I think I'm having a #metoo moment

[Fanatical Meat]

i was on the elevator at work the other day and a couple ladies were joking about the cafeteria food

i kind of joined in the conversation and they just stopped laughing and looked around awkwardly and didn't say anything, then got off the elevator

sooo maybe i just need practice. but i've heard that if you're not good looking you need to be funny to compensate, and i suspect i'm not funny enough for as ugly as i am.

Good start, try just talking to some random today suggestions below:

Buying lunch ask the server what is their favorite, follow up with why is that your favorite (don't do this if there are a ton of
People in line)
Ask a person in the office what they are doing this weekend, follow up with that sounds cool how did you...
Or if its nothing say I have nothing planned either I look forward to...

Always try to follow up with an open ended question (one that cannot be answered with a yes or no) these require people to give more complete answers that require more interaction

Edit: weekend project is ask a Woman at the grocery store to:
Help you find the right squash, bag of apples or ideally the right brownie mix
Ask: help me out which one should I choose
Follow up: how do you know that or why this mix
Follow up #2: any suggestions how to cook/make these
Bonus points at end: Thank you what do you do how do you know this
Extra bonus points: if you converse about anything else with her

Have you tried poem? That said I think elevators can be a tougher place to make random conversation. Small, confined space with a stranger talking to two women.

Not necessarily.

you're the victim. always.

As if it would make a difference? She can still make any claim she cares to make if she wants.

Jesus freaking Christ. Blue_Max may have left but the spirit of the angry oppressed male who doesn't get enough attention from women lives on.

1.25 drinks over approximately 90-120 minutes
Most of one light beer
About 1/3 a Dewers & Gingerale. Shot size in this drink appeared to be pretty standard but not measured either
Last drug (pot) was taken July 4th, 1995 or 1996.

I believe the last time I did pot was in the summer of 1995. There is a chance that we both were smoking our very last joint at the same moment in time. scarey.....

That's sweet but he already said he's happy with what he has at home.

That date would have been pre-what I've got at home and I'm pretty sure bshole is a dude

Or they were uptight * that were never ever going to enrich your life with anything positive anyway, move on to the next people, go again. Of course if you find yourself only attracted to shitty ppl you should start adressing that question.

Pome. I hear jerking off in to a potted plant is a great way to impress the ladies.

I was just thinking that DT should have a movement called #PeeToo which I think would be solid gold.

Funny always helps around women, but I think confidence helps even more. I've known some butt ugly guys who scored major tail and they were neither funny nor particularly nice. What they had was an almost palpable sense of being the hottest guy in the room, if not the planet. I dunno, maybe they were tripods, but a number of women succumbed to their nonexistent (as far as I could see) charms. Usually with a great deal of regret afterwards, but these were not the kind of guys who cared about afterward.

I recommend talking to a wide cross-section of people of all sexes and ages to gain confidence and ability in conversation. Women are first and foremost people, and speaking with young hot women is not fundamentally different from speaking to an old man. (At least, it shouldn't be.) Maybe you lack good skills in reading people and therefore respond in ways they find inappropriate. In any case, you seem like a pretty good guy, so best of luck.

EDIT: Fanatical Meat had some great advice, and Exterous made a great point too. Only once in my whole life did small talk in an elevator lead to anything for me, and then it was just half-laid. But then, I'm not winning any prizes for pretty either. lol

Damn autocorrect. I hear they like it when you do that on their shoes too
