    My experiences with talking to strangers are limited to asking for directions and getting scammed. YMMV. Overall, fuck strangers, leave me alone.

      What an awful outlook on life

      I’ve been knocking about for 50 years and I’d say it’s 15% cunts, 85% sound cunts

      I’ll be honest. I’ve had the complete opposite. Starting is kind of the same but it’s very easy to create a tag-along if you share any common goal. Literally yesterday I asked a girl at the metro for directions and we ended up talking all the way to her hotel (I then went my own way don’t think it like that).
