I’m going to go out on a limb and bet that you’ve never approached anyone trying to break the ice in your life?

Manipulating a group of people to get an in is not a respectable way to approach anyone. Does it work sometimes, sure. Is it still a d-bag move? Yes. And I’m getting married in a few months so I’ve obviously approached someone, and not with tacky shit like this.

Fuck respect for others as long as you get yours, right?

So by the same token if I go up and say “hi I’m ____ congratulations on the wedding” that’s somehow more respectable? Am I not still invading their space and not giving them an easy out to tell me off if they’re not interested in talking?

If you think that blatantly manipulating people to get a conversation started is equivalent to being honest and introducing yourself, regardless of the outcome, you might want to re-evaluate. One is lying, the other isn’t. Not sure why that’s so hard to understand. Either way, how about just let them enjoy their night without trying to get your dick wet? They’re not there for you that night, or maybe any other night, especially with the way you feel it’s fine to manipulate them for your own gain.

Tell that to my fiancé dude. I’ve been out of “the game” for a while, and “the game” I played was chess to your checkers.

Adding any level of disingenuousness or playing dumb is manipulation. So what you are suggesting is adding a flavor of deceit to what you've just described as "intrusive".

Don’t even respond to this person lol they probably don’t like comedy shows because all the stories aren’t “real” and they’re manipulating the crowd into laughing

Seriously, a little breaking the ice tip and all of a sudden it makes me Mystery from VH1s “The Pickup Artist”… dude whatever you do after this is your business, it’s not about trying to have a one night stand.

That’s a pretty thin limb you’re going out on that’s going to snap under your ego.

Are there people who have never had to break the ice with a stranger before? At school? At work? To find a romantic partner? I’m not sure how you can get through life having never met anyone you didn’t already know
