Brushfire Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 What are good things to carry or wear that lend themselves to having conversations struck up with one?
dropdeadlegs Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 A Harley Davidson shirt has always worked for me, but you have to like that type. And have more knowledge than "I've been on one." If you get past the "prop", ask questions about the person you are interested in. Many people like to talk about themselves.
Trialbyfire Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 Brushfire, are you male or female? I'm curious because each gender can have some differences in interests or what they consider eye-catching.
Brushfire Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 LOL at the title. Dunno. What's so funny about it? A Harley Davidson shirt has always worked for me, but you have to like that type. And have more knowledge than "I've been on one." Well, the only motorcycles I've used were "rice burners", not "hawgs", and it's been some years since I've done any riding, so I can't claim any expertise. Are you a Harley-Davidson enthusiast? Brushfire, are you male or female? I'm curious because each gender can have some differences in interests or what they consider eye-catching. I'm male.
Brushfire Posted March 13, 2007 Posted March 13, 2007 Dunno. What's so funny about it? Well, the only motorcycles I've used were "rice burners", not "hawgs", and it's been some years since I've done any riding, so I can't claim any expertise. Are you a Harley-Davidson enthusiast? I'm male. Just another note; I've never had anyone react to a T-shirt.
kribby Posted March 13, 2007 Posted March 13, 2007 Hmm, I used to react to t-shirts all the time... in college. How old are you? I am 27-- now I react to books (in cafe's)... but since you are a guy-- you can't be all carrying random stuff around... I get the feeling you want us to make you a list.. say... 1. a carrot 2. a bottle of water 3. a lamp 4. a baby 5. a bent playing card... I agree with the earlier poster-- you should speak to a woman about herself-- she probably has some prop.-- talk about it-- that has to be easier than carrying around your own carrot... maybe give her some polite compliment... and wait for her to smile... when she does-- slide her another compliment (about her beautiful smile) and introduce yourself.
polywog Posted March 13, 2007 Posted March 13, 2007 These would probably start a nice conversation if you carried them: -A big platter of buffalo wings with blue cheese dip -an open bottle of Moet and 2 champagne glasses -basket of golden retriever puppies -a big wad or two of $100 bills I'll think of more, this is just a start...
alphamale Posted March 13, 2007 Posted March 13, 2007 the only "props" a true player needs are his eyes and mouth...
polywog Posted March 13, 2007 Posted March 13, 2007 the only "props" a true player needs are his eyes and mouth... Well, maybe if he crossed his eyes and wore lipstick it would start an interesting conversation.

I am 27-- now I react to books (in cafe's)... but since you are a guy-- you can't be all carrying random stuff around... I'm the same age as you are. I get the feeling you want us to make you a list.. Well it need not be a list, but I'd like to know what stuff does have a reasonably high percentage chance of generating conversation. 1. a carrot 2. a bottle of water ... 5. a bent playing card... How have these worked for you? What specifically happened in your case when you had these around or on hand? I agree with the earlier poster-- you should speak to a woman about herself-- I agree with the earlier poster too, but how to talk to someone is a separate matter. The rest is stuff I already do. It's so low-percentage it's sickening, but again, that's a matter for a separate thread. the only "props" a true player needs are his eyes and mouth... Maybe that's the case, but try as I might, I can't seem to recall where I wrote anything about asking for anyone's ideas of true players.
alphamale Posted March 13, 2007 Posted March 13, 2007 Maybe that's the case, but try as I might, I can't seem to recall where I wrote anything about asking for anyone's ideas of true players. You were asking about meeting chicks right?

Well it need not be a list, but I'd like to know what stuff does have a reasonably high percentage chance of generating conversation. --Hmm... rarely do I feel inclined to speak to random strangers (cute or otherwise) but if I were compelled-- anything they had in their hands would spark a conversational idea... honestly... an ex of mine-- carried a playboy on our first date and that sparked a serious lecture. How have these worked for you? What specifically happened in your case when you had these around or on hand? * Uh... it was a joke list. Sorry I agree with the earlier poster too, but how to talk to someone is a separate matter. The rest is stuff I already do. It's so low-percentage it's sickening, but again, that's a matter for a separate thread. * Sorry, you should try online dating. At least you know they are looking for luuuuuuuve. I am actually cute and all and people speak to me all the time. It is only irritating-- I can understand why you have low percentages and all...
Brushfire Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 * Uh... it was a joke list. Sorry Can people here offer some more information on this topic that isn't a joke? Thanks very much!
