If a woman approached you and simply said "hi what's up?", would you be ok?

I’d answer the question. What’s confusing about that?

Absolutely, I’d be okay.
I’d probably say something to the effect of, “Hi! I meet a lot of people and I’m getting to the age where everyone looks familiar, so if I should know you, tell me now before I make a donkey of myself!” Yeah, running off the head as cover for uncertainty, and covering all the bases.

:)

@livelaughlove21 I tend to get in chatty-with-strangers moods, and you wouldn’t believe how scared people can be by it. There’s a lot of paranoia out there.

I would fly into a rage.

What are YOU smiling at, average-looking woman?!

“Why maam, at this very moment it’s my penis that’s up, darn thang has a mind of it’s own I swear.”

Actually, I would have a mini-panic attack, and probably not know how to respond. It would end with me staring blankly at her until she said something else or went away.

I’d answer with something short, probably.

“Good evening, madam…....OK, quick…...Neil Diamond, or Neil Young ??”

Her response reveals whether this new friendship has any potential…

Yes.

Back in my clubbing days it was protocol to ask my girlfriend-mistress permission to engage me first.

“May I pet him?”

“Yes.”

(sigh)

@OneBadApple

“Diamonds are not for the Young, sir, and a man should kneel only once in a woman’s life.”

Yup, she’s a keeper.

Yes, but if a woman is that quick, maybe I’m not a keeper….although if she is that loaded-up on puns, I’m probably out of there anyway…

Okay??? I’d pass out!

But when I came to I’d be flattered.

@OneBadApple You can’t have too much good, clean pun in life.

Were it me, I’d kneel, then, as we say, ‘the shoe would be on the other foot’.

Not sure how well the old ‘Cinderella Gambit’ works anymore, but with those moves I’m pretty sure that she (and her feet) will realize that their prints have come….

@OneBadApple

we should be writing a new “The Producers” script

I’m in, buddy.

I mean…...how bad could we be….??

I’m a 70 year old grandmother. They often approach me and say “Hi honey, can I help you?” I love it.

I’d be ok. I’d respond like, yo wuddup dawg.

“Not a whole lot. What’s going on with you?” Chances are it would turn into a nice conversation. I’m good with that.

What do you mean ” be okay”.....like not having a stroke or aneurism or seizure?
I’d BE that woman, woe is you if you’re a fragile guy. lol

My response would depend on the way they approach me. If they ask me politely, Definitely I would say Hi back and smile at them. But If I feel something suspicious in their approach, I’ll excuse myself and leave.

I’d be suspicious because the only time that’s ever happened to me she wanted something from me.

Offer to buy her a refill and ask her how her night is going.

^^Everybody wants something.

I’d be okay with that. I’d ask her how she was doing and hopefully start up an interesting conversation with her. Unless she was asking loudly in the middle of a movie or something, when everyone else was quiet, then I’d just glare at her and say “Ssshhhh!”
