Pick up lines

As my friend D. and I walk by a pub, guy standing in front of the pub: "Are you girls American?"

Me/D.: "No/yes"

Guy: "Where are you from?"

Me/D.:".../Texas"

Guy: "Oh Texas! I am thinking of going to the States this summer, do you have any advice on where to go?"
Me: "That's the BEST pick up line I've heard in my entire life!"

D.:"California... San Francisco"

Guy: "Oh yeah I've been there"

Me: "Iowa is amazing!"

I know I'm a lovely person.

Globe trotting overachievers

It's like profiling a criminal, the interesting man always has at least 8/10 of the following:

1) speaks 4 languages minimum
2) takes 15 minutes minimum to answer the question 'where are you from?'
3) has traveled all over the world and intends to continue this nomadic lifestyle
4) is a complete overachiever with at least a master's degree from an Ivy League school or equivalent
5) has lived in at least 5 different countries
7) has started at least 3 businesses and/or NGOs
8) is out to see the world, save the world and make money all at the same time and before turning 35
9) his religion should be a good enough reason to think this is a bad idea
10) he lives somewhere else

.. and always has both of the following:
1) is too into his career
2) want a relationship (right now)

They're just so fascinating, these globe-trotting overachievers!

Award Nominations

And the Global Man With No Balls Award goes to the one who not only isn't able to ask a girl out, he isn't even able to say no when she asks him out! (and classically falls off the flat face of the Earth*).
