While looking up random topics about relationships on a message board, (it was not one of those insipid "pickup artists" sites) I started thinking about the phrase "sweeping a girl off her feet," and the like. This phrase seems to imply an utterly fantastical ideal about how relationships should start and develop. And apparently it is common to see. It seems so superficial and unfair to the man. He is just a man. He will not complete you. Maybe I'm wrong and I have the definition backwards. So anyway let's laugh at a horrible pick up video I found while trying to google the answer to that.

A quick google of "How to sweep a girl off her feet" (someone explain that phrase to me please) leads to that page along with a video of a what I'll call a pickup artist talking to two female strangers in public. I thought he looked so shifty! One of the girls very quickly folds her arms, and you know what that means. Occasionally he would 'flirt' with the girls by... insulting them? At the end of the video he offers commentary on how this way of flirting is actually effective and is not arrogant at all. But, I'm sorry but I thought it just was arrogant. During the video he even tried to establish himself as a great thinker. It was awful to watch. I'm sure there are better ways to meet and talk to the opposite sex.
