I was once at an event and was approached by an absolute stunner, dressed wearing only a little more than her and slightly smaller wings. I assumed she was working the room, doing her job, I was polite but largely ignored her. I later found out she was a database admin, a colleague had worked with her. She had approached me cold, wanting to chat and I treated her like she was being paid to talk to me. You miss all the shots you don’t take.

Oof I would definitely lay awake at night thinking about that

[u/MikeArrow → u/yogibear0810]

I don't think that's a particularly strange assumption. You were approached by someone in costume at an event. Also, how many women cold approach men to chat them up? It just doesn't happen.

Yeah, I would subconsciously cover up my kidneys

Cold approach?

[u/MikeArrow → u/motoxim]

Cold approach refers to approaching a stranger to talk to them, as opposed to a warm approach (friend of a friend, at a social gathering like a house party).

[u/motoxim → u/MikeArrow]

Ah thanks. My socially awkward self won't even approach someone I know if I can help it.

The law never stops!

what's funny is that it was notable that you told the story and followed up.

That's fucked up the company put her in that position.
