Thucy, you may be a demon at the Diplomacy game, but that "pick up" line is
an absolute non starter in my opinion, you may as well ask "could God create a rock so heavy that even God couldn't lift it ?" or bore the woman to death with a dissertation on
some high end physics.
first general principle, make her laugh and make her feel safe with you
second principle, women are humans, so have all the "variability of personality,
desire(s) etc, so you have to find the "pick up line" (if it ever is that simple, which i doubt) to match the woman
third, don't assume that it is always the men who do the "picking up"
i am not going to give y'all the benefit of hard won experience beyond what i have said.
in how to get women into your beds
except, the tip on the best way to handle the "we might be pregnant" news.
you have to maintain outward expression of joyous surprise, no matter how much distress and panic you are feeling, tell her she is wonderful, beautiful and damn clever,
"tis the miracle of life" & start suggesting names for the love child in her womb.
later when you are on your own you can curse the gods if that is your genuine reaction
why adopt this strategy ??? percentages.
firstly, not all pregnancy scares are genuine pregnancies, the majority are false alarms
so go figure, if your reaction was to start to discuss how this was a casual relationship,
and you are not ready to be daddy, etc then you are screwed.
when it is reveal'd to be a false alarm, she will never forgive you for wanting to keep your freedom and not displaying total commitment to her.
and if she is pregnant & plans to keep the child, then you have created "trust" & "commitment" issues by not being totally supportive
so, be totally supportive, & when it ends up being false alarm, you are home free
& will get best head jobs you have ever had, because you showed her total support.
the same idea applies, if say you were dumb enough to let "her indoors" drive your
corvette, mustang, charger etc and she smashes it up
you have to pretend to be totally disinterest'd in smash'd up car, and only interest'd in "her indoors" personal safety, in fact you have to get her nude so you can personally check her for minor injuries.
later on you can weep for the smash'd up car
so the message you give her is, she is more important to you than that car that she thought is more important to you than anything, including possibly her
she will know she has stuffed up big time, so you don't need to tell her
( that actually gives her an out, you nagged her, you care more about the car than her,
women have a natural talent for "turning a situation around" on a bloke )
so accept your loss stoicly, make no complaint to her, use it as an opportunity to elevate her perceived value to you & once again, she will put extra effort into that special service they know we enjoy greatly
it serves you right for letting her drive the car in the first place, if she smashes it
