Beware Of The Ben

[denny]

duranorak got propositioned by a guy while we were out together this weekend. She seems mildly offended that when she turned him down, he went and found someone else to grope in a corner instead, rather than carrying on the conversation he'd struck up with her prior to the crucial "Fancy coming back to my place later?"

I'm intrigued by all this... personally, I'm always quite complimented when people hit on me... and unless we were at a fetish club, I'd expect it to be done in much the way this was (i.e. express some vague interest in the person you're chatting up, then pop the question at them) rather than just starting out with "So, fancy a shag?", which seems to be what duranorak would have preferred - it would be more honest, apparently. If not particularly socially acceptable, I'm thinking.

So, where was I going with this? Oh yes... question: if being approached as a potential shag in a pub or club, would you prefer the 'Hi, how are you/do you come here often/what's your sign/etc?' approach, or the 'Hi, wanna fuck?' approach?

Oh, my record with pickups is one hundred and twenty seconds from meeting to shag. My first visit to Slimelight:

Presentable young man: "Hello!"
Me: "Hi. Nice tits!" (He was wearing a bra with water-filled condoms.)
PYM: "Why, thank you!"
*kiss*
PYM: "Would you like to find a cubicle upstairs?"
Me: "Sounds good to me!"

That was being picked up rather than picking up, but certainly counts as my most successful use of verbal appreciation of a bodily part.
