They may be there to get ideas for honey-do projects for their
husbands........lol

Goofy, huh? I thought you were Pluto!

ZAP beat me to the wood joke!

Zap I thought you were there to pick up the stripper?

River -- Seriously, if I was looking for someone, that's where I would
start. I see people thumbing through Nietzsche or Updike or Asimov or
even a psychology book all the time. You can tell if it's a real
interest by the way they look through the book. And if it is, and you
know something about it....?

I've found that people are receptive to suggestions regarding similar
books, similar authors, similar topics.

And I think there's a certain benefit to the idea of being in a
bookstore, and knowing a little bit about books, too. I mean, if you
can talk to aomeone about Nietzsche's theory of the Eternal Recurrence,
for example, most people will assume you're not a total idiot, at the
very least!

And I think getting the "foot on the door" is so important when meeting
someone....

lexfontayne: What came to mind as soon as I hit send was, I am usually
browsing in the bookstore and carrying about 1200 pounds of books, DVDs,
and CDs. A guy could ask a girl if she needs a hand!

hey i did that once at home depot i cant beleive i did
lmao!! but i really didnt know about this texture paint so i asked a
good looking guy on the isle.. looked like a painter then i made
sure there was something i needed i could not reach.. of course he did
for me lmao .. damn that is as far as it went but geesh i talked to him
for like 5 min!!!

The "Everything that has happened will happen again and again guy"

You could go to the "how to" book section at Lowe's and cover all your
bases at once.

Oh good idea Gamail! Maybe pick up a man to do a project for me too!

Hey guys ever go shopping at walmart,,,WOW,,,I have never NOT seen cute
ladies there!!!!!on the food side,,,,,OH,,,YEAH,,,,

Karen -- That's a good way to describe it! He threw a lot of other
stuff in there, though, that doesn't seem as likely now, what with
advances in science and everything. Still, it was a pretty deep concept
for a guy writing in the 1880s.

Lex, It would take its own topic board to discuss him, But I have often
wondered how the people of him time thought about him and his ideas and
what we are missing by not understanding people now?

Hey 1m4u: If you want to pick up a guy at Wal-Mart, go to the meat
section. They are swarming! Lol. I did try to pick up a guy at Wal-Mart;
well, break the ice. He was looking at a food collander like it had just
landed from outer space. This was at a brand new Wal-Mart supercenter (I
live near Washington, MO, which had the 1st supercenter in the US). This
place is huge. They ought to let you drive your car up and down the
ailes. Or put in a motel so you can rest up between the pharmacy side
and grocery side. I said to him, "You look confused." He said, "This is
a confusing store, " took his collander and walked away. Well, I
tried.

I say just be yourself and wear whatever color you want! I do have to
say though that another potential place to meet people is in a coffee
shop or book store like Borders. They sometimes have musical guests in
the cafe part of the book store.
