You seriously beat me to the same frigging joke.

Seriously, though? In my single days there was a period of time after a bad break up when I wanted to hang out with my friends but didn’t want to chasing girls with them, so I would go out to the bars and have a few drinks with them, but would bring a book. When they would start chasing the girls, I’d have a pint and read. It was astounding how many women approached me.

Never been the case for me, but at the same time I didn't exactly sell it. The idea was to read, not be seen reading.

I think the genuine disinterest was a big part of it. If I had done it specifically to meet girls it wouldn’t have worked.

Yeah there's a fine line which apparently I cross.

@Horace You will be delighted to know that while I cannot quantify this line, I consider it uber-coherent to acknowledge its presence and that I indeed crossed it!
