.............leave ima1trkpny alone. You know that you are a blimp just like me, so there is no need to put a Batman suit on and be somebody you are not. Or are you?

| A blimp? Are you saying I have my head in the clouds? Maybe for pun's sake I should say: "I'm adorable, not a dirigible". But I don't think I can rightfully make that claim; and really, it's not something one should claim about oneself in the first place.

| Wouldn't "the riddler" be more appropriate to this forum than batman I'm not sure I'd look good in green spandex, though. Come to think of it, batman's suit isn't much better. First underwear, then trousers. How so many superheroes can mess that up is beyond me.

Hehe... thank you for defending me but I don't mind his comments. Towr has a good sense of humor and his bad (but funny) puns make me laugh (something I desperately need in a crazy life like mine). And at least he didn't compare me to an ancient extinct creature http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homo_erectus

I thought the obvious one for Victoria was to ask her if she were amused... If I thought anyone would get the reference, I might try coming up with something more classically-based - like "Do you like wearing Nike's shoes?" but I'm not sure I relish having to explain that Nike was the Greek goddess of victory, and Victoria was her Roman counterpart who took over her role as part of the wholesale theft of Greek mythology by the Romans - who filed off the serial numbers, changed the names of the deities and claimed it all for themselves...

actually rmsgrey, she is pretty smart... she likes greek mythology and she's an athelete (a pretty good on too) she may not know what you were talking about if you just said the nike line... but after explaining it she might find you very interesting.

LOL... towr where on earth did you find that i know its hard... that is why i would recommend not trying to be too clever cause you might get a reaction you don't like. walking up and introducing yourself is just fine.

And considering it, it might not actually be that bad to try and be clever. From the reaction you can quickly gauge if you're at all compatible. For instance, if I where to ask a girl "Miss, could you tell me the meaning of life, the universe and everything?" Then the response "42", as opposed to "Huh?!?", would be a clear marker we have at least something in common. (Well, ok, maybe it's not that clever. But it could be much worse, certainly)

| Yeah, either fate, or I read so many webcomics that the likelyhood something comes up which is relevant to an online discussion has hit probable limits. Quote:no offense... but seriously... how many hours do you spend online everyday? |
| It's a bit hard to say, really. Every computer I work on has a permanent internet connection. I suppose on a normal weekday anything from 3 to 8 hours. (Depending among other things on what you count)

LOL... i see your point, but i meant don't try to be clever when you really aren't... something far too many people try to do, it is just another form of pretending to be something you aren't and it becomes very obvious to your audience. as for the universe question i wouldn't exactly consider that a pickup line but who knows... you might also want to consider that a lot of very smart women would be very startled by you just coming up to them and asking them that question and so you are kind setting them up for their brains to fall out their mouths. i remember once i worked in a fast food restaurant for awhile and this guy just out of the blue offered to give me his number... and i seriously stared at him like he was crazy... (i honestly didn't get it!) and then i was like "uh...." and my manager and everyone else in the store had realized what he meant and started laughing their butts off.... i wanted to die

When you "ask a woman out on a date", you're basically saying, "Hi, I'm interested in you in a romantic way, and I'd like to buy you some food so you'll think of me as a wonderful provider, and then maybe we can go out on some more dates that I'll pay for and then get into a relationship... if I'm lucky and you'll accept me". Duh. Instead of asking a woman out to lunch tell her, "Hey, I'm going to get a cup of tea. Come along and entertain me. And I don't mean with that usual boring stuff that you talk about."

If someone said that to me I would reply "Go entertain yourself asshole," and then ignore you. There is a big diffence between not being a suck up and being entirely rude and your last comment probably won't get you to far with anyone worthwhile. Not that all women are just like me but a fair number of women I know are fine paying for their own things or taking turns with you to pick up the bill. Puzzlecracker, do you currently have a girlfriend? cause if not this is probably why. Blunt and discourteous are two different things and while the former is good the latter is unforgiveable considering you live in a world full of people and without curteousy you will cause many problems for yourself and not only with women.
