A couple days ago I posted about the weird encounter I had with a guy in a mall. Well I have an update for you. I was walking through the mall last night trying to find a top for New Years Eve when I saw the same guy talking to another girl. As I walked by I could hear him pretty much saying the same thing that he said to me.
You guys I am very offended here. I thought I was special and "artistic". Turns out I'm just another girl in the mall who happened to walk by this guy so he decided to use his "smooth moves" on me. I guess I'll have to stop telling people I'm an artist and move on with my life.
Lol I didn't know people actually tried to pick people up at the mall in real life...
ReplyDeleteI know right? Maybe at age 14 but this guy was in his 20s.
DeleteShe probably would have been thankful for the out

ReplyDeleteHey Gina, I'm really happy I had the chance come across your blog. (full disclosure, I actually make a living teaching men how to talk to women) I'm a bit confused, he seemed to have found you attractive and wanted to get to know you and put his ego aside to get that chance, yet you belittle his efforts. Although you found him not quite the Casanova as he'd personally hope to be I commend him for doing something so few men have courage to do. It seems if he frequents the mall often to talk to women which is awesome! it has nothing to do with how special you are to him (which shouldn't bother you either way) and more to do with him working on himself and his insecurities as a man. If he continues to learn he will be great at communicating with women and many girls he will approach will be lucky to have met him as he would be as lucky to have met them.
ReplyDeleteYes Gia, men should talk to women they find attractive in a mall, train, street, coffee shop, gym really where ever... I find this way more romantic than a club/bar. Its interesting actually, most guys here in America or in Asia (actually had a Japanese girlfriend say Japanese men are cowards, yikes!) feel so shameful about approaching women when I visit other countries in Europe, Africa, Australia, Russia those men do this all them time.
Cheers,
Mike
Thank you for your comment Michael. While I appreciate the efforts of a man wanting to talk to a woman they find attractive, I do not like is being used as "practice". If you want to talk to me that's fine but I was also was rushing through the mall with many bags in my hand and my head phones in. I mentioned to him that I was in a rush and had to pick up prescriptions at the drug store and I felt uncomfortable with the personal questions he was asking such as "what medicine are you picking up".
DeleteI also find it a bit insulting that he says the same thing to each woman he approaches. That shows me we are objects to him and he is using us for "practice". This is why woman are skeptical of men who approach them. They usually are not genuine or are very pushy.
Yaaaay PUA scum!
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed by your measured response above, too...
It was not easy but I let Gina type it since it was addressed to her.
