unxpurg8d and I have a question for the guys of the board....

Ok, this is related to the women of the week thread. We have a question about men. But of course any women are free to respond too. 😉

Why is it that men think lines like: "Hey baby! You're hot! Can I have your phone number?" or the hundreds of other cheesy ones are actually going to get them some action? And does it really work? I know I tend to laugh at men and their lines, but hey, maybe some women actually fall for them.
 
I dunno, i've never tried that line, but i guess some guys actually do pick up girls like that, amazing, and kinda sad. Oh well, looks aren't what i look for the most in a girl, it's her personality.
 
It's prolly an EGO thang!

I never tried those kinds of lines and that would probably explain a lot!! LOL

Seriously though. If a guy honestly thinks he can pick up woman with lines like that, he's probably aware that 9 times out of ten they ain't gonna bite! But that 10th time... He scores! And he's willing to accept being turned down alot!

Oh Lordy, I am going to watch this thread, it will be interesting.....

I wondered the exact same thing yesterday, I walked to the store, a short 10 minute walk, along the way I was honked at, yelled at and one 'gentleman' even asked if I wanted to go home with him and bonk (there are some desperate people in the world). I returned the query with various hand gestures. Now I can understand (alittle, maybe) if I was walking along wearing a short skirt with half my chest hanging out, but that wasnt the case... When I got to the store the cashier asked where I am from, I told him, he said 'Gawd, I hear the men are sexist there, you wont find that here'. My mouth hung open. I was speechless...

For the men who do it... does it actually work ? How often does it work ?

(Oops that is not to say that men who frequent this forum are desperate, its just something I dont understand and alittle insight would be interesting. )
 
ROFL...sure, sure.... I step away for a few minutes and some evil little instigating wench drags sweet little ol' ME into wickedness. 😛



I think it's a pack hunting method, actually. Very seldom do they do it alone, but get two or more together and they've got a million different lines - all of 'em guaranteed to make me wanna run over and write my phone number in lipstick alllllllll over their trucks. Sigh.
 
Lines are lame. Give a warm smile, say Hi, and introduce yourself. If she returns the smile then she's interested and you keep going. If not, you give up and can get out without making yourself look like an undersexed fool.
 
Actually, my wife fell for my lines.

I was the First Voice in Dylan Thomas' "Under Milkwood" and she caught the performance.

Unfortunately, she then heard me sing during my audition for "All About Eve" about 2 weeks later. (I didn't get a part.) Nonetheless, she ended up marrying this tone deaf baritone.

So, I'd say knowing your lines is very important. 😛

 
LMAO - unxpurg8d

The ones that me laugh are men who, while thinking up a 'line' hastily try to remove the wedding ring. I had one of those not too long ago, when he started, I stopped him half way through and asked him if he needed help finding his wedding ring... Those tan lines show, especially straight after summer... :Q
 
The lines are funny to pull out once in a while, but I don't think I could ever deliver one seriously. I always bust out laughing halfway through.
 
<<Oops that is not to say that men who frequent this forum are desperate>>

Trust me, most of them are!! 😉

I tell ya what, I've always thought those kind of lines were incredibly stupid, until I met a guy in college that always used stupid cheesy lines like that -- and they worked. Very well I might add. It comes down to, if she happens to be looking for 'something' and he looks decent, than a line (any line, no matter how stupid) might be enough for them to talk and hook up.

I'm passed that stage now though - I've graduated to &quot;my retirement home or yours?&quot; 😉 heheheh J/K
 
Yeah, &quot;Want to come to my church&quot; would not work on me now. If I was ever single again, I think &quot;Would you like to come see my yacht&quot; would be the key words to use.

Then again, anyone who calls me &quot;Miss&quot; instead of &quot;M'am&quot; gets points with me.

😉
 
lines are un-needed when you're a magnet 😉 But anyways, lines are funny to pass between &quot;the guys&quot;, but not a way to try to hook up with a lady. I notice that when you just be yourself, it usually works. Maybe for you too 🙂
 
3 reasons:

a) Ignorance...most of the people that use those lines are typically jocks between the ages of 16 and 24
b) Success...some people are (or think they are) hot enough that a simple, pathetic line like that will work. Note: typically only works on stupid women
c) Lack of any other lines...see ignorance, above.
 
Cant answer you.

I am so quiet and shy, I always wait for the woman to talk to me first.

Kassy - Still havent seen a picture.
 
Never used a line like that, GF, and I've never honked or anything at a chick walking down the street. That's just nasty. But I agree with Bober and some of the other fellas here, a smile, &quot;Hello,&quot; maybe &quot;I'm Chad, nice to meet you&quot; works just dandy for me.
 
I'm sorry, have you even watched women? That is exactly the kind of guy they go for. Course they fall for the trap he lays by not acting that way when he is actually trying to get them in bed, then they are all mad when he reverts back to normal form....... Then the big question is why they don't get any respect......well duh

/me again running like mad while ducking thrown objects......
 
When I was a lowly teenager I once used the line &quot;Wanna Fsck?&quot;

It worked but I have long since matured past that point since about a week later I met my first real girlfriend and realised how stupid and incredibly lucky I was with that line.




<< If I was ever single again, I think &quot;Would you like to come see my yacht&quot; would be the key words to use. >>



/calls Guido the hitman

Hey Isla wanna come see my yacht?😉🙂
 
Only ignorant young men think those lines work

Ok Russ, I have to disagree with you here. Not the ignorant but the young part. I have had lines used on me from guys aged 20 - 65. Wisdom does not always come with age. 😉 But then again, I live in hicksville, so I may just be seeing the bottom of the barrel.

ratkil: We need to have a little talk I see.... 😛

And just to clarify, I did not mean to say all men use these lines, I have met plenty of nice ones. I am just wondering about the ones that do, why?
 
GF,

&quot;Young&quot; is not always a function of chronology. Perhaps a better term would be &quot;maturity challenged&quot;.

Russ, NCNE
 
I have been working on a few new ones - let's see what the ladies think:

&quot;Is that a ladder in your skirt or the stairway to heaven?&quot;

&quot;You have beautiful legs - what time do they open?&quot;

&quot;My name is Tony, but you can call me Mr. Right.&quot;

Editor's Note: yes, this is a joke!
 
You've got it all wrong girl friday! It's:

&quot;Hey - can you tell me if my tonge tastes funny?&quot;

=)

I don't use lines, I'd rather connect with a girl/woman, and get to know her

not pick up on her, I've been turned down enough in normal situations
🙁
