I found this article in one of today’s free newspapers.
I’m not really sure what the “chat up” part has to do with manners, but I must say I was surprised to read about a girl even attempting to talk to guys on the tube; therefore Poorna Shetty gets full marks for effort. However, neither reporter realised that a conscious attempt to “chat someone up” is most likely doomed to failure. Furthermore, starting a conversation with any questions that might only be answered ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ is a bad start; as the reporters go on to demonstrate, but apparently not realise.
Finally, the man attempting to meet women has some small success starting a conversation with a compliment, and the woman he “chats up”, in her brief quotes, gives an example of how moronic guys make the seduction process trickier than it needs to be, by acting weird or scary around women.
But, to sum up, in meeting people to seduce, what have you got to lose?
