    Men will try to flirt with or "pick up" an attractive woman anywhere. Why does it matter if it's at a Walmart? If you're taken, you're taken. That doesn't mean a single woman out shopping doesn't want to be approached by an attractive guy...

    Is this the first time anyone has ever talked to you that wasn't female? It is possible he was just talking to you. And if he was trying to approach you to flirt, I don't think it's your kid that scared him, it was probably the fact that you seem to be a snob.
    QFT

    ^^^ this. I would hardly consider this being hit on, I would call it making conversation! Random strangers of both sexes talk to me all the time, I don't consider it being hit on unless they make it very obvious...heck, if I saw someone buying protein powder at Wal-Mart I might start talking to them too.

    Not that you're not attractive, but I think this guy was just being nice.

    I would have taken it as making conversation too. Some people are just really outgoing and like to start conversations without other intentions. Asking what you lift doesn't seem like an odd question to someone buying protein powder. Especially if you live in a smaller town, it happens more often. It's very normal and common to have conversations with people in stores. It would be different if someone said something inappropriate.

    Oh, she was being hit on all right. In my experience men rarely bother to talk to women or 'spark up conversation' with women they are not attracted to. You think you're being friendly by responding back to their 'conversation' and next thing you know they are asking for your phone number or whatever LOL.

    Good thing you're talking about your kid scared him off! One time this gross creeper hit on me at a restaurant when I had my newborn son strapped to my chest. Who does that?? I mean really.

    I think the OP meant this topic playfully, but he was probably scared off by her laughing like a maniac rather than the kid.

    Also, what's wrong with hitting on people in the shop?

    You can meet a decent (or a terrible!) guy/girl anywhere. Love doesn't only happen in set places - you don't meet a potential partner based on where you met them, you meet them based on who they are.

    if your Walmart is overrun with the kind of people you dont like that means you live in an area with a lot of those people so you should probably move.

    This is tottaly me. I talk to everyone and anyone. Older ladies, kids, anyone around me that is open to a little casual friendliness and I'm in. I am never hitting on anyone as I am very happily married but I'm sure I could come across that was sometimes.

    That being said, I think the guy was throwing a line in the water with you. Why not? Who cares if it's Walmart? You are an attractive lady and possibly had something in common. Walmart can be weird though!!

    I try to start conversations with people if I think they are interesting or have similar hobbies. I'm not trying to date or hook up with them. That's the farthest thing from my mind. But now I understand why they always reject my conversation.

    Note: I've never once asked a girl for her phone number

    It's wrong to pick up girls at Walmart because if I was looking for a date I'd be at a bar, or a club, or a concert. I would not be buying groceries. If some women like it, cool, but most are going to laugh and roll their eyes and 'I bet that's the kind of guy who asks out a hundred women a week with no discernible criteria. Stay away!'

    so bars, clubs and concerts are the only places to look for a date? you shouldn't limit yourself like that.
    I have not tried to pick any one up for 25 years but I question the reasoning here.

    Men should only be looking only for hard of hearing alcoholics?

    Kids didn't scare of a guy who was trying to hit on me near the protein powder. He had kids with him as well. Either a single Dad or a married man with no shame.

    He started talking about how fitness was good for the body (while looking me over) and I said "Yes it is. My husband is the one who got me into it."

    Lol, he went on his merry little way after that.

    Ditto!

    Double ditto.

    I never assume someone is trying to chat me up unless its pretty obvious. Saying 'Hi, do you lift?" is not exactly something I would automatically assume to be a pick up attempt.

    It must be nice to be hot enough to assume any man speaking to you is hitting on you

    Me: "I lift a 2 1/2 year old....what do you lift?"

    That was it for him, scared him off....laughed my *kitten* off.

    I agree though. The dude was trying to put the mack on.

    I would never do such a thing. I have far more respect than....

    to stop at Walmart.
