@@herculesbrofister265 it was a joke man. I know that alot of pickup artists incorporate push-pull, where they tease a woman to create tension and then they compliment them to release the tension. Its a simple demonstration of confidence and it works if its genuine, because it shows that you are not afraid to make a statement that may offend. Pull- push on the other hand is just stupid, because why would you compliment someone and then take it back. It just comes across as rude.

[@mrpenis3625]

I’m no intelligent scientist on women all I am is just a woman, but it’s really not gonna get you laid if you say they look pretty

[@cheyemily6066]

Additionally 3 more things are happening: The first one is that women get complimented on their looks a lot, and when somebody compliments your looks, a girl's mind goes to "Oh no, they want to have s3x with me", that's an uncomfortable feeling. You don't want to make the other person feel like you're up for whatever they are imagining, so rejecting is always the safest option. Second, since women get complimented on their looks all the time, it becomes tired and bored and borderline meaningless. If you want to compliment somebody, you've got to compliment other things. Their style, their makeup, their intelligence, their voice, etc. Something original that will stand out. And finally, last but not least, try to NEVER approach people when they are out and about. People are busy, minding their business. They aren't in Target or Wallmart looking for romance. When you derrail a person from what they are doing, that is annoying. If you want to approach people it is better to do it in slow paced environments. A park if they are sitting on the sun and chilling, or at a coffee shop, or more traditionally at a bar. If you want to make your life easy, slip them a piece of paper with your phone number on it and dip. Leave the ball on their court.

[@dextershelby5780]

I think that the environment it's important too however I think that if you make the interaction natural you can have a more opened person rather than you just make explicit that you have romantic or sexual interesting. Like in the part that he approach the woman in the market, if he started with "Hi, I'm here to buy *thing that the woman was buying*, and you" or "can you help me?" just to start a natural conversation beginning by there.

The thing is men really aren’t looking for friendships with women. If a man doesn’t insinuate right away that he is looking for a romantic relationship the girl will usually friendzone him unless she’s very attracted to him. It’s a low risk but also low reward strategy trying to befriend a girl when your goal is to achieve a romantic relationship with her.

One time I was at a club and I saw this pretty woman sitting alone. I kept checking her out and decided to hit on her. Anyway, I got up and walked towards her location. She was about 80ft away and I had to go around the side and approach her from the back because she was sitting on a raised platform. Anyway, I make it to her and tap her shoulder to get her attention and already had a plan of what I was going to say. She turns around and she was lets say not as pretty from close up. I was not at all attracted to her. This threw me off and without thinking I said what I had planned on saying beforehand (the jist was that I saw her from across the room and felt compelled to come over and introduce myself). Not to sound arrogant, but I’m a decent looking guy. Attractive enough to garnish the attention of pretty women. Anyway, the woman I was hitting on was pleasantly surprised and asked in an excited way “really?! you actually did?”. My brain had shut off and all I could think about was how to get the fuck out of there. So I played it like I was offended that she questioned me/didn’t believe me and just left lmao.

It's not a breach of privacy when you're being recorded in a public place for the simple fact that due to its public nature there is no reasonable expectation of privacy. But just because it's legal doesn't mean it's _not_ creepy.

[@Big.DaddyDagothUr]

Kind of sucks in today's world where men can't flirt with women without being seen as creeps but at the same time women think that's its a MANS job to flirt and never take the initiative. That's why the birth rate is so low. Nobody fucks anymore because flirting is now seen as socially awkward. Idk.

[@desykee3088]

As women we learn very quickly 80% of the time men aren’t calling you over or trying to talk to you without an ulterior motive. I’ve met maybe 1 or 2 men who genuinely wanted to just be friends and those were in school, a more socially acceptable place to talk to strangers. Chances are in random public places they’re going to bug the shit out of you and ask for your number and be either cool or complete creeps. You learn to stop being nice.

Creepy ulterior motive? Guy was attracted to her and wanted to flirt and possibly get her number, I don’t think he was trying to steal her identity or kidnap her. As far as context from the clip, we don’t see how she reacted or what happened afterwards. Maybe he got the number, maybe they became friends, maybe he got rejected again and walked away. Who knows, but I don’t think this shattered this girls world view on being kind to others. I’m pretty sure she can handle being told she is attractive. I doubt she’s never heard this before.

[@ItsAMalkavianThing]

Last time I was friendly back to one of those guys on the bus, even the "I have a boyfriend" line didn't work and he stopped where I stopped. I was going to visit a friend at work at a Uni campus coffee shop and he insisted that I followed him to his place, no natter how many times I told him no. He seemed...not all there as well. He followed me in, kept trying to ask me why not and why I wouldn't follow him back to his place, and that's when I stopped being fearful and just exploded at him to fuck off and the campus security had been alerted by my friend when I told her what was happening. He finally left. According to her, he came by each day for a week scouting the area, thinking I was working there I suppose since I was hanging out behind the counter. I promised myself I wouldn't be as friendly ever again with strange men, because goddamn it bit me in the ass, as I'm usually a very sociable person. It was horrifying. I just wish guys would understand why we feel the need to be distant and even cold when approached like that sometimes, because too many of em take advantage of your friendliness, and see it as a green light to pester you and stalk you.

[@LuvThyMind29]

I was nice to an international student in a college class because I figured it wasn't easy fitting in there. The guy would literally turn around in his seat and try to give seductive faces to me during class, so I should've known he'd never take no for an answer...I agreed to hang out one day, specifying just as friends, and he kept going on about bringing me home to meet his family, wanting to build a kingdom for me where I would be his queen, wanted to take a picture of me so he could show his family, got down on his knee in front of people and pretended to propose to me...I started walking fast to get away from him, saying I needed to get laundry and stuff done and he asked if he could hang out in my dorm while waiting for the laundry...I said "No" and rushed into my dorm building alone. I didn't agree to meet up with him again but he was still trying to text me asking if I would come to his dorm to watch a movie a couple times to which I said no. Anytime I saw him on campus I felt uncomfortable. He'd stare at me from across the dining halls while I ate with friends and my friends would try to tell me it was cute, that I should give him a chance ("Well give him *your* number then!" They didn't.) What a fucking horrible situation I'd put myself in just trying to be friends with that guy.

Bothering anyone when they’re just out in public is never good. People are just trying to work or shop. Women get approached by weird men constantly. Don’t be one of them

Ah yes, take it from me: it is much better to approach someone while they're within the private confines of their own home if you want to get to know them. Works like a charm every time.

Exactly, approaching anyone when they're preoccupied in public is rarely going to work. People would have better success at events that encourage socializing, like parties, clubs/meetups for specific interests, or conventions.
