Everyone's got their own approach, and given the recent poll on singledom within the JM community I thought we should swap notes.

The GJC Guide!

1. Pretend to be an astronaut - funnier and less expected than pretendin to be a fireman, and leads to lots of cheesy lines about journeys to the moon or the heavens - one of my mates pretends he's a north sea oil rig technician though, never quite worked out why.

2. When talking to a group of women and u quite fancy pullin one - try to remember when you're talking to make sure you make eye contact with every other girl in the group, but not the one you fancy.

And that's the extent of my wisdom! Pretty rubbish actually - still, gentlemen, ladies, let's spread the knowledge! Cos let's face it, the amount of single Joinees NEEDS to be remedied.

i'm a surgeon, i dont need to make a career up.
and you should ALWAYS make eye contact with the person you fancy!

you must be single dude, you have to be!

[Joinee BTA Jim]

Perhaps the Joinee Dating thing on the main site should be linked properly.

[PJ Hannah B-R]

I find whacking them out helps.

I have no idea how I pulled my current boyfriend.

I found that used to help when I was single.* :-D





*Although not in public, obviously.

[Gold Joinee Cooke]

The eye contact thing is just at the beginning, tried it for the first time last night and was pretty chuffed with the results, this controversial theory does need more testing tho - and I'm recently single yeh, u got me.

Just get drunk.

[Gold Joinee Mhairi]

ah, getting drunk...

[Gold Joinee Cooke]

Well this isn't the deep scientific level I expected.

But yeh, gettin drunk is definitely the best one so far.

Ha ha...


Me, Tommy and Tor had this conversation last night where one of Tommy's friends had said that sleeping with a girl after you'd got her drunk was basically rape.

Me and Tor were like "but we get drunk with the intention of sleeping with you...that's WHY we get drunk"

Men. Get us drunk. We've normally made our minds up before we started anyway.

[Joinee BTA Jim]

It's a shame that this seems to be the big thing with Joinees. I do remember someone on here trying to get opinions on doing a Meet where a Pub wouldn't come in to it. I presume for her religious beliefs but maybe she had young kids. Nobody seemed interested. It was in London so I couldn't really get involved.

[7. Rem]

getting drunk has never worked for me.

[FJN]

To quote Men Behaving Badly...

Women want compliments, a sense of humour and a man who can look after them.

Ie: Ello gorgeous t*ts, I've got a shooter in me pocket, how many prostitutes does it take to change a lightbulb?

[Stephy]

I say this everytime: The way to pull, is to make someone laugh....a lot!
works with me anyway!
:wink:

[PJ Hannah B-R]

Pardon? It's a light hearted thread about pulling. It is bound to involve drunkeness.

It bears no relation to meets taking place in pubs.

[Gold Joinee Mhairi]

laughing works for me as well. as long as i'm not laughing *at* them.

i'm off to feel really guilty about enjoying having a drink with my friends :roll: :roll: :roll:

[Joinee BTA Jim]

There are several posts basically state drinking copious amounts of alcohol is the best way to pull. I have every right to make my response.

[PJ Hannah B-R]

That's not what i said. I questioned your decision to include comments about where meets took place.

It seemed very irrelevant.

[Gold Joinee Cooke]

Someone must have some decent chat up lines! The astronaut one is GOLD!

I dunno what it is but I've had it offered to me by a drunk person in the past and I've turned it down, it just doesn't feel right.

I don't think it is. This is the Joinee site and they all go to Meets from time to time. It just seems a shame that this movement always has to evolve around booze when a Joinee couldn't attend a meet for that reason.

So basically, to get to know someone you like:

[list]Avoid them
Don't look at them
Don't talk to them
Find out very little about them[list]
I would have thought that if you fancied someone you should try and find out whether you actually get along with one another ... just me and my crazy ideas no doubt :roll: :wink:

[Gold Joinee Mhairi]

there was a meet in glasgow recently for people with kids and people who don't drink.

and also, there are plently of joinees who don't drink and they still come to meets and have a brilliant time.

[7. Rem]

it doesnt have to, but gereally the british public socialise in pubs. the main part of a join mett usually takes place all over the location. then after a hard days raoking a sizeable amount of us relocate to the pub. to hang out. with friends.

maybe we should sit in a park untill the early hours drinking warm water and lemon?

[Joinee BTA Jim]

I got quite popular with chicks when I used to DJ, play with a band on stage or do Karaoke quite well. My singledom is there for a reason but pick someone you like, approach them and think of something sensible and relevant to say.

[PJ Hannah B-R]

And i STILL don't see how it has anything to do with chat up lines.

That's quite possibly the dumbest response imaginable.

Read between the lines.

[Gold Joinee Cooke]

The eye contact thing works!

well it did last night.

You don't just ignore her all night, the chances of that working (I think) are pretty slim.

Just while you're talking to a group of girls (and ONLY in this situation) for the first part of the conversation look at everyone else and not her - think the idea behind this is that it makes her want a bit more attention, so when you actually start talking to her one on one your starting from a position where she'll be more interested in talking to ya.

My favourite chat up line that I use is a scene taken from the film silence of the lambs. Done in the voice style of buffalo bill I would go up to a lady of my choice in a club or bar and say the following:

It rubs the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again... It places the lotion in the basket.
Put the f***ing lotion in the basket!!!

Works every time.

[Stephy]

That's cos you're a gentleman Goldy!

I've been there goldy, girls that are really drunk (for a start aren't that attractive) but it does feel a bit wrong.

Keep reading it and then run to the nearest pound shop and the answer will become apparent.

[Rubidium Joinee Tigger]

Worst chat-up line that was ever used on me went as follows:

"I'm just in the middle of chatting up *name deleted* here, but hang about, if I don't have any luck with her I was thinking of chatting you up"

:shock:

And on the alcohol/pub/drunkenness theme, I would *love* for there to be more late night cafes about, or just generally other places you could go and hang out with buddies over a relaxing beverage (which may or may not be alcoholic) but as it is, they are rather few and far between. I'm an avid pub goer and have been a non-drinker pretty much all my life - not because I like alcohol, but because I like socialising. Maybe there *is* a middle ground between pub & hanging out in someone's living room, but I just don't know what it is.... :roll: Any ideas anyone?

OK, it's been a long time since I've been to a Meet or the Cock ... but I have in the past been to both the Cock and Meets regularly.

They often do involve people drinking and drunkeness, however:


[list]* I don't drink

* I wasn't made feel as if I should drink or that I should by others drinks

* Everyone was still decent and well-behaved (well, mostly)

* Only one or two people were ever very drunk

* Most importantly, I always enjoyed myself[list]


Perhaps the issue is that people assume it will always be a piss-up and those of you wanting to remain sober don't fancy coming along.

[Stephy]

I think a genuinely nice bloke would be able to tell if a girl was tipsey/happy and up for it or if they were off their faces don't know what they are doing!

And vice/versa :wink:

I'm glad to see that I don't even have to be around someone these days to endear myself to their heart. Or alternatively, you've fallen out with someone you don't even know.

Don't get me wrong I had the beer goggles well and truely on, and had been sucking face with her most of the evening it's just that when she asked me back I just thought "Woah there sparky" and politely declined.

[PJ Hannah B-R]

No. You tried to fall out with me. I was confused. When I asked you to explain you decided to make some cryptic comment about pound shops instead of just saying what you meant.


That makes you slightly strange in my eyes.


If you have an issue then express it eloquently, don't just make cryptic comments.

[Joinee BTA Jim]

You're strange. Looked you up on the photo sites......

Right.

You clearly have an issue with me.

If you would like to discuss it like an adult then pm me. If not then take your antagonism elsewhere. I don't do arguments.

Right. Well that's cleared up.

Where were we?


I used to always use the "can I have a cigarette" option...only bonus to smoking...
