So I can open up a conversation with a stranger pretty easily. I'm a pretty low key person in general so I guess that helps put women at ease. I'll approach, say some stupid line, and we'll get to talking.. Problem is most women are boring as fuck so unless I keep rattling random shit off like I'm senile the conversation will inevitably die. This is easier done when inebriated of course, but even then it can be difficult to conversationally maneuver past some of the "entertain me" blank voids I get. If she does respond it usually only works to suck out any momentum I have managed to procure from very thin air.

SO that's the problem; I open, we talk, I try to keep some semblance of a conversation alive but eventually the conversation dies with her continuing to blankly stare at me to provide more. I've gotten to the point now where I don't even care when this happens. I just think, "Well... that was fun while it lasted" and start talking to someone else.

Is it possible that these anemic responses are a sign they just aren't interested and they're trying to tell me to move on? I find that hard to believe given that this seems to occur even when her visual cues are positive (smiling, giggling, lots of eye contact)

I know RP is an advocate of the "give no shits" approach but to be honest, I don't find this to help this problem.

I don't listen to Bruno Mars, I don't watch House or Breaking Bad. I haven't been trained in the art of dashingly non-offensive feminist-friendly self-deprecating humor. I don't iron my cuffs or care about Che Guevara or read Vonnegut. I don't have charming little stories about what happened when I went to AT&T. I'm not going to bonnarroo and I'm not gonna see Deadpool. I'm not voting for bernie and I'm not impressed by your ability to simultaneously whore yourself out while maintaining a simmering self-righteousness over your having a vagina.

I'm not gonna feel lucky just to talk to you or kowtow to your patronizing demeanor. And I'm not gonna dutifully service you with more banter just because you're too special to have to be polite and reciprocate when someone engages with you. Millennials in general, but millennial women in particular are possibly THE most insufferably boring, superficial, judgemental, blind-to-their-own-overwhelming-hypocrisy, devoid of substance, narcissistic, group-thinking do-nothings that have ever existed. It doesn't even take that much to get a conversation going but somehow it seems they've ruined even this most basic human function.

I know I'm exaggerating but really I'm not. Sorry for the rant

TL;DR- How to move past the initial open when attempting to converse with inanimate objects.
