Does anyone else agree that too many single guys fail at the first hurdle .. Conversation skills .. So many seem unable to walk up and start a conversation, it's not a lot to ask. There is nothing worse than watching single guys staring like rabbits in headlights if you haven't got the nerve to come and say hi I'm xxx ... Then sorry you will go home without playing ... It's not rocket science or is it |

"It's NOT single guys bashing .. It's trying to help single guys .. We get enough action thanks we feel sorry for the single guys sitting around nit getting any action and feel it would help. "
To be fair, it reads as a pretty cutting thread as opposed to helpful... perhaps you making an effort when you see someone looks nervous might be more helpful than posts like this? |

last I heard conversation was a 2 way street... so if you like the look of someone shouldn't you go up to them as much as they are suppose to come up to you.....
I know... radical thought! |

A guy can be approached by a couple if they look like suiters must be intimidating for some guys approaching a couple seen many get told to go away but not in a pleasant manner |

Angie does have a point, I am not and never have been a hulk and can be quiet at times, however I am far more successfull in clubs when I start a conversation. Ok I have had a few knock backs, but on the other hand, I have left the other guys thinking, how did he do that, more than once, simply by starting a conversation.
Most, and I chose the word carefully, couples are fine to speak to, if approached in the right way.
Unfortunately some single blokes can get a bad press, by thinking if they follow people around, they will get lucky, doh . |

FFS ... We go to clubs regularly we attend various events .. Single guys that can't approach people and talk struggle .. All we suggested they tried if all people want to do is criticise fine ... |

Really don't get all this single guy bashing that's going on at the moment.
Put yourself in their shoes, there they are all on their own in a club, how nervous do you think they feel? If they come and start chatting to you out of the blue they risk being called pushy!
Conversation is a two way thing, so what's wrong with a couple going up to a single guy and starting a conversion. |

its more difficult than you think. You know whether or not you are going to have sex we can only hope we are going to have sex so we don't want to appear pushy. And the amount of times I have tried to speak to a couple and been treated as if they had stood in dog dirt. So try that a few times and im sure you will start to understand how hard it is to talk to a couple you don't know

What exactly does the amount of time we have been on here have to do with having the ability to be civil? |

. Good point but you are not always certain what type of reaction you will get if you walk up an attempt to start a conversation. Some like to be approached , others prefer to do the approaching . Might help if they wore badges indicating what their preferences were .

As a newbie to this site I can understand what the op is saying I went to a club the other week and as big as I am and in the real world quite confident !! I don't think it's to hard to chat to anybody I know it's a bit different outside a club but as long as your polite and your not drooling how hard is it there are only 2 answers in life yeah and nay oh and f..k off and your joking or are you serious forgot about them ones  |

"Frankly feel sorry for single guys that have had dealings with the OP.
As others have said, it is far easier to go talk to someone when a couple than as a single person, male or female, at a club."
Sorry mate you have just cemented many peoples attitude towards single guys "feel sorry for the single guys that have dealings with OP" sorry lol get a life mate we spend hours helping single guys in the club and the biggest issue MOST couples have is single guys following them around expecting sex. Wish we had never started this thread |

I do feel for single guys. They possibly have 2 people to connect with. He can't go in wrong as it will put the couple off. I do think it's easier for a couple to initiate chat as before they approach a guy they can check with their partner they think he looks good...
It is definitely a 2 way street. As a single lady I find it easier to chat to one person rather than a couple. It's a bit daunting even after 8 years on the scene. So totally understandable they can be nervous.
When you are on your own (guys or fems) you have no one to chat to unless you make conversation. A couple have each other. I admire the guys who chat at the bar. Did like the ones that only really chat with me once I am naked lol |
