Hey fellas,

I've always wondered if the weather has any impact on daygame street pickup at all. Let's not talk about the amount of people that will be on the street on a rainy day or sunny day, because I think that's irrelevant once you see a cute girl you would like to approach.

I haven't tried approaching girls on a rainy day because people just walk with their heads down carrying an umbrella (Hard to make eye contact, and it makes me feel kinda distanced), but does a rainy day put girls off from talking to an attractive stranger? I can almost count a handful of situations where I didn't approach cute girls because it was just pouring outside.
Anyone has any experience? and How do you guys open in these situations?
I can imagine saying something like this "...and I know this is kinda awkward because it's pouring and we're both getting wet. Let's move over there so we can talk." right after my opener. What do you guys think?

Howdy Smith,

I think this is a pretty fair thought to have when you're starting to approach. What's also important to remember is that she's still having an incredibly sexy man approach her in the middle of the street - and that's a pretty big event for a woman. The interaction between you and her is the first thing on her mind - the rain an afterthought.

You do bring up a good point at the end, which is acknowledging the rain. Wouldn't really make sense to bring it up if you're under a roof/cover, because...why would you need to? But if you're being pelted by rain during the approach, it's a great opportunity to get her to invest (i.e. "Here, let's get out of this rain real quick" and move under some cover with her)

In my experience, it does affect me because so few people are out. When it rains where I live, there are so few people at the grocery stores, malls, etc. I'll mainly see people during lunch and at the movies after work, unless it's a special holiday (like Saint Patrick's Day).

First, I have no experience with this myself, but I wanted to simply comment on what I see in movies:

A guy without an umbrella runs up real quick and gets under an umbrella held by a pretty girl. He says with a smirk, "Mind if I share this with you? Where you headed?"

Usually movies are a bad source, but I think this could work. You're kind of going all in when you do this though; if she is married or is not as attractive as you thought, you're kind of stuck under the umbrella with her.

Just a thought.

On the street, yeah. In Florida it rains quite often, and approaching women in the middle of a shower almost never goes well because they aren't comfortable. They want to go inside and get warm and dry. It'd be best to approach women indoors, where they are comfortable and open as opposed to closed and uncomfortable.

That being said, I do have a rather charming lay where I seduced a girl outside in the middle of a tropical storm. But those were rather extreme circumstances ;).

Smith,

The weather can have an effect on the moods of the women, and other people you meet. I've noticed that people are generally warmer and more receptive during better weather as opposed to colder, darker, more gloomy weather. This does not apply to everyone, just an overall comparison of the two.

That by no means is saying that women are not receptive when it's pouring outside. Just like PD said, for a woman it can be a big thing meeting a sexy stranger in the rain.

Any chance of that as a report ;)

I guess fundamentals become more important than ever on rainy days huh!

haha I might try this if the opportunity present itself. You have to be REALLY confident to pull this one off.

Yea, people tend to walk with their heads down and shoulder slouching on cold and gloomy weather, and as we all know, physiology affects your mood, so weather can make people feel closed off. But screw that, I'm going to approach anyway! Not going to let the stupid weather affect my chance with the girl.

Would love to see that report Ross ;)
