Dodgy Dating

1. On the first date, the man deliberately mispronounces a word repeatedly and waits to see if the woman says something about it. If she does, he makes an excuse and leaves. No way is he going to get involved with a woman who's going to correct him.

* This is a story I heard about a prominent politician in the U.S.

2. The host invites three people out on the same date and they all sit at a table as a foursome. The host then sits back and watches the three dates interact in their efforts to curry favour with him or her. When he or she has made a decision, the host tells two of them to go home.

I would suspect in this scenario that the 'host' would be eating alone as soon as the other 3 realized what was happening.

People like to feel special you see.

Some men are pussies who don't like to be challenged by a woman.

He could emphasize that a shag was in the offing for one of them.

I wonder if he has the makings of a good president.

3. Invite several candidates at 15-minute intervals throughout the evening and explain that the rules of Speed Dating will be in force; phone numbers will only be exchanged with those who seem like a fairly safe bet.

Some may not be impressed by the chance to obtain a carpet with a long pile, some coarse cut tobacco or a goose sized bird.

You’ve not dated in while then?

4. "Now, darling, when I say a shag is in the offing, I do NOT mean a carpet with a long pile, some coarse-cut tobacco, or a goose-sized bird."

The Gravedigger Gambit.

I've been swiping right a lot, does that count?

It was kind of double-edged.

Edge 1. proposing that a man on a first date with three women and offering the best conversationalist a “shag” demonstrates a lack of understanding of the female libido.

Edge 2. if it was you offering the shag it might be a short evening, for you that is.

Double edged, cutting both ways, scissoring blades.

Scissoring.

Hmm.

Is this a Tinder reference?

I never used the app.
