Hey ladies…
Women of Halifax, I have an exercise that I’d like you to try: Turn your head, look into my eyes, smile. There we go. Now you know how to flirt and how to attract a guy. You see, I’m not from Halifax. And I’m an attractive, smart and caring guy. But I ca

lol, could it be that maybe they are just not interested. If you are tired of it, make the first move and see what happens.
LOL maybe you’re really hard on the eyes. I think you should move on because there just isn’t enough room in Hfx for you AND your ego. The women in Hfx are generally beautiful, intelligent, and have full confidence in that fact. Maybe, just maybe, they aren’t attracted to lil ole impatient you! PS I’m a woman (not gay or bi) and I noticed that about Hfx women so I’m sure our Hfx men are acutely aware of it too. They don’t seem to have an enormous problem attracting these wonderful women. Which begs the question …..
I like the women in Halifax, And I like the fact that men don’t harass the woman like in other cities/countries that I have been to. The woman in Halifax are very beautiful and I think that they have just the right amount of flirtatous behaviour, anything else would be nasty.Maybe if you are so hard up for women looking at you, try Boomers, I am sure that they will satify your need (and then some!)Anyway, Thanks to the ladies from Halifax for making this shy-guy blush so often!!!
You can always pay for it. They’ll look at your eyes all you want
OMFG! dude maybe you should look in the mirror and see if you not missing something!
Are you serious you a-hole? Why von,t you pleeze look into mi eyez? What a stupid thing to bitch about, you,re ugly ok? Just run along now and hang on to your pathetic desperation a bit longer.
I think the ladies in Halifax would prefer if the men were more outgoing in their pursuit. I have many single friends who are constantly complaining that the men in this city are too shy to approach a woman. Then again, this is a university city (mostly) and when going to the clubs it is like a daycare and I have to admit interacting with 20 year olds is enough to make me want to run off a building (no offense). I think we should have a club where it is 25 and older, maybe that would round up some good ole fashion flirting;)
Ever think that maybe they’re trying to avoid your creepy stares and are not shy but uncomfortable with the unwanted attention?
I thought those would be the typical responses and I was right. Actually I’m very easy to look at, very easy going and if you haven’t lived elsewhere you really don’t know the difference. And yes I’m moving to the West Coast more for my career. But a bonus will be confident women. And I have asked plenty of women out and been on a lot of dates. But lack of confidence will show on a date just like it does initially. Oh and I am talking about attractive women who are shy. You see an unattractive woman will be more confident due to necessity. But it’s the women I find attractive that are shy (slim, takes care of herself, nice eyes etc..). But on the west coast they know they are attractive, most aren’t cocky about it, and they don’t act like school girls.
dude… see ya
School girls – Perhaps you are looking at those of school age, therefore act like that.
Um, wow dude! You think the women here aren’t confident because they avoid your stares? Most likely they are trying not to invite your unwanted attention. I feel bad for the women on the West Coast! Good riddence to you though, we have enough creepy men here already…
well, if the case is “Halifax” women and not just you, or a coincidence in any way…they’re not going to change for some guy that moved from out west. maybe if its a huge problem, you should move back?
Perhaps they act like school girls, because they are. Or maybe they are already involved and just wanted to check you out, you know have a glance
Just look around. The women are either fat-asses or they’re the kind you describe, but only go after the K-Fed wannabes. Forget it, it’s a lost cause. Like a previous poster said, daycare’s in and high school will go on forever. Your solution would be to move and not bother with the pea-brains around here who’ve never lived anywhere else for more than a month or two. If you want to improve your chances, don’t bother dressing up, since they have no idea what style is and will only frown upon you as a snob from Toronto (they love to blame Toronto). Just feed them lots of beer, stuff their faces with pizza from pizza corner or find a good poutine for them. No wonder they’re the fattest people in Canada.
Well good luck getting a date now. Your bitch was lost on us Halifax women because we don’t give a fuck. Reading your posts gives me an idea as to why you don’t date, you’re ovbiously NOT easygoing if a little work on the dating scene riles you up this much…and I guess us Halifax women can see right through facade. You are too insecure to approach us (cause Lord knows we are an attractive bunch) and we are just not intrested in approaching you probably for reason stated above. Enjoy your West Coast women and we’ll enjoy our down-to-earth East Coast guys who know how to talk to beautiful, confident, sucessful, smart and funny East Coast women.
Man, your all over the place.Did you even read your reply before you hit submit?You come off as dissillusioned because women aren’t coming in their pants the moment you make eye contact.Your probably trying too hard and come off as too needy.Thats the biggest turn off.Relax,engage people, be genuine, smile, be open and I bet any women who is at all interested will let you know by making eye contact with you.Your not gonna get laid everytime you go out, get over it.
Then I would definately guess you are in your early-mid twenties.I am not slim, even though I take great care of myself, am more athletic can outrun any skinny bitch who lives on Cheetos and beer because mom has good genes. The ‘slim’ and ‘take care of herself’ do not always go hand in hand. But once you are confident enough to handle a confident woman, you’ll find that out one day.I do not dress like a whore and I will not go home with you from the bar. Because I am confident. I am not confident out of necessity ( that gave away your age b.c you obviously don’t know what it’s like to be confident), I am confident because yes I have inner beauty which radiates to the outside, I am a good person, funny, witty, smart, awesome career and great friends and family and life is fucking good for me. YOu never looked at me on the street when I looked at you because I am not what pieces of shit like you , term as “HOT”. Grow some balls and fuck off out west where all the burly men named Bubba go to work who will make lots of eye contact with you among other things.Those slim attractive girls, probably already have decent boyfriends and don’t need you anyway.Slap a diaper on yourself and head west where the grass is always greener. You’ll learn about that one, someday too, son
Weeelllllll it’s a college city, paitence…. Maybe… if you weren’t so …. self centered….ahem…or should i say … cocky?Girls around here aren’t stupid, and most can tell what kind of person you are when they look into your eyes. i.e: if you think you’re good looking, and you know it, then girls around here are likely to avoid you.
This is the strangest bitch I have ever read. It doesn’t really make any sense. About the only point I can pick up is the same ole drawn out point of someone from away comparing Halifax to somewhere else they have lived. I am sure Haligonians who move elsewhere do the same, though. Still, it is pretty funny bitch; not too sure it is serious, or the ramblings of a drunk yet, though
Hey, take it easy on this guy…all you people who wrote in that maybe he was just ugly- that’s nasty! I’ll say this- the nicest guys I’ve dated are NOT from Hfx. It seems local guys DO NOT know how to treat a woman and that’s probably why we’re shy about making eye contact…it’s like they think they are too cool to talk to you when really, it’s their lack of confidence. I’m soooo glad I’m not single and out there anymore! Good luck to you all!
STop whining,You want something, go for it. I hate rookie cassanovas….
Keep on digging that hole, buddy.
You… are a moron and I’m pretty sure everyone hates you. “You see an unattractive woman will be more confident due to necessity.” What the fuck are you talking about? First you want the hot chicks to be more confident, but according to your above statement that would make them unattractive. Hrmm? Maybe they’re just avoiding your skeezy come-ons. Let’s see a picture and then we’ll decide whether you’re worth a smile or not.
Please move already.
Do you look like K-Fed? Do you have all kinds of greasy run of the mill flames/barb wire tattoos? If you answered “no” to any of the above, then that’s the reason why the chicks don’t want anything to do with you. You see, you gotta have at least one crappy tattoo (the bigger the better) to go along with their ugly ass lower back tattoo.The majority of chicks under 30 around here (99%)have no idea what style is. If you have any, they’ll lable you as a snob. So do yourself a favour. Grab the baseball hat, dirty jeans and Tommy Hilfiger t-shirt. Then go downtown and spend all your week’s earnings. Get plastered. Do it 3 times a week and you’ll soon be part of the in crowd downtown. The ladies will be all over you then. As long as you got beer, then you got the ladies. Don’t bother going to a gym or any other activity that requires physical movement (other than shoving a pizza/donair in your mouth). You gotta be big to be good around here.
‘Tell it like it is’ and ‘No in denial’ get a fucking life. Here’s the best peice of advice you will probably ever hear in your pathetic lifetime….go to the nearest ATM, withdraw 20 bucks, go downtown HFX, find a hooker, have her give you a blow job…there isn’t that better?? Cause it fucking sounds like you have not been laid in a while! Holy Christ…what the fuck is up your ass…oh right, nothing:( So sad…
