Chat up lines/topics of conversation for pulling

Oh, come on. You weren't really expecting any original material, were you? Not after his unimaginative attempt at 'chat-up' lines...

To those talking about The Game (no, not The Game, but the MTV show) - the stuff which actually got explained on that show was literally the tip of the iceberg in terms of what they taught the contestants (and what is taught to 'students' of this 'art'). As a result, it makes our man Frank (above) think that one corny, over-used chat-up line is going to instantly moisten every gusset in a 30yd radius.
Naivety is only charming for a relatively short amount of time...

"Hi" is a really dull way to start a conversation. You might as well say "Hi, I'm boring.".

The point of saying them is BECAUSE they're unimaginative. How many times do you think a bloke actually uses a chat up line?

I would hazard a guess that most girls have never had a chat up line said to them by a bloke they've never met.. They've probably only heard them as jokes.

It's just a bit of fun. No need to take it seriously.

At the end of the day, I told a corny chat up line to a girl smoking alone and half an hour later we were still talking.
I don't think she intended to stay there for 30 minutes, do you?

Also, I was punching a few grade above my weight if I'm honest.

You complain about online dating, you complain about face to face confidence and interaction.

So what is the magic Dave200 way of picking up women? Chloroform and a van waiting around the corner?

Yep, the key bit of your previous post was here:

and segued into a real conversation from there.

Someone on MSN said something like "see The Game is over-rated". Missed the point entirely. It's what you say and how you say it that counts here and determines whether you're going to get in her knickers or end up swapping friendship bracelets and being described as "sweet".

You're missing the point. By miles.

There's no 'magic' whatsoever - and if there was, it certainly wouldn't sound like an excerpt from Nuts/Zoo/FHM.

Women respond well to guys who can combine a lot of quite contradictory characteristics into a single package - frankly, what you actually say to them is of little consequence, so I would be less inclined to worry so much about that. Breaking the ice need not require a 'hilarious' one-liner to be effective - that's only really addressing one of the previously-referred characteristics, and you can do a far more effective job by simply not trying so hard to be 'funny'.

Well, that's fantastic for you. I'm sure there are many envious souls looking on in utter amazement at your work. I mean, you managed to keep a girl talking for half an hour with some of your best material. That's quite some achievement, you know.

Have a virtual pat on the back.

Reading between the lines, I suspect we've read similar material, Dave200.

I doubt that very much.
My good friend who teaches the art of 'pick up' has tried to force several books on the subject down my throat (namely 'The Game', and something about 'Seduction Arts'), as he thinks I could serve to learn "a thing or two". I didn't get much beyond the first 10-15% of either, as they were incredibly patronising and broadly irrelevant to most situations.

My approach to understanding comes from a wider view of people's sociological/psychological attributes, rather than self-help guides.

Why would he think that if he's your friend?
Hell, I'm an anonymous forum member and even I know you're Casanova part deux.

I'm intrigued. In what way exactly, and which bits?

One of the things which I found most off-putting in what little I read from these books was their persistent use of w*nky terminology... You're unlikely to ever see me refer to a "Neg" or similar, as it's a load of old codswallop.

They're useful for introducing the psychological ideas of why being a certain way works with women, putting them into layman's terms for people who the ideas are a surprise to. wky if you got the grounding already, useful if you don't.

Agree they're not bibles but they do have good use for beginners

Well, the conversation reference and your reference to psychology. Whether your technique is developed through experience or academic research, the way you phrase things ties in with the material I've encountered.

Nothing wrong with those terms. They are just names for techniques. Just like you call a steering wheel a steering wheel rather than "that wheel connected to the front wheels to change direction" every time you want to say "steering wheel".

A mate told me a very good one that she had done to her in America a few months ago...

A bloke walked up to her and said "are you a vet by any chance?"

She said "no, why?"

He then proceeded to make a swan shape with his arm whilst flexing his muscle (do it and it will make sense) and said "because this swan, is sick"


For the oldies amongst us, sick=amazing

Frankeh said:

I had great success with the following on saturday night:

(Go up to a group of girls in an urgent manner)
"Is anyone here a vet!?"
"No, why?"
(Flex biceps and make hands into beak shapes)
"BECAUSE THESE SWANS ARE SIIICK!"

This only worked for me because I have no real muscle mass. If you actually have muscles don't even try it.

Also I tried the "Boyfriend material" one posted above to much success.

For the love of god don't take them seriously though. Use them as an ice breaker.

I'm pretty sure you can use any stupid chat up line to break the ice.

You want a medal?

Anyone ever had a women use a chat up line on them before? Cant say I have ever heard of a women using a 'line'

Sort of. Once met a girl in All Bar One, had a couple of drinks and got chatting. Was going well I thought, so suggested going on somewhere for a bite to eat.

Her reply was "I'd rather you take me home I want to find out if we are sexually compatible".

Being a gentleman I couldn't refuse such a request.

Well, it's effective. But only if the van's already warmed up and ready to roll. Check the plastic sheeting's secure, too.

HTH.
