The Christmas Pick-up
You have your list, you’ve checked your budget twice.Now you’re at the mall, alone, and have the job of a lifetime ahead of you: selecting gifts while picking up women. In a nutshell you’ll be looking for single women shoppers that catch you’re interest and like any good plan you have to have a pick-up line, or two, that will be your introduction and segue into treating her for a coffee date for her helping you.
Your pick-up lines:
1) “Hi, can you help me? I’m looking for a gift for my sister’s boyfriend. Gifts have to be under $20.00 and I think he’s into collecting socks to wear to work. And my name is Robert, what’s yours?”
2) “Hello, your holiday shopping is seems like it’s in order, can you spare and idea or two? My great aunt is joining us this year for Christmas and I want to get her a gift but i can’t think what does someone in their 90′s need? I’ really appreciate a couple of ideas if you can help me out. My name’s Robert, what is your name?”
3) “Wow, look at all these toys, I haven’t heard of most of them. Can you spare an idea or two to help me find a fun gift for my 6 year old nephew. By the way, my name’s Robert, what’s yours?”
The lines above contain all of the needed structure that will give you a very good “in” for the beginning of not only introducing yourself to a prospect but also describing in just enough detail a request for help that makes it seem to not be a cheesy pick-up line but a sincere plea for help from a nice guy that is genuinely out of his comfort zone: shopping for gifts.
Of course you’ll need to customize the lines and add a few ones to better match your gift buying list, the “recipients” and for your personality but that shouldn’t be too difficult.
Keep the cost of the items low, $20.00 or so, again depending on your budget and needed gifts. The single women will be looking for something for a friends or family members children, so think toys, puzzles and games, those departments and stores ofer the best opportunities as well as being helpful to separate the single women from the others.
After you’ve been helped by her ask her if you can by her a coffee, now or later. And get her phone number or email address so you can set something up for another time.
If you do successfully get a date be sure to buy the gift, even if your recipient is imaginary and give the toy to a local children’s Christmas toy drive in your community. Create for yourself some good karma. This way you can reveal the lie to her, if it ever comes up, that you did indeed use a pick-up line on her and at the very least one child this Christmas will open a gift that you are both responsible for, sweet isn’t it?
I’ve done my part, now it’s all up to you brother.
Good luck,
Robert

I Met Her Last Night: Dating Profile Headline of the Day
“I met her last night and…” (And she rejected me.)
I could be wrong but one of the tragedies of life, love and dating is the ability for men (almost all men) and women (at a far lower percentage of success) to successfully break the ice and impress the person you want to impress when you first meet them.
Gone not only is the art of conversation from our collective memory but also the opening line library that for decades (at least) men relied on to use as icebreakers so they could introduce themselves to the women that have attracted them.
The Internet, in all its power and glory, has reduced opening lines not only too much unwanted scrutiny by women but has also, in its limitless search for humor subjects, turned most pickup lines into jokes, either with the use of humorous images or by outright re-editing and in the process destroyed the false sense of confidence many men had by relying on these same pickup lines.
This being the case a new form of “the pickup” has been written and seems to be rather successful (men click here) women please just wait for the men to surprise you, ok, or the whole program falls to uselessness again.
Now that pickup lines, and their replacement, has been discussed, let’s move on to the task at hand, today’s personal ad profile headline suggestion to use with your online dating profile. Today post this:
“I can make Sunday football exciting for you!”
Have a great day!
Opportunities and Obstacles: Dating Profile Headline of the Day

Out the door, into real life.
I am buried under snow. Much less than the east saw last week, but still enough to reach my knees in places and require an hour or two of shoveling my rather short and thin driveway. Dammit.
Life does offer it’s challenges. I guess I’m lucky that shoveling is mine, for the time being. After all it is Monday and I’m sure something more will happen, like another dump of snow while I’m at work (thanks weatherman!).
Despite it all I can admit to not being second many times in my life, right Steelers fans?
Sorry, it’s not really in my nature to show my sarcastic side to people not in front of my face, or behind me.
As I was saying, the weather hasn’t been all that kind to any of us lately, and I do mean the world population. It’s hard to pick any time zone (and geographic area) that hasn’t had a flood, fire or blizzard to bring chaos and harm upon it within recent memory.
And yet using “How about this weather?” still ranks as a top ten worst pickup line. (I think the rankings need to be updated.)
Life brings to us opportunities and some of these opportunities are disguised as obstacles. It’s your decision what will stand in your way and what you will get through.
For today’s dating profile headline I offer you this suggestion:
“I have never raced towards second place.”
Have a great day!

How Tra Telligman Gets a Date
Tracy “Trauma” TelligmanThis muscle-bound knuckle breaker needs very little introduction to the MMA crowd but needs help when getting women that don’t follow his bouts (2 in the last 5 years) in the UFC and MMA circuits to date him, so I’ve heard.
If I were him I’d forget the tough guy routine and come across as the ‘wounded man’ like so many successful but misunderstood stars do.
He meets a woman, makes a connection on an emotional level, perhaps by talking about what he wants in his future (the past is usually a hot button topic) and that want includes an understanding woman.
She falls for the wounded bird imagery and he gets lucky.
