No one should be taking any dating advice from such men unless they also have a sizable fortune. In which case, the actual pick-up line does not matter.

You are a peach.

Do you have autistic sons but no billions?

It sounds weird. I think i'd be confused-/assumed I misheard. I'd respond- "we DID just meet and are talking now- what do you mean?" and if he had to spell it out like "let's meet elsewhere" the dime would drop and I'd be like no thanks/get a hooker if you are that hard up and transactional".

It feels creepy to me, not formal. I don't know why.

What? Not at all!

He sounds very sensitive.

Bill Ackman, a 6'3" billionaire Harvard grad with a pretty good head of hair, claims "May I meet you?" was his go to line when out and about in his single days. He encouraged single men today to try it.

A normal guy field tested it and was brutally laughed at, not just by the woman he approached, but all of her friends as well.

How terrible is this line? Or is it not that bad and just depends on who delivers it?

David Ackman bought a sugar baby to marry.

His pick up line was ""Can I offer you a few million dollars to make seem hip and cool?"

It works if he's okay looking and is momentarily frazzled by a woman's beauty and charm. Like how Mr. Darcy is awkward.

Agree. I think it’s charming if delivered in the right way, with some works on either end.

You can't use someone else's line unless it feels authentic to you. There's nothing wrong with the words, but you can't use them if they're comfortable for you.

Nepo baby trust funder who's never worked a day in his life. His entire family went to Harvard, he wasn't some genius, just super legacy. Left his family to marry a Israeli woman, a fake "academic" who's linked to Epstein...

Suddenly, he's a dating expert and a raging Zionist...

This guy is the dumbest mark on the planet.

OMG, you may not realize how anti-Semitic you have become, but if subbed in black for Zionist/Israeli, you might see the problem....

Back to the actual question, the general advice to young men to go shoot their shot in a kind/respectful way, despite the risk of rejection and potential humiliation, is still good advice. It beats swiping on a phone.

He's literally the worst. Have had professional interaction with him. His head is so far up his ass...google Bill Ackman Bike Ride if you want to understand why he thought this was a good line. Is he actually 6'3? I always think of him as a small man.

Yes and it's nice to have a billionaire husband who can support your creative endeavors. She was friends with Jeffrey Epstein. That tells me everything I need to know about her.

+1. Like Bezos, Ackman still doesn't realize he was targeted by a shark. Gullible dweebs.

A pseudo famous clean cut meekish looking BILLIONAIRE can say anything and 99% of women will stop and chat. This coddled guy is a deluded putz. Born on third base and thinks he's a expert on everything.

I hate that the actual line is being picked apart. His general advice to put yourself out there and risk rejection for the chance of an authentic, fulfilling relationship is one we should be celebrating, not micro-nitpicking the actual line being used.

I am 48 with two teenage boys. I had some success and a lot of rejection when I was a teen and young man, despite being a conventionally attractive, division 1 hockey player who went to a good school.

In my experience, the line doesn't matter as much as the sincerity of trying to say hi and doing so in a non-threatening way that gives the woman an opportunity to politely decline. I have told my boys this. I have also told them that unfortunately, there are a lot of rude, judgmental people of both sexes that will react to your earnest attempts by laughing at you, or ridiculing your intro. And to be thankful you were rejected by them at the outset and dodged that bullet.

Well you were most likely 25 hitting on 19 year olds. So that's always going to go sideways.

Cold calling is basically going to get a lot of rude hang ups, ... teach your boys to make sincere friendships with women, men, and everything in between and eventually they will meet someone through their friends who they can ask out.

No, the advice to young men is to never "shoot your shot". Be a friend, do fun things with the opposite sex, stop acting like the only reason to talk to a woman or be in their sphere is to "shoot your shot"... treat women like a friend, how you want your sister to be treated. Once you get to know a bunch and have mutual interests and friendships you might notice one that is more aligned to your values and then you ask her out.
