Why would you approach a female stranger at a public event and tell her she’s beautiful or pretty?

[mistixs]

I’m hitting on her and want casual sex

I’m flirting with her for romantic purposes

Both of the above

I want to be her platonic friend

I just believe she’s beautiful and want to brighten her day

I feel bad for her because she’s not beautiful and want to make her feel better

I would never do this

Why the fuck would I approach a female stranger or any stranger. We're talking female in particular... I don't fucking know her and for all I know she's probably some onlyfans whore. If not that, she might be a TikTok/Instagram whore who's gonna get her phone out and out me as one of those perverts that can't keep his eyes off her... for attention.

Honestly the idea of just cold approaching women started dying while I was still around doing that. The idea of it is very 1990's.

Women changed that game because they made it clear they're not to be approached. Now the only men that still will simply don't catch hints and they keep being a tryhard. Dudes like me require the women or at least the circumstance to introduce even a reason to talk to a women.

Watch this video and read the comments and you'll really understand.

[InknKink]

Absolutely not true. Cold approaches still work today. In fact, because less guys are doing it, it works even better now then it did in the past. Facts are that most women prefer to meet their partners in an organic way.

You're jaded as fuck and know nothing about women and dating.

[D_Bone_Steak]

I love how I get blasted as knowing nothing about women and dating, meanwhile knows nothing about my history with women. I have a different opinion... boo hoo.

I agree with @InknKink with stipulations... that cold approach stuff isn't going to work in all settings. But I think him for giving an example of the guy not like me... doesn't catch hints and is a tryhard. He's the guy that's still in your face and hounding you for a phone number. lolz.

[InknKink]

News flash, most women going about their day are not OF models and prostitutes. And you're pretty much guaranteed to never have a woman pull out a phone and record you for being a sleaze simply because you tried to have a conversation.

That shit may be plastered all over the internet but it's not a reflection of the real world.

And you should be blasted for the opinion you gave. It's utter non-sense. Difference of opinion be damned. You're good ol' fashioned wrong.

[D_Bone_Steak]

@InknKink Oh shit you are really concerned about this topic. I can empathically feel your personal offence to everything.

That's your opinion... even though the opinion you gave can line up with mine quite well based on circumstance, you're just really emotionally offset by guys like me that let the women approach them.

I guess bro... keep chasing them with your tongue out and annoying the shit out of the ones that just want to be left alone. No sweat off my sack. Try not to catch one of those false accusations, because with your behavior... I might believe her.

[InknKink]

1, 2, and 3.

But lets be honest. Cold approaching someone and telling them they're beautiful or pretty is just cringe. If it's true, she's heard it thousands of times and it'll get you nowhere.

For all you men out there trying to get into the dating scene... never compliment a beautiful woman on her physical appearance until you've gone on a couple dates first.

I get it, we all start somewhere. Those being "I saw you from across the room and thought you were beautiful so I just had to say hello" is kind of a staple opener.

But it's horrible.

You give away your value and come off as desperate.

[SueShe]

I personally never approach a person, regardless of the gender just to try to hit on them. Because that is really what it is all about. Hitting on a person.

Men will do it because they are unable to control their levels of testosterone and always, always hope to get into that girl's pants.

For that purpose, every method is useful including what I call "prostitution" or, in other words, the willingness to lower themselves in such a way as to make futile compliments in a vain attempt.

We all know what the ultimate purpose for this kind of approach is and that is simply just pathetic.

[MrOracle]

If men didn't approach women and hit on them, you wouldn't exist, and neither would most people. That's how people have met and got together for millennia.

[UpaRupa]

@MrOracle not really even the concept of dating is relatively new. cold approach was not a thing

[NoDecision]

If you are beautiful, you have heard all before. So tell him to save his breath.

[Aakash_Hangargi]

I wouldn't go directly to a women and say she's beautiful even if I know her..

So I would never go and tell a stranger women she is beautiful.

It might backfire way easily and quickly escalate.

Even though those would have been just true words of Appreciation.

I do compliment on gag though, those who have kept Profile Picture because I felt so genuinely and that's the end of my conversation mostly 99%.

If they say thank you I say welcome and thats it.

If I remember correctly in my 4 to 5 years of journey in gag I have genuinely complimented only 5 women.

[TrimmedTip]

Because a genuine, respectful compliment can make someone’s day. But it’s all in the delivery. If it’s kind, non-threatening, and without expectation, it can be a bright moment for both people. Just read her cues and back off gracefully if she’s not engaging.

[RavVid]

If I think she is beautiful I'll probably say so. I won't tag on 'wanna fuck' at the end but it opens up possibilities and conversation so it might go somewhere

At 16/17 most people aren't in relationships. By 30 most people are. The older you are the less productive it is to hit on random girls.

[Nikki1989]

If I think someone is pretty, I will sometimes give them a compliment. I really don't see the big deal.

[slatyb]

Not unless she held eye contact with me. Then I would walk over and introduce myself. Otherwise no. Same with any stranger in almost any situation. If she's extraordinarily attractive, she gets that all the time and it's tiresome.

[EmmaMary]

@mistixs

For the fairly obvious reason that he's desperate to give her a damn good fucking... Simples.

[mistixs]

A girl who looked like a teenager did this to me today and I was very flattered. I thought about how I tend to feel more uncomfortable when guys do it because it’s more likely to be flirting.

[EmmaMary]

Have you considered the possibility that the girl could have been a lesbian... Sorry just my suspicious nature.

[AMS700CX4u2]

One could be purposefully hitting on her or just being courteous. Courtesy is a casual way of hitting on everyone. If we wanted no relationships we would not speak to one another.

[Tarifa]

I would only do that if there was a certain chemistry or repeated looks across the room that would have created a favourable environment to take that route. Just out of the blue, no.

[BeenThereLovedIt]

Like InknKink said, telling a stranger she's beautiful is a no-go.

I found that complimenting her on her accessorizing, like her hair, shoes, fashion, etc.. goes a LOT further.

[Finchie40]

Because I have the hots for her and don’t want to miss taking a shot at her , because I might not see her again

[Flowersareawsome22]

That's so weird you don't just show up in random people's face and say hey you're beautiful. Out of no where.

[BonzoInBitburg]

I wouldn't. That line doesn't get you anywhere. There are much better things to say on a cold approach.

[Wiredone]

I always approach women and tell them they are beautiful or that she has nice eyes or smile. I hope it makes her day just a little bit better. Thats the only reason I do it. Im not looking to be friends or date her, im already married

[DonaldDarko]

Because I was impressed I suppose, back a long time ago.

[jazzy34]

I don’t mind a genuine compliment from a man every now and then. Not every man is a creep.

[Dennisjf12]

Because I have done it in the past and I like telling a good looking woman how good she looks and not expecting anything in return. Dennis

[Anonymous]

I would never do that because - I'm too shy, especially when it comes to hot girls.

That's probably one of the main reasons why I was never in a relationship, never had a kiss, and still a virgin.

[beefcakebradybatson]

The pictured broad's an eight and would be a ten with bigger spuds, but I don't think I'd approach a hot female stranger at a public event and tell her she's beautiful.

[FunkyMonkee]

Yes, I've done this a number of times.
I clicked on the 3rd one from the bottom.

[Anonymous]

Do people not teach children how to socialize? If you go your whole life not talking to strangers you'll never know anyone.

[DrPepper12]

AOTA! Why is a compliment sus or aggressive? Say TY & move on with your life.

[qwerty2469]

En know now to never approach an American woman and to neve compliment them. We only go for east Asian women.

[Anonymous]

I think it’s awkward. How do you approach someone that might be a stranger in front of other people who might also be strangers?

[Shihab_91]

Cuz i want a relationship , but i know we are all not the same?

[Anonymous]

Nah, I don’t feed women’s ego. Besides we’re supposed to stay from them according to social media

[BullBear]

Absolutely i have done so many times...
Beautiful things should be appreciated

[ohsheeT]

Eye to eye and a smile

[ohsheeT]

And it would be because I.
Feel her energy from wherever i'm standing and it makes me curious how much deeper I can feel that energy and the reason behind it

[StephanieChick111]

I'd make a move on her.

[WonderingManII]

I’m flirting with her for romantic purposes

[larry69]

I would never approach a woman ever.

[TonyMetal___86]

I don't imagine myself doing such things...

[Rainbow7_]

Brightens the day also to Test the waters.

[Yellovv]

I did that too many times...

[es20490446e]

It can be any.

[panera]

Maybe

[Anonymous]

I wouldn't.
