Official, a matter of scientific record: the best chat-up line in the world

A little quiz for you. Imagine you're a single woman and a man approaches you with these words: "It's hot today, isn't it? It's the best weather when you are training for a marathon." Should you, a) Smile kindly and assume that he is involved in some kind of care-in-the-community situation; b) Ignore the loser because he is making a rubbish pass at you; c) Be impressed and flattered. He has repeated the exact wording of the official best chat-up line of the modern age.


The answer, apparently, is C.

I rather like the line myself and if I was single, I think I would rather meet a fellow runner out there somewhere then be chatted up by some half drunk guy in the bar.

And if you weren't impressed with the guy: d) Let's see you do your long run then. In the opposite direction!

See Riona? I do comment.

I'll second what Dawn said, and then compare marathon times, just to be sure that he's legit. ;)

I'd also question if he was a real marathoner. Hot weather is NOT best!

I can't imagine why anyone would want to read a book like that, much less write one.

M.A.C.K. Attack? Lame.

I'm not sure I believe in pick-up lines. Do real people actually really do that?
