i mean people tend to like confidence, also you get to stop wallowing in ignorance. conventionally attractive or not, either they say yes or no and then you get to move forward from there. going from not knowing to knowing, that is a positive.

You should know when it is appropriate to ask and when not:

Don'ts:

  • complete strangers
  • people who cannot retreat, e.g. cashiers, waiters and the like, on a busy train/bus in an elevator etc.
  • people clearly not in a space to socialize.
  • asking for sex
  • being ambigious about intentions

Do's:

  • people you held a normal conversation with before
  • in a space where they are comfortable and either party can leave easily if things get awkward
  • being clear about it being a date
  • public place with individual privacy, e.g. going out for a coffee
  • no alcohol or other drugs

Don't forget the most important 2:

  • Be attractive

  • Don't be unattractive

What is attractive and unattractive is always relative. I have seen fat girls with thin guys. And fat guys with thin girls. Many people who seemingly had a major disconnect in looks. But both found one another attractive.

For me I am quite OK with a chubby gal as much as a petite gal. But I am not attracted to either extreme. I knew an anorexic-like skinny girl and I found her far less attractive than even a very obese girl. The anorexic gal generated some concern for me because she was clearly starving, but couldn't eat much. Not due to a fear of getting fat, but to a metabolic issue.
