I find it difficult to not be passive when approaching women

Partly because I'm not confident, and partly because I wouldn't know what to do next.

    Popular advice suggests maybe if you do drink and see them in a social situation where drinking happens, a bit of alcohol helps.

    According to the ancient Hindu Dharmashastras, you have eight possible ways to win her. From best to worst:

    1. Finish school, then have your parents approach hers asking for her hand in marriage.
    2. Become a priest, wait for her parents to ask you to marry her (in both senses).
    3. Ask her parents if they'll sell her for two cows.
    4. Be such good marriage material that her parents ask you to marry her despite not being a priest.
    5. Try to buy her at a price way more than two cows.
    6. Just talk to her until there's enough affection that she consents to sex.
    7. Attack her house, overcome her relatives by force of arms, and carry her off.
    8. Get her drunk and take advantage of her.

    If you must eat a phoenix, boil it, do not roast it. This only encourages their mischievous habits.
    0. Be a good person, be a good friend and court her without being creepy.

    There's no zero in the Dharmashastras. That can't be an oversight, because we're talking about the people who invented zero,

    Eye contact helps, although staring doesn't.

    Chicks the battalion of tanks, I guess.

    • I know there isn't.
      There should be.

    ^ What you suggested is redundant with Gandharva marriage (#6), though.

    (Gandharvas are mythic beings, music-playing demigods who perform in the courts of the Devas. Ancient Hindus knew the surest path to getting women's consent was to be a rock star.)

    No, it's not. There's a difference between talking to her until there's enough affection there, and actually being nice to people.

    ^ The definition of a Gandharva marriage is any mating by mutual consent. It's distinguished from higher forms in that the parents are ignored.

    I am fairly sure I am opposed to Gandharva marriages now.

    > two cows

    You have two cows.  You trade them to a local family in order to have their daughter's hand in marriage.

    Cows in Hinduism are sacred.

    Like, "above humans" sacred. Which is completely fucking stupid to me, but eh, religion.

    arn't you religious Chagen?

    [tɕagɛn]
    Yeah, but placing a farm animal above humans is dumb to me.

    Humans are, and always will be, the superior species over all other animals.

    What Measure Is A Non-Human? also Zabu I can only gtive you the advice given to Chagen and I in his thread on girls. Females are people so appraoch them as such.

    ^ Yeah, I know that, but I'm not even sure if that's the main issue here.
