    Why not? Stuff is cheap there. More fun for less. Get a big tub of pudding, some two-dollah pillows, see where it goes.

    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!'

    Really? So the fact that I wouldn't touch a girl I met at a bar, club, or concert with YOUR hands...has no relevance?

    I'd much rather meet an attractive woman at a grocery store...than at a bar.


    Yeah, but Walmart????

    You're going to judge someone for shopping at Walmart? Uh... you're there, too.

    maybe i'm missing something but whats wrong with a guy showing interest here?
    I think it's because way to many women are certifiably insane.

    And as for who would try and pick someone up outside of a bar who they have nothing in common with, IF he was trying to hit on her, she was buying whey, he asked if she lifts, obviously he thought they may have something in common. You know, other than "whooa you like tequila shots to?! "

    I don't see the problem. It was a pretty good conversation starter. There are women who don't go to bars and don't have the money for a concert every weekend. Sexual harassment is obviously unwanted and inappropriate, but no one is immune to strangers talking to them in public. Why restrict where people can approach each other? (I'm sure there are some places people can think of that would be weird, but the store is not one of them.)

    I would love it if a nice single guy who was attracted to me started a conversation at Walmart or whatever other grocery store I might be at. I've had guys smile at me, some several times as we passed each other in different aisles but I'm too chicken to strike up a conversation.

    ETA... it said "if a guy who was attracted to me" Thought I should specify that he be nice and single : )

    Have you tried putting a woman in a basket, it's not easy and then the weird looks you get from the cashier it's just too much hassle. Oh serious question, some say it's actually the best place to meet someone, you can actually hear what each other is saying so why not go with it.

    My cousins (2 females) tried to set me up with a guy at their dad's funeral. THAT was weird. Walmart... not so much.

    And this is why I no longer, smile, say hello to or even nod an acknowledgment to women I don't know. Too many think that any form of friendliness constitutes "hitting on them".

    True event that just occurred.

    I went to Walmart to pick up a few groceries, I was in the aisle with protein powders and such. I needed some more whey protein and had a container in one hand and was reading the label off some other muscle building powder in the other hand. A guy walks up next to me....(I did not have my wedding ring on because I had been doing yard work today and forgot to put it back on.)

    Guy: "Hey, you lift?"
    Me: "Yeah, I lift."
    Guy: Hmm, sooo what do you lift?"
    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. Don't try to pick woman up in Walmart people...please! :laugh:

    He probably at first all like

    Then he was like

    While I agree, I did have some direct, obvious attempts when I worked there. Most boiled down to *sucks teeth* "MMM.... you're pretty thick for a white girl..." *leers*

    How is "do you lift?" automatically an attempt to pick someone up? I get it, the OP is cute, but maybe he was actually making small talk about something he thought was a mutual interest. If the Walmart patron had been another woman, would she have assumed that she was trying to pick her up?

    Maybe he was genuinely interested in the lifting, or just surprised that he found a woman who lifts. Maybe he just wanted some advice, but then you scared him away with your response, when he realized you thought he was hitting on you and he was embarrassed. Some people just like to chat in the store, like me. :-P

    This is kind of what I was thinking too...maybe i'm just getting old.. :indifferent:

    Seriously don't let 'them' change YOU.

    Keep doing what you do and if they are complete strangers some will be friendly and some wont.

    If they are people you see regularly (like at work etc) you can simply choose to never hold the door for them, say hello or whatever ever again.

    I love it!

    And for single moms, this is a great way to weed out the dirt bags who aren't "into kids". :wink:

    Unless he's some kind of cuckold, why would a man want to date a woman who has kids?

    A woman has a kid with some stud and then expects some other loser male to take care of it? You have got to be kidding!
