When standing at a bus stop are you asking a stranger: “What do you do for a living?”
To me that doesn’t seem like a good conversation starter.
“Do you know in many minutes the bus will arrive” can be a curiosity based question, that’s socially acceptable to ask.
I’m standing next to a stranger and that question comes into my mind, I notice that I have a question were I’m interested in the answer. I can either look at my phone and look at the bus timetable to figure out the answer or I can ask the other person.
There are many instances like that were you can choose the social way to deal with the situation.
I agree that PUA doesn’t give people what they’re looking for, most of my comment was intended to explain why. (Short summary: It’s about sex, not conversation.)
I think even for people who think they want sex, it often doesn’t deliver on it’s promise.
