Put me down!
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Let’s call this “Scenes of a Diva”. The scene: My office. The characters: Yours truly busy at work (oh hush, I do work!), Clueless Single Guy - slightly older man who works in another department. Keep in mind, this is our first real conversation, which just makes this entire scene that much more creepy!
CSG walks in the office and looks at my desk.
CSG: Are those your kids in that picture?
WD: No, those are my sister’s kids.
CSG: You don’t have children?
WD: No, I don’t have any.
CSG: Why not?
WD: I don’t have a husband, which I sort of want before I have kids.
CSG: You are single, with no kids?
WD: Yup
CSG: Why, don’t you like men?
WD: speechless
CSG: How old are you anyway?
WD: still speechless
CSG: Maybe you just come across wrong to men.
Yes, it was just that random. Believe me, he said more outrageous things to me after that. I had no idea this guy was flirting with me. How could I? He actually insulted me before having the nerve to actually ask me out on a date. I was stunned!
I was thinking, “Wait, did he just try to pick me up!? That’s a pick up line!? If this is what he calls a pick-up, he needs to put me down, and then just walk away!
It wasn’t until after I declined his offer that he realized he wasn’t impressing me with his so called macking skills. I guess my sarcasm and evil glances completely went unnoticed. Great, now I am the angry black woman with an attitude problem. Fine! In this particular situation, I didn’t mind that stereotype!
Have you ever had someone treat you outright mean, in an attempt to actually woo you?
Do you agree with that old adage, treat them mean, keep them keen? Has that ever worked for you?
Do you get better responses from someone that you insult or are rude to than being kind and considerate?
What is your worst, strangest, most outrageous pick up line or wooing technique you have used or was used on you? What kind of response did you give/get?
Happy FRIDAY!!!

I was at one of those Play Dates events and this man who was supposedly flirting told me he didn’t usually date 6’s, but in my case he would make an exception. No thanks buddy!

Wow…@ WiseDiva’s story! I want to know what you said to finally get that loser out of your office.
The worst pick up lines are usually common, ie “tall drink of water,” or “I’d love to climb you.” Nothing too bad.
I guess the only instance I can think of where someone tried to insult me while asking me out was the guy I met on Martha’s Vineyard. He told me I was fine and he wanted to take me out, but he thought my toes were ugly. Needless to say, that date never materialized.
Happy Friday everyone. My weekend starts right now!

Oh….I’ve got one. In Sunday School at a Buckhead Church (no names here)…. it was an adult singles class…. I had my daughter with me, then about 12 or so… a man behind me kept talking to my child telling her “Your mommy sure has pretty hair”…. and things like that…I finally turned around after several more odd comments and told him thanks for all the compliments but he could probably talk in a ‘big boy’ voice and tell me directly…..
Needless to say…. I later watched him use this technique with several other women…. Bizarro!!!!!

Good Morning
In my younger days, those of the less enlightened youth, I would say some really nasty things to women, but being cute enough to get away with it, I did.
I have since been more gracious. But most guys will say anything to beautiful woman, due to nervousness mostly.
@ A Red You keep talking bout these “tall drinks of water” I might have to see you soon.

I never really understood why guys will insult you, but actually be attracted to you. I normally receive these kind of comments while Im at the fitness center. For example, a guy will walk up to me to tell me to add more weight to my machine or to speed up on the treadmill. That never works on me. Actually, it only makes things worse. Why don’t they understand that I must be doing something right to garner their attention. Guys, jus so you know, if you want a date with a woman, you should talk about all of the positives you see, and not mention any negatives until you know her better, or not.

OMG! This conversation piece is too hilarious!! Good morning, all. It’s been a long time..I know I know..but anyway, I have such an issue with my child’s father. We are friends with benefits and have been that way after two weeks of trying to manipulate a serious relationship. He is such anass! I have always tried to be on my best behavior with him but NO! He doesn’t appreciate that. He just gets cockier and cockier and i’m like ugghh? Then when ever a fly buzzes up my nass and I give him my nass to kiss, then he straightens up and flies right. What is wrong with these people? Things would be soooo much better between us. I had to give him the “it’s not ME, IT’S YOU!”
“No..I’m sorry..This just ain’t gonna work out. It’s not me, it’s you.”

Good Morning
Because I think women find bad boys more interesting, I often use a little insult to spark conversation with a woman. Something like, “You have a quirky smile but it works for you!” Somehow, it seems to work.
Happy Friday to everybody!

@ Amazon, well he kept digging a bigger hole, and said I was doing “too much” by getting a master’s degree and buying a condo. Oh, and I also should lower my expectations/standards (or what, be faced with a lifetime of scrapbooking and owning six cats?) if I wanted to get a mate. So he starts telling ME how he is a good man, he only has one daughter, and we probably could get along. It’s almost as if he said, don’t aim high, pick me, Mr. Mediocre! Then it just became downright funny, like I actually started laughing. I took the classy route and told him that I don’t date on the job. sigh

I was at a club with on of my friends when she had to run off to the ladies room. Standing there alone I guess I was a rather obvious target. This guy who had already had a few walked up and tried to hit me up. Unfortunately for him he didn’t see my friend walk up behind him and ask him how his wife was doing. He looked at me and uttered this classic line:
But I am not married tonight, baby!!!

Sup y’all!
This has been the week from h3ll! And it’s not over. But, I wanted to stick my head in and say HOWDY!
On topic: When I was in college, I was dating a guy in a fraternity. He was a little older than me and had already graduated. He was a musician and one of my best friends was in a group with him (how I met him). Every Thursday night, the group played at a bar across the street from my dorm. So, you know where I was every Thursday night. There was a guy who was a “Musty bouncer” (notice the quotes, b/c this dude was real low to the ground, and not the most muscular man in the world, and our theme song for him was “Thank You For the Funk”) who would also be there on some of the Thursdays. He was also my man’s frat brother. They were actually good friends. One day I was coming back from class and there stood “bouncer” at the front door of my dorm. He was a few yrs older than my man, and hadn’t been in college in probably 6 yrs at that point. But brotha man was always on campus for some dumb reason. I spoke, and kept moving. Later that night, my roommate and suitemate and I are all studying to the beats of New Edition. There comes a knock at the door. Roomie answers and hollers back into my suitemate’s room that I have a visitor. I ask who it is, since she didn’t say my man’s name. She said it was some very dressed up guy. “Musty Bouncer” had shown up, in a suit, trench coat, and fedora, with a newspaper under his arm wanting to take me out. I reminded him that I was dating his frat brother. He didn’t care. Strike two (one being, you showed up uninvited). This fool perches himself on my bed, and proceeds to talk about the weather for the next 30 minutes. I’m steady backing up to the door trying to get him to leave so I can go back to studying, and my roomie is in tears laughing on her side of the room. Finally, I just had to tell him to go. He asked me out AGAIN!! At that point, I’m p!ssed he was so disrespectful of my relationship, and have a headache from the strong, oniony smell in the room now, that I just put him out. Maybe he’s a cousin of Wise’s CSG!!

Of course the female then turns around to see what this lil mama is talking about, and wala, she’s reeled in….all the while, Jr. is sittin’ back playin it cool…

Now this is the story of my life. Wise Diva…ole dude would have so gotten cursed out…or more so verbally bytch-slapped! He actually formed his lips to say you should lower your standards? I have heard that….I’m like so I just take anything born male huh? Sorry buddy…do you see DESPERATE stamped on my forehead?
Let’s see..dumb azz pick up lines…”girl that thang looks a lil’ heavy, let me help you tote it”. I simply reply, “Is your colon swollen….’cause you’re full of shyt!” I have also heard the tall drink of water line ARed…so I reply, ” I guess you’re azz will go thirsty!” Oh I have heard so many corny lines…those are just 2. I just wonder what kind of responses do these guys expect from these type of come ons? Would they even want a woman who finds those lines to be attractive? I HATE a guy who approaches me without even knowing my name and comments on my body? That is the biggest turn-off. It’s one thing to comment on his attractive a woman is…but have some class about it.

Having bartended for over a decade, I can tell you that there are no magic “pick-up lines”. None. Zero. Guys who fish for one, are foolish. I’ve observed that it’s all about building playful comfort…and if a guy goes out without an agenda—-simply wants to meet a lot of different people—-there is no pressure involved, and he’s likely to create a relaxed rapport, which improves the odds that he’ll meet someone.
Women rightfully put up defenses, and most men try to punch thru them...instead of just calming walking around them. Every guy fears rejection, and women can be cruel...so there's great potential for awkward behavior. Yet if a guy realizes that every encounter is simply saying "hello" to another person we share the world with (and that nothing is really on the line), he stops manuevering and starts being genuine. It's the sincerity thing that is attractive...and candidly, the guys who have that aren't out to pick someone up. It's counter-intuitive; but the guy who doesn't care about attempting a tryst, is more likely to have one. Human nature, it's the way it is.By kinderbabe

Good morning blogsville.
On topic: A few friends of mine were parked at Grant Park leaning against our cars and talking. A chick makes a beeline to me and says “I know you can afford me”. We looked at each other and laughed. I wont say my response.
I don’t have a standard pick up line. Situation dictates but usually it starts from a mutual conversation.
NC did you tell your guy? I know some guys like that. LOL

I’ve actually gotten pretty normal pickup lines, nothing too offensive. That’s probably why I can’t recall very many. There was a guy recently who tried to pick me up in Wal-Mart when I was shopping for my cousin’s baby shower. He was on an aisle with his girl and kids, but he ended up coming back to the baby section by himself to holla at me. His line was “So…how old are your kids?” I’m thinking to myself, “no he didn’t ditch his family to come back here and try to get me hemmed up!!” I don’t think he knew that saw them all together.
I don’t really have pickup lines myself, I just try to start a conversation by telling the truth. I had been watching this guy at Strip for a while and when he went out on the balcony, I walked up to him and told him that I had been trying to work up my nerve to come and say hello. I told him that he looked nice and had a smile that made me blush. We ended up talking for a while.

Many years ago - somewhere in the stone age when there were discos and clubs were called meat markets,, a charming young man came up to me, offered to buy me a drink and proceeded to use half the foul language in his vocabulary (which fortunately was limited) while trying to “hit” on me. I was stunned and half slogged, so it loosened my own tongue a bit-and told him I thought cursing was the sign of a tiny mind. He said he was the “earthy-type”, then turned to grin at the bartender who was listening to our conversation. I swallowed my drink, and said “funny, I really would have thought subterranean was a better description”, then walked away. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw his mouth hanging open in confusion and the bartender laughing his shot glass off.

…Blat putting on MLB approved riot gear, including NadsProtector, and blog-bulletproof vest… also telepathically calling roommate Truth for backup…
“sup Blogesians!!”
Agent WD-40, you got me with that one! Treat ‘em mean, Keep ‘em keen. The first time I heard that saying I was 21 and had been married a little over a year. Already a pattern had developed with my ex where, basically, when I would treat her dotingly, she would try to walk all over me. But… let me be cold and distant for a day or two and she was all over me.
It had actually started for me as a teenager when I was perpetually in the FriendZone and no girl ever took me seriously until I grew some muscles and started being a little bit of an a-hole. Next thing you know, the same girls that put me in FZ were flocking.
Needless to say, nowadays I usually put Mean-Blat out there first, and reserve Sweet-Blatino for very few. It’s just been my experience that every time, just about, that I lead with sweet, gentleman Guy, their thought process seems to be “Oh my gosh, a guy who can relate to me and understands me. We can be GREAT FRIENDS!!” Whereas when I lead with the Jerk, it’s “F that Nicca! Always talkin ish and being all neanderthal!!! But he is kinda fine though, lemme give hime some @$$…”

This probably doesn’t qualify as a pick-up line, cause I wasn’t trying to get with the dude, I just had to tell him that he was driving me crazy! There was this guy named Bill back at UGA. Bill was as fine as all get out!! He had played ball and graduated, but he came back often to campus parties. I was a freshman and had been seeing him around for a minute and could never get up the nerve to say anything to him.
Finally, after a party, I went up to Bill while he was with his boys and said something like this: “Dayum Bill! Look, I don’t want you to say anything. I don’t want your number or to go out with you or anything like that. I just gotta tell you that you are fine as hellz and that you drive me up the wall everytime I see you.” Then I just dropped the mic and walked off. LOL! I left 30 people standing there like, “WTF?”
We were friends after that. I wouldn’t mind seeing him now though, 12 years later. Fine azz Bill, where you at???

Last month an older male employee came into my office to meet with my supervisor. That particular day I wore a nice mini-skirt suit…not too short…I make sure my attire is always professional. As I stood up, he said “Damn!” I responded with “Excuse me? Is there something wrong? He said, “No…I’m admiring your suit.” I thought to myself, “yeah…right.” Anyways…ol’ dude continued by saying, “Hey…I heard you’re recently divorced. So what do you do to release your needs because I know you have them.”
At that point the devil horns were merging through my hair! I was appalled to say the least. And now I’m also labelled as the “Angry, Skinny Black Woman”!! WHATEVER!!!!

My pick up line is “Hi, I’m abc, what’s your name?” or something like that. Not that I’ve never tried such lines, but I would have been younger than 20. Pickup lines are kind of stupid.
Baby, Is that the way you LOOK? Are those really your eyes, is that really your hair, is that the way you walk, are those the clothes you wear?
Well, I rubbed my eyes, and I pinched my leg, and I asked my friend, and I shook my head, but baby, is that the way you LOOK?!

I don’t do that mean face myself. Like I said, general convo is all I have. I enjoy having a good conversation with a woman based on whatever we have in common.
When I was in germany there was a dove I wanted to get with. She was bad. She was walking across this parking lot with some popcorn. I said “I want some of that”. She raised the popcorn to offer me some and I said not that. That was it. It was a wrap.

@ The ladies
Personalized liscense plates are not good, more than once, I’ve called a woman by the name on her liscense plate just to get her attention.
BTW: Same goes for name tags, desk signs, and overhearing your name called in general.
For me, to look you in the eyes, and to say your name in a familiar yet flirty way, may be the best intro I have.

WD I have always been amazed at how many men ask you if you have kids (maybe 2nd question) and then if you say no, they ask you “Why not?” What IS the appropriate response to that??? I’ve said what you’ve said, told them that I wasn’t married. Then I got “So? You don’t have to be married to have kids!!”. At this point, I either excuse myself from further conversation or just give them the blank stare and crickets cause I can’t figure out why dude is so invested in my reproductive habits.

Some women can not handle or even recognize pick up lines or anything less than a full blown compliment; luckily my girl was different. I was invited to a fundraiser event, this 9.5 has a killer dress on and I knew I got to talk to her. I approached and told her that I liked her dress then asked if she got it from Bed Bath & Beyond
Her: Do they sell clothes there?
Me: You tell me, the patterns on your dress match perfectly those on my shower curtain….

At a metal fest here in Atlanta last weekend, a guy walked up to an acquaintance and first, asked if she was 2 other girls’ mother (she’s 43, they’re 29 and 23). Then after she answered “no, I’m their sister,” said “You must have had a lot of surgeries to look as good as you do.” ?!?!? THEN… after getting blown off by the younger women, asked if she had any sisters who would actually TALK to him.
First runner-up (same event) goes to the guy with this pick-up line: “I want to eat your a$$.” He tried it on no less than 5 women in my hearing. It didn’t work on any of them. :b

Pick up line are for lames, sure they worked in our early 20’s…Good conversation skill will get you a long way.
The TRUTH (not you bruh and sup to all the gangstas), as long as you are an eye candy in said woman’s eyes, MOST women will listen to what you have to say no matter how stupid your lines or how drunk you are that night, SOME women don’t.
BLAT from my own experiences, being an arse hole will allow you to f/k most of the women you meet…but pointless if you’re looking for a quality woman.

I never used pick up lines. As stated earlier, the situation dictated the approach. However, I have used the same conversation starter on different occasions. I’m a chocolate brotha and I’m attracted to women with smooth dark skin. After the introductions, I would compliment them on how pretty their skin is. Then I would place my hand next to theirs to compare the similarity of our skin tones. Then I’d jokingly say something like “we’re almost the same color. We prolly from the same tribe and don’t even now it. We’re like Kizzy and Kunta, yet they got us walking around here lost, not even speaking to our own kinfolk. Wuzzup cousin!” it sounds and looks weird typing it, but that always broke the ice and made them smile……….that’s half the battle.

said while i was getting sumthin woom to drink from the coffee center here @ work
A White Chic approached a sista (never, ever, eva, eva eva happen to me IN LIFE): w-chic says You look nice in those jeans!!! Hugh… Yes I burned my tongue on my hot cocoa cocoa i had just took a sip of. At first i said: Is that ‘face value’ OR should i tell her where she can get a pair of the jeans. Then as i was trying to slick my tongue to see if I still had any functional tastebuds left she says: There is a football game tonight…and freaks me out b/c i’m thinking (what does that have to do with anything?)So i start walking away. Un-huh (i better not say nothing cause this chic obv don’t care). So she says (with a sigh) you really look good in those jeans.
YALL! First of all i was caught off guard and for someone who obviously works for the same Co. i will see her agian, right. (this was my first time ever seeing the her). What should i do next time i see here? Nothing? I’m spent…WTH?

As a man, my favorite technique for reeling in a hottie is to just walk up to her, flash a great smile, have a slightly evil glint in my eye, and just say: “If I had used a line on you, would it have worked?”
She either will say no, yes, maybe, or it might have.
Thing is, I just used a line WITHOUT USING A LINE!
Now, we’re past that, the ice is broken, and we either both are interested in each other and go from there, or I just move on to the next hottie :)
And past tense in the question is important - if I use present tense, and she says “it might”, then now I have to think of a corny line…and if she doesn’t think it’s cute, I’m shot down…

While this was not a “pick-up” line, I was standing next to a young lady one day at Starbucks, and after she got her coffee, she said aloud that she should’ve gotten some chocolate shavings in her coffee.

BennyB, so true…. ChickLogic is the philosophical discipline based on the belief that nothing a woman says she wants is what she actually wants. It includes such un-written axioms as …
1: Women never want the real answer to any question, they just want to be reassured and validated. Ex. “Sweetie, if I died, how long would you wait to get married again?” or “Honey, if you had to pick one, which one of my girlfriends would you most want to sleep with?” OR “Does this dress make me look fat???”. NONE of these has any correct answer.
2: Women LOVE to be treated like crap. This is self eplanatory and every member of our panel knows at least TWO women in such a situation.
3: The real hum-dinger - Many women, in order to test a man’s love, will actually Break UP with him in order to get him to pursue them again, thus proving he loved them. I know tons of girls who’ve had this backfire on them.(The FriendZone does have its tactical recognisance advantages…)
These and many others comprise the vague view of the world known as ChickLogic. LMAO!!!

2CPTG how do gals hit on other gals??
Disclaimer—->GA.man, this will probably earn me a fine for length
I think I had been in Atlanta about a year or so and hadn’t yet had the experience of another woman trying to hit on me, so I didn’t recognize it for what it was. I was shopping by myself in Macy’s or Sears for some shoes and being a woman, I asked the closest woman, who looked to be about my age, what she thought of the shoes I picked out. She said she liked them and from that point on, we shoe shopped together. I’m thinking, DANG!! Atlanta women are friendly!! LOL!
So after I bought my shoes, I told the girl “good luck with her shopping” and headed out. She ran behind me and asked me where I was headed. I told her that I was going to pick up some lunch at the food court. She said that she was waiting on her friend to come join her at the mall and asked if she could sit and talk with me until she got there. My naive azz thought I was making a new friend!
She started to tell me over lunch about how she and her last boyfriend broke up and that she was through with guys. I’m the “amen” chorus, thinking that she meant she was done temporarily. Then she asked me if I was dating anyone, to which I said no, and gave her my experience and told her that I was giving men a break too. Sista’s eyes lit up.
By then her friend had arrived and they gave each other a huge hug and I’m thinking “Oh, how sweet!” They asked me if I wanted to attend a party later that night that they were throwing with a few of their female friends. I STILL didn’t catch on, so I told them I’d think about it. I left the whole experience thinking how nice the women were here to invite me to their party and they didn’t even know me!
I didn’t put it together until I called my sister and relayed the story. Once my sister spelled it out for me, I felt kinda stupid, but at least I didn’t go to that party. They might have been trying to convert Foots up in there!!

2CPTG I’ve been a lesbian for quite some time now. What I have observed is that they have a distinct advantage when approaching other women. They don’t have to deal with the preconceived male wants azz, must protect heart, and put up defense dynamic. Lesbians come across as non-threatening and typically infiltrate undetected. They normally hit them with some shyt a dude will never say. Something like “Gurl…who does your hair? Where’s the salon located or those are some fly shoes. Where did you get them?” Then a friendly conversation ensues and numbers are exchanged. However, if you watch their interaction closely, the eye contact gives it away. When a female is trying to hit on another woman, the conversation may sound innocent, but the way she constantly looks deep into her eyes (as if she’s trying to send her a subliminal message.), is any thing but.

Cemeeli, no doubt your co-worker was hitting on you. Women have pickup lines as well. Most start with a compliment of the clothes, shoes or makeup.

In retrospect, there was a line that I have repeated to a few women. I would always jab with a compliment and then upper cut them with a little humor. After the intro’s, (if appropriate) I’d say, “wow….you have a beautiful smile. Your teeth are perfect. Your Dad must be an orthodontist.” Again, it sounds weird, but it would make them smile….

BLAT, I googled chick -logic and actually find a definition on Link: this website
“Chick logic is a way to express, in language or behavior, the total logical disconnect women have in justifying their decisions with their thoughts or beliefs. Chick logic comes about because a woman’s emotional brain doing all the work, and she is trying to explain, in language, her emotional process. Her emotional “rationality” makes no sense to a guy’s rational mind (or other women’s rational minds), so it’s dubbed “chick” logic.”
It’s so awkward because I just realize that most guys here try so hard to use rational logic while talking to women who use emotional”rationality”……

I think one of the reasons men get away with this cr@p is that women let them. And this is because our mothers said things like, “Oh, little Jimmy pushed you on the lunch line? Well, that means he LIKES you!”

Wise Diva, do you work in midtown at the New AT&T cause that sound like this fool name Rodney. He walks around all day hitting on women that are a decade or 2 younger than him. In a 8hr day, he will make his rounds to 12 out of 16 floors just getting rejected. I don’t know how he gets any work done. The women in the bldg will email each other & say, “Come get yo boy, he is on the 5th fl.” I refused several dates & gave the universal excuse, “I don’t date coworkers.” He has spent the last 7yrs trying to explain to me why we are not coworkers cause we are in 2 different depts. Poor thing, after 7yrs, he hasn’t figured out that was just an excuse.

Worst line ever - Weird Guy “Your freckles are cute.” MG “Thanks” Weird Guy “Do they go all the way down? Can I connect the dots?” Followed closely by “I just LOVE redheads - does your carpet match your drapes?” Like that is his business. Sheesh.

Once in NYC, I was on the subway with a friend. This arrogant-a$$ looking dude is sitting across from us, licking his lips & rubbing his crotch. We ignored him. Finally he said “You know, I could f_ both of you”. I glared at his crotch area & replied in my most snooty-a$$ voice “With WHAT?”

“That color looks really nice on you.”
Puzzled, I replied:
“My shirt is white.”
He said:
“I meant your hair highlights and color.”
