Guys: Do you talk to strange women in public?

[surferboy]

So speaking to a strange women/cute cashier today gave me gratification & a scolding! Like the good boy I am when mom asked if I could take her to the grocery store on the wknd I said sure. So today after a qwik workout I picked mom up grabbed a bite with her & hit the grocery store. Don't really like grocery shopping, only really go out of necessity. Somehow to get a dozen or so items mom can spend half hour in there, but I digress... Anywho at the checkout line all the cashiers are dressed up in Halloween costumes, & ours was a cat. Not just a run of the mill cat, but a tall brunette edgy looking college cat! So mom says my my what a cute little cat you are & she says thank you. I say i'm not a big cat lover but for a cat you sure have a beautiful smile... she blushes & says why thanks. While putting mom's grocery's into the bag the cashier looks at the clock & say's almost break time. I say i'll leave you a snack which tin would you like the Friskies Salmon Pate or Chicken & Gravy & she bursts out laughing. Say's she a vegetarian so she won't eat the chicken but the fish tempts her. I say that explains the flawless complexion & she blushes again. Asks if I have air miles & I say sure where do you want to go? Laughs & says to mom he's smooth & mom says yes but a young beautiful girl like you can do better! Fack sandbagged by moms again. As we get out of the store the lecture starts, your probably old enough to be her dad, why don't you act your own age yada yada yada

Awh well the point is there's no harm in talking to strange women, regardless of age or looks. The more you put yourself out there the better your game & the better your odds.

Lol surferboy!

I do all the time.

Opportune times to strike conversations:

In a line up when you feel everybody's frustration

When you happen to observe something together

Impromptu meeting out of circumstance

etc. etc.

All in all, it shouldn't look like you're trying and don't act like a creep.

For me, it's not that I can't talk to strange women, it's that I don't act on possible connections (either I'm in a rush or my mind is pre-occupied - eg. young woman I met at a 2nd cup at the milk-sugar stand "Oh it's too bad you have to go to the office" when I should have asked for a later coffee date - duh).

The pick-up lines I get are probably quite different than some of the younger women. Many men in bars, etc. ask if I'm married and if I'm not interested I simply say "yes". (I'm not) I would feel bad giving a guy a fake number.

You're sweet!

Stand in the produce section and watch for the women who fondle the cucumbers with glazed eyes.

That's right!!!

Katheryn Winnick bears a striking resemblance to Lady Azelle of BDSM fame

Who's Lady Azelle?

Katheryn Winnick was practically Rob Ford's neighbour, she's also from Weston.

And she's in demand. She'll be appearing in the upcoming The Dark Tower and possibly the next installment of True Detective. Her time on Vikings has almost played out. So far they've stuck to the Norse legends, if they continue to do so Lagertha does not survive Season 5.

Oddly enough, Lady Azelle's studio is also in Weston

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but 9 times out of 10, most women don't want to be picked up. Especially more attractive women..

My late $0.02: One friend gets the "are you a model?" question quite often at retail stores and while it was charming at the beginning, quickly became fairly annoying. Another dresses as "un-sexily" as possible while doing errands and also gets a ton of unwanted attention. I don't know if it's a certain look or threshold, but very attractive ladies get 1000x the attention of everyone else. We often hear that beautiful ice queens don't get that much attn? Who knows. Maybe the ladies who want attn aren't getting enough and those that don't want it are annoyed by even 1 encounter?

I also think that while a beautiful woman may smile at you in public (it happens all the time, I just nod/smile back and move on), it can usually be attributed to politeness and not an invite to talk.

I agree with Camilla in that I personally have no issues talking to anyone at a bar or club, but prefer to be on the "safe" side of not intruding on ppl during everyday life while running errands, working out at the gym, etc. Even if they start talking.

Then again I don't go to bars & clubs to pickup. Hanging out with friends usually.

I enjoy grocery shopping a lot. Not so much into clothes shopping and trying things on. I find it tedious and annoying because everything is always so big on me. I find it annoying if a man hits on me in a shopping mall. But I could spend all afternoon in a good supermarket....

I once lived near a 24 hour major chain supermarket. Several times, when I couldn't sleep and needed to go grocery shopping, I go at 3-4 AM. Got into a few conversations over the "lettuce and cucumbers ." I always found if I went to the smaller coffee shops, and not the chain places, i.e., Starbucks, and was working on something or reading a book, that I could strike up a conversation at ease (I found if you don't come across as a a-hole, most women would talk with you). One time I help a young lady with an accounting homework problem, and we starting talking for 30-40 mins (unfortunately, only about accounting and a few other things but hey, gotta start somewhere).

Was at a mall few days ago, sitting down on bench enjoying a cup of coffee, killing time before work, girl watching. An attractive 30 something woman sits down beside me with coffee also. I casually glance over to her a couple of times to check her out. Peripherally, I can see her glance my way a couple of times. After a while she says to me casually "It's busy here" . I reply "T'is the season"... She then says "I've been dropping these all over this morning" and hands me a card- it reads "Jehovah's Witness....etc." "Do you read the bible?" she says, "No I don't" I reply, she then leaves. LOL!

They occasionally appear without notice at my house for an outcall. As a duo.
I tell them sorry. The house is a mess.

Strange women are the only ones who are willing to speak to me.
