Adults use their words to communicate.
Children play games.
This is going to come off terribly, but do you talk to many people IRL? There's no game here, just humans being humans.
That said, perhaps not your preferred types of humans, which is perfectly fine. If anything, not engaging people the way I describe here could be a filter for the kind of people you prefer to interact with. Really isn't anything wrong with that, though others may find it a bit constrictive.
If what you're doing makes you happy and secure in your relationships with people, then more power to you!
No why the fuck would I talk to random people?
And yes, charades is a game, it's not flirting.
People don't want to be approached in public unless they are boomers or older.
Maybe you should ease up on giving advice and making proclamations on how to talk to random people then
That is how you talk to people.
You don't unless they make it clear they want to be bothered.
Sure if you are in a bar or a club that's expected, but anywhere else please ffs don't approach women.
What is how you talk to people?
Also I'm not sure how to square "unless they make it clear they want to be bothered" with your rejection of body language and subtlety.
If a woman wants to talk to you they will.
Don't try to fuck women in public.
Don't approach them.
It's as simple as that.
No one is saying to try to fuck women in public
