Yes. Yes he was. Especially towards the end of the movie... (but not only because of Shakespeare :-) )

No. Depending on the girl you'll either get a "You creep, I don't ever want to see you again", a laugh because you told a funny story (along the line of the laugh you get when a child tells a funny story, i.e. not an "attracted" laugh) or just an annoyed "sigh". Only to someone you know well. It might work when you've been dating for quite some time and feel comfortable with being slightly mean to each other (in a fun way), but absolutely not before that.



In general, don't copy The Game (or any of its copycats). The only thing in terms of "picking up girls" worth learning from that book is: Self confidence is almost universally attractive. A half-rude joke is not a sign of self confidence though.

There's nothing different about the eyes, it's just a cultural thing. Your average man doesn't need to know the difference between firehouse red and cherry red unless he's a painter or artist. For a woman, though, FASHION IS LIFE OR DEATH, so that knowledge can be essential. Thus women are more likely to describe colors in more detail in a general setting than men.

Actually, men are much more likely to be color blind than women. I remember reading an article once claiming women generally do see different shades of color better, especially red.

I do know I care nothing for fashion, but sometimes I get surprised of how my husband sees certain colors, even though he's not colorblind.

I was under the impression that the reason we have difficulty telling colours apart isn't a genetic reason, but a language barrier. I can say if 2 shades of white are different, but I'll still call both white instead of "eggshell white", "bone white", "bleached white" or any other white shade there might be. So the test you could do with your husband would be to have him pick the colour your couch (or shirt, or car) is from a list, and not ask him to tell you what colour it is.

Forum ate my post, trying again.

My husband has protanomaly so he cannot properly distinguish between red and green hues, the lighter the colour the harder for him to see it properly. He once wanted to buy a light green shirt but was looking at light pink shirts all the time.

And yes, colour blindness is more common in males:

No, it's genetic. It's been a while since I read the article so I might remember something wrong, but basically it's like this: women have XY chromosomes and men XY, right? The Y chromosome is an X chromosome with a piece missing. Women basically have more genetic info than men. One of the things that's in the missing piece is some color dedifferention information.

This might explain why I've seen so many pink shirts on men.

Crap, you just made me lose.

Anyways, I thought women liked jerks.

How well do you know this girl?
Does she know you?
Is there chemistry on both sides?

Hard to give advice if we don't know how she thinks about you. But I would not go for pickup lines =)
Just show some confidence and charisma.

If she doesn't know you well, just ask her to hang out or grab a drink sometime, whatever.
If she knows you and likes you, ask her if she wants to go on a date with you.

Doesn't have to be more complicated than that =).

Yes, Piranjade posted the link to the chromosome deficiency above, but forum keeps eating my posts, thus didn't want to try editing mine. But as an example, on this image, I would call the colours "brown, yellow, yellow, yellow, blue, blue" even though I can see that no two colors are the same. I may use the mustard as one of the yellow colours, but it's still yellow to me.

One:
Now, unless you really have a "text" relationship: FUCKING CALL HER. Especially after flaking out on her last week. Most girls like being called.. and I would think that, if you're really interested in her, you would like actually talking to her... radical idea, I know.

Two:
You know her better than we do. Does she genuinely like an idiotic sense of humor? If so, by all means, say something highly stupid and potentially insulting. If not, or you're not sure, DON'T, not if you want to keep her as some semblance of a girlfriend- especially since (once again) you flaked on her.

Remember one thing, goofshit sarcastic humor doesn't always translate in text form. When you say something like
"Hey baby, I saw an Ostrich the other day and it reminded me of you.." in real life, you're probably going to have the telltale signs of joking around.. In text, not so much.

if you have to ask for advice on an internet gaming forum, you don't stand a chance. sorry.

I read (time ago) that the genetic code for the cones in our retina was in our X chromosome, and while there's only 3 types of them, one of the types could be a 'little skewed' to sense a displaced range of frequencies. In males that's just anecdotal but in females, if she has one X chromosome with the 'standard' cone and the other X chromosome with the 'Skewed' one she'll have 4 types of cones, and it will give her the capability to discern a lot more color tones than any other person.

That said, it's a rather uncommon mutation.

Well, I don't think that I"ll ever be able to understand them beyond a certain degree.The way they think and react to situations is so very different.I don't think that it is limited to colors but it is a clear indication that they perceive things very differently.That much I think has been established...


Well, she asked me out in the first place.We are opposites and yea we do like each other. She does have a quirky sense of humor and she does get me.....In a way she understands me way better than even my own family.It's a bit freakish. I on the other hand, can't seem to read her that well ....even though she is the talkative one.

I think this is more likely to work than any frankly odd-sounding attempt to be all zany and individual and cool. There's a fine line between 'hey this guy is so zany and cool' and 'one day this guy will be found with my severed head in his fridge'. You don't want to cross that line.

Also, can you clarify on 'flaked out'? That covers a lot of ground... Did you cancel a date with a lame excuse, or did she return from the restaurant toilet to find you standing on the table, rubbing the remains of her dinner into your bare buttocks?
