Best lines to use to impress women at races.

How about this? - "Let's get something straight between us."

Ok, I would never use that, but it is one.

That's funny

Or, how about... "If I told you that your body was incredibly hot, would you hold it against me?"

Hedge,

I think you and I have headed down the road to really bad pickup lines.

On that list would also be - "That dress looks great on you. It would look even better on my bedroom floor."

Oh man that is bad.

You're right... But it all just goes downhill from "reach into my pocket to find your big banana!"

Just kidding phatoldguy (that's phat with a ph, we'll keep it on the lowdown... tight).

Really, seriously, honestly, Oldguy... I think some stranger at a race refering to his anatomy at all especially as a "banana" (or a "pole") would be plenty enough to make me very uncomfortable and send be warming up/cooling down in the OPPOSITE direction.

I'd be truly surprised if your wife hung around to talk to you after hearing something like that... considering you were a complete stranger to her and she'd have no way to know you not to be anything but a perv... am I wrong here?

I'm sure... uh maybe... that you're a nice guy in reality despite your apparent lack of good SKILL ;)

Colleen,

I think you're confusing me with "fatoldguy." (I wish I had never selected "oldguy" as my nom-de-plume. I wonder if it's too late to switch to "studmuffin.") Anyone who knows me -- including "fatoldguy," who happens to run the running store that's located a few blocks from my house -- realizes that I'm not capable of using such pick-up lines. (In fact, I may not be capable of using ANY pick-up lines, other than sevatonic's "Hi.")

Worst pickup line I've heard at a race...

"Wanna see mah fish tank? It's in my room ... at my place."

oh yes, sorry about that, Oldguy. Who would have thought there'd be multiple letsrun posters wanting post as "oldguy" of some variety.

I can give you some hints on a name change. I train dogs part time for some cash, and training people on a message board is much the same I think. You can attach your prefered name to your old name... post a whaile as "Oldguy_aka_StudMuffin" and after a while even the dimmest of wits...possibly even Mcenroe... will be able to make this leap in associantion...

I can also provide you with a plethra of other tips including, how to teach your dog to stop lifting his leg on odd places in the house and how to make him or her actually start to dislike the idea of nawing through you're houses drywall...

ooops I have I gotten a little off topic.. sorry

ugh.. reading my post.. I need to learn to PROOFREAD or type a hecka of a lot slower. "whaile"=while..."assosciantion"=association

goodness... I get a "D" for neatness...

Sometimes the strategy of starting out in a none-pursuit fashion can backfire. You can fall into the "friend zone." The girl doesn't want to "ruin your friendship" or "dating you would be like dating my brother." Doesn't happen all the time, but is definitely a valid concern.

I think just going for it is often the best route. If they say no then, odds are they would have said no later on if you waited. Perhaps just being upfront over what is going on. Acknowledging that you don't know her, but that she seems nice and you want to know if she wants to grab a drink sometime.

Of course, it's not like I have any sort of great game, so a lot of what I say might be just BS anyways. But, in theory I think it makes sense.

Wait up ladies I have another salami to hide still.

plethra? Is that what you good ol' boys got when you got a case a beer? GO HOGS!

In my opinion, there's nothing more disturbing than reading a thread dominated by 40 + year olds discussing how they pick up women.

Backfire? Only with poor execution, Morceli. I'm not saying become such good friends they know all about you - just a little about you (and more about them, capiche?). Also, impeccable timing helps. But alas, sometimes it would not matter either way (that is, for some people, I guess). Afterall, there is nothing like an old married dude dispensing great advice straight out of the renaissance era.

Lastly, in my mind, all of this is taking place at track meets. So, I am not sure about anyone else, but I am keeping on topic.

I thought plethra had something to do with the urethra. I don't get that excited about that kind of medical talk, so I declined to mention it before.

You must not read a lot of the threads on this site.

I think she was trying to say "plethora"( a lot of) As in there is a plethora of idiots and fools on this board. Myself included. Judging by some of the typos in Kaleigh's posts she may be a blonde. You could almost tell in that picture... the angle was a little bad to be sure though.

So what the heck now.

She's a block here. At least kaliegh's better than yo mama and I can guaran-DAMN-tee you that. Where's yo mama here?

Aha!

What? I don't get it. I don't get any. I don't have any. But, I can spell, decide on one name instead of 3 and know when to say when. When.

2001 XC Nationals-Portland, OR-Kells Bar. I had consumed much Hamm's and a few swigs of Ouzo. The woman of my dreams was at the bar, but I was so drunk, I couldn't talk in complete sentences. I tried to tell her, "I wish I wasn't so drunk because I really want to ask you out."

I waited for her outside the bathroom later that night and asked her for her phone number. She said, "I don't have a pen."

I said, "That's okay, I can put it in MY WATCH!"

We were married in December. Thank you Timex. Yes, it's pathetic, but it worked.
