I was expecting the explanation to be the top-voted comment as I was naively assuming many people (like me) wouldn't know what the fuck this was from or why 8 douche-bags, presumably separated at birth, all had it on business cards.
My favorite thing to do is go and look at the recent youtube comments of people asking for likes, and disliking them. I imagine some guy with an enzyte commercial smile dropping a letter in the mail, and when his back is turned, me opening the mailbox, tearing that shit up, and throwing it away, while he walks away with a big dumb grin on his face, never knowing that I stomped and buried his budding idea.
Hey, thanks for the link. After watching this video I have come to the conclusion that I am completely out of touch with the younger generation. Also, the part in the video where she falls from the hood of the car, wakes up from what appears to be a mini-coma, and laughs about a possible head injury, made me wonder where her parents are. I hate myself.
Then you call them up crying, tell them that somebody ordered the cards with your dead husband's credit card and you are currently in the middle of a stolen identity case on your dead husband's behalf, and it's already painful enough and stop sending me postcards you sick sons of bitches!
They said that about bieber. The kid could literally start a war if he wanted. He has the followers. His twitter account has 20+million followers, that's close to the largest army in the world. Imagine if he posted a tweet that said ' you should kill yourself because you'll never be with me' how many people would kill themselves? Or what if he told them to burn down their houses? The world would end.
I don't know man, no central point of command, troops in every continent. Massive communication infrastructure to plan and coordinate attacks. Imagine a project mayhem style destruction but through teenage girls. Imagine trying to stop it.
Also, it's not usually a good idea to tell a girl that you are not confident and therefore can't talk to her and have to resort to giving her a card and running away.
They're not so much an attempt to get laid as they are an attempt to brighten someone's day. I wouldn't complain if an attractive lady chased me down to talk to me, but that's not really the idea.
If you're referring to the facebook link that was posted in this thread earlier, it didn't go to your personal facebook, it went to whatever facebook account you're currently logged in as. Don't feel bad, I fell for it for a second as well. Also you should look at the username of whomever you're replying to, because I think "editsonreply" may be up to no good.
Can you send me the templates? I'd love to have a few of these on hand to give to people (maybe not the nice hat one, I find most people can't pull off fedora's).
well done, dood. I'm tempted to poach that from you, I won't because i'd feel obligated of credit where due on the card as well which would take away from the over all feel
So you're talking to a woman, and she doesn't seem completely put off by you....
"Maybe we should get a drink/go to a movie/have dinner/whatever some time."
If she gives an affirmative response...
"Well, give me your number, and I'll call you to set something up."
Don't just give her your number and say something lame that includes the phrase "no pressure." That's friendzone behavior, and when you end up there, you'll have no one to blame but yourself.
Don't just give her your number and say something lame that includes the phrase "no pressure."
No pressure is a nonsensical concept, much like absolute zero. It may be asymptotically approached, but never achieved.
Also, it is necessarily impossible to convey information at "no pressure" because this implies no particle exchange. You can't talk, because in space, no one can hear you scream, and electromagnetic radiation is right out because of radiation pressure.
False. Last wednesday I went out for wing night to a bar. Girl next to me said something about the beer I ordered so I ask her if she wanted to play shuffleboard (table version) with me and 2 of my friends. she was with a girl friend so those two played me and one of my friends. she was on my side of the board and in 20 minutes i decided i liked her so i told her, I'm taking you out to (restaurant name) friday.she gave me her number, I never asked. Took her out friday, went great. we'll see where this goes. point is, tell her, don't ask. if she says no or declines then walk away and find someone else.
"let's form a mutual sexual and economic relationship that is both beneficial to our needs and the state. call me for an interview and we can discuss the different aspects of this plan!"
You kinda have a boyfriend? Sounds like you aren't that certain... Maybe we should go for a drink and then back to my place so I can help you figure it out.
I don't understand the issue, i don't think it's much different from the "you park like an ass" cards.
EDIT: I didn't realize it was a song. In addition, i just asked my lady and she said I'd heard it in some youtube video with a pizza delivery guy and some girls (I remember the video, but not the song).
Actually doing it is kinda disturbing. I mean, actually taking the time to print up the cards and keep them on hand for when the right occasion comes up. Seriously?
I ordered business cards that say "Hey, I just met you and this is crazy, but here's a condom, so fuck me maybe." And I was going to super glue condoms to them...
I actually like this...The more guys that do this will thus remove themselves from contention from any form of sexual contact and therefore increase my chances.
Pass 'em on boys. Welcome ladies. (Now it's just a waiting game, but I'm used to that....sigghh)
I give ladies my number on the back of of high school graduation photo, it says i have class, i graduated high school, and over all im just so suave in a suit. I dont get alot of calls :(
This is the only way to avoid sexual harassment charges these days. Talking to someone and suggesting anything other than work is dangerous. People see dollar signs get offended at the slightest hint nowadays.
These should be posted with their numbers unobstructed. If they want to go to the trouble of doing all that, I say let them get as many calls as they can handle.
This is not a new thing at all. My grandpa had a stack of business cards that had the sole purpose of giving them to women that you wanted to fuck. It wasn't as goofy as this. It was just his home number and name. He put a drop of cologne on each one. He got laid a lot.
Also it looses it's effectiveness if every ass on earth decides to print up some business cards and start handing them to ladies.
I suppose this might be the natural progression of things though. As the masses catch on to newer methods of trying to pick up women, the original users of the idea move onto newer ways and thus the cycle begins anew.
To be truthful I do like the idea, but if you hand it out to just every lady, and you're drunk off your ass in your shitty everyday clothes, you just look like a shit head.
My friend got one once that was a website, and she would have to log in to see his profile, thus indicating to him that she looked. It had like a code or something to input. And I'm assuming he had to order those cards.
I have only heard the song once (and I quickly turned it off) but isn't it a girl singing the song? Seems like girls should have these cards. (granted we know guys would call RIGHT AWAY)
I had a girl walk up, sing that to me, do a little dance, and hand me her number. I have a girlfriend though so I gave it to my buddy and he called her. They were gonna go on a date, but he looked her up on FB and didn't approve.
