Idle thoughts of a relatively libertarian Republican in Cambridge, MA, and whomever he invites. Mostly political.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that an experiment conducted by University of Louisville psychologist Michael Cunningham found that while men had a 50/50 chance with a direct approach, their odds fell to 20% when they resorted to clichéd come-ons such as "haven't we met before?" By contrast, women who approached men enjoyed a 90% success rate regardless of what they said. As Prof. Cunningham concluded: "Men are still not hit on nearly as much as they want." This piece of breaking news brought to you by OpinionJournal, and passed along for the opportunity to point out that the danger of truly ... innovative pick-up lines is not that they might fail, but that they might work. Consider whom you want to pick up; you attract flies with honey, so if you don't want flies, you should probably use something else.
