Q: What’s the opposite of a pick up line?
A: “I’m getting my PhD in organic chemistry.”
At least, this seems to put a damper on a conversation when a girl says it to a guy. Maybe in the reverse situation it works to impress; I wouldn’t know. Pick up line or not, here is a list of the top 5 awkward responses to this revelation.
5. Wow, I really hated organic chemistry. I failed it twice and it ruined my dreams of becoming a doctor.
4. Oh, yeah! Like bacteria and stuff!
3. You must be really smart. You probably think I’m stupid.
2. That’s cool. Hey, my buddy just showed up, I gotta go.
1. [Silence]
Number 3 is a real pain in the ass.
I can confirm the reverse situation is also a no go.
6. That’s cool, I’m really into organic food and stuff.
:'(
hahaha yes!
I feel your pain- I’m working on a PhD on environmental toxicology- I get a lot of dumbfounded looks… if I get one more comment about the BP oil spill I might explode…grr
My friends and I are working to test the following follow up and it’s effect on the menfolk…
“….AND I have cleavage…see? It’s right here” And give a big flirtatious Wink.
I did fail organic twice.HA! Well, actually it was biochem. But I feel you, especially on #3. I usually told people I was in grad school. At least there would be some convo sking what discipline and what degree.
