Hope Land O Lakes doesn't sue me

I am always surprised at the level of buttering up that oh-so many guys go through in order to get into a girl’s pants. Not only does the buttering up sound insincere but it’s also the same technique used over and over by every other guy out there. And more pathetically, these techniques seem to cross every social group – from the typical blond and wholesome frat boy from Ohio to the skinny Williamsburg hipster in his skinny jeans and designer t-shirt.

Maybe I am wrong, maybe all that buttering up works on a 22 year old girl fresh out of left-wing liberal arts college somewhere in the woods of New York State.

At age 28 and having survived many harrowing years of being buttered up by men of local and international representation, it just doesn’t work any more.

Perhaps there needs to be some sort of an intervention (ah, social work…) informing desperate men that they are in great need to change their lines. Perhaps there needs to be a brainstorming session with an easel and a dry-board marker. Perhaps there can be a top secret focus group to test the lines.

Or how about this:

Boy: “Hey, want go home with me and have sex?”
Girl: “No.”

Chances are we’ve decided long ago whether we want to sleep with you.
