freaks me
Quote by Dancing_Doll
I think it's just a common yet unoriginal ice-breaker question - often used in bars/clubs as well. It's right up there on the cringe-scale as "so, are you having fun tonight?"
Pretty uninspired way to start a convo, but probably still better than some super cheesey pick-up line.

What has been the best or most effective ice-breaker that has been used on you? If you catch a guy's eye at a club should he coome over and introduce himself? Should he say something about how he noticed you and wanted to say hi? Offer to buy you a drink? What works best? I mean, besides the standard real life and Lush line, "You have great tits, wanna fuck?"

I agree with Xuani - it's just easier to introduce yourself or try to come up with something original yet specific enough that it's not some catch-all fishing hook where the girl is put on the spot to be instantly entertaining in her response. Something lightly funny or sarcastic usually works for me - but if not, just a normal introduction is fine.
Also - guys should pick the right moment to make their move. One of my pet peeves is when I'm dancing and a guy leans in and starts to shout over the music "so - are you having fun tonight?". I swear this must be the standard operating line... lol. Generally it should be obvious that if I'm dancing and really into the music that yes, I'm having fun, and unless I've given the telltale "signal" that I want you to approach, it's better to just let me dance. It's impossible to have any real convo over the music and screaming "what?" over and over again and trying to have inane chitchat while still moving on a crowded dancefloor is really annoying.
If you've gotten the signal of interest before you even pitch your best lines, it means we're already attracted to you. Generally speaking, even if you're not particularly clever or original, you're going to get our number. In a lot of ways I think guys sometimes put too much emphasis on their opening statement - it's only important if you're the kind of guy that needs to sell yourself to spark some interest. If it's already there - it's generally smooth sailing because we're pretty forgiving when our panties are wet before we even exchange formal 'hello's'.

For the record, I wasn't asking for me. I was asking for my cousin. No, my brother. Yea, that's the ticket. Asking for my brother. I don't have any problems picking up the hot chicks in the the dance club. My Wrangler jeans, cowboy boots, cowboy hat, and long sleeve Wrangler snap-front shirt usually works. Especially when I leave the top 3 buttons undone showing off my big gold chain. And to top it off, when I flash the Lincolns that's all she wrote. I have to fight 'em off the the bullwhip attached to my rodeo belt.

It is always an awkward question for me for some reason. I don't know whether to answer seriously or silly.
Why are you asking?
What does it matter?
Because I f___ing want to and now am getting pissed off because your f___ing question just set me off again!!!
Thank you giaana99. kisses

GUILTY!!!!!!!
I ask this question..... and the answers are varied...... not so much the what.... but the Why

Hey, Gianna99....do you come here a lot?
"What brings you here" is indeed better than a canned, corny pick-up line, but it's worse than other generic greetings in my opinion. For one thing, it's so weirdly formal, as if it's an interview, and I'm now expected to provide some amusing, cute anecdote about the exciting turn of events that eventually led me to a barstool at Nobu.
It's a crappy question; just ask me my name and smile. Don't make it harder than it is.

LOL. My brain clearly isn't working correctly.
Only now do I realize that you were talking about people using that line on other users here at Lush. I thought it was a real-life 'at the club' ( and very valid) complaint.
So to now answer the question that you intended- if it's somebody nice and interesting, and we've already had some back-and-forth when he pops that question out, I'll literally tell him how I found Lush and why I like it so much. If it's some faceless skeezer just fishing for cyber hookups, then my reply is likely to be slightly more facetious because, yes, one can't get much less original than that, while also putting us on the spot to be entertaining and forthcoming.

What many of them really want to hear is that we're here because we're horny.
