I don't get this. It is hard enough in a bar but how do you go about in a funeral?.... Wanna go back to my place and try the new box of tissue?

Won’t they just think that you’re stupid if you see an “I’m the Bride” sash and conclude that it’s a birthday party?

Any attention is good attention when you are the type of person to treat a bar like a hunt. Very weird imo.

10/10 would think OP is an absolute idiot or clearly trying to manipulate. Either way, this is a dumb opinion from a frat bro, and definitely not a LPT any respectful person should consider. If OP had balls they wouldn’t need to lie their way into a conversation, they’d just talk to the group as if he actually respected them and didn’t just want to fuck them. And if you do happen to attract the girl that just wants to fuck and doesn’t care about being lied to, well, have fun I guess. Still gross advice that no one should follow.

I was baffled and then just started laughing when I got to the party that a group out minding their own business while celebrating a friend is high strung because they don't want some random dude harassing them with bs.

I wholeheartedly agree, but we’re going to need a larger theoretical sample to really sell the point. What can you get me by Sunday? Is 500 doable?

This is both a bad tip and quite an intrusive tactic.
They are celebrating together, just let them

Zookeeper-007 t1_ja1fyhd wrote
This is a dumb tip. You could say hello or congrats! If they want to talk to you they will.
MKE_Now t1_ja1q7ix wrote
Or is this approach giving them an easy out to not talk to someone if they don’t want to by simply correcting them and moving on, versus having to put them in a position of having to actually reject someone nice futility starting a conversation?

No

I’m going to go out on a limb and bet that you’ve never approached anyone trying to break the ice in your life?
cyberdeath666 t1_ja1iuug wrote
Manipulating a group of people to get an in is not a respectable way to approach anyone. Does it work sometimes, sure. Is it still a d-bag move? Yes. And I’m getting married in a few months so I’ve obviously approached someone, and not with tacky shit like this.

MKE_Now t1_ja1pibo wrote
So by the same token if I go up and say “hi I’m ____ congratulations on the wedding” that’s somehow more respectable? Am I not still invading their space and not giving them an easy out to tell me off if they’re not interested in talking?
cyberdeath666 t1_ja1qeu9 wrote
If you think that blatantly manipulating people to get a conversation started is equivalent to being honest and introducing yourself, regardless of the outcome, you might want to re-evaluate. One is lying, the other isn’t. Not sure why that’s so hard to understand. Either way, how about just let them enjoy their night without trying to get your dick wet? They’re not there for you that night, or maybe any other night, especially with the way you feel it’s fine to manipulate them for your own gain.

Adding any level of disingenuousness or playing dumb is manipulation. So what you are suggesting is adding a flavor of deceit to what you've just described as "intrusive".

Don’t even respond to this person lol they probably don’t like comedy shows because all the stories aren’t “real” and they’re manipulating the crowd into laughing

Are there people who have never had to break the ice with a stranger before? At school? At work? To find a romantic partner? I’m not sure how you can get through life having never met anyone you didn’t already know

Or just leave them alone
MKE_Now t1_ja1dk6s wrote
Yeah you could always do that too. It just depends on what you want to do.

No what you want, on what you should do. You should just leave them alone.

In your opinion, when/where is an appropriate time for a man to approach a woman he's interested in?
MKE_Now t1_ja1gofh wrote
Online, At Bars, Clubs, Concerts, Other Group Events. If there is a free flowing social environment (easy way to tell is if there is drinking beyond a casual cocktail, general mingling by the majority of the place) it’s not a bad time. If it’s a gym, or other weird thing like that then you can fuck right off.

Yes the large group of women out celebrating at a bar filled with singles should be left alone at all costs.
No-Explanation-3577 t1_ja1f2os wrote
I mean they’re usually there to just celebrate together, not for you to purposely say shit to try to slide in to the single ones
wildadragon t1_ja1f0rb wrote
Yup because they are out celebrating their friend and don't need you and your rugby club or any other men to interrupt their celebration.

I dont get all the negativity. How you approach someone or a group depends on how you delier something. Saying this with a smile on your face can get you away with a lot, meaning it is just to have a laugh.
mintysmellshowntell t1_ja2792q wrote
"Get you away with a lot"?
What a way to put it when you are trying to argue for this type of thing as justifiably innocent. Not saying it is or isn't, but saying you're "getting away with something" just does nothing to emphasize the innocence of anything
upbeat22 t1_ja2iis7 wrote
What are you trying to say?
I just mean to say, and that is how I read the post of OP, is making a joke on something obvious as a way to get introduced and maybe enjoy the company of other people. You can say a lot of things with a smile so people know you are being playful.

This is the most self-absorbed, douchey, cringe-worthy tip I've seen.
May someone eventually teach you enough game that you don't have to scavenge female attention by making strangers' special occasions about your loneliness.
