approaching women

Deja Boo

Thread title reminds me of some old educational film from National Geographic, "ways to approach a wild animal" .... Interestingly, the advice is sound either way

"Let them approach you rather than you racing up to them. Always move slowly, so you don't startle them. If they growl, stop touching them, and move away!" :eek:

He should move to Carrigaline,as the monsters,and they are the biggest" Wans" I've ever come across , would be delighted at a bit of attention

I lived in Carrigaline for five years... Odd place regarding women... Sometimes during the summer, there'd be absolute stunners, and then, for the remainder of the year, not so much. My house is in the outskirts of Carrigaline, and there are some good looking women in the same estate.

It's just like anywhere really. There's a wide range regarding attractiveness.

There was a thread on the go a good few years back and the gist of it was that the op was trying to initiate a conversation with some girl on the bus. She was staring out the window basically pretending not to notice, he was determined though so she took the extra measure of putting earphones in. The lovestruck op was relentless in his attempts to woo the fair maiden however and wasn't fazed by her polite rejections. He then upped his game and YANKED the f*ckin things out of her head, got up in her face and goes 'Hi I'm *John I saw you when I got on the bus and couldn't help but notice youve got beautiful/gorgeous/amazing.. eyes/arse/tits. At this point yer one, presumably terrified told him in no uncertain terms to **** off. Well the op was seemingly very upset by this and took to After Hours to let off steam resulting in one of the funniest threads I've ever read.

I think that chap is still in prison or some mental institution

It wasn't the bus , it was the LUAS, the stuck up fcuk over reacted and then some ol bloke started being a Braveheart and started acting the bollix saying I had to get off the LUAS now.

Seriously if that was you! I'm curious what was going through your head when everything went pear-shaped?

I find that very attractive in a man.
That confidence is very sexy.
I have been approached and cards laid clearly on the table and regardless of wether or not I am attracted to that person I think well good for you anyway and we'd normally have a laugh anyway.
Ireland needs more of this.

Or the guy that shagged a girl in a field and then left her there and got a taxi home. That was a good one.

Yeah the very fact that you curse the poor girl and refer to the decent man trying to protect her in those terms, and the very fact that youre too ignorant to take the hint and take NO for an answer says everything you need to know about you. I wouldnt want to meet you on a dark night, im serious. You sound deranged and a danger to women.

When I worked as an electrician, we used classify apprentices by wattage , it being the unit of power.
It's also used to measure the level of light given of by a light bulb , so a 60 watt light bulb would give off a lot more light than 20watt light bulb , lighting being measured in lumens.
So a smart intelligent apprentice would be called 100watt and a dim one , 10 watt.

I shall call you 4 watt , cause you're not the brightest if you believed me and my story about the LUAS.

I've never approached woman in my life as I know my place in this life, woman do not want an ugly man with mental illnesses however they would accept the mental illnesses if you are handsome. If I started chatting to women on the street the only action I will be getting is when I drop my soap in the prison showers.

I love the extremes you see on threads like this about how you should - or should never - approach women on the street.

Context and nuance and empathy. You can approach anyone on the street - male or female - so long as you have a bit of cop on about it. Some women on the thread have told us what it feels like to be approached at times. But why gender it? If it is a dark night and you are alone and no one else is around - it is not only women who feel the touch of terror when a stranger walks out of the dark at them.

But I have been practising close up magic for years - and "mentalism" magic - and both of these absolutely require you approach absolute strangers to practice it. And it does not take that much experience - or cop on - to learn when is a good time to approach someone and when not. Jesus it must be freaky enough for someone to have a stranger emerge out of the dark saying "Pick a card any card" - so I can only imagine what it must be like to have one materialise saying "youuuus so preettyyyy my preschious"

Never heard this said of women, heard it of plenty by men though...

Never really took to him at all. I would spend a lot more time following Derren Brown.

I think one difference is while both of them use some cheap off the shelf magic toys in their act - Brown puts some effort into distracting you from that and building up a whole story and act and message or even lesson of his own around it. You come away from it with more than just the magic act. He makes it about the audience.

Whereas Barry just uses the off the shelf product as is with no flair. For example I have the same trick blindfold Barry bought to drive cars with and Barry put no effort at all into using it in his TV Show. No original spin or theatre about it. Just slapped the blindfold on - and said "Look at me I can drive!" basically. He makes it just about him.

Maybe he has gotten better over the years - I have not watched him. Is he still around or did the RTE and the public just bore of him?
