I have an idea for a new quiz as I haven't had a quiz for a while but it will need some co-operation from Tara, Jen and any other women that inhabit these forums.

The idea is this -

You each get one go at a chat up line, preferably one you've used, but it could be made up

Then Jen, Tara etc. get to mark it out of 10 as to whether they think it would have worked on them if used by their current/last partner (or failing that, favourite film star)

Who's up for it?

It sounds like fun! Do pick-up lines actually work? I guess it depends on how drunk she is.

here are a couple standard i've seen guys use with no luck:
you're eyes are so deep i could drown in them? - of course they are... piss off...
hi! you want a drink? - not another moron...

pick up lines if you ask me don't work by them self...
you have to do it in a funny, relaxed way... and it depends on the situation

this is a scene my friend uses with a lot of success:
goes to a group of women, says "hi ladies". they of course give him the annoying look.
he smiles and says: "can you help me with something?" they usually say yes.
then he goes: i've lost a small cute dog here have any of you seen it? can you help me find it?
of course everyone knows there's no dog but most of the time this makes them laugh.
then he completly switches the subject and talks to them a few minutes... 10 max.
usually he comes back with 3 phone numbers...

Dont use lines have a dog with you.

I cant tell you how many times I have had atractive gals walk up and strike up a conversation when I had my dog with me.

And I am no Prize.

Horses work even better but its difficult to get them in the back seat of your car.

Dogs work great.... week old babies work even better. It's amazing!
I walked up to the shops a few times in the days after Miles came home, girls came running out of shops to see.

The difference is:

With a baby - they assume you are taken, and are primarily interested in the baby

with a dog - they assume you are the sensitive type (needing a companion... aka single) and they are interested in the dog & you

my theory at least

that's true jim.

maybe in US things work differently...
here dogs or other animals don't really make girls flock to you

I did get drunk once and rode my horse into a Wyoming bar.
It did not phase the bartender at all he just told me if he dumped I would be cleaning it up.
I orderd a Tequila for me and a beer for my horse. ( he served us Too! )

Come to think of it I did pick up a pretty gal that night.

Come to think of it when I was a kid we had a pet dog and he had great taste in women. All the ones I fancied he would leap on. Being Labrador size he was "difficult" to stop and it usually broke the ice at least when I "just about" managed to stop him from attacking their leg.

As far as chat up lines go. I did once try to convince someone I was an alien. It worked for a while then I realised that the music was so loud she couldn't understand a word I was saying

My best one is the one that got my now wife - Would you like a chocolate covered toe and a handful of jelly with a hamsters ear in it (and no I won't explain that other than to say that I mean Jelly as in the wobbly stuff that kids eat and not Jam as in what you put on toast for breakfast)

Jim, I thought it was Whiskey for the men and beer for the horses.

I have a rough one, it's from the old days.
You usually have to try it several times before it works though.

1. Find a girl (or just sit in the bar and wait)
2. "Hi!, you want to go to my place and have areal good .... ?!"
3. Repeat 1.

statistics say that the pickup rate is about 2%

yeah, girls adore dogs and women love dogs especially if they're still puppies, they're just adorable

I for one can't keep my hands off puppies and dogs whenever I see one.
They're very comforting and if a man walks his dog and spends time with it, then it tells us that he's caring and sensitive enough to know what his dog needs. And we assume that he'll take care of his woman like he treats his dog.

Oh by the way, we know if you're just faking the "caring" stuff.

Hey Corey, I think you use this approach a lot noh?
