Closepost=106335I'm sorry, were you talking to me? (No.) Well let's change that.Here ya guys go. No need to thank me.
If I could rearrange the alphabet, I would put U and I together.
If you were a tear in my eye I would not cry for fear of losing you.
What's your sign?
Would you touch me so I can tell my friends I've been touched by an angel?
Your legs must be tired because you've been running through my mind all night.
Pardon me, is this seat taken?
You must be Jamaican, because Jamaican me crazy.
If you were words on a page, you'd be what they call FINE PRINT!
You're like a dictionary, you add meaning to my life!
Excuse me, I think you have something in your eye. (Look and wait till they respond) Whoa sorry, I kinda got lost in there.
You remind me of a magnet, because you sure are attracting me over here!
Your lips look so lonely.... Would they like to meet mine?
You be the Dairy Queen and I'll be your Burger King: You treat me right, and I'll do it your way
A giant polar bear just broke the ice. Guess how much it weighed!
Hey I'm going out for a bit, can you hold onto something for me? (hold out empty hand)
LOL.....funny
I know this thing isn't meant to be serious......but if you ever said any of those terrible pick up lines
to a hot chick.......
the results would be......well.....not good.
The sociology of this sort of thing is something I have a vested interest in and I'm willing to discuss, but everyone is pretty much going to make fun of each other. If the topic actually generates discussion, I'll join in.
Man I wish I could stop people from doing that I would....but I can't.
I said "serious" topic.
sorry Feld

One of my girl friends received a note in class from some 40 year old obese guy who sat next to her (she's half that age). It said something along the lines of "Would it be okay if I called you sometime?" She actually gets approached a lot and I feel sorry for her!
But actually seeing it happen in real time will reaffirm you that you do not want to be that guy in 20 years.

post=106336post=106328Why else are you giving "HOW TO PICK UP CHICKS" advice on a forum full of people who make video games for a specific genre (mostly). Even Mog has a nerd inside of him!
Sigh......so your saying people on RMN are nerds?
edit: hahahaha at neok
Speak for... y-yourself....
On a more serious note, it actually tends to be the attitude of the girls I meet at parties or whatever that can be slightly intimidating, more-so than just their appearance. It's unfortunate that most attractive girls are pretty unapproachable-- but there's always an exception!
My roommate has a method that he describes as this:
Him: "A generally effective way of getting laid is just pretty much coming right out with it."
Me: "What, walking up to one and asking her if she wants to have sex?"
Him: "That's the idea, because it's a yes or no scenario and it cuts out the middleman entirely."
Me: "What? That sounds like a NOOOO scenario!"
Him: "No no, there are a few conditions to it. One, it applies mostly in social situations like parties. Two, you have to be talking to a girl for at least about a half hour into the party. Three, you have to word it correctly. You can't just be like; 'YOU DOWN TO FUCK'? No, you have to be more like 'Hey, you wanna get out of here'? It's a method!"
I've never done it myself (not quite like that), but to his credit, he's a pretty good looking guy and he has no real problem getting girls. I HAVE seen him do it.

I don't think the world is so cut and dry, and if anyone were to fall for something that you copied from a self-help book or a topic on RMN, that person probably isn't very deep.
but I like boys so what the hell do I know
This man is correct in my highly inflexible and disclaimer-worthy opinion. Anytime someone solicits advice on how to "approach" a girl like she's a tricky block-pushing puzzle, offering no specific insight into the girl herself, just makes me think the one who asks is so inexperienced that they view romance as a dating sim. Their failure is almost guaranteed.
Although I suppose it would work on women who are stupid and/or have had an astonishing lack of healthy relationships/male figures. Cue "how to approach a stripper you're attracted to" thread*.
To me the "right" mindset to have when meeting individuals of whatever gender you are attracted to is the same one we use when making/choosing our friends, namely that there are two kinds of people in the world: ones who will accept and appreciate you for who you are, and ones who can fuck off.
PS if all you're out to do is get laid then several of my friends have a depressingly high level of success with the method Feld describes above
*go to her first, pay for a dance, don't be a regular, compliment her tats, ask her what her life goals are (have a drink in your hand so you can pretend to take a sip whenever you feel the urge to laugh during her reply to this one)

But like I said, the sociology behind attractiveness and human dating/pairing is predictable enough where general advice like the advice given in the first post is generally true. 'Make the girl laugh', 'don't be a doormat' and 'listen a lot' is pretty basic, yet effective 'advice' because while everyone is a 'unique little special flower', we're all human and bound by the same social restraints/rules/standards/atmosphere as everyone else. "How to approach a girl" advice is about as controversial as "How to make friends at a new place" or "How to not make everyone hate you" because believe it or not, a lot of people are generally the same and treat this sort of thing pretty similarly outside of their 'innermost personality shell.'
Sure, once you get to KNOW the girl/guy more specific and custom tailored methods come into place, but generally if you're trying to just meet new people and get to know people of the opposite sex in a non threatening/nonsupercommited manner, then yeah, the original posts advice is pretty solid.

See what you're not getting is that this is just the general basics.
And you say this topic won't help anyone? Thats where you're mistaken.
I've seen it work. In my younger brothers, friends and others.

I love the amount of people in this community that believe they are absolute experts at getting women.
the secret as to why you can't get women in the first place? every girl every changes their mind every five seconds, good luck formulating that dr. love
I'm no expert at getting women and I never claimed to be (Read the first 7 lines of this topic).
Every girl changes their mind about what every 5 seconds?
You should read the topic again....

Straight up honey really I'm askin
Most of these niggaz think they be mackin but they be actin
Who they attractin with that line, "What's your name what's your sign"
Soon as he buy that wine I just creep up from behind
And ask what your interests are, who you be with
Things to make you smile, what numbers to dial
You gon' be here for a while, I'm gon' go call my crew
You go call your crew
We can rendezvous at the bar around two
Plans to leave, throw the keys to Lil Cease
Pull the truck up, front, and roll up the next blunt
So we can steam on the way to the telly go fill my belly
A t-bone steak, cheese eggs and Welch's grape
Conversate for a few, cause in a few, we gon' do
What we came to do, ain't that right boo
Forget the telly we just go to the crib
and watch a movie in the jacuzzi smoke l's while you do me
dammit mog how can you get away with this
oh right you're black
No guide will ever give you the balls to go out and do this if you couldn't do it before reading it. No matter what there is always a chance to fail and sometimes it just ain't your fault.

Wait a sec, didn't we already agree the accidental buttock touch was the only surefire method?

Well, I was only referring to the straight people. But that's a better question: How does one go about approaching a fifteen-year-old boy without coming off as a pedophile?

@Feld:
Certainly can't say you're wrong on any points, but I have seen some tragic failures caused by people taking advice too literally/too far/ignoring the responses and signals given by the recipient of their advances. My stance on the whole thing is that knowing how to act upon this basic advice so that you still seem pretty much like your normal self is just as important as getting that basic advice to begin with. However, I'm also of the opinion that if you're perceptive enough to know the former, the latter is kinda pointless and can only distract you from "being yourself".
Cliches aside, "be yourself" is excellent advice not only because of the trite "they have to like you for you" spill we've all heard but just because people in general (not just the ladies) are more comfortable getting to know/like you if they don't think you're modifying your behavior/trying too hard/shitting your pants because you want something from them.
The fact that these discussions inevitably turn into gigantic expositions on everyone's differences of opinion kinda tells me that basic social constructs only go so far :p
Also:
I'm pretty interested to read and engage you on anything specific you have to say about this and I promise not to dismiss your opinions out of hand or generally be a douchebag to you about it, scout's honor.

With candy and a van. Or go with just a van if you're working on a budget.
