Explain this to me...

Ger_Hankey

Here's something that has been making me scratch my head for ages, and I wanted to see if you lot (espically the girls) have an opinion on it. I have been working in my job for nearly five years and every couple of months we all go out for a drink together. Now there is one bloke who works with us that always goes out on these nights out. Let me describe him to you.
He's in his mid-thirties, about 5'11' and quite overweight.
He's not good-looking (as the girls in work have informed me - think Brian Cowan with shorter hair.). Every time we go out he wears just jeans & a jumper. Wouldn't be a horrible dresser but nothing special either.
He lives in the Midlands with his parents (we work & drink in Dublin), and is very hard to understand as he mumbles and has a very thick accent.
He's a nice enough bloke to talk to but is quiet isn't very funny (i.e. he'd laugh at your jokes but doesn't crack any himself).

The thing that has been making me scratch my head is that every single time we go out he ends up with a cracking girl. Every single time!
Don't get me wrong - I like the bloke & I applaud his sucess/luck with the opposite sex, I just don't see how he does it!
Back in my women-chasing days I would have been shot down at least as many times as I met up with a girl (if not a lot more) and I and most of the lads I work with just don't know what his secret is.

Any Ideas??

Surely there is something your missing out on??? Like he must have something that makes him appealing to these women.

I dont fully understand it. There is definitely more to it, that your perhaps haven't been made aware of?

Gift of the gab. Simple as that.
I have a few friends like that.

biko

Lynx effect

Duggy747

Has to be:

Filthy Rich
He developed some sort of woman-magnet smell
Has Super-Mega-Fúckton-Class A chat-up material

or more likely

is a horrid poxy bastard and is living proof that life isn't fair! I know some of my friends that say things that would make a woman mace ya but for some reason it works with them, pricks!

You're right on the first two.
The third will make you the girls best friend, therefore preventing you from scoring last friday night when that chick you really like was drunk and all over you telling you she loves you and that you're her best friend.

I'm not bitter. Honestly.

I've fallen off that wagon too. 13 murders later and I'm beginning to get over it.

Heh, usually works for me:

"Excuse me, does this smell like chloroform to you?"

Ger_Hankey

hmmm..
Keatmine - doubt it, theay all seem to walk out of the pub under their own power;

Lynx effect - anybody who stands too close will attest to the fact its definitely not that;

Gift of the gab - very unlikely (see the first post), and besides it doesn't matter what you say it won't work on every girl;

Filthy Rich - possibly, but I don't think he goes up to a girl and says "Hey baby, want to come back to mine and see my cash?"

Otherwise gifted - again its a possibility, but how do you go advertising that fact to somebody you are chatting up?

I can't even put it down to him being "a horrid bastard & living proof that life isn't fair". He's actually quite sound.

Must just be some pheromone in a bottle thing. I should aproach him about going into business selling his sweat. Could be a little gold mine...

tuxy

Why don't you ask him? If you bring it up he will probably take it as a compliment, so no harm done.

There are ways of subtly hinting at both... Do many of the girls he's been with know each other at all?

FlutterinBantam

He has a cock like a Mexican Burro... no other answer.... unless


He is a natural guy who doesn't "throw shapes" and is "himself" in all situations.


Women appreciate that I'm told.

"How is it you manage to pull so often even though you're an ugly fat git who smells & nobody can understand a word you're saying?"

Something along those lines??:D

Where about in the Midlands is he from?

I've seen similar from Offaly people, the mere mention of the
county seems to make some women go weak at the knees!

Dunno why!

Dun laoire

I dont buy it hankey. Are you trying to tell me that your mate who's uglier than this fella http://images.ireland.com/focus/election_2002/picsarchive/brian_cowen1.jpg can score with cracking birds? No way man, seriously. NO WAY. HE's gotta be better looking than the Cowen lad.

humbert

I reckon he must lie, pretend he's rich/important etc.

He's got tidier hair. Thats about it.

Saint_Mel - Hes from Laois.

Whatever it is he's got, he knows how to use it. Fair play to him I suppose. If I wasn't married I'd probably ask to be his wingman

He's either:

Loaded
Well Hung
Really Funny
Loaded

There is the answer right there. You find him to be "quite sound". He's obviously charming and for whatever reason he just appeals to women. If he can hold a conversation with them, its not that difficult to get stuck in really is it?

Or perhaps he's just being a good samaritan and giving them a lift home (entirely innocent - but to others he appears to have 'pulled' and is off home.)

crybaby

maybe the women are just prostitutes that he has previously hired to meet him in the pub and make it look like hes a hero with the ladies

more likely though hes just good at talking to women and has a good sense of humour

Vegeta

Maybe all the birds he pulls are also muckers from the country like him so they share this in common and he's in

(I am also a mucker from the country before anyone asks)

Does it work for you?

MarkR

Hmmm... All I can think of is that he stands around people who are even fatter, uglier, smellier, and harder to understand then he is.

OH! Wait! Got it! He sold his soul to the devil. That'll be it.

giddyup

Similar sounding bloke in a company I used to work for. We were mainly a young bunch and there was one slightly older bird that sat beside me. We were boys, she was a woman etc etc. She was a cracker. Nobody would even bother to try it on. The biffo did and he scored. The next day the whole office was stunned. A good life lesson I thought. Nothing ventured. My hat was permanently off to him after that.

dellas1979

Maybe that is you and your workmates opinion of him as ye know him.

Maybe to women, he is sound out, like you said yourself. Maybe he feels more confortable around women. Maybe he only goes for drunk little wans. Maybe some of the girls at work actually fancy him!!!!

Post Reported. Jokes about Rohypnol used in that way, are not funny.


If he's a quiet fella and listens to the women talking all night, it will help his success rate. I'd say that's the reason......

Pepe LeFrits

Sounds like he knows what he's doing and doesn't give a **** what people think.

Maybe if you focussed more on his personality (read: attitude) and less on his looks you'd understand.

So its not so much what he's doing right, as what he's not doing wrong? That maybe the girls are just waiting for him to say something sexist/insulting/incriminating and cause he doesn't (not clearly, anyway), they can't find fault with him?

You might be on to something there....

The reason I said that was because there have been posts in this thread about ketamine and chloroform. You didn't report them so obviously you found them funny. Plus I can't remember the amount of times I have seen people (yes myself included) say chloroform in the same context and not once have I seen you complain about that.

I saw that users comment and then looked at the OP, then reported the one that you see I reported. Didn't see the other ones ........

I don't find any of them funny, but don't have a problem with you so not going to argue off topic with ya man ....

No idea what it was;)

Was thinking this myself, afterall sounds like he'd need to fork out on them regularly and since he still lives at home he'd have the cash.

Maybe it's hynotism/jedi mind tricks?

Or maybe simply a case of "a wizard did it".

Ooh, maybe he did like that guy in American Pie, paid one of the girls to start a rumour that he was "incredible" and now they're all curious and want to find out.

Or as a horrible thought... that's his sister and he brought her because he couldn't get a date...
