I used to go to this club in Portland that was all about 1980s flashback music:

The lines for the bar were ridiculously long, and I sometimes used the wait as an excuse to pick up on women. One of my favorite routines was to do the "Do you like Huey Lewis and the News?" bit from "American Psycho."
Never ceased to amaze me, how I basically got two responses:
1) if they were super young, they though the bit was weird but they were engaged and kinda wondered where the hell I was going with it
2) if they were over 30, they often recognized the speech and thought it was clever
I'm literally quoting the speech given before a psycho killer caves someone's head in with an axe, and they're eating it up, hook, line and sinker.
The most ridiculous example of this, is that I did it one night to some Asian girl I wasn't even attracted to. She was standing next to "her friend" who had massive tits. (I like massive tits.) My plan was to flatter the mousey Asian, in order to get her in my good graces so that she wouldn't cockblock me when I embarked on my
real goal: to get with her friend.
So things are working great, and the three of us are dancing and having a good time, and generally the night is going pretty great. As the club closes down I try and get the two of them to 'bounce' to the afterparty...
And then the Asian girl is like "I don't know who this other girl is."
And I'm like "what?"
And she tells me that the two of them don't know each other at all. I'd assumed that they were together, but they weren't. Didn't know each other whatsoever. But they still played along with my antics, for HOURS, and only revealed that they didn't know each other at the end of the night.
It is downright bizarre how malleable women are. Like hunks of clay that you can just mold their opinions and worldview into anything whatsoever.
The girl with the big tits, I ended up bringing her over to my house half a dozen times. Never managed to fuck her (turned out she had a boyfriend) but it was astonishing how she'd bring her long suffering boyfriend over to my place, like that's a normal thing for people to do. (I had a girlfriend too. Portland is a strange city.)
