So a few months back I had this random gorgeous persian girl off the street walk into my store and asked me if she could take my photo and I was like what tha?! and she explained to me that she was a psychology student and that she was doing a paper on love and all the different forms of love and the way its expressed. Anyway she explained to me that she loved the way I was dressed and I had obveously had a passion for fashion, or a "Love" for clothes and wanted to use a photo of me and my love of fashion in her assignment so I said sure. Anyway we got to chatting, I negged her a little bit about making up this whole assignment just as an excuse to take a photo of me and that I hoped she wasnt some weirdo who was going to post it all over the internet. Anyway I studied psychology myself so after negging her for a little bit we got into a pretty indepth conversation about the course she was studying and just as the conversation started to get really interesting I told her I had better get back to work before I got in too much trouble but we could finish the conversation some other time if she gave me her number and it was an easy number close from there.

Anyway, I was thinking. Has anybody ever tryd this? as in made up a fake survey and said that it was for school or for a news paper or what ever and just used it as an easy way to open and disarm women? Im really curious about trying it. The only problem is I dont study anymore and I try not to tell anything more than white lies when gaming women so I dont know quite how I would work it.

anybody got any ideas?

but it wasent fake..
i have a buisness (coffee shop) so i decided to go
out and bring the people to my place in an original way.

i asked them 3 queshtions and their answers helped me understand
how i should improve my buisness and also exposed my coffee shop
to the ppl i was talking to and their frinds.

it's and amazing way.. but it have to be real
tip: you can make up alot of real survay..

good luck

Yeh, thats what I was saying... you cant just make up a fake survey, you need to have a real reason to do it other wise you'll come across as creepy. One of my best friends just opened a new cafe a few weeks ago. maybe i should run that idea past him

yap, you should..
tell your frind that it will help his buisness and go out with him
during the day and just ask ppl..
the street is very hard at the begining..
i suggest you go out to a shoping mall, look for an empty stors
to start with and ask the sales lady..
then progress to shops with alot of ppl (=alot of answers)
and then go out to the streets..

my queshtions are:
1. what worries other ppl about coffee shops (it's tricki but it has to make them think)
2. how does that consurns you (that way you see if what the said is real)
3. what is the one thing that you want the most in a coffee shop

you will see that almost everyone will answer and alot of them will start talking with you and start to ask you queshtions...
it's realy realy fun..

enjoy!
oh, and i suggest you take a buisness card and maybe a gift (like free coffee card) to give away to the cute girls...
and take thair phone numbers and bithday dates (give them a call and invite them to the coffee shop on their birthday..)

Altough its a verry nice idea; u dont seem threatening, easy convo etc.

There is 1 aspect of "the survey" that i think u need to keep in mind. Thats the hostility towards surveys in general, in my home-city there has been a real survey-Boom. People actually run away from u when they see u walking with a clipboard.

I would say nice idea , but location is key here.

well, i know that survays are very common and annoying..
theres a way to get over it..

keep in your pocket a small notebook and a pen
and get them out only after you got the agrement to take
a survay.. i dont know how people react in your city but
no one have said no to me yet (exept 2-3 girls who were really busy..)

other than that, the survay approach is very usuful and easy..
grate way to start..
just make sure it's for a reason that appear to be real..
