God, I never was good at giving a lady a pick-up line. No matter how many times I'd rehearse it in my head, I knew it would sound stupid even if I were jokingly trying to say it. The good news is, now that I got some pretty wild hair... almost shoulder length, reddish brown and black and pretty frizzy... that gets attention.
Good attention -- it's a conversation starter. Granted, I've heard, "Hey, you look like that guy from American Idol" more than I'd like to admit, but it's a start. If we chat about stuff for a bit, I'll offer her a beer, and see where it goes from there. I guess the plus side is that, when I'm out, I'm not usually stalking women to take home to bed. So even if we just chat and exchange phone numbers, that makes me feel plenty good.
Of course... I remember this middle-aged woman who had way too much whiskey just plant her hand in my hair and start playing with it. Really. I'm trying to order a pitcher and the next thing I know, she got her finger caught in a tangle and yanked me.
Not to say I've got a thing against older women -- hell, I had a rather attractive one do the same thing at a downtown Irish pub and I was plenty satisfied -- but geez... there are limits, y'know...
