This is a lot like walking into a store, attempting to flirt with the female worker(s) and then walk out having bought a shirt. It means absolutely nothing. And saying hello to every one that passes you by on the street is a lot like me standing up and greeting everyone in the main lobby at my work place at 6 in the morning. Unless they're CEOs or other big wigs, people want to be left alone. You're too eccentric and view it all as a PUA success when you really shouldn't.

"people want to be left alone"

Maybe you do, but I certainly don't. I quite enjoy it when a random person starts a conversation with me. Anyways you seem to be missing the point of why I was doing the exercise. I'm just trying to practice my social skills, which will eventually help me meet women. The only way for me to practice my social skills is to open up my mouth and say something, and to do it often so I get better at it.

I guess I can't blame you, considering how many people come here pretending to know all about our lives and trying to convert us to their doctrine. It's just that this thread in particular doesn't sound like that to me: nothing about seduction or gimmicks. I agree that it's clearly not aimed at people like you, you're even way ahead of the average "normal" in regards to socializing.
