P.S. sorry steve, i just read that "meet marketsurfer for lunch" thread or whatever it was, funny stuff man...
We live in some pretty weird times...
I don't know man, if you got to BS your way to get laid, that kind of is desperation IMO. You are walking a fine line there - one misstep and you're done. Like someone already said, its much easier to just tell the truth.
Agree with the laughter comments. That and wit are probably the most effective ways to get what you want.
Okay, I've got a good follow up. I went out the other night and decided to play a game. I wanted to see how many working numbers I could get in one evening, by claiming to be a sanitation worker and also a janitor. The rules were: a) I had to dress down to nearly casual wear, as opposed to my normal wardrobe for going out, and I couldn't use after-shave or cologne; b) I was unshaven (5 o'clock shadow), with an untucked shirt, no belt, white socks, and no jewelry of any kind c) go to the same clubs and bars I normally would go to; d) try to pick up the same caliber of women (only 8's or better) I would normally try to pick up.
So, it went like this... I originally intended to only try to pick up women with the "I'm a sanitation worker (trash man)..." lines, but after seven good-looking girls I only had one working telephone number. So, I switched to the "I'm a janitor..." line. I finished with five working numbers after approaching thirteen women. The goal was fourteen women, but unfortunately I ran into someone I knew. So, I was one-for-seven as a trash man, yet four-of-six as a janitor. What does that tell us? Hot women don't mind dating hot janitors. However, hot trash guys are almost out of the question. Note: there is merit that should be given to the fact that I had become more comfortable after approaching the first four or five women, and I had also worked up a pretty good buzz by the time I switched into janitor mode. I was good and drunk by probably number ten. I'm a pretty funny guy when I'm drunk (not very modest though) and at first I was trying to be more slick than funny. Maybe there is no difference, but in my opinion, hot guys that throw trash for a living are much less desirable to women than a janitor. Then again, four-of-six are pretty fair odds for a well dressed Securities Trader. However, I would say that the odds for a hot guy in military uniform are far superior though... it's like 19-for-20 or better...
Note: for those of you who remember my vacation thread, the answer is yes I was seeing someone and it was getting serious, however, shit got even more complicated than it already was...
