Do women like straight shooters?

Sometimes. Depends, if you know absolutely nothing about us and only ask us out cuz of our looks then yes most girls would say no...

I think women looking for sex would go for it, but are all women looking for sex? Maybe not.

There are different ways to be so straight-forward about it. You could take it to an offensive level and say, "Wanna fuck?" You'll probably get a slap. You could also be sleazy and manipulative, telling her things like, "You're so fuckin' hot! Damn, I can't resist you." This might work, with the right woman.

Or you could work it with body language. Start by standing in their personal space - if they don't back away, it's a good sign. Think about it; when you are attracted to someone and they're in your space, you don't want them to leave it, so you'll allow them to stay. But if you're not attracted to them, you'll take a step back.

Here some more body language tips: If she touches her hair, which a lot of girls do, tell her she has sexy hair (you want her to feel sexy when she's near you). If you walk anywhere with her, gently guild her with your hand place on her lower back (not her ass). Make excuses to sit close together and do it, but don't ASK if you can - just do it. Ask her to dance: start off a normal distance apart, but get a lot closer half-way through the song and she might reciprocate. Make regular eye contact with her while her friends are talking. Order her a drink, and again, don't ask - just do, even if she doesn't drink it. If she hasn't backed off when you do these things, there's a good chance she'll be into you. If you decide to kiss her, don't ask - just do it, but don't go in with your mouth open and your tongue hanging out (gross). Even though I recommend not "asking" for a lot of these moves, I DO strongly recommend that when you do try, don't force it; if she's not into it, she'll let you know and that's when it's time to back off.

Anyone else have some suggestions.

As long as they like straight throwers (of Molotov cocktails).

I think is better a guy who is ok to say what he wants than an asshole who comes with a ridiculous teaser.
Be honest but not gross and it's all fine.

i like the chase so when guys make it too easy its an immediate turn off, its not until i like the guy then i like him chasing me but ye it cant b too easy else its no fun =P

Sometimes its refreshing. I hate when someone flirts but then doesn't go through with it.

For me, a guy can be a straight shooter or ease his way into it... doesn't matter to me.

Other:

It's better to be friends first and then just fall into love that way.

WoW there definitely is a middle line to stay on. Thanks for your comments!

being direct can show confidence. it can also show insecurity if you do it wrong

I like directness (not cockiness), but I also like to see them dither and squirm a little. It's cute and shows that it matters to him. True, when we like a guy it doesn't matter all that much how he approaches us. So don't be afraid of getting rejected. If she's a bitch about it, you wouldn't want her anyway. A nice girl would at least have the decency of letting you down gently.

Yes. I do most of my judging on the first date not awkward pre-date flirtation time. Straight shooters are good because you find out quickly whether you like each other or not.

I would like to ask a random women if they would like to sit down and have some coffee or tea on me and chat. I'm not afraid of rejection, i just wonder what women think.

LOL er...I just posted something about not liking flirtation and preferring "straight shooters" a couple of days ago. Did you happen to read it?

i dont mind it its easier

I feel like it really depends on the person and you. Like, some poeple if they just asked me out right then, I would instantly say yes; other times i need to get to know them. Ihave said yes in both situations, it depends on your instant relationship with them.

I feel it takes the fun out of the equation although I wouldn't feel discouraged.

I wonder the same. Sometimes I just want to put all the cards on the table and see what happens.
