You may as well go with a line like this: "I'd marry your cat just to get in the family." HUUH?

Like a door to door salesman it should instead just give you a foot in the door, to get the girl to talk to you so that you can then win her over with your smooth charm. Good pick up lines are: "Excuse me but I really need a female opinion on something that has been bothering me for a while.........a range of questions can then follow such as..........my best friend has started seeing a new girl and is still friends with his ex but his new girl friend wants him to break off all contact with her, what do you as a woman think he should do?.........or who lies most men or women.................or I think I am going grey and want to know whether to dye it or not, do women think grey hair is a turn off". Or a situational statement such as "oh no it looks like its going to rain" great for outdoor pick ups. "Those are really nice sun glasses you are wearing where did you get them". etc. Sometimes the less clever the opener the better as it is only meant to allow you to get a conversation started.

I'm a great fan of David Ogilvy's writing. Whenever I can I make my post titles interesting, intriguing or even controversial. I also try and bring readers in with a good first line leading to a great second line and get them into the content. Jim Hi Darren,

A post after my own heart. I’m a great fan of David Ogilvy’s writing. Whenever I can I make my post titles interesting, intriguing or even controversial.

I also try and bring readers in with a good first line leading to a great second line and get them into the content.

One of his angels has fallen down to Earth!! Haha! Great post. I totally agree with it - if you're like me and have at least 20 firefox tabs open at any given time, you really need attention grabbing lines! And if you've also got a short attention span (like me!), you need to keep readers hooked after the 'pick-up'. Perhaps that is a much more difficult thing to do.... Somebody call God!!

I just wrote an article at TycoonsRow.com which a portion read: "Breaking Into Hollywood". The article was instantly submitted to Reddit & has been getting read a lot more then many of my other articles have been. That specific articles popularity rose 27% instantly & had 2 comments on it. But I think when I look into the words deeper, I created a "need", however, for this period of time, I think it was more of "desire" of potential readers during this time that wanted to read this content.

My aim of cause is to keep improving as I do feel I have something to offer; especially for those interested in a combination of art and other stuff thrown in for a bit of extra spice. I guess the proof of the pudding will be if my readership keeps growing. An excellent post as well as an entertaining one. :-D
