I like holding doors open for people ages away. Funny making them sprint just so they don't leave me waiting there. You've been watching the limmy show |

By:
The thing is that women talk, once you are known as the sort of man who is considerate etc it's all good publicity.
|
|
By:
not many men do this nowadays they all rude and arrogant where i come from
|
|
By:
I hold doors open for anyone to be honest, common courtesy. I save the creepy smile for the ladies though.
|
|
By:
indeed
but again, you see a woman you really wanna sh@g, but you only cross her in the corridor how can I stop and talk without looking like a numpty? thing is, you see, the people walking by me will be the every day types, knowing that am trying to make a move |
|
By:
Spill a drink on her then make your move. You have to be smooth to pull this off though.

By:

just trip in front of her punter , let her help u up , then your in She'll think, "he's no man" mind the office i'm in, full of w@nkers and that, she'll prolly be attracted to some of the w@nkers, though I dunno for sure |
|
By:
Smooth? More like super cool mother f**ker to pull that one off!!!
Hard at work, if you've had eyes contact from a girl previous, them move onto smile next time. If she smiles back then say hi the time after that, if she is returning then it might not be a guarantee of anything , but at least you aren't being shunned. Once you are on saying hi terms you can take it from there in your own style. |

By:

Cakes - I'm from Darlo

wherever that is daley :)

By:
I know LC but couldnt belive that noone had brought that one up already! this is chit chat after all !
|
|
By:
true Lady, but you can be a bit of both at the same time. I'm always a gentleman with women, but I'm also known as someone who doesn't take sh!t generally. I walk around like I'm the alpha male. I know women at work look.
|
|
By:
Think when you read in Cosmopolitan that a woman liked a man to impress her and get her wet you may have misunderstood.
|
|
By:
if i mention back doors i get shouted at on here , apparently a lady should not talk about that sort of thing on here !! rude ay
|
|
By:
I find ig im in the smoke that noone seems to thank anyone for doors or otherwise though in say Manchester or Leeds i think most birds will give a grudging nod of appreciation..especially when i give them my rakish smile.
Having sad all that blokes are FAR more polite than birds and would be rare for a bloke not to acknowledge i think |
|
By:
erm.....I've had 45+ women that i've never met saying hi to me in the corridor, I say Hi back
but I found it surreal |
|
By:
are they just wanting a bit of c0ck?
|
|
By:
lmao punter u don't strike me as shy
|
|
By:
punter, do they have works drinks etc where you might meet them to talk to?
|
|
By:
ladycakes69 04 Feb 21:03
lmao punter u don't strike me as shy not to women in my department and nearby but random female staff from other departments, where theres eyes everywhere, it's never a quiet corridor my corridor is busy because the shop and deli is there, and the girls behind the counter make comments and that |

punter, do they have works drinks etc where you might meet them to talk to? nope, office is far too big for that, works drinks are separated between departments funnily enough, I walk to work, and rarely I start at 7am, but when I do, there's a park bench 5 mins walk away from work, and SHE walked past it, believe me! she must be a regular 7am start worker, when am normally 8.30am |

By:
A lot depends on the rules where you work. Some places you can et in trouble for commenting on peoples appearance etc, but you could just pay a compliment to a woman you are interested in. Tell her she looks good.
|
|
By:
get in trouble ^^
|
|
By:
PF
Why or how on earth could 45 women say "hi" to a stranger? can only think you work either in the media or the public sector (massively different i know but still)? Must be hell be hell on earth as whenever you wanted to move in on a bird everyone would spot the manouvre..probs easier to just walk around with your c0ck out. |
|
By:
Bonviv is 100% correct, there are people watching others constantly just for a bit of gossip. Sad
|
|
By:
Bonviv, women that are 45 and over in agewise, whilst am 30
|
|
By:
bonviv
is it public sector, not just public sector, it's civil service sector, and yes gossip is rife |

|
By:
I do have the advantage that she does cross the bench I like to have my first cigarette on at 6.55am, but if I start doing it on a regular basis, I might scare her
|
|
By:
Ah i'm with you now PF,had this idea of hordes of birds smiling and saying hello!
They most lkely se you as a young gigalo Hardly ever venture into the office thank god,but i can imagine the gossip mongering is a bit suffocating in those huge open plan office type places |
|
By:
look, the point is not having an angle here I think. If she knows you are interested and she is interested herself then you have a chance to move forwards.
If a woman I'm attracted to pays me a compliment I hold it in higher regard than from someone I'm not interested in. If you know what I mean. If she likes you paying her a compliment will work in your favour. If not, move on. |

I find it hard to believe that in this day and age we shoud be discussing whether a man should hold open a door for a lady. Surely it is just a case of good manners? You should always hold a door open for a member of the fairer sex. That way as she walks through the open doorway you can crouch down close to her arris, get an eyefull and inhale the aroma of a little bit of natures honey.
