I don't really like it because all the guys that hit on me have no skill. They usually ask why I'm alone, to which I'm thinking "because of people like you." Occasionally though, there is a smooth talker that can hold my interest.

Depending, if he comes at me with some lame ass pick up line, that's a red flag...if you don't have the decency to come up with something original or at least show me you put some effort into it,,,,then you probably won't put any effort into anything else concerning me.

I once had a guy say " I will tear your back out". I said I need my back. No thanks and walked away. Fool.

i dont think he's a fool because that same line worked on someone else. men only use lines or do things because it worked on someone else. creatures of habit.

just like women, we dont dress or do things because we enjoy them. naw, we do it because a dude likes it. i certainly dont dress to impress another woman.

I most likely wouldn't recognize that I was being hit on (thinking back nothing stands out)... depending on the approach/circumstances I would view it as either just being friendly or trying to be humorous - after all, I don't talk to random guys because I'm hitting on them, I'm bored and am just being random *shrugs* (my friendliness has been misconstrued as being interested though)

Depends firstly on whether or not I'm attracted. If there's no immediate chemistry then the approach doesn't matter regardless of how good it may be.

If there's an initial attraction then the rest depends on how genuine someone comes across.

As for "lines" anything original really.

Years ago I got chatted up by a guy who's line was "would you like to come back to my flat and see my new cooker?"

Made me laugh anyway. I didn't go back to his flat but he did get a date.

I love getting hit on πŸ™‚ LOL!

i agree. cheesy pick up line or graceful gesture. its an ego boost either way. shit, consider the opposite. consider no body hits on you. take it as a compliment and keep it moving. i dont want to imagine a world where no man wants to fuck me or find me attractive. kill me now.

Usually guys just tend to stare at me and not talk to me lol I don't go to bars or clubs so maybe I need to start putting myself out there more haha An old gentleman smiled at me on the subway yesterday. Does that count? lol

If I'm attracted I try to make him my best friend and follow his lead. Lots of joking around and sexual innuendos. If I want nothing to do with him but he's still cool, well have a seat and let's people watch or ill be his wing woman. If I'm totally not feeling it- ice cold ignore button.

I'm difficult to approach, challenging and very nit-picky.

The men in question better have something interesting to say/ask and must be original. The conversation must flow and you have to make me laugh. Plus I got to be in the mood to talk to you in the first place. Give me the same ole, dry, re-used pick-up line and you'll get shunned. I hate 'pick-up' lines anyway. Say something crude and you'll get shunned. If you're overtly pompous you'll get shunned. Look at my tits instead of my eyes and its game over (prick). You get the idea. You must work hard and I need to see you put in some good effort to get my digits. πŸ˜‰

Most men I've encountered don't get very far with me anyway. *shrug*

Why get so upset when he looks at your tits?

After reading this again I feel I was a little harsh....LOL. Its minor compared with the other things and in reality I don't get upset. I ignore the pervy ones and keep it moving. If said guy ticked all my other boxes, I wouldn't mind a little look at my bad gals.

+1 Pretty much sums it up for me. Everything begins and ends with the initial approach. rarely, okay, NEVER will one get a second chance if he blew the first approach...and I do absolutely hate lame ass pick up lines. Doesn't even have to be original, but Please at least try and be creative.

1. Tell guys that I'm not interested in dating (as in I'm not interested in you) but like to make friends...never happens
2. Tell guys that just friends (see #1) doesn't work bc they just want to bang me. LOVE THE SHOCKED LOOK!
3. Tell them I'm not trying to be "Hollered at" I'm in the south right now

I guess I don't let guys pick me up, I do the picking πŸ™‚ If I see a rare piece, I will walk straight up to him wherever, whenever and pounce. Thats rare because I don't "hook-up" but I do love a true alpha male.

This thread demonstrates one thing...the blueprint to a playa playing. Looks, approach, etc is nothing but a man selling you a dream...a fantasy. Funny thing is most meaningful relationships start at places like grocery stores. If a guy approaches you, you already have your guard up and thus the "game" begins. You try to make it hard for him and he pursues you. In essence, you turn yourself into a trophy. A score. Like all trophys, he puts you on the shelf to display until he gets another trophy. Then, "Help! My "insert sign" has disappeared." Truth is, all of this stuff is shallow and since the initial approach is based on that, the relationship ends up being short and shallow.

When both men and women are honest and open in the beginning, the relationship tends to last longer. Like meeting at a library. It's a place of common interests and you both have your guards down and your conversation is less likely to be based on ulterior motives and you get comfortable quickly. Meeting someone is that simple. If you want a deep relationship, go to places of depth and you're likely yo find a deep person.

Any woman can be approached no matter how bitchy she is but I don't think pick-up lines work, I only used one once.
I saw 2 girls at a bar and I approached them. I acted like I was having a panic attack, then got a paper note from my back pocket and begun to read a lame pick-up line from it in a nerdy insecure way, and then my confident cocky attitude came back. I asked them if it worked but they couldn't stop themselves from laughing. It was on.

I don't care how lame a pick up line is if it is delivered in a way that truly makes me laugh, you are in! Laughter is number one for me!

However, if I feel like you just want sex, or interested in me because of daddy's money, or you're psycho/weird/slimy guy, you're out.

I used to go to country bars quite a bit and I enjoy being asked to dance. I'll dance with most people that ask just because I like to dance. One dance doesn't mean we're going to hang all night. Besides, it takes a lot of nerve to approach a table full of women and ask one to dance. I at least respect that. During the dance, I'll talk to you for a minute. Sometimes its that one dance only and sometimes we'd end up sitting at the same table hanging out and laughing with all our friends. There have been handsome smooth guys that were duds and average looking guys that have been winners! Personality always trumps!!! I danced with a guy one night my friends made fun of me for accepting the dance - you know what, a month later he was their new best friend!! I was like, see! If I hadn't danced with him, you wouldn't even know him!! lol!

I'm a cancer leo cusp with Aqua rising.

I get hit on OFTEN

let me just say, and this doesn't sound attractive, I know.. but I expect it and it often bores me. Here we go again, some guy invading my personal space while I'm trying to buy milk, or wait for a bus or whatever. the guys *I* am attracted to would -never- approach a stranger on the street to "one line" them, so it just feels like a waste of my time, and an invasion of my personal space with your boring, heard this twenty times before crappy pick up line. yes yes I'm cute thanks for sharing, I already know this because of the LAST 30 GUYS WHO TOLD ME this week. I know that sounds really horrible but it has more to do with feeling like I want someone who likes ME because they know me, not some stranger who could see himself in my bed because of physical appearance alone, which is -so shallow- that it turns me off massively.

If I go to a place with the intention of meeting people (bar, coffee house, show, whatever) and I'm all dolled up I am very appreciative of the attention and will make an effort to flirt with you, even if just casually but If I am minding my own business and you come up to me on the street I am NOT INTERESTED.
Piss off.

I've been known to completely ignore this and keep walking, to actually making a snide remark before walking off. :/ I used to try and be polite, smile whatever.. No sorry guys are too pushy and take ANYTHING as a go ahead. ugh.

Depends on who's doing the approaching, honestly. Physical attraction is a must.

Some average looking people (men, more so) are more attractive with an awesome personality. Personality just makes them cute as a bug sometimes!

About dancing, I look at it, at minimum he could be a friend - AND, then, after we become friends, he might have some great friends he could introduce me too. Never hurts to expand your social circle.

I see so many women just rudely turn people down. And, ya know what? No one else asks them to dance! People that will dance and look like they're having fun are more attractive.
