Jeff Bogle’s got a handy flowchart to help you figure out what to do if an attractive woman passes you on the street.

I think reasonable people would agree that if you see someone in line at Starbucks or bump into someone in the doorway of a Game Stop, and you genuinely sense some kind of possible connection with that individual, that you or he or she are well within rights to attempt to strike up a conversation, one that might best begin with a pleasant ‘hello’ and a kind smile. That’s how people meet, in Hollywood movies and along Main Street USA. That’s classically charming and, most importantly, positively nonthreatening.
What is most definitely threatening and the opposite of charming is any circumstance where a woman of any age is passing by you on the street, on her way to somewhere, and you feel the sudden urge, whether alone or with your boys, to call out to her, to follow her, to whistle at her, to make sexual advances and gestures towards her, to assume your pseudo-compliment is requested, wanted or appreciated, to assume that this woman of any age on her way to somewhere is fingers-crossed wishing you’d pay her some attention, and waiting to hear exactly where you’d like to stick your dick inside her.
She is not waiting, wanting, wishing, or hoping for any of this and you are a colossal, scary, evil asshole for presuming she is.
And so I’ve created this easy to follow flow chart that should pretty much explain to all men how they should act while walking down the street.

Ask yourself if the grief you are likely to get is worth the effort. If not, move on.
Cool. I can work with that, but at the same time, Ladies… You don’t get to pull shit like this anymore:

Why? Sounds like he was pretty successful at it.
Are we really helping with this kind of paranoia at a time when people stare at screens more than they talk to each other? Your chart is like the one foolproof trick to get less wrinkles ; never smile again. Here’s a trick about communication that everyone, no matter their gender, should hear; you can’t hear just the words that you want to hear, in the place that you want to hear it, from the person you want to hear it, at the time you want to hear it, on the precise tone of voice you want to hear it… Read more »
HOW FREAKING RETARDED. I’ve met many women by talking to them on the street in a non-creepy way to just politely ask their phone number, IT’S TOTALLY FINE and most of them don’t mind being hit on. It’s the creepy and unrespectful approach they hate.
Get your facts straight man.
Walking down the street, minding your own business, usually doesn’t warrant being approached but you are correct that it’s fine if the person is polite. It can be a bit uncomfortable but if you are talking to them like a human being (aka respectfully) it’s acceptable to do! This article is specifically about harassment, not seeing someone and liking something about them that makes you want to get to know them!
I’ve accidentally been doing everything right all along. Anti-social dudes for the win!
