So… i gather that it’s probably not a good idea to approach a woman and say, “I’ve got the F, the C, and the K, babe. All i need is U!” 
I’ve never gone to bars with the intent of meeting someone, so my answers are no and no, though i think in retrospect that one or two women that i’ve talked to in bars actually might have been interested.
Well, zyzz, the one that gave you the lapdance at CELL the other night shoulda been a nice not so subtle hint.
Never been picked up.
Been refused more times than I can count. 
Call.
Raise ten.
And hey, at least your a mod. That gets you points with the women here. 
I have to rely on quoting some dead guy for my meager scraps of attention.
So I should retire “Hey babe, I’ve got a whole box of condoms that’s about to expire.” ?
pezpunk Try Target in Carrollwood, dude. DAMN! I mean double DAMN! I swear Target is my new hunting grounds.

If you call having a beautiful girl with large breasts walk up behind you and put them on either side of your neck, being picked up, then …
I was sitting on a stool playing the video game Crystal Castles at the Sports Pub. (Yeah, every detail is permanently imbedded in my brain) This girl walks up and is watching me play. After a couple of minutes she starts a conversation. Well, I’m being polite and answering her, but not paying any attention. After about 10-15 minutes go by (I could play this game for 30 min to an hour on one quarter), I guess she decided to get my attention. She walks up behind me and rests her “tiggers” on my shoulders, and they are warming the sides of my neck. OK, I get the hint now. I actually take a good look and this girl is beautiful. This is getting long, so I’ll shorten it up. We take my motorcycle to my apartment, have great sex. I find out she is a dancer at one of the local strip clubs, lives in the same apartment complex and needs to clean up and get back to her car and get home before her “Old Man” gets home. (He’s kinda jealous) .
Oh, to be young, dumb, and full of … again:D
Oh yeah, I’ve been picked up in a dance club. A couple of times, actually.
The funniest one was this drunk guy who got alarmed when I told him I was 18. (Which I was, at the time.) He got all nervous until I told him that I’d been around the block and he wasn’t taking advantage of some frail virgin. That calmed him down. We did it three times that night, by my account.
I’ve got an uncle who met all five of his wives in bars…
I never was much of a bar/club person. But the best line ever used on me was a plaintive “Can I befriend you?” What can I say - I’m a sucker for the cuddly, teddy bear kinda guy with a nice beard… ah, youth!!
“Get the gems, Bentley Bear!”
I used to love that game. Someday I’ll have to see if there’s a PC version.

I’ve gotten phone numbers a couple of times, once in a bar in Charlottesville when I was a grad student, and another time when I was in line at a store doing my Christmas shopping, and struck up a conversation with the woman in front of me. Nothing came of it either time, but what the hey.
I’ve been picked up, sort of, just once: I was in another city, and went out to dinner with a longtime friend and his GF. She brought along another (female) friend of hers. After dinner and a few beers, GF’s friend was all over me, and who was I to blow against the wind?
