Ladies, which ONE thing should a guy tell you to impress you?

  • I still have the scars from the time I was attacked by a Komodo dragon.
  • In my spare time I’m building a rocket
  • I once swam the Rio Grande naked
  • I was once shipwrecked
  • I can drink more rum than most people can safely imagine

The Buttercup has been advising The Raven on romance. It’s a difficult process.

They had some discussion about “what’s cool”, what stories to tell an intended Ravenette. Comments from the assembled luminaries of forumosa are invited.

Rephrase No 1 to: “… when I fought off the dragon…”

And then you’ll have a good set, but only if ALL three are used. Just ONE won’t do.

Good luck.

EDIT: I wrote this when you had 1-3, you added two more which are worthless. Now I take back my advice. You’re a lost cause, sonny.

#3

Shipwreck! The other options are just dumb.

#4

I like shopping for shoes

#5

Are you sure you spoke to Buttercup, because I just don’t see any mention of shiny shoes or shoe polish in that list?

Edit: BFM wins! :laughing:

BFM, when can we go out?

Peeps, if you want to impress a lady you should be telling her how great she is, not how great you are. Geez, didn’t they teach you that in “Picking up Chicks, 101?” Elementary, my dear Raven!

#8

erhu, +1

OTOH, you could just show her your foot-long sub. depends on what she’s impressed by, doesn’t it?

#9

This is for the lull in the conversation where she says “enough about me, tell me about you.”

#10

Squawk! What happened to The Raven’s other 2 options?

Oh well, please supply two alternatives of your own to help a poor bird get laid.

#11

You repeat the last words of what she says. Hum and agree a lot.

She will mistakenly consider you are great conversation partner, as she’s in fact talking to herself.

When she wants to hear about you, offer her a few small things, and then get back to talking about her.

You are assuming your conversation partner is a bit slow on the uptake, there…

:frowning: Raven uses me to practise on for real girls.

what’s up, buttercup? aren’t you a real girl too? my illusions are dashed, cruelly, on the rocks of reality.

erm how about: -
I’ve been married for twenty years, never been out of work, cheated on my wife or broken the law. I helped raise 4 fine children all of whom are now independent and none of whom have ever tried crack.

I reckon that would impress most girls.

Maybe, yes, however if you wanted to take her to bed, it would most likely be a show stopper.

Tables do too.

You’d be surprised if you know how gullible people are.

I once told about this trick to a very smart Taiwanese girl, who then told me that she would never fall for it.

From that momeny on and for the next 20 minutes I used it on her, without her not even noticing.

Not a one of those things wouldn’t make me think the guy was a bore.

Well, take out the broken the law part and I’m impressed.
