[quote=Happs]Good point, but do you think if the guy in the video said an introductory remark that was more erudite, philosophical or academic, and unrelated to looks that he would have had any interest from the woman?[/quote]

I’m probably not a “typical” woman, but a clever, intelligent comment would definitely make a better impression on me than the line this goof made when the girl first approached him.

What’s funny is that when I told my DH about this video and the guy’s initial comment, my DH didn’t understand why that would be a turn-off, either. I tried to explain that a line like, “I think you’re beautiful; would you like to go out sometime?” is awfully close to a woman telling a man, “You look like a successful, wealthy man; would you like to go out sometime?”

As mentioned above, a man who focuses on a woman’s looks should expect nothing less than a woman who focuses on a man’s wealth/power. That trade is as old as humankind, whether we like it or not.
