Have any of you impecunious and humpbacked losers ever pulled off this pretense successfully?
If you ask Atlas any question in the form of "Have any of you ever [something related to girls]?" the answer is always going to be no. Especially if you add the qualifier "successfully" at the end.
Well you're quite right, there's no doubt I'm asking the wrong group, but I'm just curious in general if such subterfuges can work 'in life'. I guess the obvious answer is - pretty damned rarely, if at all.
Isn't that what "pickup artists" or whatever they call themselves do?
