Pathetic attempts at pick ups

[tollbaby]

All claims and no action - that's just normal flirting as far as I'm concerned.

/me hits on Raps

I've been told on numerous occasions (while working as a secretary in an office by clients on the phone) that I'd make a lot of money working on a phone sex line. WHO SAYS THAT TO SOMEONE???? Crikey... and they act like it's a compliment at that! oy. More than one person, so there isn't just one creepazoid out there

Oh, and I've always had a thing for older men, so when I was 25? Hell yes I'd be dating 35 year old guys. Biggest age gap was my last boyfriend who was 13 years older than me.

[Jester]

I posted in another thread about this creepy guy that hit on me twice at my mall job. He's at least 10 years my senior...despite that, I would almost be flattered if he wasn't creepy. Background: I'm only 25.

Okay, ten years older is not always creepy. A 25 year old hitting on a 15 year old? Creepy. But I am 36, and have not only hit on but been involved with people both ten years or more older AND younger than me. I don't think I am creepy for it, either. Of course, I act and look younger than I am, don't have a wife, ex-wife, or kids, and don't act like the typical adult 36 year old either, but still.....just don't think it's that creepy. Hell, two good friends of mine got married last year, when he was 37 and she was 23....and they make an absolutely fantastic couple. (She is actually probably more mature than he is, amusingly.)

Hey Jester, Can we be phone friends?

Sure. Bring it.

I have a phone voice. I actually had a customer from Southern California (I'm in Northern California) who kept calling regarding problems with his account (there weren't any problems after the first call) so he could talk to me. He even got his father to call to tell me what a great guy he was, and I should come down to visit. It was very flattering.

My husband swears I've had Bene Gesserit voice training.

My husband has an incredible, perfect baritone voice. He works for a school district, near the main office, and he has had several women show up to check him out after talking to him on the phone.

I get hit on most of the time . They say I am sexy, handsome & whatnot, but I think it is because, I have that *Randy Orton*, attitude going on.

A Gold Star to the first person that gets that reference .

Do you spread your arms wide too?

Nice to see there's at least one other wrestling fan on the board. I do hope that you are a little nicer to the ladies than Orton is known to be

[Rapscallion]

You've been hit on on these very boards....

The only times Ive gotten hit on were by middle aged women....( I'm eighteen, but I'm not necessarily into that, even if I loved Harold and Maude haha.)

It's flattering I guess? I dont know.....

I did try something the other day, just to see if it'd work. I walked up to this girl i thought had a nice smile, and I complimented her outfit and just asked her to coffee or something. She said "No" at first, but oddly enough, like an hour later when I'm sitting there at starbucks, she finds me....

Is stalking weird? Either way, we're dating now....hahaha.

It amuses me, when a women will use a line.

[HYHYBT]

It probably didn't hurt that I was dressed in a full-length court jester outfit, including tights

You know, that's a good idea. Dressed like that, people *expect* you to do something foolish...

Some woman complained because her little kid saw it and asked "mommy, what's a vagina monologue?". So they changed the marquis to read "The Hoo-Ha Monologues"--how f-ing ridiculous is that?

I heard that on "Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!" last week! The closest thing to a news show I'll listen to or watch.

I don't know that I've ever been hit on. I'm more amused than anything else.

As for the women being jealous only for their less attractive mates: it may be a matter of expectation. If you're dating Mr. Handsome, presumably you expect other women to flirt a bit, but if your guy isn't so hot then if someone's flirting anyway it must be serious. Never mind that it's all in their heads anyway. Alternately, I expect Mr. Handsome would have a wider selection and therefore could more easily find a mate who isn't irrationally jealous.

[nekoro]

Totally OT, I know, but Crazyredhead, where did you get your avi? So cute!

Back on topic:

While I was doing tech support I was helping a guy with his MP3 player, and he obviously had his roommates there.

Me: "Is there anything else I can do for you?"

Indistinct mumbling in the background. Then the customer, sounding really embarassed. "Would you go out with me." Background laughter.

I declined of course, but it sounded like his roommates put him up to it. Poor guy.

As a guy who's very good at becoming friends with(but not so good at getting dates with) women

On the flip side, I seem to have a knack for becoming friends with guys who want to date me who I just want to be friends with. I guess ya just can't win...

What can I say? My voice rocks. Of course, I have often said that my voice isn't mine, but actually belongs to a tall, tanned, musclebound lifeguard somewhere in California.....and whose friends keep wondering why the dude has a voice that would be better on a goofy skinny short dude.

Hey Jester, Can we be phone friends?

-ams-

[myswtghst]

This is going to head OT, I can already tell, but here goes....

After my first few months at the call center, I started noticing the trend--customers and even coworkers commenting on my "sexy" voice (as I've said, I've got the low, husky female voice going on). I happened to mention it to two of my guy friends on the way to the bar one night, and it quickly segued into one of their favorite inside jokes.

Me: Me
J: My ex, who I'm still good friends with
B: J's roommate

Me: I still don't understand it, though it's flattering.....
J: Well, you do have a great voice.
B: Hey! We could start our own phone sex line and have you be our operator!
Me: No.
B: C'mon, it'd be fun.
Me: Honestly, I wouldn't be able to do it without laughing. I just can't talk "sexy" and be serious. It makes me giggle. (It really does!)
J: I've got it!!
Me and B: Yes?
J (with a very triumphant look on his face): A Clown phone sex line! Then it would be ok if you laughed!
Me: ???
J: We'd get you a little horn, and everything! You could appeal to people with a, um, circus fetish! Yeah, people who get turned on by clowns.
B: There've gotta be people like that out there.

And so it went. And now, every once in a while, especially when there is booze involved, they pitch the idea again, and I vehemently say no, because, thanks to IT by Stephen King, I cannot stand clowns.

And that's my story.

The only time I ever got asked out was three days after I proposed to my wife.

[DesignFox]

I posted in another thread about this creepy guy that hit on me twice at my mall job. He's at least 10 years my senior...despite that, I would almost be flattered if he wasn't creepy. Background: I'm only 25. He knew this (having asked the first time he hit on me and asked ). I get the feeling that he is lonely since his divorce (yes, he shared a little TMI the first time he came in). I don't mind listening and being sympathetic, but it's not an opening for you to pursue me.

Also-
Here's a tip; when you are shopping with your daughter, drop the pick-up lines...

The worst I got from this guy was at Halloween. I was dressed in a black tank top, butterfly wings, with little devil horns and a pitch fork. (I called myself an imp).

At that time of night, I think I had taken off the wings so I could clean the store up. Guy had been pestering me for awhile, and creeping me out with his eyes constantly wandering to my boobs.

Guy says to me, "So, when do I get to see your devilish side?"
Me- "um...I work at _____. I think I have to leave the devilish side at home."
Guy- "Well, I didn't mean here!"
Me: *blushing profusely* "I'm all deviled out..."

I managed to sneak away for a minute after that, but then had to help ring him out when the shopping was done.

Side note:
Kinkoid- I think I have to agree. Some of the most flattering pick ups I have ever gotten were from black men. They are very honest and direct. They also understand when you are politely telling them "no" and don't push the issue. I got some cute compliments from a couple of black men while in college and at one of my photo studio jobs. (they all made me blush profusely, but I didn't feel like I had to take a shower afterward)

[Rapscallion]

I agree; I'm not hung up on looks either, however you're damn right. It's always the girlfs of the less attractive who act that way.

Well, if that's all they can get, they're going to be more possessive, right?

I haven't been hit on in probably a decade. If some guy were to hit on me, I probably wouldn't know what to say or do. I can blush very easily.

Damn, now I am depressed. Thank you.

I don't know that I've ever been hit on. I'm more amused than anything else.

As a guy who's very good at becoming friends with(but not so good at getting dates with) women, I can say I've *never* used a pickup line unless it was A.) a joke and B.) purposefully bad.

That said, I get hit on on occasion by customers at my current job. I have a severe case of deep voice, and the phones filter out all the nasal, leaving pure deep resonance. It also makes me sound 40, but oh well...

Anyhow, most of the truely stellarly bad lines I've heard are eclipsed by this thread, but I did hear one truely funny one, said to a coworker...

"Hey babe, I work in a body shop. Wanna bring yours by for a check sometime?"

She wasn't, shall we say, subtle in her laughing at him.
