I return to my previous point thou - what was he going to say to the girl after he's hunted her down Predator style on the street ?

Scanlas The 2nd wrote: » Try it out for yourself and see if you get abuse. Really well I live in Ireland and it worked for me. Sometimes it does work and sometimes it doesn't just like anywhere. I witnessed a friend of mine ask an Irish girl out in a sauna and it worked. You realise people in every country say the same things. "That might work in Australia, but there's no way it would work in New Zealand" That might work in California but there's no way it would work in Chicago.

Yeah, you got me! I’m sick with Envy. I really wish I could lose all control of myself and chase someone like you down the street. Forget the poster, you sound just great!! Nope haven’t had the odd knock back and I’d have no problem saying YES, If I did!
And judging by your 100% remark, I’d say you’ve already found your prince charming, complete with gravely drive, 4 x 4, two gorgeous kids and a Labrador, or as people like you call them “a Lab”!!
opinion guy wrote: » Oh trust me I have tried. Of course it will work some times. But the reality is there are certain cultural differences. In the US particularly its alot more acceptable for randomers to compliment each other on the street or whatever. In Ireland the default response is suspicion and abuse. There are of course exceptions to this - but on average you do stuff like this in Ireland and you are going to get yourself alot of abuse.

Scanlas The 2nd wrote: » Well I've never got abuse, the worst is a bit of a disapproving look from the woman, and I've even walked straight up to women asking them if they want to have sex, you can get away with a lot when you are unapologetic. When you are hesitant people will walk all over you in all areas of life. When you are unapologetic your sense of what's normal influences other people's sense of what is normal.

opinion guy wrote: » Oh forgive me Casanova.....or is it Adonis ???? Let me ask you this - that 80% of the time were the numbers real ??? I'm also inclined to recall that one female friend of mine often gives out her number to guys who ask....but she doesn't like being asked, finds it creepy and doesn't answer when they call. She just finds is easier to give out the number than to say no and is too honest to give a fake number.
