The majority of British girls are stuck up? (compared to other countries)

why generalise it to the whole of the female population of england?
Yeah, there are some more reserved people who would feel uncomfortable being approached by a strange man asking them a strange kind of question. There are others who just do not want to talk to you (such as the chavs you mentioned) and then SURPRISE SURPRISE there are girls who would answer your question, you just havn't come across them yet.
I'm pretty sure you find all three of those types in America too.
I'd say it's a bit stuck up to generalise all english women as egotistical man haters. (Or maybe your just really ugly and scared them)!

FFS you ******. Since when did socialising become an undesirable trait? I like to have a good time and all but I would never consider just hitting on randomers in the street, I do actually like to spend time with them first! And no, this isn't the first time it happened. worst was when i asked a group of young chav girls for the time and all i got was 'time to **** off'.
Stop being so close minded and smell the coffee, this country has a serious problem and it isn't coincidential that most other countries regard us as stuck up our own arses. But since you're so close minded, i don't expect you to realise. Why is it perfectly acceptable to ask simple things abroad and not here, why?

I'm off to go and get some Kenco and condoms...
(All I was saying is that it looks very false if you try to get to know someone with simply one motive in mind. You may genuinely have been simply wanting to socialise [even though you've mentioned getting lots of numbers in two posts now] but the public at large isn't Ask Jeeves -- try speed dating.)

There you go then. You asked some chavs. Yeah there's way too many chavs in this country but we're not all chavs.
My answer, like your question, is two-fold - a) yes, British people generally are more stand-offish. If you're at the bus stop on your own, and somebody else is next to you on their own, and you talk to them, it's tantamount to trying to rape them. The instant thought would be, "What's this person up to? What's he want from me?" and b) a long convoluted and personal question like that would be a weird thing to ask an entire group of randoms anywhere, so you're probably just a bit weird.
Erm the question was long-winded and lame. They probably felt uncomfortable and threatened. Yes british people are generally more reserved, the best way of meeting people is through other people in pubs etc not randomers in the street. Also girls usually act bitchy if they are not interested i.e if you are ugly or a loser

Well the chavs who didn't give you the time have their attitude and image to maintain, that's not a british thing, young people all over the world try and prove themselves through being unsociable in different ways.
And asking simple things to normal people gains you a normal response if you ask in a normal way, there's a difference between asking a group of people if they've listened to a new cd and if it's worth purchasing and asking them their opinion on an incomprehensible personal problem you're having, that sort of thing you wouldn't even try on your acquaintances because the people whose advice your asking need the background information and an interest in your problems before they can make a response.
And other than that people feel more comfortable talking to strangers when they're in a comfortable place/position, your question was an uncomfortable proposition.
WTF? Why would you even think about asking strangers that?
By the way, I'm American.

Ok, i am not trying to create an inflammatory response here.
Here is what happened to me today. I approached a group of girls in a shopping centre while my mate was looking at some cd's in hmv.
Since he was having relationship problems i went up to a group of women (about 18 years old) and said:
Me: Hey guys, let me get your opinion on something.
I'm trying to give my friend over there advice, but we're
just a bunch of guys and not qualified to comment on
these matters.
Girls: What? (in a pissed off way)
Me: Okay, see my friend over there. Well, he has been
dating a girl for three months. And she just moved in
with him. Okay. This is a two-part question. So, imagine
you've been dating someone for three months. And he is
still friends with his old girlfriend from college. How do
you feel about that?
They just said: go away you freak
I was ****ing livid after. I'd just got back from the US and had no problem with talking to random girls and guys. I never got a response like this and there was usually good conversations and number exchanges. I am actually apalled but this seems to be an attitude with a lot of British girls, more so than the American girls who were actually more beautiful. It seems we have the most egotistical and rude women in the world.

I think in general, I find Americans much easier to approach then English people. But I don't find English people complete *******s either.
But from my own experiences, you're gonna come across these types of girls anywhere really.. they probably thought you were trying a new way of chatting them up, and it flattered them really, but its 'cooler' to tell you that you're a freak and to eff off basically instead of accepting your 'advances'
But yeah, I think you get more easygoing people out of America than you do here

surprise:you can find all three of them also in Italy!
Personally, I would have listened to you and maybe also have a laugh, and also some of my friends and many girls that I know!
Of course if it was a bad day, I was in hurry or someone had been trying to pull me using the same line the response would have been different!
But many of my friends are just shy and prefere to avoid directly the possibility of your question turning into a pick up line by immediately turning you off...so..maybe it's a more generalised tendency in the uk but I think it is weird to ask such an opinion randomly in other countries as well...
Yes I have to agree. 99% of girls in Manchester are chavs and therefore complete bitches.
Personally if someone approached me asking that question i would think they are taking the piss. But I would answer politely.

Brits in general are reserved and don't like speaking to people they don't know.
No, that's just southerners. Northerners (and the Scots) will talk to a stranger. Although this isn't as common as it once was, I admit.
Anyway OP no offence but stop being so silly. They were a small group. How on earth are they representative of all British females?
Well to the claims that I am a freak or ugly, i'm not. I guess being friendly just isn't 'cool' these days.

I'm sure you're not a freak or ugly, child.
However, I'm going to say it again: asking strangers for counselling in a two-part question format isn't being friendly, it's being odd and it's also a waste of everyone's time.
i find THE ABSOLUTE BEST way to meet random girls is on public transport. but yes i find british girls are NOTHING like europeans (im not at all experienced with yanks tbh). i rememeber one girl when i went camping in Austria, she was at the same camp with family and i would go down to the river with a mate just to throw stones and admire it (beautiful rapid river set next to Austrian mountains) and she would basically wait for us and then come over and just started talking! and she was STUNNNING! think 15 year old Adrianna Lima! her English was only as good as my German though haha but it was amazing trying to understand each other just an incredible experience. we then snuck out the night before i left to say a proper goodbye 
. that was just unforggetable. we could barely speak to each other but understood each other perfectly. man i had it good . then on the plane back i met a girl from munich! she just sat next to me and we talked for the whole journey (her english was AMAZING) and it ended with a good 6 months of emails 
. anyway i have NEVER been approached by a british girl like that. british culture is strange. i feel like when i approach a british girl im doing a bad thing lol. like its wrong to want to get to know this person just because im attracted to them and generally i think they think the same. too reserved and feel cheap if they let some guy get what he wants. theres nothing shameful in it if two people find each other attractive physically and one wants to make a connection. theres no other way to do it.

You do feel really awkward for starting conversations here.
