One that worked on me was, "Okay, can I kiss you now?"

"Hey - want to go to a hockey game?"  Works like a charm.

Mary, I have told your story of John and the "Bach Dogs" about 15 times - it
delights everyone that hears it.

        Yeah.  I probably wouldn't mention it if it didn't work. :)

re #52 - I must be using it on the wrong people.  (it's never worked for 
me with anyone I wanted to date at the time I used the line ... it has 
worked for finding a friend to use a spare ticket)

   Someday, I would like to see Mary tell the story of why she was
inspired to bevel her concrete steps with a riding mower.

In my entire life, I have dated exactly one person.  So I'm not exactly 
an expert on the subject, except, hey, I'm still with her so I guess 
I'm batting 1000.  I met Valerie over a period of years on M-Net and 
Grex.  We were pretty good friends long before we even thought of a 
relationship.

Speaking as a non-expert, complimenting a woman's appearance is not 
always a good pick-up line.  As Marcus says, you have to pay attention 
to the cues.  Lots of women dress down, not up.  If she is wearing a 
baggy sweat shirt and no make-up, she is probably not trying to impress 
people with her appearance, and a compliment about her appearance is 
not likely what she is angling for.  Such a compilement is going to 
sound like a male reflex response to a female body, not like you 
actually looked at her.

Maybe you should just bring along a bone-headed friend, teach him three 
really dumb pickup lines, and follow him around saying, "I really liked 
the way you told that idiot off."

Why not? I couldn't live with a woman whose interest in life was "dressing
up".

Well, it *is* silly to worry about clothing.  I suppose we should all wear
utilitarian jumpsuits everywhere.  Truth is, some people care, some don't.
It's another compatibility issue between people.

Well, I think utilitarian jumpsuits would be ok but only if they came 
in fun flower patterns! :)

I consider it a waste of flesh to be preoccupied with primping.

I guess I half-agree with both of you.  I tend to get along better with people
who don't get too hung up on clothing (or belongings in general, really), so
I'd be more likely to hit on someone in a sweatsuit than someone in tight
jeans and heavy makeup.  But I also tend to get along better with people who
give a damn about what they do, and showing up at a fancy event in a sweatsuit
does make it look like you don't really give a damn.

Public image is a very useful tool.  I'd say also it is somewhat 
indicative of a person's perspectives.  Honestly, you have to consider 
human nature, and so appearance is indeed something to be considered.

Dan put it in easy terms.  We will make impressions of people based on 
how they are dressed.  That is a simple fact.  We can make sure our 
judgments are carefully considered, but to deny that we even make them 
at all, or that they would affect our opinion is pure rubbish.

A fancy event does not seem like a good place to try to meet people, unless
you really enjoy going to fancy events and want to meet someone else who does.
Jim made the mistake of crashing a party and met his future wife there.  He
is not interested in parties.  I met Jim via my bicycle and tent.

I know of a guy in Washington DC who kind of always wears suits with 
wrinkles and he sometimes looks like he slept in them and he doesnt 
seem to comb his hair and he is WAY more successful than most people in 
the Washington DC area. 

Sure, we do make judgements about people based on how they are dressed. 
I know a lot of people who if they see someone who is *too* dressed up 
will think that the person is shallow and vain about their appearance. 
I know other people who decide that a person obviously doesnt care 
about themselves or anyone else if they decide not to wear panty hose 
with a dress. I try to get to know people before passing judgement on 
them, but like most people, I dont always have time for that. So, like 
most people, I do tend to go forward based on appearance.
