Now I've heard some strange chat up lines but this one was just freaky.

I was in the gym last night and noticed some guy watching me, weirded me out a little. When I came to leave he came over to me and said 'I hope you don't mind me saying thing, but I bet you've got lovely feet'

I didn't know if to laugh at him or slap him. So I just turned my back and walked off. Strange, strange man.

We it is original you have to give him that.

It is very weird though. Saying that though I have a foot revulsion, especially toes which just freak me out.

its got me wondering tho.. have you

what a freak... (him not you that is)

That's just plain weird. Although, that approach can sometimes work for being non-standard and off the wall.

Although I've never used it myself (of course, with my good looks, charm and fat wallet I don't NEED chat up lines!*) one of the most off-the-wall chat up lines I personally remember was at our local 'meat market' night club, where I heard the phrase:

"Please don't take this the wrong way, but we're bound to get on as we both have Dandruff in common"

Now.. I am surprised that didn't get a slap. But it didn't get the girl, either.

* disclaimer... I am neither handsome, charming or 'fat in the wallet'. This is purely wishful thinking before my caffeine kicks in.

A foot fetishist? No, that's not nice, not nice at all. I wonder why blokes feel they must always use a snappy chat-up line anyway? In my youth (not that long ago, y'hear!!) when trying to get to know a girl. I was always pleasant, attentive and basically just being my normal self. OK it never got me anywhere and I had to resort to telling them I was an airline pilot and part time brain surgeon but at least I tried!

tell 'em your a photographer...always get their interest...the fact you're wearing a balaclava and up a tree at the time doesn't always go down well when the police are called...

he as probably thinking "hmm..if i tell her she's pretty, she'll be used to that...so i'll make an off the wall remark..."

"Oy! Nice feet - fancy a drink?!"

that's a man's brain for you lomster...

i think he could of only of been creepier if he said "may i have some of your sweat please? Its for my collection..."

Yes yes we've all seen Pride and Predujice. "Why MR. Mandrake sir your advances are very agreeable"

ewww that would have been weird.

The worst thing was that he just came up to me full of confidence and said it with a such dead straight face.

But how can someone have a fetish over feet???? They're horrible, claw like things.

Gyms!

Yes, nutters in gyms!

I've had a few brushes with nutters in gyms.

The latest one, who shall remain anonymous (since I don't know his name. I call him Rambo), glares at me through the mirrors. Not a loving, affectionate glare I must add, but a squinty bag-of-hammers glare.

The other day I caught him giving me the vees, again in the reflection.

Now, I am not a large bloke. This gentleman is very large though, and I'm quite scared of what he might do when my back is turned and there are not adequate means for my safe escape.

Lady of mystery, I can thoroughly sympathise.

Marky, the meat heads can be quite a strange bunch. They always strut around glareing at each other, but luckily in my gym they tend to stay in the free weights room where I don't often go.

Yes and one of the advantages of not being a thick-necked muscle mary is that one can generally out-run these lumbering monsters.

It's all very well being able to bench press 300lbs but if you're out of breath running for the bus then you've got problems.

I have a major thing for ears and tattoos on lower backs, does that make me weird?

...Yes having ears on your lower back is very weird

I always knew there were many good reasons to avoid gyms.. as if the whole exercise thing wasn't scary enough there's also the wierdos that often frequent the places!
I think I'll stay on my sofa and have another country slice, thank you very much (and hope that my belly doesn't get any bigger as I slowly maneouvre my way behind 40-years-old.. I'm 39 next birthday! How on earth did that happen??).
ps I really like feet.. I think nearly everyone's feet I've seen are really cute.. apart from my own which are horrific!
