witabix Posted September 16, 2010 Posted September 16, 2010 Well, that's the point, brosquito - prison's where they be throwin round dat salad. Doubt if you'd get a hard enough prison sentence for impersonating a shop manikin. Throwing around prison salad, sounds messy, no fun unless its a female prison though!

Throwing around prison salad, sounds messy, no fun unless its a female prison though! What if you violently raped a mannequin? Too bad we couldn't get into a female prison.
meerkat stew Posted September 16, 2010 Posted September 16, 2010 Man you will get soooo arrested for doing this. Or they will just lock up the shop and go home thinking you are a manikin or something. I know you are probably joking, but just in case not, I don't mean stand motionless like a mannequin, but to stay in the same area.
witabix Posted September 16, 2010 Posted September 16, 2010 I know you are probably joking, but just in case not, I don't mean stand motionless like a mannequin, but to stay in the same area. Lurk............
meerkat stew Posted September 16, 2010 Posted September 16, 2010 Lurk............ You know that brings up another tactic. When I was a kid, I used to hide in the clothing racks in stores and then "pop out" and scare some unsuspecting lady. They found this very cute and endearing, often rewarding me with a piece of candy or a quarter. Perhaps this would work as an adult also. There are hiding places everywhere, in bushes, under cars, even in her closet or under her bed if a window or door is open. Of course I haven't tried this type of approach, but maybe it would be just as endearing as it was when I was a kid?

It's scaaaarrrreeeeyyyy.
meerkat stew Posted September 17, 2010 Posted September 17, 2010 Oye. Do you chase birds too? Sorry. Boo doesn't work for grown ups. It's scaaaarrrreeeeyyyy. I get that it could be considered scary, but maybe there are ways to defuse the likelihood she would take it the wrong way, wearing a funny mask, or laughing loudly when one does it?

Uh, no. Not for adults. Not ever. If you haven't established any prior social connection with someone, an act of springing something on them is boderline assault--it belies a total absorption with the self and what the springer thinks is fun and does not consider the space, the possible mood, the privacy, the serenity, the safety of someone else. A woman may not take it so and MAY think it's cute or she MAY call the cops and be right in doing so. Trust me, the cops won't think it's cute. And I'd bet good money most adult women won't either. Sorry to break it to ya that way, MS.

What about if you carried a puppy with you? wouldn't that make it different? If you were the guy under her car with a clown mask on but with a puppy, she could see that you likely had good intent in reaching out at her ankle when she came back from shopping. She might take it the wrong way at first, but when she saw the puppy, wouldn't that defuse things and show your true harmless intent? Or what if you rattled the bushes a bit or creaked the hinges on her closet door some before leaping out, wouldn't that be a sign of harmless fun as opposed to scariness? A woman may not take it so and MAY think it's cute or she MAY call the cops and be right in doing so. Trust me, the cops won't think it's cute. And I'd bet good money most adult women won't either. Well I see your point about the cops, they can be such a downer sometimes in keeping one from doing what one wants to do. Things are much better when they aren't around. Sorry to break it to ya that way, MS. Eh, no problem, it seemed like such a unique way to approach women though. Will consider it some more and try to think of more ways this kind of thing could be done without getting the cops involved.
witabix Posted September 17, 2010 Posted September 17, 2010 Oh dear, dear Meerkat, I love your tactics for approaching women. Hiding under her car with a clown mask on and carrying a puppy, then grabbing her ankle as she walks past....... The Stephen King route to romance.
elaina Posted September 17, 2010 Posted September 17, 2010 Just don't say "Nice melons!" unless the girl is actually buying melons. On second thought, no, not even then. lol!
gypsy_nicky Posted September 17, 2010 Posted September 17, 2010 Ok, I have no experience in this area, but am compelled to ask after seeing some hot girl at the mall all alone shopping. As someone who doesn't know any better I'd think it would be easier to pick up girls in a bar/club since they are there to socialize, but from reading this board it seems it is the quite opposite as most girls are hostile to advances from men in these situations. Whenever I google places to meet girls its always library/bookstore/mall/grocery store etc. But I just find it these odd places to meet new people. When I'm shopping at the mall I don't want people to come up to me and be left alone, and when I'm at a grocery store, I just want to buy my food and leave. Am I alone in thinking these are strange places to socialize? I wouldn't even know how to approach people in these places unless there was some strange occurrence to talk about. I'm awkward talking to people who I know what I want to talk about, I guess outside of complimenting a girl on something I'd have no idea how to start a conversation in these areas. I guess scenario today, I see cute girl walking in mall, I have no idea how old she is since we're at the mall (I can't tell the difference between a 16 and 22 year old most of the time) walking opposite direction not looking at me at all, how does one approach her? unless the lady is a familiar stranger then try to establish friendly rapport. If its some random girl chances are high for rejection.
irc333 Posted September 17, 2010 Posted September 17, 2010 (edited) Ok, I have no experience in this area, but am compelled to ask after seeing some hot girl at the mall all alone shopping. I have a mall where I live...and women don't like being approach, or if you see one dining a lone at the cafe court, it's guaranteed that her boyfriend / husband will be arriving shortly, i had a male friend about to get up to talk to a woman sitting all by herself, and then some guy shows up and kisses her, and they left....would've that been embarassing if he was talking to her and he showed up. lol Hitting on random women in public doesn't bode over well where I live. 1. Either these women are married or have a boyfriend JUST around the corner, and you happened to bump into them alone 2. They typically don't like being approached in public I live in a more rural "clicky" area where if they don't know you, they assume just not talk to you, and wish you on your merry way. People where I live tend to "Stick" to the people they grew up with since grade school (yeah, I know, disturbing) and making NEW friends (much less lovers) they tend to stay away from. I actually met two single women like this, a married male friend of mine attempted to get them out of their county to the "big city", and they were wall flowers the whole time among his and my friends. I was able to talk to them though, suprisingly. I think he kinda wanted to introduce me to them because I was single as well. They carpooled together. Then all of a sudden, they all disappeared early. I chatted with him and said, "Hey, what happened to ya last night, you all bailed?" And he goes, "yeah, they got bored and wanted to go dancing" and I said, "Um, and ya didn't think to bring me along?" And he goes, "yeah I did, but...um...they figured you'd get the wrong idea if they let you join us" Yeah, pretty cold. lol Small town snobs/clicks are rampant around here...that's why I seek out and commute to larger cities where women are more open to that kind of thing, and are probably expecting it, because the entire general public is out on the town.

Sorry to break it to ya that way, MS. Ahhh no she has no real right to call the cops. Not if the guy just jumps out and says boo. He didn't violate any laws. The only reason you think it's okay to call the cops is because of society. No other reasons whatsoever. If a women did this to a man the guy would never call the cops. Unless the woman had a gun/knife/some kind of weapon. At any rate, I'm not sure if it would work or no markeet. It seems like you are in danger (if it's not calibrated just right) of pissing off the woman/legitimately scaring her. I think you may end up with more blowouts. Probably not something you want to try unless you have a lot of experience "hitting on random chicks".

I think I am going to allow this counselor, carry on. Well I see your point about the cops, they can be such a downer sometimes in keeping one from doing what one wants to do. Things are much better when they aren't around. Gotcha dude! Eh, no problem, it seemed like such a unique way to approach women though. Will consider it some more and try to think of more ways this kind of thing could be done without getting the cops involved. Definitely, with out a question unique. And thats what we need, none of this jerk vs good guy nonsense, we need some good surreal ways to approach women. And then.......

Yeah, these places work. I now women (or woman to be honest) who goes to Home Depot to meet men. What I did was got used to talking to strangers. So, I wouldn't just talk to women but men, kids (if they're with their parents), parents, old people AND women I was interested in. If you work at talking to strangers, in general, it makes talking to hot women less daunting. As for topics... is there some shared experience? For example, waiting in line at the check out. Make some comment on what's going on. Have you been waiting a looong time? ("Well, looks like I picked the wrong line again.") Make the comments light, don't be a jerk. So smile when you say them. You want to appear friendly and approachable. As for your specific example, that's tough 'cause you've got to invent something. If I needed to meet her, I'd ask for directions to a particular short or the time. Something that's plausible. 'Course, she's gonna know you're trying to pick her up, so if she's curt, let it go. If she smiles, ask her if she has time to show you where such-and-such a place is. If she says, 'yes', you MUST ask her number before you get there. However, I don't give this approach a big chance of success.

"Police were advised of a strange adult male in a clown mask startling unsuspecting women". Duh. In today's world police can't afford to just dismiss such things. It just doesn't sound good on paper. Perhaps meerkat is so hansome, he's an exception. Ask the police.
Author kahn2154 Posted September 18, 2010 Author Posted September 18, 2010 Let say you are in casino, walk by some girl and make eye contact with her, she smiles, does that mean she is interested. What do I do after that? Like I am completely clueless starting up a conversation is hardest part for me, I need to get on topic or I'm just awkward boring

What do I do after that? Like I am completely clueless starting up a conversation is hardest part for me, I need to get on topic or I'm just awkward boring (1) Smile. (2) Say "Hi, how are you doing tonight?" (3) If she smiles back and responds to your question, GOTO 4. If not, END. (4) If you are just passing by each other in different directions, END. (5) If you are in a situation where you'll have time to have an actual conversation, then start a situational conversation.
Author kahn2154 Posted September 19, 2010 Author Posted September 19, 2010 I mean, she smiled at me as we were passing by in different directions....so is that an end? This stuff would be so much easier if I had friends Hard going out alone
USMCHokie Posted September 19, 2010 Posted September 19, 2010 I mean, she smiled at me as we were passing by in different directions....so is that an end? Like I said in my first post, it doesn't hurt to smile and say hello to people you're passing by. If I get any sort of vibe from anyone I'm passing by, whether it's a guy or girl, young or old, I'll make eye contact, smile, and say hi or good morning or whatever. It's just good practice, and it shows you have presence and command of the room or whereever you are. Don't be the person who looks down at the ground whenever someone passes by...that isn't particularly strong behavior...
Star Gazer Posted September 19, 2010 Posted September 19, 2010 If I get any sort of vibe from anyone I'm passing by, whether it's a guy or girl, young or old, I'll make eye contact, smile, and say hi or good morning or whatever. "Vibe"?? I do that too, but not to pick up on people...
USMCHokie Posted September 19, 2010 Posted September 19, 2010 "Vibe"?? I do that too, but not to pick up on people... "Vibe" meaning that they are looking in my general direction...hahah...
