Poll: Inside the Male mind. A question to all Females. Issue 2

[Saelune]

Though I guess a coryn line could always be rebounded in some positive way. I think if a guy made some corny nerd pick up line to me and seemed nice, Id probably go with it.

I was hitting on my best female friend a few years back (hence why we were arguing about it) and we had gone outside to get some fresh air since we had been dancing. She looked up and said, "Where are all the stars?" I look up and said, "They're lost in your eyes."

She laughed at me and pretended to puke. She said it was just too corny. In hindsight, it probably was, but I didn't think it was too bad. >.>

Well, thats a bit different I think. Corny lines are bad with strangers at a bar, but if a male friend of mine said that to me, Id probably get red and stutter.

My favorite bad pick up line is, "If I were sine and you were cosine we could make tangent"

EDIT: used it on a friend once and got hit on the nose with a rolled up magazine

I would laugh, and probably not take it so seriously, though if you were a stranger, then I might think that you atleast want to make me laugh for some reason.

Excellent. A lady's laugh is all I live for.

I'm not sure if it's just me, but I happen to be really blunt about my feelings towards a guy. If I like him, I tell him. If I don't, I make sure he doesn't think I do by never leading him on or being flirty towards him (it helps that I am not that great of a flirt either). I have never had a guy say I've led him on, but I've definitely been led on by guys before.

I don't do any of that "subtly place my hand near him so he'll brush up against it when he moves" stuff. I just don't find it helpful, and it leads to mixed messages. Unfortunately, not all people act the same way, so it's hard to generalize what women or men do when they're interested. Wish I could be more help.

I did make her turn red and stutter once. We were in anatomy class talking about the reproductive system and our teacher had told a ten minute story that had no relevence to what we were talking about in the class and lost his train of thought.

I turned to her since she sat next to me and said, "Well, that was anticlimactic." I've never seen anyone turn that red before. It was quite amusing.

Help us out a little and tell us what the "Signs" are. Maybe we will finally get it, we just need a little bit of help.

But what would the fun in that be? ^^

Also, I always preferred the phrase: "Some guys you have to hit over the head with a brick. With the rest, you need a bigger brick." That's paraphrased, but you get the idea. ^^

**laughs** BRICK. Not dick. Generally speaking, penis size doesn't come up while flirting with someone. Well, unless they're using a particularly awful pickup line.

 

[clanknfrends]

I'm a fan of say what you mean and mean what you say and not look into it past that point and call it a day. If you look into anything anyone says too much, you can find anything in it. Then it's all downhill from there.

I can't think of any pick up lines that do (not counting the blunt approach)

I hate to break it to you but there is no secret girl code. If you want to know something ask and you will get a straight answer.

 

[M Rotter]

it depends on the situation, ive dropped subtle hints about my interest or been very frank about it, depends on the person. With advances towards me that i dont like, again depending on the severity, i either dont react to their signals at all or i just tell them no.

actually i suppose it depends on how well i know them. People i dont know who im expressing interest in or vice versa i usually am more subtle in a "testing the waters" sense. With people i know well, ill make it clear, usually because i want to stay friends with them and not have any misunderstandings or awkwardness.

LIES! my top scientist have assured me that they are close to breaking the girl code, soon I will know all of your secrets!

 

[Chancie]

I'm female, but I kinda suck at "giving signals," I think. If I've known you for a while, I can be a little more obvious, but if I just met you or something, and I really like you, I'm going to seem shy and might seem high strung and a bit flustered. If I stumble over my words and turn red in the face easy, that's my "signal," I guess.

That is actually an easy one to read because a basic inquiry with people who know you better would reveal that this doesn't happen a lot (unless you really like every guy you meet)

CURSES!

 

[TheLaofKazi]

This question doesn't work, it implies there is an objective set of signals and rituals that is only instinctively known to females (and of course, tru playaz).

 

[Emergent System]

If only we had the ability to express ourselve succinctly without the need for obtuse, arbitrary, hidden 'signals' to convey messages lucidly.

Wait... I think we do! Isn't it called... language?

Jeeze, just talk to each other.

Speaking on behalf of all guys, thank you for doing that. Girls who don't wind up in situations annoying for them and heartbreaking for the poor guy way too often. Let's just say it was a refreshing change of pace when the last girl I took an interest in told me no in no uncertain terms; it allowed us both to move on, without any misunderstanding or awkwardness between us. Compare that to the girl before her, who was also telling me no, but in a way that left a lot of hope. I chased after her for months before I finally got the message that she wasn't interested, despite all of the attention she was paying me and all of the hope she was giving me. Ladies, don't be that girl.
