A new survey of online flirting by dating website Badoo.com has found that the best Internet chat-up line for men to use is: "You have beautiful lips." Poster Comment: So, women like compliments about their lips because it's bold and personal?
"We have found the Holy Grail of flirting," said Badoo Director of Marketing Lloyd Price.
...
Complimenting a woman's lips was the most successful overall, but other lines worked best in particular countries.
American, French, Italian or Brazilian women were more responsive to "You dress beautifully." Brits preferred praise for their legs, Spaniards responded to compliments about their hair, while Germans and Canadians preferred skin praise. Dutch and Portuguese women liked: "You have beautiful ears."
Jo Hemmings, a British behavioural psychologist said women responded best to compliments about their lips because it's a bold approach that seems more personal.
"What many women want is for men to take the initiative and not be wishy-washy," Hemmings said in a statement accompanying the survey. "A lot of men on dating sites send a sort of generic message and women recognize something that hasn't been customised for them."
Why dont they respond positively to "Hey, you, lets fuck" then? That's bold and personal. Maybe "I'll bet your pussys nice. Lets fuck" would get a better reaction, but I doubt it. For women, there seems to be a fine line between "bold and personal" and creepy. For men, those things are logical extrapolations.
I used to know a guy who claims he got laid by complementing a womans shoes.

Those women and men as well that screw on the first date before marriage are still known as whores and sluts IMO.

I've often thought about St.Paul's affliction that he begged, and prayed to be removed. Many have thought that it was some vision problem that he had. I have come to believe, that, like many of us, he was a horn-dog. (Thank God, he didn't have the internet back then.)

While in the military, I had a friend that scored every time, bar none. Really quite simple... Three young ladies walk into the bar, One is pretty, one is so so and the other rather plain. He immediately latched onto the plain lady, after spending for two or three drinks, he and the lady would be gone. The next day he would come dragging back to the base, exhausted, happy, well fed, satisfied and with money in his pocket. Others would spend a bundle on the lookers, go home drunk, no joy and broke.
It's never worked for me. Try complimenting her perfume. Something like, "That's a lovely scent. You smell good enough to eat." If the woman is actually worth your time, you'll get slapped. Otherwise, her interest will certainly be sparked. ; )
We didn't flirt in the 60s. If there was a mutual attraction you fired up a joint and listened to psychedelic music. Before you knew it, you'd be entwined in the back of a VW beetle :)
No. Back then, if you clicked, you clicked. If not, you didn't. Not much BS going on then. And not any questions asked about tomorrow...

Reminiscent of the stories my husband tells. I, of course, was tooooo young. He had the VW bus with the sign that read Gas, Grass or Ass, nobody rides for free.
Tough women come from New York, sweet women from Texas, prissy women from Southern California, but we NORTHERN CALIFORNIA WOMEN have fire & ice in our blood. We can ride 4-wheelers, be a princess, throw a left hook, pack heat, hunt with the men, bake a cake, love with passion, and if we have an opinion, you know you're going to hear it!! Shoes are likely effective....but, "I can tell you're a deep thinker" is big these days.
Have penis will travel?

Many years ago, I went on a date (actually a pre-date, trying to convince her to date) with this girl. One of the first things she said to me in the car was Apparently guys had a habit of showing her their junk, which she didnt like. She was correct. Have junk, will travel, and show same.

Yes. Sex sells. And the more, the better. (Or so it seems.)

Dude, that doesn't sound like the Eric Stratton that know.
Dillo is an old friend from another forum. It is part of a running gag really. See Armadillos have large penises such that if they were human it would be 4' long.

I bet it could, everytime it continued to run all the way to the drive in. : ) Plus, I never under estimate the value of a great bumper sticker. I used to cruize in a three tone blue 1978 Honda Accord that had one. It said: AS A MATTER OF FACT I DO OWN THE ROAD. lol

I just happened to be lurking over at Badoo the other day.. it seems to be a shitty website to me! :-P
Solutions for Ireland. Say NO to the IMF/World bank. Default on our debt. Print our own debt free currency. Nationalise the trillion euros worth of gas and oil off our west coast. Take back our fishing (200 billion worth). Get our farmers growing again. Done deal if our politicians had the backbone. ~ Jim Corr
Eric Stratton is a babe hound, much like Sam Malone. He even had a babe kit. :)

"You're not going to show me your penis are you?"
I was shocked, because I had considered doing that, and said "no, no of course not."
The pre-date didnt lead to anything. In hindsight, maybe I should have showed her my penis.
