Please do not smile at strangers

Canada then? Where else would someone pick up the north american woman's lexicon of 'fucktard' 'creepy' 'knock yourself out' 'ppl' even the UK guys on here don't write like that.

This charade is wearing thinner than an old ladies' papery skin.

Huh? English second language. I didn't intentionally use the phrases 'fucktard' or 'ppl' to appear as a jimmies-rustling feminazi but I'm glad they helped.

Anyway I'm done derailing this thread.

......

Otherwise, if you are actually an american woman, you come off as a dutch guy who is trying too hard to use slang and casual phrasing.

lol... you are a smart guy. But I don't get your french fries reference... Is it that orders of french fries is plural or something?

Anyway I was trolling because I really think that some guys here take their views on male-female interaction a bit too far and that makes it funny. Everybody should be pleased for you to talk to them? Women shouldn't talk unless spoken to? Come on, that's a little extreme.

Thats Korben trolling you.

The french fries referrence is like your writing, the english words and use are all correct, they are just used in a way that is slightly different way than a native speaker would use them. Only a native speaker/writer would notice the difference. In this case it makes you seem like you are an american woman trying to sound like man, in my case it would be like me trying to speak dutch and it sounding really good but strange you would be wondering if I'm actually a flemish person trying to sound dutch or just a canadian who is a very good dutch speaker most of the time.

and for the french fries it would be "I should totally get an order of fries with my food" for a native speaker.

Most likely a woman, but ya never know.

So would you like it if some random unattractive woman on the street started talking to you in order to try and have sex with you?

I don't think so :dodgy:

Talking to random people on the street is insanely weird. Go to a club/have a social circle. There people go in order to be talked to.

i would really like that and have had that happen. literally had this ugly girl come up to me one day when i was shopping at the mall and said, "excuse me, i just had to tell you that you are incredibly sexy" or something and i smiled and thanked her. then i pretty much ended the conversation. but there was no animosity on my part.

If this is legit, its incredibly Orwellian.

This is just another way to keep people from communicating with one another, may as well just build individual rat/mouse tubes for us to walk around in.

Agreed. And this is the exact opposite of the "Smile-to-Big-Brother". Two versions of the same Orwellian trend.

Seriously gents, this is not a real MTA sign. The dead giveaway is that it only exists at the 14th St/Union Square station, which is Manhattan's epicenter for street performers and general freaks.

I wouldn't be surprised if the guy who put it up was mocking the "end street harassment" movement.

Black woman ........next thing you know she'll tell you that having an attitude is a stereotype.

 

[unbowed]

hmm, looks too bright to be the L train.

 

[michelin]

The sign is real, but it was made by a "street artist", not the MTA. Decent satire of how people interact in NYC.

Confirmed:

a sign posted by artists on the 14th St. F train, in the same style as the standard MTA instructional signage.

I'd bang the one on the upper right as long as she wasn't a SIF. Pass on the dykes.

Easy, I know it is a drawing :biggrin:
