IWalkAlone Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 We've had a few threads lately about what a guy should or should not do if he sees someone he finds attractive in a supermarket or other public area. We're told to go ahead, take a risk and indroduce ourselves. We're told to do this only if she makes eye contact or smiles at us first. One women says she signals her interest in a guy by acting like she's not interested in him. And then outside of this board... A local magazine listed the Safeway Market as the #1 place for singles to meet. A coworker of mine recently said she doesn't like "creepy guys" talking to her at the Safeway and trying to get her number. So what's the scoop? Is it OK for guys to approach women at the supermarket or not??? Under what circumstances?
Ripples Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 I've always been absolutely fine with any guy to approaching me, at any time, so long as I find him attractive. Obvious, surely? Seriously though, you wouldn't approach a girl if you had had no positive contact with her, the exchange of smiles, etc. would you?
superconductor Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 Yes, it's ok. Nothing wrong with a warm smile, a gentle approach. No, it's not. Women are busy enough while shopping, dealing with wee sprogs who are getting their sticky fingers into the bulk bin candies and whatnot to fend off some lecherous dude. It's entirely situation-dependent.
Cheshire Cat Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 A coworker of mine recently said she doesn't like "creepy guys" talking to her at the Safeway and trying to get her number. The trick is not to look creepy, learn to read positive signals and have a little luck. So what's the scoop? Is it OK for guys to approach women at the supermarket or not??? Under what circumstances? Do not approach women who are in a hurry or are clearly having a bad day. Do not approach them while they are putting condoms in the cart or while they are choosing a depilatory cream. Do not approach them if there are condoms in your cart. Look as happy with yourself as possible. Smiling, happy men are attractive. Wait for positive signals, like smiles. Start up some casual conversation before going for their number - avoid too direct approach. Test waters. Look for damsels in mild distress (ladies not tall enough to reach an item is just one out of many possible exemples.) Offer help. Retreat quickly if ladies do not look pleased to talk with you.

"creepy" is female speak for fat, ugly non-confident losers. Or guys who have no money. if you're a good looking dude with a good job and confidence you can meet chicks anywhere. Unfortunately only around 5% of men fall in that category So what's the scoop? Is it OK for guys to approach women at the supermarket or not??? Under what circumstances? Like I said above, if a guy has got game he can approach and meet chicks any which where
SoCalCatman72 Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 I'm big on fresh fruits and veggies, so I spend a lot of time in the produce section. It's funny because I get a lot of attractive women checking me out as I am carefully selecting my produce (I hate bruised or wilted produce). It's funny because I once read a magazine article that said women who are receptive to meeting men in the supermarket tend to look for men in the produce section. I realized that most single guys are in the frozen dinner aisle.
alphamale Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 I realized that most single guys are in the frozen dinner aisle. along with the canned-goods aisle and the beer section

These articles are written by women, who want to manipulate the story into allowing men to believe women will show interest if you stand in the produce aisle. As for IWalkAlone: Supermarket is fine. Try not make it too obvious. It's disturbing. Sand&Water
