00:00 do you talk to a woman wearing headphones? You don't. By this point you've
00:03 probably heard about the dumbass blog post enraging people all over the world.
00:07 It's called "How to talk to a woman who is wearing headphones." You may be thinking,
00:11 "Hmm, if a woman's wearing headphones, maybe it means she doesn't want to be
00:15 approached by strangers." Nah, according to this guy, she's just waiting for you
00:20 to get her attention. It comes from the modern man writer Dan Bacon. He calls
00:24 himself a "relationship expert" and mostly writes advice about how to pick up women.
00:28 In the article, Dan details how to get a woman to take her headphones off. We know
00:33 you're capable of just going and reading it yourself, but let's be honest. Are you
00:36 going to? I didn't think so. We'll talk you through it. First, you stand one meter
00:41 away from her. Next, you have a confident, easygoing smile. Then say, "Hey, how's it
00:46 going?" The fourth step is to pantomime taking off a pair of headphones and say,
00:51 "Hey, can you take your headphones off for a minute?" Next, you're supposed to say,
00:54 literally, "Hey, I know it's not normal for people to talk to someone with
00:58 headphones in, but I was walking along and saw you and thought, 'Wow, she's hot. I
01:03 have to come over and say hi. I'm Dan. What's your name?'" That's what he wants
01:06 you to say? Are you f*cking kidding me? Let me tell you the last time I took my
01:10 headphones off for somebody that was talking to me, okay?
01:12 I was running, and this guy with a man bun, which gets me every time, came up next to me, and he said
01:21 something to me, and so I took it out, and he said, "I really like your hair." And I
01:24 was like, "Thank you. I like your hair." And then I was like, "Cute dog." And he was like,
01:27 her name's something. It's named after some herb. And then I go, "Are you wearing a
01:31 tank top with dress shoes?" And he goes, "Oh, yeah." And then I, he got to the dog park,
01:35 so I ran away.
01:36 At this point, the girl will reportedly fall in love with you, as I'm sure has
01:43 worked for Dan many times. Dan also explains that the main mistake people
01:46 make is giving up too easily or sticking to polite conversation. Obviously, people
01:52 on Twitter have a lot of thoughts about this. Let's look at them.
