I would start another thread but this one is asking what I would like to know.....
(1)Icebreakers? I see ladies in stores frequently and want to try to get them to talk to me but am afraid to say anything because it may come out really stupid... so, what does a woman want to hear other than a "hello" if some guy is going to approach them?
(2) I have a horrible time guessing the age of women. Generally I go for the 40 -55 year old women but I've hit on women in their early 30's and they look at me like I'm just another dirty old man...but I'm seeing signals like crazy! So, they must just be being nice... then I try to talk to ladies who obviously are more my age and they just don't show any interests in being bothered at all...maybe it's menopause? ... so, what are some signals I can look for from older women? Like over 45... some just smile naturally but I need more than a smile to know it's a cue for me to start a conversation....I'd love to know some universal conversation starters...everyone does not have pets or like animals...but almost all women do cook. About the only places I ever go are like hardware stores, building supply stores, walmart, grocery stores, and an occasional cafe or restaurant. Outside of that it's bowling where there's a grill and beer but it's difficult to chat with a stranger who is on a bowling alley with friends...gotta figure an approach for each of these situations. My main line of work is doing repairs on vacation homes but they're almost unoccupied when I'm there....pretty remote and isolated here....just shooting for ideas.....
