This live community/class journal allows everyone a place to post examples and comments on interpersonal communication behaviors that we will be covering. I will post weekly topics for you to comment on. You are required to post at least once a week, but feel free to post as often as you like! The more examples you can come up with the better.

LMAO. pick up lines eh? To tell you the truth I think the last time I used a pick up line was when I was still asking girls if they liked me in notes ha ha ha. (Check yes or no...) ha ha. I will admit, there is kind of a formula to attracting the opposite sex if you really wanted to. I guess what has worked for me in all of my college encounters, ( since its not highschool where popularity trumps all ;) ) either helping someone study, acting like youre not interested (people in general want what they can't have), or... now this is tricky, BE YOURSELF. The problem with that is, it only works if you're someone to anyone. ha ha. (Social Proof) It's like highschool. No one see's the biggest loser in school getting all the girls... If other people like you and admire you, the feeling will pass on to the people they are with giving you the social proof you need to conquer the opposite sex. :)
ReplyDeleteExperience though...
Easiest thing to do for me is invest in my education. Girls like an intelligent mate... Makes them feel secure. (And girls like feeling secure) This raises social value and shows them that you are going somewhere in your life and you can get there with or without them. :) (they would rather be with you, Believe me)
You can literally keep to yourself until the first test before any girls in your class know you exhist. But you share with the people you have become friends with your grades because you know everyone will ask. Now those people think you're smart because you have done well. (You have a group to social proof you) When the second test (or hopefully quiz) pops up, you do well again, and the group you have rangled together is interested to see what you have gotten. This sparks interest into the people you haven't met yet. (EX: your target girl)
Now this is where you need to be bold. After class, walk up to her and ask how she did.
1. (If she did good) talk about how a few questions "fooled you" but overall it wasn't easy and how you're no "Genius" like her ;)
Now you're in because you're a normal (not overly cocky) dude who just gave her a compliment. (Girls love those)
2. (if she did bad) Say you didn't do too bad and that you would be willing to help her if she wanted. (offering to start a study group helps but only if you mention it to her. you want her, not the rest of the class lol. the study group suggestion makes it seem like you're not a try hard. lol. showing you're "more interested in her doing well" ha ha)
Both of those things will make her feel comfortable with having you around again. Once you follow up on those two things, its up to you to change the conversation or do something that will shift from friends to something more. If you take too long, you might as well switch to another girl because it takes a LONG time to get out of the friend zone once you put yourself there.
All from a well maintained background.
Don't worry though ladies, I'm in a great relationship :)
ps: I've seen pickups work. ONLY in fun atmosphers (clubs ect.) where girls are expecting things like that and are forgiving to how lame you are ;)
I have always had a knack for this kind of stuff while out hunting and being hunted. Usually it would take me only a few minutes to score.
ReplyDeleteI rememember one time while walking down a busy downtown city street in Austin. That I heard someone across the street yell out the name Peter while waving anxiously and looking straight at me.
Needless to say, I looked around and after seeing that there was no one behind me I waved back. Well less that an hour later I was riding on the Ponderosa. Afterwards I asked if she knew my name wasn't Peter. To which she replied, "yes I know!"
This was only one of many superfast pickups in my lifetime.In my younger days I made Romeo,Valentino and Casanova,look to be as slow as molassses, because back then I was a regular Fred Sanford! Or it could have been that 99 cents genuine imitation aftershave I used wear.
Then one time while I was driving to Dallas I picked up two beutiful stripper hotties who were hitchhiking. Well it turns out that they were lavishing all kinds of attention on me. We were smoking, and I was driving my old beatup maroon Oldsmobile with a black fender and a gold door. I kind of looked like Cheech Marin back then.
Well the girls were having such a good time, that they both decided to change tops right there on the spot. Well to make a long story short.
Two wealthy yuppie type guys in a brand new Camaro were passing by, and you should have seen their jaws drop, and the look of disbelief and anguish upon their faces,Priceless!
Unfortunately,The rest of the story is censored!
Great strategy Robert, never heard it so well thought out:) As for Frank....... you never cease to amaze me with your "frankness". LOL
ReplyDeleteI've never used a pickup line or seen one used outside of television and maybe a book I read once. I'd require some bribing to behave in that manner, maybe a pricey bet. Even if I were to, I'd just run "pickup lines" through Google and pick whatever met my fancy, as to avoid misusing my own precious creativity on such ends.
ReplyDeleteI've never used a pick-up line. if i want to pursue something with someone i just strike up a conversation about a mutual interest. it usually just takes off from there. i can't remember any pick-up lines that people have attempted on me...
ReplyDeleteI can't remember any pick-up lines people have used on me, but last semester this guy I had for class complemented my hair, which led to an hour long conversation, and then to a weird friendship (a friendship in my mind, but he had a different agenda). Things ended really badly (he forced himself on me, I freaked).
ReplyDeleteI haven't used any pick-up lines and I usually don't approach people, but if I want their attention, I just ask a question.
well I only know stupid pickup lines. They never worked for me I found if I was myself it worked better but one that sticks in my head is ( hey baby do you believe in love at first sight or do you want me to walk by one more time) kind of stupid but like I said i have forgot a lot of them but why would I remember they are stupid!!!
ReplyDeleteokay so in my opinion pick up lines are cheesy and overated.. i prefer people who just act themselves and are not afraid to strike up a conversation with you. Being a smooth talker and on top of that being cute always help :) heres a list of some cheesy pick up lines ive heard ( not necessarily used on me)
ReplyDeletedid it hurt??? when you fell from heaven..(huh???)
if i had made the alphabet i would put "u" and "i" together. (over used)
are you from tenessee ??? cus.. your the only ten i see!!! (lol..lame)
are those space pants ??? cus your ass is out of this world (lmao!!!)
do you owe any library books>??? cus you got "fine" written all over!!! (ha amusing..)
hahahha ok im on a roll.. those were just some of the many cheesy pick up lines ..they never work im telling ya ;)
Girls are social creatures and can smell desperation and nervousness from across the bar. it isn't so much what you say but how you say it and the energy you have. Ps I have been emotionally scarred yet again by frank, without question I'm going to have to sleep with the lights on
ReplyDeleteI can honestly say I never used a pick-up line in my life. I am not a “first move” type of guy, and at the rick of sounding vain, I never really needed too. I have been told that I am a natural flirt, though I could never understand why. I never go out with the intention to hook-up, but instead to have a good time and laugh with friends. I guess my niceness and extroverted nature is misinterpreted as flirting. Man, I can be so oblivious sometimes. So I assume that means that my ‘not looking’ is my way to pick up someone.
ReplyDeletewhen i was about 15 this guy wanted to kinda make an impression and he walked up to me and said " I can do blush" as in put on makeup blush.... yeah... real swave... we laughed and I was with him for about 2 years. so he made an impression to think back on it its soooo funny.
ReplyDeleteUnder Ten Minute Scores!
ReplyDeleteThe striptease: Okay, okay, I decided to come back for an anchor. One upon a time I went visiting someone with this friend of mine. Well, my friend went into the back bedroom with this dude to take care of business. The dudes old lady came out to the living room and proceeded to very slowly strip to the buff right in front of me.
The Hamburger: Another time I went to get a hamburger at a drive through with someone I had just met and ended up stroking more than just my burger, in broad daylight. We ended up deep in the woods that afternoon and the affair also went long into the night.
The Apartment:
Once I went to visit a friend, well I knocked and knocked but he never came to the door. But his neighbor did. She asked me for a light and gently put her hands around mine, while she lit the cig. Which was funny because there was no breeze at all! She was very beautiful and was wearing real tight shorts. "So the rest of the tail" (pun intended) I will leave to your imagination!
Bonus: The Cowboys had just lost the Super bowl against the Steelers and I was feeling kind of down and sad even though I had just won $300 on a personal bet. A new neighbor saw me sad and then said to me,” poor baby.” After she saw me so sad, she then proceeded to help me fog up all the windows of my car!!!
The stories you have read are true. The names have been changed to protect the guilty!LOl!
I have noticed that when I go out in public with my 5 month old daughter, she is so cute that women just come up out of now where to look in the stroller, and then they start talking and if I'm not with Danielle they often start flirting. Every time I tell her these stories she gets so pissed.
