13 thoughts on “Pickup Line Du Jour”

  1. If guys could get their hands on chloroform, I wouldn’t put it past them. When I was a kid, my buddy’s line was something like… “You’re the most beautiful woman I’ve seen today, will you marry me?”

    The response was usually a giggle and a no, to which he’d follow up with… “Then how about just the honeymoon?”

    Surprisingly he had a good success ratio with this. Must of been the girls he chose. I never figured it out.

    I think a sincere delivery was the key… and the stupid smirk he had on his face when he said it.

  2. Ken, any pickup line (e.g., “Wanna do it?”) will work if you have a sufficiently thick hide, and ask enough women (the “Boomhauer secret”).

  3. So asking one woman every ten years or so is insufficient? I may have to look into that… 🙂 Yes, the rate was a tad higher in my youth.

    “Wanna do it?” is about the level of seduction technique I have. Plus I’m lazy, and the whole concept of “game” seems too much like work. That’s why I miss the Seventies. In the Seventies, “Wanna do it?” was pretty much all the “game” one needed.

  5. I’d bet that line would have worked better than my old standby; “You don’t sweat much for a fat girl.” It may have been the reason I didn’t marry until my thirties.

  6. I usually say “Hi, how are you doing?” You’d be surprised how shocked some woman are that you just ask them a polite question and that it. They say, “Great! I’m doing good. How about you?” “I’m doing great…..” then nervously stare around the room trying to think of something to say next. Usually I just say, “Look! there’s a werewolf” *point and run away.

    Yah, they’ve got Josh fooled. He thinks woman think. Probably because, they are cunning and can out think us. Usually by telling us something we don’t remember (even if they have to make it up… and stand by it they will… until we apologize and swear we will never do it again. All the time wondering what the hell just happened.)

  8. But we know they know and they know we know; so, shrugs all around. Just talk about how crazy the bar is. “Whoa! I had a crazy time up here last time”, I says. Oh “you’ve been up here a lot?” I says, “Nope, if I was it seems like this place is crazy!”. “Oh, haha” confused look she gives, “Whatever!” “You want a drink?” with immediate, “YEA!”. Then, talk about how crazy that drink she ordered is and make loud noise and goofy face.

  9. Ok. I decided to put Rand’s suggestion to the test. I went to the local mall and as I walked around I tried to catch the eyes of the pretty girls. When I did I walk up to them smiling and ask, “Wanna do it?”

    I got a lot of responses, which I would have to characterize as generally negative. Also, I’m an ugly guy and as I was progressing the kicks and punches from various girls, boyfriends and husbands was making me uglier as I went along. Until finally security had me arrested. While sitting in jail I thought perhaps there’s something more to the approach I was still missing. So when I got out, I tapes a hundred dollar bill to my forehead and went back to the mall to try again.

    This time, when I asked, “Wanna do it?” I got more giggles and laughter. So I thought things are looking up even though I really wasn’t getting any positive results just yet.

    Finally I caught the eye of the most beautiful, smartly dressed woman about my age and went up to her…

    “Wanna do it?”

    “Sure”, she said (I knew Rand would never steer me wrong.)

    Then she reach up and gently removed the C-note from my forehead. She had a small purse that matched her outfit and neatly folded the bill up and put it into her purse. Then she looked into my eyes, with a look of pure love and said…

    “Do you know somebody?”
