No wonder they gave you funny looks, WTF - why would a girl know where a barber shop is? lol.

Indirect is even worse for day-game than it is for night game. You're asking a random question then trying to keep a conversation going after you have your answer, which just seems totally weird TBH. More normal in a social setting, but on a street, no. Added to this they're in the mindset of going from place A to place B, why would they want to stop and have a conversation with a random stranger, either a guy or a girl?

I suggest doing such research on a good structure for day-game. HINT: you have to be direct. Take a look here Vids | Sasha PUA
