It is called being 'creepy'. Please don't do it or suggest it. The outcomes are neither favorable or painless (depending on whether it's a Taser or Mace). It is far better to send dozens of messages or interests in Tinder - than make a spectacle of yourself, be it US or India or EU/Asia

Nice limiting beliefs you have there.

If it was creepy I wouldn't date models.

No. Please don't do that. It's called Pick-Up Artistry, and it is toxic.

You will benefit more if you try to be a considerate human being, and not treat women like prizes, or prey to be captured. This way, you actually have a chance to healthy relationships.

Meh, honestly you can do it. It's more so a cultural thing. It also has nothing to do with treating people like prizes or prey, in a chill environment people are okay conversing with total strangers, but its very location dependent.

I met my last girlfriend this way. I know friends who found partners randomly chatting on the train, in ubers (pool when that was a thing), at bus stops etc.

Just dont be an asshole or a creep/creepy looking, and youd be surprised how receptive people can be

Please don't associate your preconceptions & biases with me.
