Lame Ways to Meet Women

I was out a bit over the weekend and I’m always amazed at what some guys think will work to get a woman’s attention.

Maybe it’s just that I’m cynical or maybe it’s because I’m a little older than some of the girls that I see out, but damn, don’t you know when something sounds stupid? Isn’t there a filter in your head?

Here are the top ones from this weekend:

1. I heard a 50-something year old man offering a group of 20-something’s discounted surgery because his ex-wife is a surgeon… NOT appealing.

2. Saying to a tall woman - “Boy, you’re tall!”. Really? Is that all you’ve got. Don’t you know she’s probably really tired of hearing it.

3. Allowing a woman to let her put make-up on you (lipstick, eye-shadow, blush and mascara) is not going to make her want to go out with you. It’s just going to make her run… FAST.

4. Showing a group of girls a breast implant to strike up a conversation is just plain disturbing.

Are some of you really at a loss? Start with “hello”. Don’t try too hard to be clever or witty, it doesn’t work… especially when you’re not.

    But what else am I going to do with that breast implant I carry in my bag?

    You know what actually worked on me(nothing has ever worked b/c I am not single I am in a 5 yr relationship) A new employee told me that he was going to take me to dinner I told him I am not single. Later on he told me he knew I was going to be thinking of him while I was in bed with my man that night…and I still can’t stop thinking of him.

    Coming up with corny lines, while pathetic, shows how difficult it is for people to introduce themselves to people they might find attractive. Sure, it can be annoying, but look at the bright side–someone thinks you’re at least attractive. It’s getting more and more difficult to meet people, and there are a lot more single people these days staying single, some not by choice. Alternative methods should always be considered, especially if it’s to improve your happiness.

    that was funny, i have heard many of tehse silly stories myself too, it seems the average new yorker has dumbed him(her)self down for the sake of meeting and hooking up with people of a lesser caliber. i take pride in my accomplishments and i have been very successful in the journeys of my life but these things arent important to women at bars and clubs anymore, NYC is not the NYC i grew up in nor remember, but thats the way it goes, things change, if you dont like it, move to venice beach where time stands still…i want a woman to see how special i am, i wont find that at a bar in nyc any sooner than the knicks make a smart trade!(kidding, somewhat).
    anyway, a new year brings new challenge, i will go out optimistically trying to be a knight in tarnished armor for a poor deserving damsel, hopefully she’s not so poor..he he..happy 2006 all!
