Women in public, no matter how they're dressed, are not "inviting" ANYTHING.

351. She can talk or not talk.

First of all, just like she cannot read minds, I cannot read her mind and tell whether she is annoyed by all the people that have tried to talk to or even IF alot of people have tried to talk to her.

No, she cannot immediately tell if I am a nice guy. But if she chooses to talk, she may find out.

Why would you think so poorly of women;s ability to handle a "hello" that you would deny both men and women the agency in how to manage social interactions. I find it a very condescending attitude.

If the woman wants to ignore me, frown, smile, laugh, spit, giggle or whatever, why can you not give her the credit that she is able to do those things?

And as for your assumption that it is a pickup line that will "get them somewhere"... that speaks so poorly of your attitude towards people. Yes, all relationships are transactional in some way; that is to say that everyone WANTS something from another person...but to reduce it to that is really sad and unkind.

What if you saw someone reading the same book as you and you sensed a kindred spirit? What if you recognized someone from the movie theater showing of Singing In The Rain? Etc. etc, etc, etc.
