    I am just saying if trying to be friendly and getting to know someone in and of itself makes them a creep, knowing nothing about them and acting accordingly, I say it says as much about YOU to make that judgement. Indifference is ok when it comes to personalities.
    I think if you approach someone randomly on the street, its always creepy, male of female. We have places and events and even jobs where you can socialize and meet people.

    Ok fair enough, I respect peoples personal boundaries.

    You're aware that there are people who go there alone or with just one friend with the intention of going home with someone from there? Someone going there in groups could go home with someone too if they mesh well.

    Well, good luck socializing in life.

    My very first best friend I met on my street when I was 5 or something. I walked up to him and we played together. Then he said "you're my friend now".

    I've literally made friends from everywhere. People I met on the street, people I met at conventions, people I met in shops. There is no limit.

    You don't always know what people are going through. They may be having a bad day so they take your genuine niceness as sarcasm since they've just met you.

    Weird. How do people get to know each other then?

    It seems like a paradox.

    Through co-workers/acquaintances/friends inviting their friends/acquaintances to house parties or other social settings for the most part.

    Who said that telling her she's cute would be the only thing I'd say to her? You think I'm just gonna call her cute and wait for her to suck my dick? It's just an opener.

    Sure if they are looking like trhis




    but what if they look like this



    Social cues can oftentimes be wrong about who is dangerous and who isn't. Used to be an initiative called "Stranger Danger" Which actually gave a lot of false and misleading impressions

    Now I agree at a job or professional business or setting any of this is inappropriate, not because it isn't normal but because it comes with it's own baggage of issues.


    The truth is from my perspective Honesty is what I look for over anything else, I mean of course everybody lies, but what do they lie about what is their motive, or process of thinking.

    And I think @Frieghter is not far off on her instincts she really isn't off at all. But the problem is though is the idea that rules and cues which many times keeps us safe always do, or in some cases completely wrong.


    Someone who walks up and is an idiot speaks whatever is on their mind and I follow their pattern of thought, I find them a hell of a lot less creepy that those that will sing or speak sweetly but hide their motives or agendas.


    That isn't to say I approve of being vulgar, but I pick people who are honest as being more trustworthy whether I like them or not over those who aren't

    They start by not being creepy towards people.

    Are you going up to random people doing their grocery shopping? They probably want you to fuck off because they didn't come to the grocery store to get hit on by some creep.

    compliments, flirts and whatever are expected.


    complimenting random strangers you see walking down the street just makes you look like a creep.

    What are you talking about? If you can walk up to them and say "hi" and get a bitchy reaction, what has that person done wrong? Oh, he wasn't worth their time at a place where people go to socialize.

    But then when people come up with inventive openers, you call that manipulative. Go figure.

    Point is, even though people are saying here that bars and clubs are the places to pick up women, a lot of elements there make it actually harder to do so. Some girls are just unapproachable, while girls walking home from work are a lot more approachable.

    Girls going out partying together might not be available to guys at all, because they don't wanna abandon their friends.

    Then why do some people react positively? What are you basing this on?

    Stop evading the question. Your response didn't even make sense. Why would me knowing game mean I can tell when a guy wants sex? Game is about getting women into bed. I don't know how to read the motives of guys.

    Some people just want to be left alone when walking home from work. Especially since in 9 out of 10 cases, opening a conversation with someone by telling them that they are cute means that you'll try to hit on them in some way.

    But the most entertaining of all is that introverts in this thread believes that sitting on a public bench in a public park in a public city of a public county of a public state disqualifies them from being interacted with with members of the public.

    If you don't want to interact with the public, stay out of public places . If you want privacy, there are many private organizations you can join that have private parks and private walkways.
    Thankfully, I'm blessed with having my neutral face look quite angry. So the only people that generally talk to me are people looking for directions, and fucking canvassers. Also, I don't even acknowledge people around me until they explicitly start talking to me.

    This is rather effective, I've made it through many classes where I didn't talk to a single person in the class the whole semester. It was beautiful.

    I'll let you guess, some people have already mentioned various factors that plays into it but you seem oblivious to it and think it's not giving off that vibe.

    I think if I was called cute vs sexy, I would be kind of pissed, I rather be ugly or monstrous looking than cute, but sexy, yeah, sexy would be cool.
