Oh you went to Europe on your own?

Yeah, you're exchanging glances on the bus. Want to know why? She's afraid she might get raped by your ugly ass.

Unless you decide to grow up or actually learn to be funny please don't post in my threads anymore thanks.

I disagree, I think those are perfect places! Why do you feel that way?

Where: 1280, Graffiti Night
What did he do: Called me cute, asked if I wanted to hang out
Do I like being approached: in the case, most certainly not.
How do I prefer being approached: by women.
What I look for: Personality. I prefer people with charisma who are comfortable with who they are.
Do I give my number/plan to meet up later: Depends on how well the initial meeting goes
Subtle clues: I honestly have no clue about this one.
Do I ever approach guys: No

Is that a guy approaching you? What about girls approaching you or you approaching girls?

Because its creepy? "Oh..I'm getting off here"
Guy: ME TOO!
"Oh...I live down this street"
Guy: ILL WALK YOU TO YOUR HOUSE!
"Well...here I am"
Guy: LET ME COME IN!

That's a joke right?

Oh sorry, why don't you tell us how it's done. Should I just sit outside on the bench and pray? Funny someone at university is looking down on analysis. How do you think champions get to where they are?

Well it the topic set by the OP was more or less that of guys approaching you.

While I've been at MAC, 4 girls have approached me which surprises me considering how little I get out due to my studies...

the first was also at graffiti night, but she was rather intoxicated so I had no intention of really getting to know her at that time and I blew her off. The second was at line at centro and was a little Asian girl who started off with "I find tall men attractive", which sounded rather desperate so I blew her off. the 3rd was a high school girl whom I met while I was watching the sunset down at Sassafras point. We had a lovely conversation but I have no intention of dating a 10th grader while I'm in university. The 4th was this random chick who broke into out apartment at 2am because she turned 19 and decided that meant she needed a boyfriend (I have since blackmailed my roommate into learning to lock the door behind him) Anyway she was going around the floors 'evaluating' all the guys and told me I got a 9/10 for being cute and sweet and she said she'd be back. Being 2am and me being exceptionally tired I said "Don't bother"

Interesting, how about you approaching?

This is kind of a strange series of questions?

Anyways, the underlying premise is that you should devote time thinking about 'what to do to approach women', which is the wrong approach. Just do your stuff, meet people, and some of them will happen to be women, and then you just take it from there.

The thing about your post that disagrees most with me is that you present it as law. Further, I disagree with your claim that thinking about how to approach women is the wrong approach. I will draw from an analogy: job interviews. I believe how you present yourself in a job interview has much impact on the outcome. I argue that there are many parallels to meeting and talking to people. Sure, one approach is to just "do your stuff, meet people, etc" as you state, but again let us move to the realm of jobs. When you take two candidates, one who "does their stuff", posts their resumes everywhere and the other candidate who "hits the pavement" so to speak, gets out there and talks to people, who will have a higher probability of success?

When it's about chicks talking to them is gonna get you laid. It's simple. Life is not a p+o+r+n where you'll have a chick jumping on you.

I'm sorry I don't quite understand what your post is getting at. Are you implying that somewhere I stated chicks will be jumping on me and that life is a ****?

I don't really have a method, I just end up talking with people I meet at clubs, societies, classes, etc. and I'm pretty well liked by girls. To be honest in high school I only had a close circle of 11 friends, but I was one of the only 2 guys. I'm just used to talking with girls. In fact I'm far more comfortable making friends with a girl than I am with a guy. things just natural progress from friends if you are a good person.

the only solid piece of advice I have on this topic is: girls are people too, despite what far too many guys think. If you treat them like people instead of objects and sex toys they will most likely like you better.
