SR XLV: You can't tuna fish lolololololololololol

I don't hate Haken, I just am unfamiliar with their work (aside form a song or two I heard on LR, and it sounded meandering)

I like Haken.

Haken may refer to:

• Wolfgang Haken, mathematician who helped prove the four color theorem and made notable contributions to low-dimensional topology
• Haken manifold, a type of 3-manifold named after Wolfgang Haken
• Rianne ten Haken, Dutch model
• Haken Audio, maker of the Continuum instrument
• Haken, an English Progressive metal band.
• Hermann Haken, a physicist best known for his contributions to laser theory and Synergetics
• Shiluach haken, a mitzvah in the Torah

So I keep reading things about like "if you see a pretty girl somewhere, just go up to her and start talking"; does this not seem like an awful idea or something? It sounds really stupid/ weird to me.

Talking to strangers doesn't seem so weird, I guess it depends on how you come off.

That is why there are so many stupid pick-up lines.  A way to break the ice and start up a conversation.  It is a gift or dare I say "talent" to be good at doing it.  It takes a salesman mentality to be able to be rejected 99 times in order to succeed that 1 time.

That is why "Do you come here often?" "Do I know you from somewhere?" and "Did it hurt falling from heaven?" are spoken a hundred times a day in each pick-up joint in the world. 

I don't think I could ever use a pick-up line like that, ever. It's not really "me". The "I like your face" line sounds way more like something I would actually say. I'd also say "I'm very nervous and trying to overcome a fear of talking to people. Please don't run away."

I think that it is a pick-up line that might only work in the movies or on a very drunk very horny girl.
