What's with starting and not contributing? It's been happening more lately?
OP, what are yours?
My favorite pick up line used to be "all men are pigs." It's like bandwagon advertising.
But they're all dumb.
I don't understand how is that used as a pick up line?
I was around when one of my friends walked up to some chick and said, "Are you an angel because- damn I messed it up! Let me try again, 'did it hurt?' 'When you fell from heaven of course!"
Needless to say he isn't the smartest or fastest individual. Surprisingly he got her number though.
Sounds like a sympathy fuck, if it got that far for your friend. Or maybe she liked that he was so smitten with her that he stumbled.
"All men are pigs" was used quite a bit in the 90's because it was being said anyway, and it became a way to excuse bad behavior as part of one's inherent identity. "What? I know I'm a pig. I'm a
dude." For whatever reason, a great many women are far more impressed with men who lie to them than with men who are honest. Hell, some women have told me that they were impressed with a guy who told them some total bullshit and a few minutes later "admitted" that he had lied because he really wanted to get to know them. Unsurprisingly, these women slept with the guys right away and never got another phone call. Apparently these women didn't realize that they lying hadn't stopped.
What "all men are pigs" is really saying to a woman is that she might as well be talking to you, because she's not going to find a non-swine to talk to tonight. Also, since cynicism and cliche are forms of conventional wisdom, it's easier to build false empathy using such language.
