I've heard a ton of women complain about men hitting on them. I usually just pursue women I already know because of this. But the TRP suggests we try to pick up women we desire in public places.

  1. Does hitting on strangers work? (Do women respond well to it and like men that hit on them).

  2. Does hitting on strangers ever turn out really bad (like the woman or her friends criticize you for hitting on them).

  3. Shouldn't you wait for a sign of interest from the woman first? In my experience, every woman I've been with gave me some invitation or sign of interest that then made me pursue them. After all, women are the choosers aren't they?

I know TRP isn't into moralizing. I'm not exactly asking about morality, I'm asking if hitting on new women is actually a good idea that can be effective.

Of course the WAY you hit on them matters. But I've assumed in the past that women don't like to be hit on by even polite strangers. Then again, there's got to be some way to get ladies, and going for people you know is limiting.

Should I feel totally fine about hitting on strangers?

Edit: Thank you all for the encouraging insightful comments!
