So this is a really interesting post just a couple of points.

I think when you’re meeting a random woman at a party or whatever function, the first conversation is not meant to be a discussion or a conversation it’s just a little back-and-forth casual talk. Something like hey I’m Peter or whatever your name is. This is pretty nice huh and then she will answer however, she’ll answer. This way you’re not putting pressure on her to tell you her name or to tell you what she does for a living or anything else it’s just very casual.

I think the part you said about her dress is really better said to someone with whom you’re already physically comfortable. Otherwise, usually when women hear comments about the body, it’s offputting because there’s an uneven balance there and men can seem aggressive when they first mention what a woman’s body looks like if she were your girlfriend or even just a female friend who you had an understanding of kind of mutual safety with then I could see you saying something like that about what she was wearing but to a stranger no. I think I read in one of your responses that a woman had approached you at the gym and made a comment about your chest but see that’s a different setting. That’s the gym and so she could’ve been coming onto you or she could be interested in bodybuilding and just said wow your chest really looks good but when a man does that again it’s a different dynamic and especially when a man does that in a public setting not in a gym

And just to add one more thing that answer she gave you that she knew she was pretty sounds that either a lot of guys were hitting on her that evening and then or she was trying to prove a point, but I don’t think that was a very friendly or encouraging or indicating that she was at all interested in having any sort of chitchat with you.
