    Re: Girls on the street
    Well if he's asking EVERY girl in the street then the ones he asks will surely have seen him try it on and get shot down by the previous girls, and therefore him approaching them doesn't really make them feel special at all, just one in a string of people who he wants to get laid with?

    Re: Girls on the street
    I'm not going to lie. I did this several days a go with some friends. I was surprised at the fact that they were purposefully trying to get girls on the street. Didn't know people do this (i'm not really sociable so a lot is new to me).


    When I approached girls I just went up and said " You know what. I just noticed you. Can I have your number."


    Didn't work at all.

    The only thing I got out of it was losing a bit of my shyness.

    I was walking home the other day with my freind from the gym, and on the way back he started chatting to almost every girl on the street asking for their number and stuff and every single one not only refused him but gave proper harsh looks like they've just been offended or something.

    Obviiously it didnt shake his confidence. He told me he does this all the time and he does it to so many girls that even thought most reject him, there are a few that are actually interested and go forward.

    What puzzled me is that why did allthese girls look so pissed off. If they don't like the guy fair enough but atleast be flattered, the guy just complimented you. So, why?
    We're not flattered because it's incredibly annoying. You don't understand this because you're male, so you rarely get approached by girls. I get approached by guys on the streets pretty much everyday, even when I'm wearing baggy clothes and zero make-up. :mad: The most annoying thing is how they keep asking for your number when you've arleady said no once. When we're in a rush, it's a waste of our time.

    Why would I be flattered? I am a confident girl who is secure about herself. I don't need random guys complimenting my appearance to feel good - I can just look in the mirror.

    You need to understand this: if your friend finds a girl hot, it's most likely that many others do so too. In this case, she must have been approached by hundreds of guys before your friend came along. I think the girls who say yes to him are either fat or plain looking, hence they're glad they got some attention. There may be exceptions, I suppose.

    I'm sorry if I sound arrogant or rude; I'm just being brutally honest.

    'Oh my god, a guy wants my number, who the **** does he think he is! Doesn't he know how like super special I am?! Screw you!'

    When women start to make sense in this country it will be a miracle, as well as not being so insecure they take everything offensively.

    If he's getting all these bad responses, he's not doing it right. He's probably coming across as a d*ck or whatever

    I'm a hardcore daytime approacher. I love meeting and dating girls and I try to approach at least one girl a day whenever I'm out and about. I rarely get 'negative responses'. I usually make girls smile, blush and make their day. So if I can do it, then sometime tells me you must be doing something drastically wrong.

    I'm very Direct but at the same time charming and confident. I usually start with a compliment about what I like about a girl's look, and take it from there.

    For example, last saturday in Manchester I approached 2 girls sat on a bench and told them they were the prettiest girls I'd seen all day and that I'd love to get to know them. It went really well and one of the girls told me I'd 'made her day'. I handed her my business card and told her to call me when she's not busy.

    And yesterday evening while walking through the main street in Manchester I saw a gorgeous uni girl walking and I just HAD to meet her. So I got her attention and told her she was the most attractive girl I've seen in ages and that I wanted to say hello. She was really smiling and blushing etc. Unfortunately she had a bf, but oh well. I had asked if she fancied getting together so that we could get to know each other, but fair enough if she had a boyfriend. She then told me that she'd just finished work and was feeling terrible and that my approach had really cheered her up!

    So the point is, you shouldn't be getting all these harsh looks etc. My guess is you're coming across as creepy or as weird or maybe you just seem like every other d*ckhead who is 'trying to chat her up' but has no clue. Don't forget that girls get all sorts of weirdos saying strange things to them, or they get guys who are scared and just stare

    You have to be more charming and sincere than that, yet still direct and honest about your intentions. You have to be confident and you have to stand out from the losers who approach her. Just be NORMAL, not strange.

    Awesome thanks was a good bit of advice there. You sound like you meet a lot of girls in the daytime, how did it turn out with those you approached there? I bet you get laid a lot I'm jealous...

    He's probably ugly

    If your mate was attractive then he will get a decent response no matter what approach. Girls are shallow like that.

    Aesthetics and money and you take the power away from women and shift insecurity onto them , they think subconsciously 'Damn, am I good enough?'. This thought process manifests itself into a whole range of responses. But, she'll know your higher superficial value. So, theres the answer, work on aesthetics and getting wealthy.
