What woman want!

Some of you might infer my age to be in the late forties, while same might blame it on my blissful ignorance, but fact remains that only recently was I introduced to this thingie called orkut. And Boy! its a bizare world out there. Post a smart pic (need not necessarily be you), put some witty remarks, browse through to a cute gal's page, write a "scrap" and bingo you get to have coffee with her. Ya right! you might think! Was amazing to read some of the "pick-up" lines used by guys.

The fairly naive ones have the standard "Hi, would like to be your friend, I love making friends". I am sure the success rate on this one would be as good as allowing a chimp to randomly punch keys on a key board and expect a line out of Shakespeare’s.

The smarter ones (at least they believe so) graduate to the next level. A friend of mine received this one from a budding Wordsworth who tried his luck with some poetry. How about this for a pick up line:

I wouldn't know you on the street,
and doesn't that seem strange?
You hold a place within my life,unusual and unique;
We share ideals and special dreams,
and still, we do not speak.
I picture what I think you are,
perhaps you picture me.
An intriguing game for both of us
for someone we can't see.
So for this friendship we possess,
we owe this mail a debt,
Perhaps the charm lies in the fact
that we have never met.

I am sure gals that read these wonder if these guys are plain stupid or just suffer from an over dose of testosterone. Whatever it is..fact remains that "we" have been trying for ages to get the gal's attention and been failing miserably. We have tried it all...the traditional whistle, a sine wave whistle with a high note and a low note, the innocent smirk, honking when behind the wheels, circles with a cigarette smoke and quite recently graduated to a fancy sky-writer. Nothing has worked! Is there any thing left untested yet effective? I tell you..we have run out of ideas!
