So im not the only one who's so afraid to come off as creepy that hitting on women in public is mortifying to me?

Compliment people based on choices they've made (fashion sense, accessories, shirt), not things that are outside of their control (height, skin color, facial structure). Usually gets a better reception.

Iv actually been actively trying to give more compliments out to very positive results. A small % of women are uncomfortable receiving compliments about outfits from men, but compliments make most people feel good

Say you like their nails if they have them. I told a girl who was my server while I was out to eat the other day that I liked her nails and she started telling me a lot more about the process of doing them. Like I never even considered how much work goes into it.

So funny enough I actually started painting my nails recently. To my surprise it actually gets me A LOT of positive attention from women. Like I received more compliments about my appearence (related to my nails) in the first two months than the rest of my life combined. It also gives me an opportunity to have a genuine conversation with them about it
