cube 🧊 explain...
"See I'm from the street, so I know what's up
On these silly games that's played by the women
I'm only happy when I'm goin' up in 'em
But you know, I'm a menace to society
But girls in biker shorts are so fly to me
So I step to 'em, with aggression
Listen to the kid, and learn a lesson today
See they think we narrow minded
'Cause they got a cute face, and big-behinded
So I walk over and say, "How ya doin?"
See I'm only down for screwin', but you know
Ya gotta play it off cool
'Cause if they catch you slippin', you'll get schooled
And they'll get you for your money, son
Next thing you know you're gettin' their hair and they nails done for 'em
And they'll let you show 'em off
But when it comes to sex, they got a bad cough
Or a headache, it's all give and no take
Run out of money, and watch your heart break
They'll drop you like a bad habit
'Cause a brother with money yo, they gotta have it!"

Ultimately what this comes down to is you having the nerve to approach a woman. There’s no use worrying about what to say or how to say it when you can’t even get yourself to walk up to her.

Asker7 moNot once did I say I'm scared to approach women.. I asked how can I approach them in the right way. But go off Queen
Asker7 mo@Abbycado what are y'all talking about. I've never talked to y'all before lol

That’s always the response lol “it’s not me!“ Even though you have the exact same situation, writing style and age range. No use arguing that. In any case you didn’t have to say you were scared, nobody said you said that. It’s your behavior that shows your hand. You want all the tips for approaching a woman without actually going up to her. Doesn’t work that way.

You just nailed what the problem is... it's in his mirror. he needs to work on self. He should watch the nature video on Wolves. If the male approaches and is not strong, he's food. That's reality... or at least puked out instantly.

You're just adopting the female response to the accusations of incels. The standard install responses" he just needs to work on himself. As if working on himself would make him richer or taller or better looking all of which are necessary to even get some respect from women these days. The work on yourself response is the response of a guilty person looking to duck the guilt.

@msc545 “As if working on himself would make him richer or taller or better looking all of which are necessary to even get some respect from women these days. The work on yourself response is the response of a guilty person looking to duck the guilt.”
Working on himself is precisely what he needs to do if he isn’t good looking or making a decent amount of money. So he should strive to just stay average is what you’re saying. - 6 mo
@msc545 financial success or at least... drive and passion, is part of working on self, but cannot ignore the emotional part, confidence, which is baked into the female psyche over millenia. Why would a female that produces multiple needy offspring want to take on a baby man? So she can not only care for the child, but tend the house, and work 2 time jobs to survive while he wimpers and whines about his bad luck?

I suppose if the man makes significantly more income than the woman then it makes sense. If they have the same income level, the man shouldn't be expected to pay for the woman's food. Just my thoughts. Also back to the original comment, I find it attractive when a woman is needy to some extent. Nothing is less attractive to me than the 'independent' women types. To each their own, I suppose.

@manbehindscreen I feel the same way lol

Listen to her and make sure you understand what she jus said, she is wise and right!

@lightbulb27 Yeah but you work here so of course you say that. After reading her profile, I'm not the least bit surprised that I disagree. She's not even a type that I would look twice at.
- 6 mo
@manbehindscreen what? I don't work here. I know very little about her but her remarks are usually honest and to the point. If you cannot resonate with that, you are going to have problems with females and your real issue is your self esteem and emotional development.
Thats my opinion. If you are stuck, see a therapist but for that to be effective you have to have some meaty issue to deal with, else waste. there's lots of resources online to up your game so you make progress. else, just don't mate and reproduce. that is nature.
- 6 mo
@lightbulb27 Tell me you've been on this site too long without telling me. Did you ever consider that everyone's truth is not the same? There is nuance to everything and people are different. Honestly what you typed just seems like a lowkey attack. I'm supposed to agree with some random girl's logic that I'm fundamentally incompatible with or else I must need therapy? Is there a reason you feel the need to lash out at anonymous people online?

@manbehindscreen good grief. This is why he can't get a date! There's only one determinant of anything... success. The women is the arbiter of the decision and one just spoke to you as clear and concise in a sentence as can get. Most women think that way. Good luck with the ones that don't.
Reason - I'll speak my truth and you can take it for what value it is to you. I not only "live here" but I've got my experiences to backup what I believe. Does it apply to everyone... of course not.
Everyone would benefit from discovery of self, healing of wounds and growth... most don't know they harbor issues that are screwing them or lack of understanding. That is the determinant whether I know someone is sound... they know they have issues and are aware of them and work on them. Lookup Johari Window.
There's professional thearpists out here that are screwed up and can't see it. Therapists have therapists. The people I know going to college for psych degree... need therapy. by therapy I mean... discovery of self, emotional freedom, possibly a skilled professional. If not now, then later.
A great journey starts with a single step. But I'll tell you the first step is to pull your head out of your rear end. If some writes a lightbulb " bible", put that in there...

@lightbulb27 I don't have a problem getting a date, I'm just not interested. Women hit on me all the time. I'm making a post about it soon so stay tuned.

@manbehindscreen ok, that's interesting itself. copy me if you like so I can peer into depths of your soul. I love these GAG psych thrillers! spice of life☺️
No interest, or you run away?

Then if you hate all of that do t do it approach her like you've known her forever say, Hey, what's your name? I am blah blah blah and just go for it, don't even think about she's a brand new person in your life or whatever, because she's not she's a human being respected her, like she's your mom talk to her like she's your mom or your sister or your grandmother or smart a** But it has to be the right type. You can't just do it. Never mind look into her eyes when you talk to her and speak. Say what's on your mind?
It's not an interview is 2 people talking. That's it, smile, have fun. Don't worry about it, that's the biggest problem. If you walk up there, worrying about something, it's going to happen. So forgive it all , let it all go and just stop with respect00 Reply
6 moCasually walk up to a woman you're interested in and say "Hi". Don't walk too fast or get too close, though. You don't want her to feel threatened.
Worked most of the time for me.
00 ReplyApproach her like you already respect her not like you’re trying to win her.
Don’t come with lines, come with intention.
Don’t seek to impress, seek to understand.
Because women of substance don’t fall for noise they recognize energy, presence, and clarity.
A real woman doesn’t need you to perform, she needs you to be real.
So the best way to approach her?
With calm confidence, emotional intelligence, and the kind of silence that speaks louder than flattery.
In short approach her like she’s a queen, and make sure you walk like a king.30 Reply
6 moThe best way to approach women is to get a good haircut, clean clothes, an outfit that makes sense. If you're a bum, dress like a well put together bum. If you work in finance, dress like you work in finance. If you work at a service job, stay casual. You get what I'm saying? Women expect you to dress like a cartoon character and the artist said "what would this character be wearing?" Because they're trying to figure you out.
Talk about things that are fun to talk about and make sure you show off monetary or social wealth in some subtle way. That's like crack to them.
00 ReplyIt’s one of the hardest learning curves but when you get over it the whole thing becomes easy forever
Unfortunately you need practice
You need to do the “interviews”
You will naturally calibrate to keep things fun and interesting
And most importantly you will forget that you’re “talking to a lady” as a reproductive mechanism and just be socializing in general00 ReplyThe best way to approach a woman is to tell her you have a job that she believe has a high income, and to look like this:

Then it doesn't matter what you say. Don't listen to the political correct lies, when you first meet a woman, it is 70 percent looks, 20 percent apparent income, and only 10 percent clothes, words, apparently personality, and attitude.
00 ReplyI would say compliment them. When i was single i would go with calling women pretty after exchanging some eye contact. I would say eye contact is the first clue to know if the person is interested in having a conversation with you or not (i always withdraw if they look uncomfortable)
It also depends on the settings, if it’s at the club or dating events, that’s fine. But if the settings is on the street, at work, school, or places that people doesn’t go to seek out dates , i wouldn’t do it.00 Reply
6 moInsult her. Just walk up to her and her friends and look her up and down then say “those shoes ruin that whole outfit”. Then turn to the rest of the group and ask, “Ladies are you with me on this, I can believe none of you told her”. Then laugh and introduce yourself. Be ready to get dumped on by the entire group. But sooner rather than later tell her that her sense of style caught you attention. Maybe they forgive you.

6 moTbh I can't think of it. I just hate in general when men approach me, no matter how they do that, I always feel disrespected and like they have a lot of audacity.
Ngl if I liked someone and they approached me first I'd hate them immediately lol10 Reply
6 moSay Hi and ask for something like "do you know if this train goes to (X) station?" See if she is nice and helpful and if she is say "you seam very nice" and if she responds positive ask for her number.

6 moDon't know if it's the best, but dogs have great success with women. So do your hair up all bushy and go up and sniff them. It's worth a swing eh?
00 Reply In this day and age, make sure you look good. The bar is so low that being in shape levels you up exponentially. Whether it be in person cold approaching or online with a sick dating profile.
00 ReplyI don't know the best way, but don't chase her around all day. Hopefully I don't need to say that
00 ReplyBe confident, not creepy. Smile, make genuine conversation, and don’t overthink it. Like Jared Laurence teaches, it’s all about good energy and authenticity, not pickup lines.

6 moThe best way to approach women is be 6' or taller, have 6 pack abs, and drive a 150k$ or more expensive car. If you don't meet this criteria, don't approach women they don't want you.
