How to approach strangers in a bar

Nah, none of them look as if there in college or have been in college.

 

Just wanted to record this for posterity.

 

Anyone think this freq guy might be full of it?

 

And you already burned me today for leaving myself open for a blow-job joke. Isn't my day!

 

Allow me to re-quote the quote.

Because this sort of thing doesn't happen 'round here.

 

But did the backdoor need oiling, and was it a good door?

 

It's always the good door; you know that!

 

I don't know. If he is, he waits a LONG TIME before doing his schtick. One post when the Parkers split, then this thread. That's it.

 

If that is true, you are an exception.

 

I mean, I'm not going to date Bobcat Goldthwait, even if he was funny. But I've never gone for pretty boys.

 

I wish I had saved the article now, but some magazine (Time?) had some studies about how heterosexual women value looks in men.

Basically, while guys subconsciously put women on a continuum (she's a 6, she's an 8, she's a 5, etc.), with women, they see men in two basic groups. Good-looking and not, and the good-looking category is pretty small, just the top 5% or so of men. They don't have a problem dating the "nots" if they have other desirable attributes, but for a bar-pickup situation? Basically 5% of the guys are getting 90% of the trim.

 

Sounds like the dialog from "She's Out of My League."
I'm a 6, but I'm in a band, so that makes me a 7. You can go 2 higher you, so I can go for a 9, but not a 10.
You're a solid 6, but you lose a point for having a crappy car.
