Ok,
you’ve probably heard that Laundromats are great pick
up places, better than a singles bar – that’s because
they are! Maybe not better, but certainly a great alternative
that’s just as good. You can pretend your entire motive
is to wash clothes, and that you’re not on the make. The
woman won’t have that feeling like you’re just trying
to pick her up if you strike up a chat here – even if
that’s exactly what you’re doing!
What
really helps you out here is that women like to talk, and they
love to give advice – especially to “helpless”
men! First of all, pick a good Laundromat – meaning one
where you’ve seen lots of attractive women who aren’t
dragging a bunch of kids with them or wearing wedding rings.
Basically, pick one in a neighborhood with lots of young, single
women – they’ll be using the Laundromat close to
home. And don’t worry if you already have a washing machine
at home, it’s worth the trip out and a little change to
meet women! If you meet someone that eventually makes it back
to your place and discovers you have a machine at home, just
tell her it was broken, or better yet, be honest and say you
went to the Laundromat hoping to meet someone, and that was
the best decision you ever made because you met her.
But
let’s back up, first you’ve got to meet her! So
go to the Laundromat with your basket of clothes – no
detergent. Make sure you don’t bring anything a woman
might find disgusting – like really dingy, holey underwear,
badly stained
T-shirts, or socks that used to be white but now look like you
walked through mud in them. However, something slightly stained
won’t hurt – like a grass stain on your jeans or
chocolate sauce on a shirt. You can use this later to help with
the conversation
Go
in, plop your laundry basket down on a machine near one or more
ladies you wouldn’t mind picking up, and start digging
through the basket like you’re looking for something.
Then say out loud to yourself, “Oh, man, I forgot the
detergent!” Laundromats usually have a vending machine
selling detergent, so go over and start browsing. Act like you
don’t know which one to pick, then go to the woman you
want to chat up and say, “Excuse me, they don’t
have my regular detergent here and I don’t know what to
use. Can you help me pick one out?” Women can’t
resist an opportunity to give advice, and they love the idea
that men might be helpless when it comes to some chores, like
laundry. This is where, if you’ve got the grass stain
or whatever, you can bring that up and say you don’t know
what to do to get it out. She may come over and show you how
to rub detergent on the stain, etc. After you get the detergent,
go back to your machine, fumble around, and go back to her and
say, “I’m sorry to keep bothering you, but these
machines are different than what I’m used to and I don’t
know what setting to use. Could you give me a hand? I’m
sorry to seem so helpless.” Milk the helpless bit for
all it’s worth. Ask her how much detergent to use, what
colors you can wash together, and what temperature to set the
water at – whatever you can think of.
Also,
if the Laundromat doesn’t have a vending machine for detergent,
ask the woman if you can borrow some of hers. Insist on paying
her back by paying for her washing or dryer use. Either way,
once you’ve got her talking, keep chatting about clothes
as long as that stays interesting – once it starts to
get lame and boring, ditch the topic! Make sure and introduce
yourself and get her name, then start asking her about herself.
Find out where she works, what she does for fun, what movies
or bands she likes, what her favorite types of food are. You
can use that info as she’s packing up her clothes to leave
– Say, “Thanks so much for the help. I’d love
to pay you back by taking you out for some Italian food (or
going to hear that band you like, or see that movie you said
you’d been dying to see.)”
And
one last thing, be ready with an explanation of why you’re
using this particular Laundromat if it’s not in your neighborhood,
just in case she asks. Make sure you pick one that’s not
too far from home, and just say the one in your neighborhood
was full and you didn’t want to wait for a machine. Now
grab some change, a pile of dirty clothes, and get ready to
bag that babe!
