The women I have in my life who know about the website have had great opportunities to dish out a black cards to people even before they have even been printed. As for the stories I get before they are printed, it would be a shame to not write about them and help teach the men of this world. Here’s a recent pick up that was a complete failure. I find it to be quite amusing from the thought of, “What were they thinking?”

Short, beautiful and always wearing a smile, our girl hops in the elevator with another fellow who she described as, “creepy.” The two are the only ones on the elevator as they go up. Here’s the conversation:

Fellow: “Do you work for secret service?”

Lady: “What?”

Fellow: “Oh because you look like one, well built in civilian clothing.”

Lady: “What?”

End of Elevator ride for the lady.

Awesome! Let’s dive into where the fail began. If you are the type that does not care about their appearance, and actually get described as creepy, you have a lot to work on. That’s an entire new topic. Here’s the advice I will give. You’re in an elevator with a girl. You’re in a spot that’s in movies for being an awesome spot to make out behind the walls of society. You’re also in the same place the people get murdered in the movies. Girls will have one or the other as a thought the moment they see you. Think about it. I’d rather be the make out session thought. It’s not that hard to get there. Here’s one that I have tried.

The first thing to remember is to start the conversation the moment they enter the elevator. You already have an in. A gentleman will push the elevator floor for them by simply asking “What floor?” Not that hard. Two words are very simple to use. If you’re fearful of breaking the ice, try to do it every day you ride in one. It’ll make it a breeze. Here is where I take it after the question is delved out to the lady.

Lady: “Floor fifteen.”

GwR: “As you wish.” (With a smile.)

(Pause of silence)

GwR: “Have you not seen ‘The Princess Bride?’”

Lady Reply One: “Yes I have!” (You should know where to go from here.)

Lady Reply Two: “Nope”

GwR: “I don’t know if we can be elevator friends anymore. I get this one, you can have the other four. I’m not greedy.”

Let me know what your elevator ride is like. I’d love to hear some other classic approaches.
