The New Pick Up Line

Joining yet another online site for meeting people is always an attention grabbing process. Within the first few days of joining, people from all walks of life fill up the good old inbox with various messages.

The good thing is that I get to be told that I’m beautiful by a lot of random people and there is no obligation to say anything back if I’m not interested. So, naturally I’m soaking up the compliments over here.

On the other hand…it’s really quite baffling the things people will say when anonymity is a factor.


Here are a few choice messages…
  • I was bored and you look interesting and sexy, so what the hell…
    Gee, thanks :-P I’m only good for boredom…fab!
  • Where are you most ticklish, (ribs, feet, underarms etc.)?
    Hmm, perhaps this is too forward for the first EMAIL
  • I am not so interested about a girl's body or how she looks in a tight dress...
    Liar
  • Wanted to see if you wanted to chat, or analyze me or something…
    Huh?! Who said anything about analyzing?
  • I bet you have been inundated with over 100 emails so from dirty, old, married men that just discovered Viagra. If that’s what you’re used to then this email is refreshing and I **STAND OUT**
    Funny, yet I have no words
Finally, there was an email with the sign off, “kisses”…and you all know how I feel about that phrase being used indiscriminately…he must be a German trying to sound emotive or something.

In short, I consider the above to be a smattering of odd pick-up lines for a new age bracket and communications medium. I just hope the next time I’m out on the town and a guy approaches me and asks point-blank where I’m most ticklish, that I’ve tossed back a few drinks already.

Haha, asking where you're ticklish? I hate to be tickled so maybe that's why it bothers me;)

I couldn't imagine using Viagra in a pickup line.

I think that the man who asks you where you're most ticklish will wish that, too.
