Case in point - I recently met a really cute guy at a bar. But he was wearing a hideous shirt. I'm not so shallow that the shirt would turn me off from him, but I did see it as a conversation starter. Unbeknownst to me, I was about to discover the holy grail of pick up lines.
The conversation started as a compliment: "You're way too hot....."
And ended with a slap in the face: "..... to be wearing a shirt that ugly. Seriously. Its atrocious."
And then I walked away.
The guy was so confused. Yet intrigued.... because he followed me halfway around the club to finish that conversation.
Hmm. Interesting. Must test this theory more.
Test subject #2. Different night, different bar. This time it was his name that was the subject of ridicule (cruel, I know, but I was trying to prove a theory, so really it was all done in the name of science). He was a hot Italian, with a name that was not hot, and so not Italian. It was a travesty.
"You're way too hot to have a name that ugly." Ouch. Not only did I insult the guy, I also insulted his parents. The outcome? He asked for my number.
What...????? Does this sh*t actually work!???!! I've heard the cliche, 'slap them and they'll never leave you', but I didn't know it was actually true!
Men may not literally be from Mars, and women may not literally be from Venus. But our communication styles certainly are =p
