Men Please Get A Manual & Ditch Those Tired Pick-Up Lines!

Okay, I just have to bring up a topic about men and how they try, notice I said ' try ' to pick up women. What sparked this topic in my head was because I was watching a movie tonight where this man tried to pick up this woman in the store. I got to thinking about all the times when men flirted and tried to pick me up and I had to address my thoughts on the matter.

First of all I don't like pick-up lines because I can see through them a mile away and most women can. Some women dig them. They find it funny when a man struggles over some tacky line. Well that's some women, that is not me. I prefer a man to be honest but of course that never happens right off. Also, I don't like to be picked up period. I won't give anyone my phone number that I just met so they don't need to bother asking anyway. I have to get to know a man first, which means being around him before I even think of sharing my personal business. Walking up to me while I'm shopping or doing anything else won't get you any place with me. Okay back to the issue…

If I had a nickel for every tired, pathetic line I've heard I would be richer than Queen Elizabeth would! It's so sickening to be subjected to some fool who is too stupid to realize he's using some generic line that women have heard since the beginning of time. I remember when I was shopping with my mom about a week after it became the year 2000. This guy walked up to me (first of all he was too damn old), anyway, he kept walking where I was. You know how they do, they walk around you for a while then pretend to leave then when you think it's safe, they bring their rank behinds back over there. So I knew already he was going to make his move. Ha!

He stood behind me going, " Girl you must be tired. " I said, " Excuse me? Are you speaking to me? " He said, " Yeah. You must be tired because you been running through my mind all day. " First I busted out laughing. Secondly I said, " You have to be kidding me. You mean in the year 2000 you are still using that tired line? I don't mean to be rude but that line is so old Joseph used it on Mary! " He looked like the blood ran straight from his veins. I didn't mean to embarrass the dude but if you're going to come up to me you better have some style. I'm like Aaliyah all right, you come up to me extra smooth or either you better take your behind back from where you came from, dust yourself off and try again! I am not easy to get. Do I look easy, please!

I have yet to hear a smooth line that wasn't said by a man on television. That is why I admire the men from the 70's and 80's. They had style. They knew how to pick up women but they were so damn smooth it didn't even seem like they were picking you up, right women? They dressed neat. They were clean. They had jobs, cars and homes. Now any old fool will try to come up to you. Panhandlers have hit me on! Now you homeless, sitting on the street with a can but you need a woman? Something is wrong with your priorities, man.

My point is that I believe out of 100 men there are probably only 45% (and that's stretching it), that knows what smooth is. I mean if you're looking for some easy booty at least dress it up with some smoothness. Don't come up like, " Baby can I have them digits? " And then wonder why I run away from you faster than money ran from MC Hammer. Guys it's the new millennium! Women aren't going for that tired crap anymore, at least respectable women. I'm not talking about those trashy women that will go off with any guy as long as he buys her a burger. I am talking about respectable women, get it? Like I said, I don't like pick-up lines unless it's so good it knocks me off my feet. It has to be one I've never heard before.

Ah, I remember a smooth line a guy gave me back in high school. He was a transfer student who came from Georgia. He was tall, light skinned and his smile lit up the air. He was soooo cute! I forgot his name though. I heard around campus he wanted me to be his girlfriend but I was too shy to be his girlfriend. Anyway, he said one day in the hall,
" Stacy you know why you make me miss Georgia so much? " I said, " No why? " " Well you remind me so much of a Georgia peach, plump and sweet. " I almost fainted. That was cute and it gave me chills. Now we were only 16 at the time. Now that's a shame that he could come up with something that original at his age but you got 30 year old men today still working with that " running through my mind line ". Ha, ha, ha! I have to laugh. Mom told me about all the times that they used it on her in the 60's! Yet, men are still using it today. And men wonder why women shoot them down. Now they know.

Women, we need to make a manual and include all the pick-up lines men should NEVER use again for as long as they live! LOL!

Toodles!
