This really happened. One nice evening at Rhiz, two quite handsome boys come up to us, one of them asking us exactly this question. We knew they were looking for a conversation so we immediately gave them our fuck-off-faces – the usual test that any guy that attempts the spontaneous pick-up should endure. Call it a filtering system. After all, how dare they disturb our enthusiastic rant about work that keeps us from noticing anyone else around us.
But this sentence does catch our attention. With all thoughts about work forgotten, my head tries to make some sense of it:
“What did he just say?” … “Did he really …?” … “Chest hair?” … “Mmm, chest hair” … “Interesting” … “I like chest hair.”
He then tries to open the top button of his friend’s shirt– the anticipation on our side peaking – until his offended friend pushes his hand away in disgust. Well. How unsatisfying. No chest hair for us. But, no time is given to disappointment as we are already smack bang in the middle of a good conversation.
I have to say, this is one of the best pick-up lines I’ve heard in a while. It was enjoyable, original, witty, honest, caused suspense and it displayed a special kind of bravery that will cross a line to catch a girl’s attention. I’m really not an easy person to approach, but I do like a little challenge and persistence – but! – ONLY if it is appealing in its originality and NOT when I have already told you five times to pack up your balls (translates: eier) and go home.
Moral of the story? This girl likes chest hair and a guy who’s not afraid to cross the line.
