Pick-Up Lines.

As any girl who lives in this country (and has a MySpace account) knows that there are no real means of dating here. Single men have overcome this obstacle by stalking gals on Social Networking sites. On my MySpace account, I get between 2 and 10 friend requests and emails daily from Arab men in the UAE. Usually I have the "block user" function (and "deny") handy, but sometimes they are pretty funny in their translation or absurdity. I've gotten a kick out of A Canadian In Abu Dhabi's running series of these "come ons" (check out a few of them here and here).

So I thought I'd share one I received this morning:

"hi honey
how are you.. iam interested to you sweet heart
you looking very especial girl and beautiful
worm regards
ismael"

Worm regards? Hmmmm...

  1. Ewwwwww...

    And those from the Canadian's are a bit creepy too... not as much as someone sending you worm regards though.

  2. Flatery is flatery even if it's a bit creepy. I think.

    I think the best one I ever heard was a guy in New York tell a waitress (put on your best New York Gumba accent to get the full effect) "Jesus Christ Doll. You gotta seta getaway sticks that'd make a priest kick out a stained glass window." That's classy!
