Best lines to use to impress women at races.

Great. I come here looking for some sage advice, and all I get is a "banana" line.

Must have been a lonely desperate woman to fall for that line. Or maybe it was the presentation.

My best line in every races is ,"Hie."

Once everytime they look at me, they know they're looking at a real fast national tiger hunk.

call me bort,

karangasem.

But then you start talking some mo' and the girl runs away.

fatoldguy, lol if your wife really fell for that it doesn't bode too well for her.

Guys one hint... If you're at a road race tempoing or whatever, don't feel it's a good idea to talk to women during the race. We really don't want to be told we have nice legs or anything in the last 800 of a 5k... that's just annoying.

She said I had a sense of humor. And besides at least I was not too afraid to even talk to her. Most runner boys these days have a hard enough time talking to their sisters. Especsially after the sis developes breasts. The most frequently heard line now is 'Aaa'. Because the boys are scared if a girl talks to them.

yes... very scared! Please more bannana jokes to get the classy girls! Too scared!

A good line I heard was by Bill Mangan at a road race in New Zealand. He was talking to this cute little Maori(sp?) girl about a fishing trip that was planned for the runners. He said to her, "The only pole I brought was the pole in my pants."

Not incredibly clever but it did get a great response from the girl. I was impressed.

Seriously man, have you ever talked to a real woman before without giving her your credit card number?

hey Johnny, no need for criticizm, karangasem is a very good looking guy...He's also ENGAGED... nuff said.

I have great speed, you have great endurance, what say we make some milers?

The girl's easy. A line like that is a big WINNER!

YOU MET YOUR WIFE AT THE JOGGEREGGNOGGER?

AWESOME

When I talk dirty to a chick and she ends up calling me a slimeball, I usually reply with "Slimeball? Ahh thats cute. Your mother teach you that?"

then like bees to honey chicks all come swarming to me. Ladies love a man with confidence.

Fatoldguy respect level before this tread 10! on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the highest. Respect level after reading this tread......trying hard to make it to -3.

The Roc

Very funny thread as most women are just drooling over the prospect of hooking up a skinny neurotic who can only talk about his awesome 5K PR. "Uh, you still gonna' be here in 30 minutes? Like, I gotta' run my cool down so I'm not tight for my track workout on Tuesday.

During the next half hour, she meets a humble guy that only runs about 19 minutes but makes pretty good coin at his job, drives a nice set if wheels, and invites her to brunch later that morning.

When our hero arrives back from his cool down and Miss Right is nowhere to be seen, he tells his equally geeky buddies, "Dudes, I was just shining that be-yotch on. Like, she wasn't that hot to begin with. Let's go back to my place for Powerbars and Gatorade and watch my tape of the 1997 Millrose Games and play "Vice City" all afternoon."

Here's my advice (so you might want to just skip this and go to the next post). Like your running, have a plan. First, identify your list of potential candidates. Second, get to know them a little in a none-pursuit fashion - just friend-like (Oh my goodness, this could take a few weeks couldn't it (gasp)). Then, after getting to know them well enough, how 'bout throwing out a cheesy comment that speaks to her exquisite inner traits while also showing appreciation for (but not total focus on) her looks (authenticity/believableness is preferable). Opening yourself first to some vulnerability is a actually a strong/secure thing to do, and although it may not work every time, it works much more often than you might think (yes, even for you) and more effectively than most of the normal approaches.

Works best if you can somehow make it look as if you actually believe what you're saying. Just my .02, but I know I could never approach Catman status on how to "pick up chicks".

Ideally, you should do all of this sincerely with noble intentions, but we all know I'd just be kidding myself to consider a lot of you being able to do all that (smile).

JEH,

Just a hunch, but it sounds as though we should put you in the camp that would be hesitant about approaching a stranger and uttering a line about your "banana" or your "pole."

Well, it seemed to work for Fatoldguy, but although I do not have any anecdotal evidence, I tend to be of the thought that the likelihood of that being effective is very slight. I guess you could say it does make you vulnerable (although more towards getting ridiculed or ostricized - at least in my circles)... but maybe fatoldguy was able to parlay these meager beginnings as a platform to better conversations doen the road? And somehow, he was able to "win" his wife over despite his "banana".

In short, yes, you could put me in the hesitant camp. I just have a feeling that such comments most likely do not achieve the results I want. Then again, I guess one has to take the audience (the girl) in consideration. Perhaps if they're inebriated enough... nah... probably not.
