@anthonypillarella: Replying to @sarahssslays Oh I love a challenge, let's do it. It's also a REALLY good chance to demonstrate romantic intensity offsets because it's such a direct opening line. So...thanks for basically asking me how to hit on someone hahaha #charisma #socialskills #datingadvice #meetingpeople #datingadviceformen
A friend saw this and had a great point to add: If you're talking to someone who is in a commonly fet.ishized subculture (think emo/goth/trans women), "you are my type" will almost always feel bad. "I thought you looked cute" is a MUCH safer way to go.

You can say ANYTHING to a man, and if you meet minimum attractiveness level, he’ll assume you guys are flirting, and you’re already set. “I like your face.” “What detergent do you use?” “Did that guy just fart?” It’s different for women. And it should be.

I feel like all the criticisms are from people imagining someone they are *not* attracted to doing this. if somone I *was* attracted to did this I would be thrilled.

I think the “pre baked rejection” statement can signal a lack of confidence tho so it could backfire

I love this so much because it’s like the if you took the evil and fucked up thing that is “pickup artists” and instead gave real advice on how to talk to a person in a way that starts a meaningful connection

As a girl I will say I also highly suggest doing this after talking a bit/getting a vibe… that way you know at least there is some chemistry if yall hangout haha

My approach would be to just be friendly. If not returned, just move on. If it’s reciprocated I would drop compliments and subtle hints. If not returned, just stay friendly & move on. If it is reciprocated, you slowly escalate and exchange contact.

I'm interested to know more about your favourite rejection now, if you'd be willing to share?

when and where are we expected to do this? i have such an easier time on the apps. it might just be anxiety but i can’t imagine approaching outside of parties/when going out

Okay but what happens if I answer the second way because I'm terribly anxious 😭 not that it's ever happened to me or would happen, but I know in that situation I would 100% shut down mentally and not know what to do lmao

Hey! I love your content and have a question. you always talk about great ways of talking to people in person and it usually goes quite well, my problem is when I try to talk to people virtually, I always feel like I'm annoying people or have no way of creating conversations without it feeling like it's out of context, do you have any advice?

wibblymoon :
No. If you didn’t think of an actual reason that I would want to talk to YOU, nope. Male attraction is not enough reason to bother a woman. Look at your surroundings. Look at her. THINK of a reason to bother her. The park you’re at. The food she’s eating. The funny sign nearby. Her fandom shirt. If you don’t think first, she should not entertain you at lol.

Honestly, I like your vibe. I think you have good intentions and that matters. I disagree though.

it’s interesting that it being clearly romantic is part of why it’s strange to say this. i feel like it can seem too sexual, but my perception was that women preferred to be directly approached rather than befriended w/ romantic intent

one way to incorporate the pre-baked rejection is to make a clear but low stakes request. something like - "can I chat with you for a bit? no hard feelings if you say no" or even the classic "can I buy you a drink/basket of fries/etc?"
it spares the person you're trying to flirt with from having to create an opening to reject you (which is a horribly awkward experience and can feel impolite/mean)

This is very interesting. You nailed it with the give them 47 different ways to reject you if you simply MUST be the most direct person on the face of the earth
