I’ll agree with April. I spent a few years right after college learning that “flirting + asshole” equals “asshole,” but “funny + asshole” equals “charming.”

This explains Jack Nicholson, by the way.

Oh and funny guys get pussy a lot. Funny makes up for like 10 “good looks” points that are lacking. It’s a proven fact.

BANGED IN A HEART BEAT

Fantastic question. Now the truth is going to come out…

I kinda know the guy. He’s a good lookin’ fella – but the thing is, he’s funny.

Now, his humor probably wasn’t apparent in the opening lines of that conversation, but I think the girl picked up on it.

So April – complete this equation for me:
Relatively handsome + Quick witted + Sort of a dick = ?

I was going to ask if the guy was hot. This does make a HUGE difference. A hot guy can walk up to a woman who is drinking in a bar and pick her up a lot faster than an ugly guy. And he could have been giving her the “I wanna fuck you look” even though he SAID he wasn’t hitting on her. These things are important. And you know, there could have been slim pickin’s in that bar. That girl could’ve been horny and just wanted someone to fuck. The Pill Guy was the best candidate. It happens.

I see it this way, JJ. If this lady decided she wanted to hook up with this guy based on that line, then she was probably gonna fuck him anyway. He could have walked up to her and said, “It’s still real to me, dammit,” and she’d have been willing to continue the conversation.

Was the guy good looking? Because that makes about 80% of the difference here…

I must be stupid, but then again I have never smoked so I did not know the dangers. But if some guy approached me about something personal like that, I wouldn’t be offended, I would probably be curious as to why he felt compelled to approach someone in that manner. Then I would berate and riducule him all the while making him buy me a drink.

I’ve been staying out of this conversation, because I wanted to see what all of you might have to say about it before I weighed in.

Then I saw RockyJay’s comment, which may or may not be completely sarcastic. Though, Knowing RJ, he’s probably serious.

Truth is – I totally agree.

Whether he was hitting on her or not, my guess is, this dude made an impression and probably came off as funny in an odd kind of way. After that conversation died down, it seemed like she was sorta into him. Not only did he get her attention – if they do eventually hit it off, he’s already got the upper hand.

Of course the question is inappropriate, but she responded.

I know it’s not a proper way to meet ladies and it’s not a “nice” approach. And I know you’re not supposed to want the upper hand in a healthy relationship. But I bet women respond to lines like that. If you just want to meet someone for something short term, I suspect his technique works more often than not.

So, now I can’t go anyplace that someone blogs about it?

BTW: that was genius hitting technique!

the question absolutely crosses the line. as a woman who’s on the pill (and also smokes upwards of a pack a day) i can tell you with no uncertainty that there isn’t a GYN in this COUNTRY who prescribes the pill without explaining the dangers of smoking while on it. in fact, they REITERATE the point every time you go in for your annual exam and a renewal of your Rx. aside from all that… who the fuck in their right mind thinks it’s OK to ask a complete stranger about their preferred method of contraceptive? or that they would be un-offended enough to take your “helpful” comments as they were intended?
