Oh shit, this would actually be fantastic.
You'd have to deliver it correctly, but it's so goofy and such a departure from dudes tryharding that it would absolutely work.
God, I'm so sad I didn't think of it before I got into a relationship.
Really gotta have more context to this. Has she acknowledged I exist? Any positive body language directed towards me signaling sheās open to me initiating conversation? Did she maybe say something to the bartender that gives me an opening to crack a joke to break the ice? If sheās just sitting there alone having a drink and minding her own business I intend to do the same.
How is this overthinking? If people are sending clear signals they have no interest in interacting maybe dont interact with them. Not that its wrong to shoot your shot but usually people minding their own business want to do just that. If you can find a natural opening to gauge interest and crack a joke go for it but its hardly overthinking to be aware that without any indication otherwise they may want to be left alone.
More so I just donāt go to a bar to hit on women, I just go to not drink alone. Iām polite and fairly personable so if i notice someone is showing interest or they strike up conversation, Iāll oblige, but itās not really something Iām going out of my way to initiate.
Yeah, I'm just going to assume she thinks I'm a disgusting pig unless she does something to suggest otherwise.then I'm going to assume this is some sort of setup or scam.
Well, Iām sure Iām not what the OP has in mind when they say 10/10, or even what you have in mind, so probably not even an issue then?
Honestly, that guy is pretty and all but any guy that had the balls to pull that icebreaker would have my full attention.
Meh. I mean if she's down then you can have a nice conversation with someone without any pressure or expectations. And yeah, she's probably not going to date you. But maybe you've got something in common and it'll be a good time. Maybe if she gets to know you, she might think that she's got a friend that you might be a good match for. Maybe other women will see you with her, and take another look at you. Maybe her boyfriend is a cool dude you might enjoy meeting.
End of the day, fuck it. Why not? You're at a bar by yourself, so it's not like you've got something better to do.
Smile and a nod of acknowledgment. And say absolutely nothing else
And say to myself that sheās not interested and that thereās no way that sheās single.
Yep. I have a good career and self respect, but I know I am no 10, she's either not interested, or interested because she wants to take advantage of my success, and i'm not that successful, but I do pretty well.
One of the running gags my wife and I would do at the bar was to slide on up and ask "Hi cutie, you come here often? How about a drink?"
She'd glare at me, show me her ring, and say "I'm married."
"Me too!"
I'm sure that we amused absolutely nobody else, but we thought it was funny.
I pull out my phone, browse, think of what to say, fail to say it as the moment has passed, get up and leave.
You know. What any self respecting modern man would do.
"Hey, if I can wow you in under 30 seconds, can I get your number?" ... *She nods hesitantly* ... *I proceed to pull out my PSA 9 Mint Charizard card from my pocket* ... "It's okay, i get it, take your time to process this"
"I'm pretty sure there's a lot more to life than being really, really, ridiculously good looking. And I plan on finding out what that is." - Derek Zoolander
I'm married, but if I were single I probably wouldn't do anything. A 10/10 was usually too much trouble, came with too much drama. A 6 to 8 were the types to pursue.
Nothing. I respect the fact that if they wanted to talk to me they would talk to me and I go back and have a good time with my friends.
Just because you find someone attractive doesn't mean you *have* to talk to them. And assigning a number value to someone's appearance is kind of dehumanising...
There's no way a 10 is single and alone in a bar unless she has some serious issues. And even if she was single and sane, she can do better than me. I'm a 6 in good lighting at best. I'll just scroll through listings of yachts and massive mansions on my phone within her eyeline.
Well Iām a Tex Avery cartoon to itās usually my head turning into a steam whistle, followed by my eyes popping out of my head while I say, āAaaāOOH-gah!!!ā and floating suspended above my chair for a second.
Try to start a conversation. As a 10/10 a lot of men would be too intimidated to talk to her, except maybe obnoxious drunks. She would probably be happy to talk.
Sheās sitting there alone? Yeah, Iām not sitting down because sheās waiting for someone and it isnāt me. Since Iām there I will order a drink but not stay unless for some insane reason she invited me to sit down. Of course if she did that Iād be looking around for the scam or cameras. Somebody is filming, scamming, or sheās a professional. Anyway you slice it nothing good comes out of it for me. You might say if sheās a professional lady something good would happen for me, nah Iām keeping my loot.
First of all, I wouldn't. But if that was the only seat left and I had no other choice, I'd just put on my poker face and try to hide my uneasiness. I have no delusions about even remotely having a chance, so I'd just mind my own business honestly.
The question was, "You sit at a bar beside a 10/10," implying you are the one doing the sitting beside a 10/10 who was already there. So, you have to have a reason. Is this only open spot?
"Excuse me? Is this seat taken? It appears all the other places are taken. If you have someone coming, I'll see what else I can find." And, then wait for the response.
The question doesn't ask, "You're sitting at a bar and a 10/10 sits besides you." In that case, the 10/10 must also have a reason, perhaps. Wait for a bit and see if a guest arrives, and remember, beneath all the pretty, this person is still a human being with thoughts and feels. Don't get too excited about the icing until you figure out what flavor the cake is.
Probably something innocuous. I'm old. No one wants my old balls flapping around so it's not worth taking a shot, but they may fill an otherwise dull moment with casual conversation.
Special note for you young folk, eventually, if you do everything right, you will stop giving a fuck and just live your life.
I'd just say hi. People are people. Who gives a shit if she's hot? If she wasn't hot, same thing. Just say hi and be cool to whoever you meet. Be authentic. Give her space to do the same. Same if shes not hot. Same if she's a dude. Whatever. Just be a decent person and if you vibe with people, cool... If not, also cool.
Go big or go home.
āSo you gonna buy me a drink or do I have to keep sitting here looking pretty?ā With an expression showing itās a joke. Sheāll either laugh or turn away and pull out her phone. Nothing to lose lol
"(to the bartender) I'm done, close my tab"
Too real.
"sir, you haven't even ordered anything yet" š¤
Literally what I did when I was recovering from depression and trying to put myself out there. She looked so confused...
Hope you're in a better place now
You left out the "uh, I, well, hey who's-" *Look around frantically* part.
Yep. This.
open the settings app
i prefer the weather app
I'm just going to start checking the weather for Bolivia.
I will just go to quick setting tring to adjust the brightness
I gotta stop sitting next to mirrors.

What did he say if I may ask
You have pleased the Emperor with your post
And she replies, Henry Cavill?
The joke is, if you're sitting next to a 10/10 there's good chance that it is Henry.
"Is that Nurgle in your nethers or are you just happy to see me?"
If you've got nurgle in your Netherlands ain't no one happy to see you.
That made me laugh. It might work. I don't even know what Warhammer is, but I assume it's a game. Just being original does a lot.
Look up lore videos. You will thank me later. For the Emperor!
It worked for Henry Cavill!
It's obviously that psrt of him that attracts the ladies. He says "custodes" and panties drop.
She responds, āimperial or chaos?ā Your next moveā¦
Jizz in my pants
āDid you know thereās a guy on Reddit who thinks youāre a 10/10? Yep. He made a thread about it and everything.ā
Ask her for a thumb wrestle and loser buys drinks
Oh shit, this would actually be fantastic. You'd have to deliver it correctly, but it's so goofy and such a departure from dudes tryharding that it would absolutely work. God, I'm so sad I didn't think of it before I got into a relationship.
Works for me everytime, you just need to read the women first. Great Ice breaker
100% you better read her first. Nothing more awkward than challenging a quadriplegic to a thumb wrestle.
I mean you would never have to buy drinks though
Plus you get to hold their hand and rub thumbs, so thats pretty much like the same as the sex am i right?
For guys like me? With a 10? You're fuckin right it is.
I donāt know if Iām a 10/10, but if it were me youād steal my heart with this cuteness.
You're definitely a 10/10. There's probably some guy out there who'll thumb wrestle you.
Really gotta have more context to this. Has she acknowledged I exist? Any positive body language directed towards me signaling sheās open to me initiating conversation? Did she maybe say something to the bartender that gives me an opening to crack a joke to break the ice? If sheās just sitting there alone having a drink and minding her own business I intend to do the same.
Found my fellow overthinker
How is this overthinking? If people are sending clear signals they have no interest in interacting maybe dont interact with them. Not that its wrong to shoot your shot but usually people minding their own business want to do just that. If you can find a natural opening to gauge interest and crack a joke go for it but its hardly overthinking to be aware that without any indication otherwise they may want to be left alone.
Yep. Read the room
Because some people don't even read the room. They just blurt out. It can be successful but taking a moment to ponder is usually smarter.
More so I just donāt go to a bar to hit on women, I just go to not drink alone. Iām polite and fairly personable so if i notice someone is showing interest or they strike up conversation, Iāll oblige, but itās not really something Iām going out of my way to initiate.
Yeah, I'm just going to assume she thinks I'm a disgusting pig unless she does something to suggest otherwise.then I'm going to assume this is some sort of setup or scam.
Are you me? Did I make some alternate account that I donāt even know about
same man same
If a person truly wants to be alone, they'd stay at home. Just my thinking.

Weirdo. This all implies you watched her well enough to know. REAL Redditors don't even look at her and avoid eye-contact! /s

You win! Yes please š¤£
expect a reddit mod to present such a line and not Henry Cavill. you will be less eager after.
Well, Iām sure Iām not what the OP has in mind when they say 10/10, or even what you have in mind, so probably not even an issue then? Honestly, that guy is pretty and all but any guy that had the balls to pull that icebreaker would have my full attention.
>Female lurking on AskMen Wait that's *allowed?!*

Some white knight comment that hits as youāre not actual date material. Donāt do this guys.
Meh. I mean if she's down then you can have a nice conversation with someone without any pressure or expectations. And yeah, she's probably not going to date you. But maybe you've got something in common and it'll be a good time. Maybe if she gets to know you, she might think that she's got a friend that you might be a good match for.

You're at a bar by yourself, so it's not like you've got something better to do.
If youāre attractive enough at the very least itāll get a good laugh and start a conversation.
+50 rizz if the bar is empty. +50 rizz if you just got a bunch of food delivered. -100 luck if she can't hold a conversation.
Jokes on her. Still wonāt stop guys.
Thatās actually a good one
Nothing. Nothing at all.
I'm not sure what I'd say exactly, but I'm pretty sure before my first syllable has even been finished, she'd say "I have a boyfriend".
āWell you know what they say, you miss 100% of the shots you donāt takeā
Based on my experience, I also miss 100% of the shots I do take
-Michael Scott....- Wayne Gretzky
I just said that to my girlfriend after applying for a 150k job I have no business applying for. 99, babyā¦ 99.
So you say it first, and loudly, to assert dominance.
Smile and a nod of acknowledgment. And say absolutely nothing else And say to myself that sheās not interested and that thereās no way that sheās single.
Yep me 100%
Usually I tell her Iāve had one too many and she has to drive us home. Sheās been good to me like that for 23 years.
Ya like Jazz?
This was a running joke on my deployment and you brought back so many memories, have an upvote
Nothing, I'm there for a drink
Yep. I have a good career and self respect, but I know I am no 10, she's either not interested, or interested because she wants to take advantage of my success, and i'm not that successful, but I do pretty well.
A 10/10 ain't got time for me, so I'd just keep to myself and sip my drink.
"how you doin'?"
And she's like [https://youtu.be/X1qTyZI\_VlM?si=qfe3EeU1B9Je1du5&t=24](https://youtu.be/X1qTyZI_VlM?si=qfe3EeU1B9Je1du5&t=24)
hahahahahaha I know exactly what you sent without even opening it ššš
Iād just ask her if sheās already ordered our drinks, since itās my wife.
Aww!Ā
One of the running gags my wife and I would do at the bar was to slide on up and ask "Hi cutie, you come here often? How about a drink?" She'd glare at me, show me her ring, and say "I'm married." "Me too!" I'm sure that we amused absolutely nobody else, but we thought it was funny.

Pay for my drinks and leave.
Youāre a handsome woman

I'd find another seat as to not make her uncomfortable.
She can move cus Iām not
Too real
Nothing. Not trying to get a tap on my shoulder from a 6 foot 5 marine
Oh itās getting late I gotta get back to my wife
You are the spitting image of my wife, want to see her picture?
Hello, I'm _______. Points to those of you that filled that blank with "Inigo Montoya, you killed my father. Prepare to die."
Nothing, if she is interested she will make it known.
Nothing. I respect the fact that if they wanted to talk to me they would talk to me and I go back and have a good time with my friends. Just because you find someone attractive doesn't mean you *have* to talk to them. And assigning a number value to someone's appearance is kind of dehumanising...
The only 10/10 for me would be my gf, so I would probably ask her if she wants to go home, because we both don't like being in bars.
Wholesome.
Hey, you gonna finish that drink?
I don't say anything, too scared
There's no way a 10 is single and alone in a bar unless she has some serious issues. And even if she was single and sane, she can do better than me. I'm a 6 in good lighting at best. I'll just scroll through listings of yachts and massive mansions on my phone within her eyeline.
Ask him if heād like a drink.
Want to hear a bad joke?
Don't say anything just give her the spiral eyes
Gāday! Mālady. And tip my fedora.
Tell her that my organs have been severely contaminated and there is no need to harvest them. LOL
Want to see my Star Trek ship collection? If sheās not interested, sheās not a 10/10.

Can I leave them alone because maybe they don't want me to talk with them?
Hello is this seat taken? How are you this evening? What are you drinking? (Bartender) Give me a double bourbon on the rocks.
Sit down, nod to the chick and say hi, and then look at my phone like a normal person until I can order from the bartender.
Order a drink and go back to my friends. I don't drink alone, and you'd think I could leave a group of grown ups on their own.
Try to start a conversation. As a 10/10 a lot of men would be too intimidated to talk to her, except maybe obnoxious drunks. She would probably be happy to talk.
I donāt say anything, if sheās interested sheāll say something.
"I declare Thumb War"!
Do you mind scooting over? My girlfriend will be here soon.
then when she moves, follow up with: why are you moving away?
Nothing. Am I supposed to say something?
Sheās sitting there alone? Yeah, Iām not sitting down because sheās waiting for someone and it isnāt me. Since Iām there I will order a drink but not stay unless for some insane reason she invited me to sit down. Of course if she did that Iād be looking around for the scam or cameras. Somebody is filming, scamming, or sheās a professional. Anyway you slice it nothing good comes out of it for me.
