If that doesn't work, you might try my brother's always successful pick up line. He would select the best looking woman in a club, and walk straight up to her and say, "Hello. I am unemployed, and live with my mother since I got out on parole. I am totally broke, so would you buy me a drink?"
It worked every time! He did this for years, but since he is a very handsome, 6'4" and all muscle, and a Capt. in the MM, the women all knew it was a joke. Still, it was always such fun to watch him do this and get away with it!
