Just merged all these topics (there were 3 of them, all separate).
For those fellas wondering if this heralds some new age and the end of meeting women any way except via introductions through a member of the girl's family or at the county dance after dancing with her for an hour, there've been things like this happening as long as guys have been approaching random women.
There is always SOME dude with low social awareness who tries his best to do everything he sees his favorite PUA do, without fully understanding the underpinning of the actions or how they're supposed to work or what they're supposed to do, and remaining oblivious to the reactions that women give him, which stymies his learning a good deal and means he continually struggles to improve.
When I first start participating in forums about this stuff in late 2005, there were occasional guys getting kicked out of places and told not to come back because the patrons were spooked. It's most common in gyms, shopping malls, or anywhere else that a guy just goes to over and over again and people start recognizing him and being weirded out by him. It's a tough problem for these guys, and I think what makes it the worst is that they do not realize they're doing it, or recognize what they're doing that's in the wrong because they don't have the same social triggers everyone else does (e.g., if someone did the same thing to them, it likely wouldn't register as "bothersome").
So long as you're not going to the same place again and again, day after day, and you're responsive to the social cues that women give you (e.g., if she's clearly not interested, be warm, gracious, and make your exit, especially if you're in somewhere you go to often or people will otherwise recognize you or chase you away from), you'll be fine. If you have trouble reading social cues, just be aggressive in escalating compliance (see NJ's article here: "
How to Use Compliance Tests to Move Fast with Girls") early on, and if you don't get the compliance you ask for, rather than persist like crazy (which you can do, WHEN you're more advanced, but not when you don't know what you're doing yet), take that as a sign she isn't interested and exit the interaction - you'll save yourself a lot of headaches, and will quit wasting time on women who aren't feeling you and spend a lot more time with the women who are.
