I like this a lot, u dont seem like a bich and it makes u seem a bit kool. I definitley think its more of the long run that matters though.

[NT!]

to give a slightly more serious answer, most of the time chicks are sizing you up before you say anything, so the only time a greeting matters that much is if

1. you [censored] it up really badly

or

2. you are not very interesting or good looking and thus need to compensate

for the rest of us, just try not to drool or stare at her cans for too long

you can just shake their hands.. its fine, but you really dont have to, just open them

I get the sense that nothing about you is "to" manly.

I'd say just manly enough..

Look straight in the eye with a smile, and say hi, hello , how are you, nice to meet you etc depending on the formality of the situation; then say their names, it will help you remember who they are. Look for their cues as to shaking hands hugging etc and go with that as you are making eye contact. Eye contact is huge, you are giving them you at that moment of time, just you, what they or you do with it afterwards may be up in the air but you're in play. Oh, if this is Japan you are in don't do any of that crap, just bow or somethin.

yeah, bowing works good for japan.

You're supposed to wai or something in Thailand but I think thats BS. I just hug here because its really against their culture to hug but I think they dig getting some contact and mixing things up (sorta how I (we?) think its cool if a japanese person bows at us) and I can just claim ignorance.

OP was more for European/American Girls.

I'm presently doing something like the eye contact cue. If they look too uptight I'll just nod my head or shake their hand. Name thing is good, usually when I first meet someone I'm too busy concentrating on what I'm going to say to really listent to them at all.

Fist pump.

I usually throw them the rock or a big high five and goofy grin, because life is a big joke anyways. Any girl that won't high five you is an automatic throwaway, also.

Nothing gets me in good with a new chick like my "down-low / too-slow" rope-a-dope.
