I'm guessing he was in line at Burger Kind complimenting a fat pregnant chick on her ability to swallow a tripple whipper whole. And yes, he has a date tomorrow night.

I have repeatedly stated that I've watched the Pick Up Artist, that I've read Mystery Method and Magic Bullets (The book by the guy from the Pick Up Artist) that I subscribe to Infield Insider and So Suave. I've not hidden this at all.

Try a little comedy for opening lines. Always works for me!

Hi, my name is _____. I'm just curious. What would your husband think of you being in this bar tonight? (I've used that line, and twice, the response: How did you know I was married? I didn't! It was a wild stab in the dark!)

Hi! my name is _____.The buddy I'm with tonite tells me that you've been married 7 times but never divorced, and you had hefty life insurance policies on each and every one of them. You don't seem to be that type! True or False?

Hi! my name is_____. Would you like to do a bank robbery with me? I'm looking for a driver with a spotless driving record who wouldn't panic if a helicopter suddenly hovered over the car. Is that you?

Hi! my name is_____. I'm currently on parole after serving 20 years on a murder charge, and I swear it'll never, ever happen again. What's your name?
Where did you buy that pretty blouse?

Who knows. If it works for him, that's great. Myself, I've never had trouble picking up women.

Idk, I don't believe him. If it actually worked for him, he sure wouldn't be here telling us about it.

I guess I would like to give women (not including whores) in general more credit that they aren't dumb enough to be conned into a date by some dork on city-data who read a book.

I guess I should clarify that a lot of the time, I'm not necessarily at a bar.

It can be anywhere from a cafe on campus to the book store or at the gas station filling up.

I've always felt that one of the most awkward places to talk to girls is at the gym, haha.

There's a girl at work that I'm somewhat attracted to. I'm in the process of trying to get something going with her.

I use Opinion Threads a lot; I ask a strange, vague question needing a female opinion on something and when they ask why I'm asking, it gives me an opportunity to tell a brief story that portrays my qualities (thusly, Demonstrating Higher Value)

What are some of your qualities? What's unique about you? Any talents? Skills? Funny, interesting stories?

In the past 3 weeks, I've scored a one night stand, a frequent F buddy, another frequent make out buddy, plus a girl I'm working long distance until she gets back from vacation and a date with another tomorrow. I really don't care what happens to frilly dress.
