One time at band camp ....

I'd heard there was a pun thread...

Foo.

Sometimes I like telling a story. Like about when I was making out with this guy on his couch and he whispered "let's take this upstairs" but my end was super heavy.

I very casually and calmly say 'Make words with Grog!'

"What are you in for?"

I usually start conversations with a compliment. I didn't realize I did that until you asked

I knew a creepy 50ish guy with long tangled, thinning hair who looked 32 months pregnant who'd say, "I was admiring your breasts and wanted to go down on you" I saw him him doing his schlitck and yeah he got laid after disgusting about 10 women. I was surprised nobody slapped him or threw a drink in his face, honesty is the best policy.

Personally just watching them wt creepiness then a comment about a possible mutual interest has had some success.

Carrying a Sam Harris book in Utah is a seductive bewitchment, two women have commented on the book. The first is too young, but I'm going on a 3rd date with the other this weekend. That could be their utter desperation to find a human with no ties to LDS, chicks dig literacy.

How the f&$k did a misogynistic, lying and moronic asshole like Trump take the presidency?

I saw this girl carrying a guitar at my college reunion. She looked sort of cute, and I wanted to talk to her. Here is my opener:

"Hi, I'm with the Guitar Inspection Bureau and I need to verify you can actually play that thing, and you aren't just carrying it as a prop."

(She did play me the most beautiful of songs, that she wrote herself. So there's that.)

Spontaneously

Just ask a question, they have to answer it ?

Depends on the situation, usually I make a joke at my own expense, get a laugh, and then proceed, but it varies greatly

Hi, How are you today?

SOOOO what's your best pun, or is copyright protected?

With great effort and discomfort on my face I proceed to step all over societal norms governing etiquette and personal boundaries. I usually say something like “F@ck Trump and Clinton” or “F@ck Christianity “ or “what is your opinion of hierarchical polyamory?” or “did you know that entropy is the mathematical negative of information?”

Then I withdraw into my smart phone and check out what people are talking about on agnostic.com

Ha i just say hi whats up how are ya

I tell myself whatever myself want to hear.

ok, I am not lying. Here is my all time best line ...

"Is it any more fun over here than it is over there?"

68% of the time it is 100% effective.

I'm an introvert, I don't believe in starting conversations, I let them pun me first.

I just wing it.

If I'm meeting someone online I check their profile first then come up with a clever joke. Even if they don't respond it gives me a chuckle and is worth it.

I love your Grindr profile!

I just try to say something fun. The other person already knows if they want to talk to you or not. Just find out and be ok with either result. If they don't want to talk, is their issue. Just talk and don't say something uncomfortable.

Hi, Lorence, and welcome to the website,

Many people don't like puns, but I suppose somebody does!

By the way, this website has a bit of a learning curve so here is some information that might be helpful for dating here.

New members are encouraged to earn website points, and help other members get to know them better, by writing an informational profile that includes their hobbies and interests, and answering all the profile questions, since that's the first place many people look when they see a new member.

The website uses profile algorithms to find member matches, so the more details one includes, the better the match.

Also many women prefer to see a written profile talking about interests, hobbies, and backgrounds that can be quickly perused to find compatible partners.

People make comments and write their own posts to earn more points and privileges; for instance, at level two someone can private email people. There are different perks with each level, and when you reach level eight you get an agnostic T-shirt.

To find members near you, click on the "Meet" button at the top of the page, then on "Members," and enter your preferred search parameters.
Or click on the "About" button at the top of the page to find links to FAQ or the website tutorial.
Click on the 'Meet" button to find member matches

Levels are mostly a way to help identify and reward those who contribute to the growth of the community. The website also gives more access and benefits depending on level.[agnostic.com]
