I think you might be thinking of another place. The old Westgate was on 34th and Bow Trail - nowhere near Macleod Trail.

- grab an Archie comic, sit, wait, look cool
- go to the New Age/Alternative section, look for totally freaky girl reading something about how the pyramids are really spaceships, ask her, "Have you heard about the healing power of anonymous sex?"
- borrow baby from unsuspecting sibling or very close friend to push around store in stroller. Lie and tell admirers "I've always wanted one of my own, but I just can't find a woman that shares my love of intimate dinners, travel, and shopping." (This also works at the grocery store, but you will get a lot more old ladies, which is ok I guess if you are some kind of perv)
- Two words: Tom Clancy
- Dress up as knight in shining armour, go to Fantasy/SF section, wait for princess

Grocery Store
- Hit the produce aisle, position yourself near melons. Make suggestive eyebrow wiggles and gently fondle while staring into her eyes
- Ask her if she likes ice cream. All women like ice cream.
- Simulate heart attack when she walks past by clutching at your chest and saying, "Ay yi yi! Such beauty is not for mortal eyes to contemplate!"
- Rent airline pilot's uniform, push cart up and down aisles. Dislodge extra women from cowcatcher before leaving store, take the rest home.
- Take gay friend with you, allow him to do all the talking. When she makes the inevitable assumption that you are his boyfriend, correct her and say, "Actually I prefer my hot dirty sex with women like you."
- Ask for help with hair care products - women love nattering on and on about hair. Continue looking perplexed, then ask if she would mind demonstrating the correct usage of said products by taking a shower with you so you can see exactly what she is talking about.

There you go! Heck, it's not even noon yet so you have the rest of the day to try these out - let me know how it goes!

I've never had bad service there. It's funny, usually as soon as I walk in the door the bartender is already pouring my beer.

You would be surprised how far a simple "hi my name is...." will take you.

A few summers ago, I was shopping in at Sobeys where I always start out in the produce section. There was a heavyset elderly lady there looking down into a large cardboard box that was on the floor. At first, I thought maybe she was sick, or something, and walked by closely for a look. She was looking down at very large watermelons in the bottom of the box and obviously wondering how she could get one out of there.

She looked up at me and I simply asked, “do you know which one you want?” She said she wanted the largest one in the corner of the box, so I got it and put it in her cart and walked off.

Before I got too far, a very pretty woman of the correct age group came up and thanked me for helping the old woman, saying that she would have but I beat her to it. We talked less than a minute, then continued on our own ways shopping.

Except . . . every isle, for the next three isles, there she was. So, of course we said hello again. By the fourth isle, we were laughing about it and I asked, “who’s following who here?” More laughter, and she answered, “I don’t really know.” So, I simply suggested that we walk the isles together, then no one is following anyone. And so we walked and talked while shopping, till the frozen foods section. I left her there because I never buy that stuff.

Ha, but guess who was right behind me in the check out line. . . .

Later I noticed that we shop there on the same days often so we always stop to talk for a while. Nothing wrong with that.

"Those are some absolutely gorgeous melons!"
"Oh.. uh.. you mean these?"
"No, I mean your tits."

[Dion]

Another time i'm out buying some groceries and this pretty gal is trying to decide which melon she's going to buy. She holds up both and asks me which one is bigger.

Firefly, don't feel bad... the girl that I'm going to marry one day is adventuring through the jungles of Papa New Guinea with no particular interest in returning to Canada, and doesn't have any attraction to me at all, as I found out first-hand in New Zealand earlier this year. That's harder to make happen than meeting anybody public right off the bat. Have faith! It'll happen, I guarantee it.

BTW, SeeGeeWhy: I still can't get that grilled-cheese sandwich comment out of my head, I still laugh hysterically whenever I think of it...

Real subtle, I'm just waiting for her older brother to come crashing through the imaginary door to defend the honor of his sister, by handing out liberal doses of nuggies, wet willies, and the ever incredible dirt sandwich.

[Locke]

If we asked her out we would totally kill this thread. Whats more important to you man, a thread on CP or a chance at the show?

Yeah, I thought so!




I dont know where this was going but it seemed funny at the time.

[CaptainCrunch]

Err Locke, I think you said the quiet part loud and the loud part quiet there.

I love this thread.
I can just picture Firefly and all of her hot friends (yes she has lots of them) sitting around just laughing at this thread (they're probably all in their PJ's reading this right now).
Come on guys, isnt it obvious? This thread was created as a joke. Seriously no girl has problems picking up/meeting guys at a bar!

Thread. . . useless . . . pictures.

I think instead of sitting around in their P.J's laughing, I'm sure that Firefly and her hot friends are sitting around in their P.J.s having a pillow fight.

Attractive women get approached by men everyday, several times a day. You can see it on the street, in coffee shops, libraries and the usual bar/club scene. Sometimes it's obvious, other times it's more indirect but the intent is there. If you're not getting approached by men then figure out what's off, at least you have the easy role...
