A recently released survey of 1,000 women aged 18-30 undertaken by Axe Bullet asked where men should go to meet women. Not surprisingly, bars didn't make the top of the list (although 19% of respondents did say they'd met their last boyfriend in a bar). The runaway top choice? Coffee shops (53%), followed by bookstores (41%), the gym (40%) and the grocery store (35%). And 36% of the women participants said they wouldn't hesitate to recommend attending a place of worship as a way to meet someone.
The survey also asked about men's approaches, conversation starters and pickup lines, namely what worked and what didn't. An overwhelming majority (63%) said they'd wished the man they'd "shared a flirty glance with" had initiated contact. And even more interestingly, these women stated that location (11%) and physical appearance (20%) were much less important to them than the gent's style and approach (68%).
So how is a guy supposed to know a gal is interested or flirting with him? The ladies answered questions along these lines too. The top picks were eye contact and flirty smiles (69%), asking what he thought/for suggestions (37%), talking to his friends (26%) or casually asking what time it was (26%).
There you go gentleman: a primer on what women are looking for and how they are trying to get your attention. All that remains is for you to act on her come-hither body language; only 13% of the women who took part in the survey said the guys they were flirting with "got it".
Interesting results of the survey.
This is a really interesting and valuable article! I am going to give a couple of these scenarios a shot this weekend. Perhaps this should go into the men’s bible!
The problem with the survey is that it’s saying where men SHOULD meet women and not where they actually meet them. The issue is that the women are giving answers based on what they think is a more socially acceptable places to meet and are unlikely to provide an answer like a bar or club for fear of being judged a slut, lush and/or party girl.
Also, could you please provide a link or citation to this survey, I can’t seem to find it anywhere?
Sorry, there’s no link. I received the information through an email sent to me by Axe.
I totally agree with the survey.
Hints or flirting are manipulation. Why play games? Why not base a relationship from the beginning on truth? Why would I want a female in my life that can not look me in the eyes and be truthful from the first contact?
