"did you slap fletcher reed today?"

Does someone have the rest of the photo set or video.... For research.

Nothing, I don't like small talk with strangers.

Boobs are not supposed to be a solid blob... What have you done to them?

I wouldn't say anything because some women find elevator pickup attempts intimidating.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 hours ago (3 children)

Tbf women say they find just interacting with men at all intimidating, see: Bears. I just don't talk to anyone anymore tbh.

I'm gonna die alone with my cats, but at least I won't be called creepy for asking a woman out for coffee!

Use the apps

No, privacy nightmare.

Don't trust what the loud voices say.

Many, if not most, women are normal humans like you, looking for interaction like you.

That's just wrong and putting a blanket statement for no reason.

Edit: Whoops wrong comment! H/o.

Sure it's a blanket statement, so you're of the opinion I should be asking more strangers out in public then?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago

Don't start talking to them with the intent to ask them out. Just see if you can get their attention, see of you can find a little bit of common ground to build a conversation on, then, if they are receiving you well over the course of your conversation, say something like "hey, I enjoyed talking to you, would you mind meeting up some other time?" or something to that effect. This works best in places for socializing, bars, music venues, hobby spaces, etc. It can be applied to more formal places, just has to happen over a broader period of time, as you get to know your coworkers, or whatever.

The strong vibes of "my intent in talk to you is to have sex" is, often, what makes things uncomfortable. So, even if you can't find common ground, or the conversation went well and she turns you down, or gives some non-committal answer, and you part ways amicably, you will have not be seen as some creep.

It's possible to talk to random women without seeming intimidating. Always leave an easy out. Don't be pushy. Be casual. The thing people don't get is they try to just fish for numbers. Sometimes, just a compliment and never talking to her again is what you need.

But, the best way to meet new people for relationships is to meet new friends. Every person you meet opens a ton of opportunities for experiences and connections.

No that's not fair, they do not. Don't be creepy in the elevator, or alone in the woods, or anywhere else where you guys are gonna say "because of the implication".

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Also don't ask women out at the gym, at work, in a store, on the street, or any hobby where they just want to enjoy themselves and not have to be asked out politely or otherwise.

The only acceptable places according to women are on the apps and in bars, or church supposedly if you're one of those.

I don't do the privacy violating apps, I don't drink much anymore, and both of those are more "hook up" culture while I want like "an actual relationship," and church just isn't for me. Like, I could go hang out but I'm not going to believe in your gods, and that is a point of contention with the faithful.

Why don't you use websites without using apps?

Way back when I was single, I could pick up a woman without even having to corner her.

"Nice uhh, b-leather we're having, uh."

"why don't you drop them drawers and let me tap that ass one good time?"

Well, Pac-man was originally called Puck-man. They changed it because... Not because Pac-man looks like a hockey puck. "Paku Paku" means "flap your mouth", and they were worried that people would change, scratch out the P turn it into an F, like...

Well, considering the only elevator I take is to a secure area, I'd ask to see your visitor's badge and inform you civilians aren't allowed here unescorted.

I got a gift card from the airport for challenging the "secret shopper" once. Apparently had walked past four actual employees before I challenged him. I was on my way to the jobsite.

Get in the lift.

Stare while ripping an absolutely rancid fart that strips the enamel off her teeth.

Sharpie my number across her tits and give her "double-guns" on the way out

Honest flirtatious answer: I’d say nice dress and match the energy and vibe of her response.

Not flirtatious answer: ”it always feels weird how you can notice the acceleration in tall elevators”

[–] [email protected] 10 points 13 hours ago

You don't have the proper PPE for the radiologically controlled area.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 12 hours ago

"Damn! You do wonderful things for that dress." But only if I have an available exit to walk away after. That one's too forward for the actual elevator ride. Leave her an out, and also an opening.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 16 hours ago

Nothing because I'm taking the stairs
