Does it bother you that guys throw around the words “I’ve got game” like they hunted it down and shot it with a man-rifle? Every (self-proclaimed) “slick” guy out there is an immature, insecure douchebag. Believe me when I say that lines are for tools.
It occurs to me that there are a million things the typical douchy 20-something guy does that makes me want to vomit. I am going to start a series called “You Have No Game,” dedicated to all the self-proclaimed players who aren’t half as great catches as they seem to think.
Line #1 is one of the most overused lines of douchebag history: “You always get what you want, don’t you?” Apparently not, because I want a guy who isn’t a complete schmuck and it turns out that you are one!
The frustrating thing about this line is that it’s partially intended as a compliment, as if to say that you’re a strong woman who is in control. Since anyone who’s not in control of their life at least somewhat by age 20 is about as useful as Heidi Montag, don’t get too excited when someone says you’re in control. I mean, congratulations… you’re a human being, I hope you enjoy your opposable thumbs.
If the best compliment you can give me is saying that I have motor function and don’t drool when I talk, keep walking.

Our blog is right in the target audience for this… Sadly, I doubt that guys are going to get the hint (even though the last time “lines” worked was in the Stone Age when girls were just impressed by a man with vocal cords).
