Then I'll have to blame my cube for not being lubed enough. Maybe I should also wash it and wrap it in pink pajamas.
Cube = chick magnet?

Washing and wrapping yourself in pink pj's works better.
And lube has nothing to do with it.
Seriously, my social life would have been a lot less interesting without the cube. I am not interested in most women that are not interested in it so not only is it an excellent topicstarter, but it is also a good selection-mechanism

Actually, that part was serious.
My cube pops way to much. No one dares to touch my cubes. I think lubing makes it pop a bit less. Tightening is probably better, but I like cubes that cut corners.

Oh you lucky boy you. I wish I could have been in your position.
I beg to differ with the situation you posted above.

I really don't think cubes are chick magnets. Don't know about Hadley, but girls are just interested in watching the cube, not the guy solving the cube. Cubes are AWFUL at getting dates and stuff (at least for me anyway).

I've had a few girls talk to me...
But I'm bad at making conversations in general.
So it doesn't work too well

I often cube in the subway and on the local trains from where i live to Stockholm. This have led to many conversations with both guys and girls, but i prefer the girls 
In the Paris metro a very nice girl stated to speak with me and a man sitting beside suggested she should give me here phone number and meet for cubing lessons
Also a really nice looking girl on the airplane to london started to speak with me this weekend. When we landed she helped us finding transport from the airport. I also cubed a lot on the London underground which led to some smiles and some conversations.
Ones a whole group of high cool girls scrambled cubes for me in the Stockholm subway, rely cute ones but way to young for me :rolleyes:

Theory continues.
Mall today. 2 girls and 1 guy asked me about the cube. Guy just asked if I could solve it and went on his way. Girls asked more questions, and I landed an email address from a blazin' hottie.
Gotta love it.

Nice one man, well done!
Woah, everybody forgot about the chickmagnetness of blindfold cubing. To me, there is nothing better than taking off the blindfold, seeing a solved cube and your girlfriend who magically lost her shirt during the solve.
If it works on my girlfriend, it has got to work on random girls too (if not the losing their shirt part then at least they will be really impressed and you can start the conversation).

amazingly, the girls in my english class have more of an interest in a 2x2 cube than a 3x3. I just need to find a way to solve it blindfolded with ALL the spare time i have. *sarcasm spare time can't really express it through typing*

I'm testing this hypothesis. From now on I will keep as accurate a tally as possible of the number of men and women that confront me while I'm cubing in public.
I guess I need a few ground rules.
1) I have not met this person before
2) They must initiate conversation with me, not the other way around (if I speak to him or her first, the whole situation is not tallied)
3) I think i have to take out women who are not an appropriate age for me, otherwise it would just feel creepy talking about the cube being a "chick magnet" if the girl is like 12 or 58, ya know. (Note: that is not the range I feel is acceptable, i'm thinking at my age- 23- about 5 years in either direction is legit.) they can be their own category.
4) I have no way of objectively measuring the level of interest, so I won't bother
Should be an interesting experiment which will prove absolutely nothing, but it will be fun.
Any suggested rules may be entertained.

12 would be a chick to me, if someone that age starts talking to you, send her to me!
