What do woman expect to hear when approach by a man for the very first time.
What would be the correct words to say that will catch your attention.

Since none of the women seem to be interested in sharing the words that they would find a good introduction I think that pretty much sums up this situation.

You may want to start with "Hi, I'm Eddie."

Hi works pretty well. Look into their eyes and smile.

Trust me, all that is a lot harder that one might think, but it's pretty simple in the end.

Women can spot a line giver a mile off. The simple introduction has always worked for me. "Hi I'm Eddie," is just fine, anything more contrived, and I shut down.

yeah, just introduce yourself. as suggested above. keep it simple.

remember, in the words of SNL, there are three key things to help you succeed when approaching a woman: Be Handsome, Be Attractive, Don't Be Unattractive.

As far as I can tell, it doesn't matter much. As long as it isn't completely offensive, if they are interested they'll respond well, if not, they'll kinda give you the brush off.

Personally, just saying "Hello, I am Eddie" works great. Or if you are in a book store, saying, "I just read that, it was great" -

Are you talking about an on line approach? I like when someone either just says hello or they read something in the profile they can resonate with, like "I liked your profile and see we both love cooking. What's your speciality?" It is a good way to open up a conversation.
