Online pick up lines?

Post Reply New Topic

My latest interest is analyzing profiles on Oasis and trying to determine which type of thinking they employ. Are they visual, auditory or kinesthetic thinkers? I've noticed most of them are visual thinkers. Why is this? Are most people visual thinkers? Are most women visual thinkers? Or is it a bias on my part even though I don't consider myself to be a visual thinker.

Anyway, the idea of the exercise is to use pick up lines that appeal to their mode of thinking. I don't usually use metaphors at all so it's really hard for me. I need some suggestions on pick up lines that employ visual, auditory or kinesthetic language. Some women are difficult to analyze so pick up lines that use a combination of two at once or all three at the same time would be useful.

Any ideas?

Hey RetroGamer87,

Is that a mirror in your pants? Because I can see myself in em'!

Whoa! You're really going down the psychology line. Please note that people are fluid in their conscious use of vak (sensory representation modes) and subconsciously, all three are present - they have to be. In a therapy situation, one is often encouraged to match the representation mode to start with, and not mismatch. It depends on the situation.

I find the majority of SEN children I work with are kinesthetic learners. When I switch modes and activities, they tend to enjoy them more.

Writing styles can be a clue. Sentence structure, lots of ! and lol and what have you. However, not everyone writes like they talk.

Back on topic. I love metaphors and figurative language - I think it irritates most aspies.

visual - I can see that...it's clear to me that...
auditory - It sounds like...how does calling you next Friday afternoon sound? What you said rings true with me...
kinesthetic - I get the feeling that you are...sort of person. You're in touch with...I have a feeling that we could connect - let's go down to that place x and grab a bite to eat

Just examples. Think of what you want to say and change - be creative. But, I'm sorry, if you think this is a magic bullet, you're going to be disappointed.

Funny.

I'm not sure if they'll respond well to something that suggestive though.

Your dad must be a baker because you have a nice set of buns.

Chat up lines are pants anyway, as Geek is now proving...

Okay - sigh -

Is that a ladder in your stockings or a stairway to heaven?

Pick-up lines make me laugh, but I would hopefully never succumb to the advances of a guy lame enough to actually use one!

Edit: oh dear. I'm becoming Americanised. I said "lame" instead of "pathetic," and "guy" instead of "man."

how about dont think about too much and just do it?

putty in my paws....mehehehehe

My girlfriend liked this one:

"You must be the Higgs Boson of my life........Because without you, my universe won't "Matter"

If you know the girl, pick up lines can be funny. Wouldn't use them to actually "pick up" girls though.

Maybe I shouldn't have said pick up lines. I didn't mean it in the sense of some kind of pun that wouldn't work if you were in a bar. I simply meant an introduction to put in a contact request (note: another tactic I've successfully used is to ask a question). On this particular dating site, a few months ago they removed the ability to send custom contact requests from about 99% of the members and made them choose from a short list of very generic sounding intros. Since I'm one of the 1% who retains the ability to send custom contact requests I'm keen to capitalize on this to stand out from the crowd. I just want a metaphorical way of saying "let's chat" (although that alone might be good enough for auditory thinkers).



Could you give some insight into this? So far all I've got is what sort of metaphors she uses, what sort of hobbies she has, how much effort she puts into her appearance and how good her photos are. I haven't looked into writing style and sentence structure or is that just more stuff about metaphors?



Yeah, I know, I have a pretty dry writing style.



That's what I was getting at! Now how do I say "let's chat" using those metaphors or all three at once? This is a bit hard for me. I'm used to thinking literally.



Yeah I already knew that but it gives me something fun to do for a while and it might improve my odds by 1%. Anyway, I needed a new book to read or is Richard Bandler a quack?

I already paraphrased my profile to use visual language because visual thinkers make up the majority of women but I think visual thinkers might be the hardest to communicate with.

Hard to explain. I sometimes get a good feel for writing, it's years of marking it and matching it to the personality. I can usually tell male writing from female, given a topic which encourages expression and empathy - ok the handwriting can be a clue, and there are a lot of other factors. However, this is a generalisation (that magic word again!)

If you posted something I could have a go at, now, that would be easier. Put up a profile here - obviously delete important info.





Can't really explain it that way. If I want to speak French fluently, I want to think in French. Tell you what, list the vak words (verbs, nouns), then start coming up with phrases for them. Before long, you'll start thinking more that way. Then, you'll think on your feet more - that's the goal, not just simple translation. All three styles at once can be overload - what's your favourite flavour of screaming red dog ice cream. Dwell on that sensory explosion and see what happens.



Cool, I like that attitude. Richard Bandler is far from a quack *cough - FrogsIntoPrinces - cough*



I've read conflicting information regarding what vak makes up most percentages. I think it's kino first, than visual, then auditory. You got something you can post on that?

This is just based on my own observations. I'm not sure how accurate they are. Most of them say what they're "looking" for but that may be the only sensible way they can say that. I also take their photos into consideration. If they either put little effort into their appearance, have blank expressions or use poor photographic techniques I tend to lump them into auditory and kinesthetic categories.

On the other hand many of the women have artistic hobbies, have creative photographs, apply makeup but not with a trowel and some of them even seem a bit over self-conscious. E.g. I saw one that said she was fat when she clearly wasn't.

Then again some women give me know clues because they use no metaphores at all. I remember one such profile. dry language, pretty but with a very blank expression. I suspect she's an aspie. The last time I dated an aspie things didn't work out all that well. Having two of us in a date could just be too much.

I think there's a danger to read into things that might not be there - that applies for everyone. The one who you think is an aspie - well, maybe, maybe not. Maybe she just threw up something boring because she knew men would contact her regardless, and she didn't want to appear like she was putting too much effort into it. Who knows.

Rubbish photos do not equate to auditory and kinaestetic - no way. It's just not that simple.

Yep.




I find it strangely tantalizing, actually.

Okay, here's one I found that doesn't have any obvious metaphors
