    OMG that's hilarious! I had a guy last Christmas come right up to me and say "I'm gonna marry you." with a giant freaky smile! I was with my 2 kids and quickly moved away. As we were leaving Walmart the same guy FLEW past us stealing a giant tv! He had a car waiting for him in the parking lot and he got away. My mom always jokes to me that my future dh just stole his wedding gift for me!:laugh: :laugh:

    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".

    Exactly. Want to get married? I hope you can afford a nice big pink Argyle diamond though and am serious. If you have a dungeon I am not interested. I do need a computer or I'll be sad all the time if I don't get MFP.

    Is it normal to smile, say hello or nod to anybody you don't know?

    It seems like in some places it's acceptable and in others it isn't. I'm not used to it and it freaks me out when people do that.

    That makes me sad. :( I tend to frequently nod and smile to people I don't know, just because it's what I do. The world needs more smiles.

    I LOL'ed at the "picking up a 2 1/2 year old". But I'm also in agreement with the guys...if you didn't have said toddler with you or a ring on, he most likely thought you were available and was stoked to find a "chick" who digs lifting, too. Take it as a compliment. :)

    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!
    Er...because she's a great lady?

    Assuming I *were* still in the dating pool, a kid or two isn't gonna scare me off unless they have a 666 tattoo lurking below the hairline (reference to movie "THE OMEN" for you youngsters..)

    So someone is a dirtbag because kids are a deal-breaker? I guess I'm a dirtbag...and suddenly teenage dirtbag pops in my head lol.

    Seriously if you have kids you probably dont know how frustrating/annoying it can be to date someone with kids when you don't have any of your own
    And as someone who has and loves kids, let me say...they are NOT for everyone and it's far better that you don't get involved with someone who has one if you know they aren't your thing. Nothing good comes from "Oh I'll get used to it". Ditto those women who who know they want kids and continue to date men who who say they don't. You're not going to "change his mind", ladies.

    Note to self:

    1. Clean truck bed
    2. Buy Mattress
    3. Go to Target
    4. Pick up woman, condoms, KY, rope, duct tape, boat paddle, bananas, Red Bull, Viagra refill, camera, baby oil, towels, and a Yahtzee game.
    Guess the Yahtzee is the backup plan if the Viagra refill's a dud? :tongue:

    Your profile doesn't say where you are from but in the Southern United States friendly small talk with strangers is common. I am from the North (Ohio) where in my small town it was also common.

    The exceptions are in large U.S. cities if you do say hello to people you don't know you will often be thought dangerous, crazy or both.

    Because us ladies that love to cook get knabbed fast I guess.

    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:
    Where is it ok to try to meet women. I lost my book on appropriate and inappropriate places to meet women. I know the gym is off limits.

    Probably depends on the attractiveness of the guy
    Possibly. So, what are some approximate places for an ugly old fart like me to meet a woman?

    If you take the puppy from your profile picture with you, it won't matter where you are. The women will flock to YOU! haha...

    So exactly how IS a man supposed to strike up a conversation with a woman, without her running to 'teh interwebz' to creep shame him for essentially saying nothing more threatening than hi?

    Men can think that too. I frequently smile and nod if someone looks at me to be polite and acknowledge them, but I will always remember this one time I started my first shift at a bar and as I got off the streetcar, I saw someone looking toward me. This man was standing outside of the bar, so I knew he would be a patron. As it was my first shift, and I would be serving him, I smiled and walked in. At the end of the day, after hitting on me the entire shift, refusing to believe the fact that I had a boyfriend (and even asking me for his number to "prove it") he said, "I knew you wanted me ever since you got off that streetcar and smiled at me." Ugh.

    Some guy who works at Wal-Mart hit on me this year - it was super awkward. I feel your pain.
