What to say (or IM) to the opposite sex to make them want to talk

I am befuddled.

I often don't know what to say to the opposite sex when I don't know them. Sometimes, when I'm intoxicated -I just go up to them yammering and it usually works out just fine. I mean -believe it or not I'm an extravert and once I get going I don't have any serious conversation stoppers... It's just what to say FIRST.

So I was on some un-namable dating website last week. I was looking at a picture of some attractive woman in my area. I couldn't figure out what to write to her. I hate it when guys act all stupid and say things like "Hey Babe"; I wanted to appear smart, witty. I was perplexed.

My roommate stopped by and looked over my shoulder and said "Whoa, who is that?"

To make a long story short; while I was perplexing... he went and wrote something like this:
Quote:
Subject: Your hot pics,

i'm interested in you.

You should respond, we can chat a little. I'll send u a pic if u do, you wont be disappointed i promise,,

lol,

Rich

AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

She wrote him back. He didn't have any pictures up. My "nice guy" approach fell completely flat -no response.

Here's my email

So you live in Lowell, -I've heard of it.


No actually I go there at least once a weekend. I tend not to drink very much (for dieting's sake) but I have spent time at the Lowell Brewery and the smaller clubs in the downtown area. My favorite there is the Evos Arts center (for whatever reason -perhaps it's the jukebox and the food delivered from Capo's -next door.


Do you ever go out in Lowell and if so where?

You may write me here or at my email address Deleted

I'm looking forward to hearing from you,

Eric
So what's the deal with women??? Do they prefer the brainless sort of come on and brazen showboating???

Should I become a Rich so that I can meet women?
