Given the breadth of human experience, why are there only seven basic narrative structures? Why do I always feel compelled to talk about the three subjects that must always be avoided when in polite company?

I suspect that, given the variety of people here, there are a similarly diverse range of openers. Also depending on the mood - and the result that you’re trying to achieve.

Given the range of subjects and experiences here, why does this forum only seem to have half a dozen talking points?

From what I gather and have experienced there is no one best thing to say. Try humour and you can look unfunny, be courteous and it looks boring.

If anything knowing and thinking about that persons profile seems to have some interest. But then again if your profile doesn’t match or pictures aren’t genuine then you’ve got very little chance.

Welcome aboard — it’s a bit like a cocktail party here… except everyone’s pretending not to look too interested 😉

As for chat-up lines? Sure, a cheeky opener like “Are you French? Because Eiffel for you” might get a smile — but trust me, nothing beats making her feel like she’s more than just another message.

My advice? Lead with something real… then follow it up with just enough wit to spark curiosity.

For example:
"You seem like the kind of woman who breaks hearts without meaning to… Should I be worried?" 😏

That way, you’re personal and playful. And if it still doesn’t work? Just blame me. 😂

Just be normal, confident and say hi. I have often approached women and said ‘hi, I thought I’d be sociable and come say hi, my name is xxxx’. Women want to be approached and even if they’re not interested they often say thanks for coming over. Stay away from cheesy lines, it’s bad.

Chat up lines are subjective in my opinion, one man's trash is another man's treasure as they say... Some people find them cheesy whereas a hopeless romantic will find it cute. Read the room and hopefully youl get a reply.

Chat up lines are so passé. They’re supposed to be funny, but all to often they just come off as being a bit tragic.

But a well crafted profile… Some of the ladies here have put real care and thought into those profiles, and even if they don’t match me (too far, I’m too old (or too young), or too something else) they’re great entertainment. Maybe there should be a “best of” page, for the most voted for and finely honed profiles?

Or maybe everyone is now cringing at the thought of being featured in such a way!

Well if you are young enough for the ladies here I am sure yu can find the best words! If you are over 60 resign yourself to your pipe, slippers and cocoa as you wont get much interest!
