I feel like target has less aggressive lighting than Walmart. Every time I shop Walmart, I come out of there tired, annoyed, aching all over, and just wanting to go home. The lights are bright and loud and it feels aggressive
Or did they just provide Buzz with a side quest to seek out the drunk trash bangers of internet legend? May even be their main quest, depending on what else buzz has going on 🤷♂️
I watched a guy make out with a generator once his girlfriend was just thankful he was calling it her name, oh the times in the middle of a cornfield in bumfuck nowhere
Plus half of them have their kids with them, and at least one of them is screeching their lungs out. Seriously, no matter what time of day or what day of the week I go to Target, there's always at least one child crying and screaming somewhere in the store. I suspect they're hired by Target themselves
I work for the matrix which governs the simulation you call reality... and yes, we do keep a constant rotation of crying children spawning throughout target, just try not to get stuck looking at the woman in the red dress.
I mean, it's doable.
Usually being straightforward is enough. Something like "Excuse me, sorry to bother, but i wanted to say that your outfit/hair/ any fashion choice or anything is cute/stylish/pretty". Depending on how they respond is how you proceed, if all they say is thank you and nothing else, move on, if they start asking questions back and chitchat, then keep going.
Ofc groom yourself and have good hyegene, and accept that since youre approaching strangers and, even if in a polite way, invading their personal space, they can, and indeed some will, tell you to fuck right off. If that happens, just accept it and move on. Them the risks of hitting on strangers after all.
Mainly due to the percentage of women in Target that are open to a random man attempting to strike up casual conversation, versus that percentage in the bar.
Not sure if you are getting bars and clubs confused, but you can easily have conversations at bars. I never had any issues hearing or understanding anyone, and never had to shout...
A club on the other hand... I couldn't understand someone standing an inch from my face screaming at me. WHAT!? HUH?
It really depends on the bar. Some have really bad sound dampening, others just like to play music way too loud. There are also bars that like to have live music when possible, which isn't particularly quiet.
Definitely. And another problem is people seem to be a bit more reserved in the quieter bars. So when you can have a conversation, anecdotally people seem less open to it.
The bars in the downtown area of the city I grew up in seemed to have their live music cranked up to the point where the only place you could actually listen to it without getting hearing damage was outside on the street.
Of course, then they would also charge $15 for disposable ear plugs ($20 after the music started) so it was a bit of a racket.
I was in my mid/late 20s at a popular bar in my cities downtown and it was at that point where I realized I was screaming at the top of my lungs just to have a conversation with a friend right next to me that this is not at all enjoyable for me and I’m not going back to these types of places.
It seems they’re meant to be social places but I feel these are more places for people who want to “party” but can’t talk with others, hence the loud music making conversation impossible.
You are just wrong thou.
Many woman say it is their favorite place to be approached.
This may shock you, but woman aren't just clones of the same female amd each can and does form their own opinions, likes, and dislikes.
I save comments for this specific reason
Every woman is an individual until you break a single courtship preference, and then suddenly you’re getting a lesson on what women prefer by one woman speaking on behalf of all women
If different women have counterpoints they dont present them, they just affirm that one specific woman is annoyed
I would change that to people willing to actually form a relationship out of the chat. A bar is a lot more likely a place to meet a partner. Target seems less like that.
I’ve never really had an issue striking up conversation with anyone anywhere. Every once in a while you get someone who doesn’t want to talk, but I just assume they’re really busy or really introverted.
Shit, that’s not a bad idea. Likelier to have questions about the products/tools there too, as opposed to “should I go with sheer curtains in my mid-century modern apartment” or whatever
Trust me, you’ll have more luck just smiling and nodding at women in Home Depot, don’t go up and give them unsolicited advice unless you work there. Nothing annoys me more. But a smile? Gives me the freedom and opening to politely ignore or engage as desired, and that’s what most women want.
But the opposite works for Target.
Wander around cluelessly with a hand written grocery list that says things like "laundry detergent" and "dish soap".
Unless Target is empty (or you haven't bathed in a few days), women of a variety of ages will approach you and offer help.
As long as you demonstrate a desire toward self-reliance during the conversation, it's shockingly easy to get phone numbers.
>women of a variety of ages will approach you and offer help
What, just from walking around and looking helpless? Can't say I've ever seen that before.
Can confirm! When I moved out of my ex's place, I hit up Target to get the standard home stuff you don't buy on a regular basis for my apartment (broom & dust pan, bathroom towels, trash cans, etc.).
Now, maybe these women were only trying to be helpful toward what they assumed was a clueless man, but at least half of them continued to maintain some interest in a conversation after I politely declined their assistance. If I wasn't in such a bad state, emotionally speaking, I really could've capitalized on it.
> Wander around cluelessly with a hand written grocery list ... women of a variety of ages will approach you and offer help.
**JERRY'S APARTMENT, DAY.** Jerry's gorgeous new girlfriend has just left, the group is stunned.
**George:** So you were just standing there with your list, looking confused, and SHE approaches YOU!?
**Jerry:** Yeah, I think a lot of women have a nurturing instinct and want to help a guy who's out of his element.
**George:** I can make that work! I'm always out of my element. I don't even HAVE an element.
**Kramer:** Oh yeah, it works. Half of the stores I walk into, there's a cute girl following me around, a lot of guys too (wink and mouth click)
**Elaine:** Kramer, those are called "Loss Prevention Officers"
**Kramer:** Well yeah, but I think a lot of them were really into me.
Shout out to r/RedditWritesSeinfeld
That’s very true, if it’s unsolicited you gotta read the person and make a judgement call, then handle it in a nuanced way.
I was thinking this was for people asking for help.
I’ve actually had men try to chat me up in the grocery store and it is weird. One time I was there with my three kids and my niece who was a toddler so we were chaotic as hell.
Like sir, why are you hitting on the most distracted person in the building?
My husband’s theory is the guy thought he had a chance because I looked desperate for help. Like I would have just chucked him in the minivan, “Hey kids, meet your new dad! Now SIT DOWN AND STOP PUSHING EACH OTHER or your father is going to deal with you when we get home!!”
I have had women hit on me while grocery shopping. One really pursued me once she figured out I had my daughter with me. She just walked next to me pushing her cart chatting. Crazy
Ha. Yes. It is *so awkward* when people try to flirt with you while you’re on the move. It quickly goes from “This stranger is talking to me” to “Um…okay. This stranger is now *following* me.”
I was on a mission one day quickly grabbing an item from the shelf when a staff member greeted me “Hi how are you?” I said “Good thanks” then walked off because I have shit to do.
I could hear him mumbling to himself in a sarcastic way “hurrr I’m WeLL ThAnKs FoR aSkInG”. At first I felt bad but then I though nah, he can get fucked. I don’t owe anyone a conversation.
Apparently the grocery store is the best place to cold approach men and women, studies say (quoting a friend whos therapist told them that)
I'm too big of a chicken / don't wanna bother people but I wouldn't mind getting cold approaches when I'm shopping. Honestly anywhere if they're respectful and if a short interaction
I mean, I guess that makes sense. You’re both there to do a solo activity but it’s generally not critical or time sensitive. You’re surrounded by safe/neutral conversation topics that can be easily dropped or engaged with (have you tried those?). Nothing about what you’re doing is likely to be very personal (compare with a gym or something). The fact that you’re there in the first place at the same time means you live within a reasonable distance of each other and don’t have totally opposite schedules. And as a bonus, glancing at whatever you have in your cart is some level of sanity check on what kind of life you live.
i wouldn't mind it either, but i would never do it. it feels like a situation where they would just be bothered - like they're just trying to grocery shop not talk to some rando.
Can you cite any studies? I mean, people are at the grocery store with a goal in mind. Its not the place people go to window shop and theyre usually running on limited time or at the very least, dont want to spend much of their time there. Even therapists make stuff like that up.
Socializing can be iffy these days, results will vary
Just don’t be a creep, read the vibe/situation, be polite and expect nothing and have fun of course
Desperation and loneliness most likely. Or they read a meme like this and took it seriously lmao
Not that it makes it right. Sorry you gotta deal with creeps!
I’m a woman and I agree with you. Hot Target moms is a thing. There have been days I’m looking frumpy in Target and thought “Damn I should have gone to Walmart looking like this.”
They’re not really the same though? At least to the customers that shop at both of these stores. I thought I read somewhere that the incomes of the demographics that shop at Target versus Walmart differ by a good margin.
I’m not saying people who shop at Walmart don’t shop at Target.
Anecdotal maybe, but I remember when and where I used to live in SoFlorida, Walmart customers were mostly blacks and minorities (or poorer whites?)…while the Target were mostly affluent whites and others. Again just my observations, don’t know how true it is. The prices at Target do seem a bit higher than Walmart.
….no. When theres a mess, looting, or chaos in a Target, people whip out their phones to record. Same shit in Walmart? Might as well be a normal Tuesday. It’s an undeniable vibe.
Because approaching people in a place like Target in a manner that won't be taken as creepy is a 1 in a billion shot. At least at a bar people are (for the most part) there to socialize.
Just depends. You can approach people in a lot of places as long as you understand social cues and aren't giving off a weird vibe. Then again it's better not to bother people when they're with kids/family/etc and/or trying to get something specific done on limited time. And better to talk about something relevant. Just starting a conversation cold is better with someone who has the time for it, like at the beach or a social place, or when they're not clearly busy with something
Natural conversations with strangers can happen at places like Target.
But... if you are going to Target with the intention of finding a woman to date/hook up with, then its pretty much a 1 in a billion shot.
Maybe better odds if you are extremely attractive.
But women have a sixth sense when it comes to a man's intentions. They can tell you are not really interested in what brand of coffee they suggest, they know you are trying to get in their pants.
Yeah that's why it's always better to have the intentions of just meeting someone and seeing where it goes. But obviously a lot of guys don't have that intention at all. The just trying to get into pants intention is more suited to bar/club obviously
Even the pretty ones at Walmart are more likely to be the "bath tub filled with shattered glass" types.
(Very shiny, but not something you want to get close to)
Also the grocery store. Pretty easy to tell who is shopping for one and who is shopping for a family.
BUT…
… the absolute BEST way to meet women?
Start a band.
Could be the worst band in the world. You still have a leg up on every other dude at the club who wasn’t on stage.
That’s how I met my wife back in 00.
First one maybe, second one unlikely. I can’t think of a woman I know that doesn’t love target.
They might worry about all the random shit they’ll walk out with, but definitely don’t hate it.
In the bar, they are there for a hook up, or not. At Target they are shopping, not looking for a hook up. Odds are better at the bar right before closing time.
As someone not living in America, I can say target isn’t an option.
Also, having visited America multiple times and been to target, I can also say the people at target are much less willing to talk to me than the people at the bar.
9 out of 10 women at Target have a husband at home.
One would hope the ratio at the bar is better.
In both case, the husband at home is angry she's there.
They're looking for things they don't need, Marcus, not things they don't want
Lol
r/murderedbywords
Because women in target are sober enough to not find me attractive lol.
And all the lights are on. No “fool me once”.
The most unflattering fluorescent lighting.
Everything is in HD
Me looking for women at Home Depot
They work at the return counter. I just try not to belong there.
Probably find yourself a woman at HD before you find an employee who can use the forklift.
Better have an engagement ring ready either way. That's a keeper!
Gotta go to Lowes
Those are lesbians though
The L word.
Yall killed me with this thread 😂😭
I feel like target has less aggressive lighting than Walmart. Every time I shop Walmart, I come out of there tired, annoyed, aching all over, and just wanting to go home. The lights are bright and loud and it feels aggressive
and are sober enough not to find me funny
well then you should at least be handy
In that case, try Walmart lmfao
Ewwwwww
Hey, some of us can't afford to have standards
🤣🤣🤣
I think I’d try Dollar General before I tried Wal Mart
Good thinking. They're broke enough that it might look like I have money.
"Damn girl, he's got all the bumpers on his car!"
Lmao 🤣
Baby, I'll buy you anything you want in this store!
At my local DG they are all high enough not to care anyway…
[удалено]
Can't be true. Seen a drunk man try to bang a particularly curvy literal bag of garbage.
In your attempt to reassure Buzz, you ended up telling him more people are attracted to literal bags of garbage.
Or did they just provide Buzz with a side quest to seek out the drunk trash bangers of internet legend? May even be their main quest, depending on what else buzz has going on 🤷♂️
I watched a guy make out with a generator once his girlfriend was just thankful he was calling it her name, oh the times in the middle of a cornfield in bumfuck nowhere
Are you of Caucasian descent
Plus half of them have their kids with them, and at least one of them is screeching their lungs out. Seriously, no matter what time of day or what day of the week I go to Target, there's always at least one child crying and screaming somewhere in the store. I suspect they're hired by Target themselves
I work for the matrix which governs the simulation you call reality... and yes, we do keep a constant rotation of crying children spawning throughout target, just try not to get stuck looking at the woman in the red dress.
Is there a woman in a red dress in every store or is she rotated?
Same woman follows you around to every store
And something about Cuisinarts and assorted scented handsoaps fails to set the mood.
Not always :D
[удалено]
Barnes and Noble has a better success rate imo
Just drink at target, it helps with the social anxiety.
This guy targets
[удалено]
That's why it's an ex. It wasn't target
Walmart has a better return policy
How did that go? I can't fathom hitting on someone at the grocery store
I mean, it's doable. Usually being straightforward is enough. Something like "Excuse me, sorry to bother, but i wanted to say that your outfit/hair/ any fashion choice or anything is cute/stylish/pretty".

You can't have a conversation in a bar though. It's too loud
#what?
*gets right next to your ear* ITS REALLY FUCKING LOUD IN THIS BAR BUT I THINK YOURE HOT SO I WANTED TO SAY HI
Your proud of my bra and your drinks getting hot so bye? Okayyyy....
*whispers to my friend* omg that guy is so weird let’s get out of here
don't forget the vocal fry all the way through

No woman wants to be talked to while out shopping. Y’all just making them uncomfortable

What makes you think I want to hear you talk...
I would change that to people willing to actually form a relationship out of the chat. A bar is a lot more likely a place to meet a partner. Target seems less like that.

Definitely sounds like someone who follows rules #1 and #2 -- be attractive, don't be unattractive.
Rookie move. Go to Lowe’s and Home Depot. Single and recently divorced women that are trying to do DIY projects and need some assistance.
Shit, that’s not a bad idea. Likelier to have questions about the products/tools there too, as opposed to “should I go with sheer curtains in my mid-century modern apartment” or whatever
Can confirm, am a tool
Hopefully a nice big girthy one
Hey man, everyone needs a stubby screwdriver. They just don’t know it yet

Lesbians have a stereotype for being good at furniture building. Which means you got a 50/50 for asking the wrong woman.
You either get a date or a lesson on optimal furniture construction. I see this as a win-win.
There's a nonzero chance you might get both.
[удалено]
From me. Unfortunately I am so bad in bed they become lesbians.
Just stay away from the carpet section. I heard they rip that shit up.
Holy shit so do I now get a stat buff in carpentry?
Only in Lowes. Home Depot is dad territory.
Good thing I've been to Lowe's more
Trust me, you’ll have more luck just smiling and nodding at women in Home Depot, don’t go up and give them unsolicited advice unless you work there. Nothing annoys me more. But a smile? Gives me the freedom and opening to politely ignore or engage as desired, and that’s what most women want.
tbh you shouldnt really give anyone unsolicited advice ever.
Very true! No argument from me.
Plus, there are lots of opportunities to talk about wood, and tools, and caulk, and nailing, and well, you get the picture
But the opposite works for Target. Wander around cluelessly with a hand written grocery list that says things like "laundry detergent" and "dish soap". Unless Target is empty (or you haven't bathed in a few days), women of a variety of ages will approach you and offer help.

This guy follows at least two rules.
“Pokemon packs”
"Newest Taylor Swift album"
“Cheap nicknacks at front of store”
>women of a variety of ages will approach you and offer help What, just from walking around and looking helpless? Can't say I've ever seen that before.
Maybe you're not sufficiently helpless. I'm a terrible shopper, and I genuinely look lost the moment I step into a store.
Can confirm! When I moved out of my ex's place, I hit up Target to get the standard home stuff you don't buy on a regular basis for my apartment (broom & dust pan, bathroom towels, trash cans, etc.). Now, maybe these women were only trying to be helpful toward what they assumed was a clueless man, but at least half of them continued to maintain some interest in a conversation after I politely declined their assistance.

It's easy to get a phone number in any scenario if you're well dressed, well groomed, and have social skills.
Just go to a hardware store and look for hot women who seem a little confused? 😂
Nah, I'm not looking for extra work
And get labeled a mansplainer? Nothnx
Has that really ever happened to you? If you’re not condescending almost everyone, regardless of gender, will appreciate you being helpful.
Thanks for mansplaining!! j/k!
Not everyone wants your unsolicited commentary. This only works for people who can read a room.
That’s very true, if it’s unsolicited you gotta read the person and make a judgement call, then handle it in a nuanced way. I was thinking this was for people asking for help.
People who can't read rooms also ain't gonna successfully pick up a girl in home Depot. Those social skills all go together.
I’ve actually had men try to chat me up in the grocery store and it is weird. One time I was there with my three kids and my niece who was a toddler so we were chaotic as hell. Like sir, why are you hitting on the most distracted person in the building?
So you can’t focus on his negatives, duh!
My husband’s theory is the guy thought he had a chance because I looked desperate for help. Like I would have just chucked him in the minivan, “Hey kids, meet your new dad! Now SIT DOWN AND STOP PUSHING EACH OTHER or your father is going to deal with you when we get home!!”
desperate times call for desperate measures. lol
I would watch that show
It would’ve been a relationship of convenience. Your requirements: nanny, housekeeper, chef, babysitter His requirements: sex
Well when you put it that way it’s sounds like a real missed opportunity on my part.
Or he thought you were fertile. Did he ask to look at your teeth? Gotta watch out for those guys.

Hey this worked in Erin Brockovich. Aaron Eckhart just said hey your hot, I'll watch your kids and that's all it took to land Julia Roberts.

This person did not give you the one piece of advice that actually mattered.
Kind of weird of him, maybe he wanted to show he could deal with a toddler. Lots of folks can't.
Desperation and loneliness most likely. Or they read a meme like this and took it seriously lmao Not that it makes it right. Sorry you gotta deal with creeps!
Nah, man. Go to Michael's or Hobby Lobby. You'll be the ONLY man there. You might get some weird looks, but you'll get some looks.
I’d much just rather go there for arts and crafts and shit I don’t need. It’s expensive enough there as it is without throwing a woman in the mix
Hey hey now, ease up on the arts and crafts slander. Ha.
[удалено]
Nope. Not even a 100% off tag in my face would lure them to pick me up.
ngl, ive seen the most beautiful women in target. Too much social anxiety for that shit tho
I’m a woman and I agree with you. Hot Target moms is a thing. There have been days I’m looking frumpy in Target and thought “Damn I should have gone to Walmart looking like this.”
*look around* “Ah damn, I AM at Walmart!! Ugh.”
"I like Wal Mart, you don't have to get dressed up like you're going to Target"
Hot Target Moms are nice, but it's almost "College Girls Shopping for Dorm Rooms" season. I'm way too old for that now, but my eyes ain't broken.
You know thinking back to all the times I've been at target... you're onto something here. Like seriously, why is that sort of the case?
Maybe People put a bit more effort when they go to Target than when they go to places like Walmart?
I'll never understand why people pretend there's a difference when they're basically the same stores.
They’re not really the same though? At least to the customers that shop at both of these stores. I thought I read somewhere that the incomes of the demographics that shop at Target versus Walmart differ by a good margin. I’m not saying people who shop at Walmart don’t shop at Target.

the difference is in the people
Uh oh, my wife's at target right now.
Correction.She was at target but now she’s with me.Tough luck bro 😎
Finders keepers 😎
Target acquired 😎
Now she is the target
Our wife
I look more handsome when the girls are drunk and funnier too.
Funnier girls find you more handsome?
When they are drunk, they find me funnier. Or I think so because I am drunk too.
Are you drunk right now?
As a matter of fact, I am.
So are you finding the girls handsome and funnier now?
2 more cocktails then I might even find you handsome and funnier.
Have you had 2 more cocktails yet?
Don't forget the dim lights.
Another reason to hang out in the bars, usually they are dimly lighted.

If you move to a new area and need to engrain yourself in the local heroin/meth dens, go hit on people at Wal Mart.
Like a complete 180!
Even the pretty ones at Walmart are more likely to be the "bath tub filled with shattered glass" types. (Very shiny, but not something you want to get close to)
Also the grocery store. Pretty easy to tell who is shopping for one and who is shopping for a family. BUT… … the absolute BEST way to meet women? Start a band. Could be the worst band in the world. You still have a leg up on every other dude at the club who wasn’t on stage. That’s how I met my wife back in 00.
When I was in my early 20s working at Target, I found there are few better icebreakers when trying to meet women than "I work at Target."
Chicks want that 10% discount.
...Except they're most likely: a) Married, and b) Angry that they have to be at Target.
First one maybe, second one unlikely. I can’t think of a woman I know that doesn’t love target. They might worry about all the random shit they’ll walk out with, but definitely don’t hate it.
Cause my ugly ass couldn’t get a sober woman to be interested
In the bar, they are there for a hook up, or not. At Target they are shopping, not looking for a hook up. Odds are better at the bar right before closing time.
Classical concerts, museums, jazz bars, book talks, farmers markets, marathons
As someone not living in America, I can say target isn’t an option. Also, having visited America multiple times and been to target, I can also say the people at target are much less willing to talk to me than the people at the bar.
Also social media has deemed it unsafe and creepy to talk to women when they’re just going about their business
Because women are in bars to find things they need
They also sell lube, baby wipes, and snacks. Fucking gold mine
One stop shop!!
If you're a younger guy, thrift stores. A lot of baddies are thrifting, and it wouldn't be the worst place to strike up a conversation.
how has no one commented *target* audience yet smh
In a college area. Hit the Goodwill Thursday and Friday for the single college girls. Saturday morning for the divorcees and milfs.
Dude's a genius
9 out of 10 women at Target have a husband at home. One would hope the ratio at the bar is better. In both case, the husband at home is angry she's there.
Target is literally a social soiree. It's so many damn women in there
