I'm tempted to carry a carp around with me, just to see the expression on her face when I pull it out.captaincabbage said:"Will you hold my drink? I need to take a carp."Marter said:"Would you hold my drink? I need to take a crap."
If she does it, she's a keeper.

Then you go out and catch a fresh carp for her.
Yes. Because pick-up lines are used as a means of introduction. Whenever one is used, without even wanting to get to know anything about me, he's asking me if I'm interested in a relationship. That just makes him come across as egocentric and desperate. It shows that he's not very good with introductions so he uses training wheels to break the ice.Housebroken Lunatic said:Even when used in a tounge in cheek manner?Lilani said:Seconded. I find them insulting, at best.
What kind of a social retard would use a pick-up line with a straight face? :O
This is wrong on so many levels. When you are in "friendship" your cat's dead, like we say. Game over, move on to the next woman. Women are emotional, they are about chemistry and attraction, PLUS that affinity and complicity that can be found in a friendship. But a man won't get squat (be it a loving relationship or plain sex) without her feeling that attraction, that butterfly feeling, for him. And it's not a choice, either you have it or you don't, and it is notoriously difficult to change a woman's viewpoint on a guy from being a "guy friend" to a "boyfriend".Lilani said:Most women want to think about relationships once they have a "friendship" established. This is because most women (except for bimbos and chronic daters) are looking for more long-term relationships--ones that could very well lead to marriage.

Works every time.
Not all of the time. Sometimes you pull out a good one for sheer humour. Sort of like telling joke.Lilani said:Yes. Because pick-up lines are used as a means of introduction.
Egocentric you say?Lilani said:Whenever one is used, without even wanting to get to know anything about me, he's asking me if I'm interested in a relationship.

Oh really?Lilani said:Something like "How are you this evening?" or just introducing yourself using something in context and then asking her about herself is much more natural and forthcoming. And you're putting the focus on her as a person--not on what you've seen externally until then. Most women want to think about relationships once they have a "friendship" established. This is because most women (except for bimbos and chronic daters) are looking for more long-term relationships--ones that could very well lead to marriage.
Guys who actually base their entire view of the opposite sex by some half-assed litterature by Neil Strauss about "having game" are pretty stupid and lame as well.WingedIncubus said:As for pick-up lines, only the stupidest, lamest of guys with no game will use silly pick-up lines like that, and women LOATHE guys who use these to approach them. Best to just approach them either with a contextual opener (like "Whacha' reading" if she's reading a book), or just say "Hey, how are you?" and move on from there when the ice is broken.
Wouldn't that be sort of an insult to say to someone?badgersprite said:Baby, you must be a mirror, because I can totally see myself in you.
