    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.

    Darn, then we'll never hook up...I find myself there far too often!

    I have been with my mom and guys have hit on me at Target. She looks at me and rolls her eyes.

    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 am fully aware when someone is sparking a nice conversation and I fully engage, I like talking to people. This was totally different, arrogant attitude (not by me), looking at me up and down (creepy), getting a little to close for comfort and you could tell it was a complete pick up line.....my reply was a joke, I even smiled nicely to him....if he was genuinely trying to just strike a conversation he wouldn't have walked off so rudely. Some people are naive, I am not....his true intentions were clear as could be....guess you'd have to be there to judge for yourself, but unfortunately you weren't.

    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.


    Well that is not really how it was. You could tell by his body language that he was just looking to pick up any random chick. He had a very arrogant behavior, kept looking me up and down (creepy) and kept getting closer and closer to me (to close for comfort). My response was a joke, I even smiled....him prancing off showed he really wasn't trying to start a innocent conversation, which I have no problem with, I like talking to people. I'm not a snob, far from it, I was just making a funny joke. I sure laughed my butt off.

    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 your 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 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

    Yes, it is very hard out there for women, especially young and attractive women. It's like a constant thing with men, you're always on the defense because so many men are trying to get with you. It's a shame but as a woman you learn very quickly to deflect, block, and reject conversation from men, because 9/10 it's a come on. For the poor guy who is the 1/10? Sorry, blame it on your fellow menfolk.

    I'm 40 now and overweight so a lot of unwanted male attention has slowed down (thank god for one benefit of being fat) but in my 20s! I couldn't walk down the street without men hooting and hollering from their cars and being followed around in stores and other foolishness.

    Hard for women? Try being a decent guy who is looking for someone to spend time with.

    I'm sorry, I'd rather be deflecting hundreds of come on's a day, than feel rejected for being polite, even if its showing polite interest in getting to know someone even once (I know this wasn't the OP's situation). And I wouldn't wish that feeling on anyone, man or woman.

    I make conversation with almost everyone I come into contact with.

    Do you think every woman thinks I'm trying to pick them up and every guy thinks I'm gay?

    That's hilarious. Luckily creepy guys don't try to hit on me that often. I tend to freeze up and run away. I don't like confrontation, especially since a 50 year old cuban man tried to invite me out to drinks when I was barely 18. I said no. He kept hounding on me, smelling my neck, saying I looked ravishing, etc. My manager told him to get lost. He showed up to my manager's house asking about me and her ex-military husband took care of it. He still came to the store afterwards but then I became the chick who "can't take a joke." So yeah, if you're able to deflect a creep, good for you. I'm horrible at it and need other people to do it for me. :/

    The OP seems like a happily married woman, so she's not looking to get picked up anywhere. Also, she mentioned that the guy went about it in a creepy sort of way.

    With that said, any time a single guy can meet someone outside of an online dating site or just an ordinary bar/club night, he should go for it. The two places mentioned in the last sentence are the worst for finding success with singles.

    There are better places to meet singles than a Walmart or other grocery store, but there are certainly worse places.

    Presentation and attitude matter.

    When my daughter was bout 6 weeks old I had to run to walmart at like 10pm. my finace was at work.. so I pack both kids up, get what we needed and headed back to the car. I put my 2 year old in his seat, then went around to put my daughter and carseat in.. her carseat was covered with a blanket, so you couldn't see her..

    This creepy guy in the truck next to me gets out, and says to me "That must be a damn good looking white kid"

    WTF

    I got out of there fast.

    :laugh: Love the reply.

    I really hate that question guys ask when they know you lift- What do you lift?
    Gee, I don't know. You'd have to be more specific. I lift weights. =/ Different weights on every exercise and it's none of your business what I'm currently lifting. I always feel like they are just judging if they need to know how much.
