Picking up girls with the cube

[collinbxyz]

This right here is the answer. I have had plenty of experience speedsolving in public, especially at bars, cafe's, and clubs. Solving the cube fast is by far the #1 way to get a chicks attention. If you continue to solve (Like do avg. 100. while they try to talk to you) then it annoys them and they walk away. There are a few though that are relentless and keep talking to you no matter how long you try to ignore them... lol

There are other factors that will help you pick up chicks or not... like your looks! Are you going to look like Tyson (no offense Tyson)? Or are you going to look like Will Smith?

I've had so many chicks do so many dirty things to my cubes.. you won't believe!

I hope this is all experience from before you got married and had your daughter...

Oh really? I just remember a few videos of his (i think) 3 year old daughter playin with an 11x11 or something. Maybe it was a 7x7, but u get the point.

Well, it might impress, but you won't pick up a girl just from cubing. I think people who use/think cubing will attract girls and/or genders of interests, are just unattractive/lifeless nerds, who don't/can't do anything besides cube for a girl, and don't know any other way to attract girls besides cubing. Basically, if you try cubing to impress girls, you are someone who is probably unattractive and probably has one last hope, to impress a girl by cubing. Maybe if you're already in a relationship, you can impress a girl by cubing. Also, just another word, girls really/should like it when you teach them how to do the Rubik's cube!

If you can't sub 10 on a lubed rubik's, you won't be able to sub 7 on a DIY. Likewise, if you can't already pick up girls, a cube won't help you.

I completely agree. Nice analogies!

I have proof that it works. XD

But seriously, just cube about as much as you usually do, although not all the time when you're alone with a girl. XD. I mean, it may impress, but too much will be...too much.

he used LBL... terrible... or MAYBE he used LBL so that he would have time to talk during the solve

Do people actually look up these videos?

but that was still hilarious

 

[Eleredo]

Nope.

I thought it would but it turns out that noone is interested. Some girls have even pointed out that I waste my time on something lame and pointless, but of course I gave those girls the finger and have never talked to them again.

My cubes > girls

Anyone who tells me I'm wasting my time can expect to get ditched.

Sometimes guys seem interested in learning the cube from me, but it turns out later that they were just interested in me. One picked up F2L really fast, but quickly lost interest in learning LL once we started dating. So I'm kind of disappointed that I haven't been able to train anyone who ends up being really competitive.

my friend kinda got interested in me after he saw me cube in class a lot and he joined my cubing club and stuff but he averages ~70 with beginner's+roux and i average ~24
he learned how to cube from me but im pretty sure he was just interested in me cuz he always wants to take me to the movies and stuff....

this thread should be changed to
"Expiriences trying to pick up chicks using a cube"
probably spelled that wrong
but it appears alot of people have some funny stories

One time, me and some other classmates spent a few weeks over in panama for an exchange student kind of thing. My cube attracted so many girls it wasn't even funny. Literally every girl in that entire city between the ages of twelve and sixteen were stalking me. I must have gotten at least a hundred facebook friend requests in the two weeks I was down there. Even now, almost two years later, I still get occasional messages and friend requests from them. It's kind of scary.

I think being subtle about it is the best thing you can do. Then it becomes a thing you can do that they found out about instead of 'your thing'.

Play it off as if it's not a big deal.

This works, its definately not a good idea to be known as the 'cube guy' by her friends. Especially when you rarely practise anymore.

Why does it matter if you rarely practice? His whole point was that you don't want them thinking you are consumed by the cube.

Kir is right: What it boils down to is how they perceive you and the cube. If they always see you with it, chances are they'll think it's like a WoW addiction, which is obviously a huge negative to most females; however, if they see that you casually do it and it's not at big deal, they're much more inclined to be intrigued by it.

Just for the record though, my past 5-6 girlfriends / girls I was more than friends with have all been interested with it. That being said, only two of them really knew how much of my life it consumed (My current gf of 3 years who goes to comps with me, the one before her of 2 years, the other few of them knew I could do it, knew I did it a lot from time to time, but I never really "ignored" them for the cube). In fact, the only one of those that ever got to see me practice daily is my current girlfriend, but I also didn't do it near as much when we started dating.
