Chatting up girls in bars

[taks]

Where's the *hehe you cad* smiley?

if i had changed the quote to "doing thing to me" you'd have a great case for that smiley.

 

sorry, i'm bad today. had a beer lunch. a pint of guiness and a pint of 90 schilling at hooter's.

 

taks

[LadyCrimson]

I wish we had a hooters here. I have a feeling I'd be very amused.

[Shryke]

i've always found just saying whatever pops into my head seems to work okay

 

I hate you.

 

no seriously though - it's not really something i think about at all

 

if i see someone that looks interesting, my curiosity gets the better of me and i usually end up going over and talking to them. it's usually the shy ones that catch my attention. it's awesome if you manage to get them to come out of their shell a bit and actually have a good time

[Bokishi]

Just roll down your car window and flash a wad of cash.

 

Dude, I hope your not serious. paying for attention from a woman is just being insulting to yourself

[taks]

that's sort of how it works with pros, correct?

 

taks

[Bokishi]

Yeah but who wants a pros, they're filthy

[Tigranes]

The Shryke breed is interesting, I know a couple and it turns out that they really have no idea if what they're saying is right, or why they're popular with the ladies. Like the rest of mankind. Except whatever pops into their head works, I guess.

i'm a particular breed now am i?

[Bokishi]

your the man's man shryke!

[mkreku]

I could definitely have used some of Shryke's skills tonight. I ended up guiding two of my female frienda home instead of hitting on any ghirls. I'm OK with it, but still.. If I had done better earlier, I wouldn't have been there for my girly friends and at home bumpiung ugly.

[Bokishi]

It's all about the vibes you give off, if you vibe off that she scares the crap out of you, then she'll feel that and not respond well. If you vibe off that you're confident and fun and sexy, then she'll feel that and there you go.

[Walsingham]

This is all very interesting, gentlemen, but hardly to the point.

 

Firstly, we should throw together the basic elements of the GREATEST CONVERSATION IN THE WORLD

 

Secondly we will attempt to put together a rough script for the conversation to take. I can then train my adjutant to field his part of said conversation.

 

I think the greatest conversation should involve:

 

pipes

stormtroopers

diamonds

 

I suggest for a good wide ranging GREATEST CONVERSATION IN THE WORLD we need about twenty things.

[Darth InSidious]

Sit in the corner and recite The Fire Sermon at her. Guaranteed to win her over.

This stuff should to be published in a semi universal (male version) "Forumites Guide to The Galaxy" >_

[Trenitay]

I think the conversataion needs to include crates, dogs and dinosaurs.

Right, that's all going on the list.

 

Pipes

Stormtroopers

Diamonds

Crates

Dogs

Dinosaurs

 

 

Can anyone suggest how to start the conversation, ideally using all these elements?

"Sex is big. Really big. I mean, you just won't believe how vastly, mind-bogglingly big it is. You may think the Beatles are popular, but that's just peanuts to sex. Listen..."

in bar conversations, is not what you say, but how you say it. no doubt there is folks who met their future wife or husband at a bar, but Gromnir ain't personally met somebody with such a story.

 

if you look the part, and sound confident, chances are it not matter what is elements o' the conversation. Gromnir's most recent successful pick-up line: "You are tall."

 

...

 

brilliant, eh? Gromnir is in good physical shape, we got prominent law school class ring, and we dress well (when the situation demands). am not gonna even try to suggest that our brilliant conversational skills won the young lady over during an hour o' useless bar chit-chat. we look and act the part, and if the lady is likewise looking for companionship things turn out well with some frequency. actual elements o' conversation is hardly worth mentioning.

 

keep in mind that some women in bars is not there to be won. some women genuine go to bars to socialize with friends, or 'cause they simply not wanna be alone on a Friday/Saturday night. Gromnir not waste efforts on such as the likelihood o' favorable resolution is remote. a bar is a terrible place to begin a relationship, so why try? if you ain't getting right signals after 10 minutes, move on to next option.

 

cliff notes version... go to the bar with realistic expectations and straightforward goals. choose targets well, and be willing to move onto next option without remorse and with little hesitation. adopt semblance of confidence and success. be well-mannered and avoid nervous laughter... and some o' you needs to become more attractive.

 

*shrug*

 

is no tricks or perfect conversation... is all 'bout target selection and image.

 

btw, Gromnir typically loathes the bar scene, but...

 

HA! Good Fun!

[Walsingham]

I accept Gromnir's point about women going to bars to socialise not necessarily to get picked up. It is in fact precisely because of this that the Greatest Conversation Ever (Wooing) ["GCE(W)"] is required.

 

My own local group has been conducting field trials this weekend, but I'm too tired to type up our notes right now. It is, however, extremely exciting, and I think we have made definite progress.

[Gorgon]

I remember a movie called a perfect mind where Russel Crowe demonstrated a mathematical theory of mutual attraction by picking up a girl in a bar. Of course he was playing a delusional character, in a movie,

and the details escape me.

[l'Incendiario]

^^ It was A Beautiful Mind, based on the life of a true person (John Forbes Nash).

 

As for the topic, what Walsh needs to remember is to be a blue rabbit for the local red rabbits (or vice versa). *MYSTERY* is sexy.

[Maria Caliban]

A very attractive woman I have seen around here and there, although I don't even know her last name, works in a green grocer, and I have been buying disproportionately large amounts of lettuce.

 

Lettuce?

 

If I were going to impress a girl, I wouldn't buy lettuce. Butternut squash, avocados, English cucumbers, those bags of mini-oranges, grapes, and bottles of pineapple juice would all be more interesting than lettuce.

 

Yeah but who wants a pros, they're filthy

 

Hey, I have a friend who's an escort. She is not 'filthy.'

Will try to type up notes by cop today.

am agreeing that lettuce is not the best veggie to impress women-- go with shallots or the fancy mushrooms (e.g. ****ake, portabello, etc.). most every woman knows what a shallot is, but we suspect that few has ever actually prepared a dish calling for shallots. personally, Gromnir ain't a mushroom fan, but some folks love fungi and stuff likes ****ake seems to grant instant legitimacy to a dish. is more obscure veggies out there, but am finding that shallots and mushrooms has more than adequate kewl value.

 

if you must use lettuce, avoid iceberg. the oak leaf variety o' loose leaf is an ok choice... am rarely using romaine save for caesar salads.

 

now, as for fruit...

 

btw, a man with goodly cooking skills can be a handicap rather than a boon. most women is insecure, and if you cooks marked better than she does...

 

HA! Good Fun!
