<p>&#8220;Compared to foreign women, American women are sexless. But their minds are almost constantly on sex. The American woman dresses sex, talks sex, dreams sex, reads sex, smirks sex, pretends sex, hints at sex, smells of sex, slinks sex, dances sex and wiggles sex, but take it from Mortimer, she is a cold, sex-starved potato. Her chief interest in men is what she can get out of them – or how she can enslave them.&#8221;</p>

<p><em><span style="color:#470000;">Macho smells so manly that a phallic bottle was just obvious.</span></em></p>

<p><span style="color:#470000;"><em>You&#8217;d think Bust Cream would be just for the ladies, but YOU WOULD BE WRONG. Bust Cream can be also used as Food, making it a great gift for any couple (or hungry person) on your shopping list.</em> </span></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://hersteria.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/150448443771340914_btbzu82a_c1.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1866 aligncenter" title="bad pickup line" alt="bad pickup line" src="http://hersteria.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/150448443771340914_btbzu82a_c1.jpg?w=256" width="256" height="300" /></a></p>
<p><em><strong><span style="color:#470000;">[The following is presented as an example of a "successful" pick-up line to be used in an art museum.]</span></strong></em></p>
<p>&#8220;Stare at bizarre abstract for five minutes, then nod in judgement, poking cheek in tongue.</p>
<p>YOU: My five-year-old brother has a better notion of line and perspective.</p>
<p>SHE: (eyebrows raised): Better than Klee?</p>
<p>YOU: You don&#8217;t believe me? Look! (Pull folded charcoal line drawing of city skyline from your coat pocket.) Have you ever seen such a display of sweeping vision in conjunction with a draftsman&#8217;s precision&#8230;</p>
<p>This line may be a bit shaky unless your kid brother is in the same league with Klee. But maybe not, because she probably knows nothing about art. After all, <em>Cosmopolitan</em> sent her to the museum to look for men, not for culture.&#8221;</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a title="archie wolf whistle by Typhoid Mary, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/typhoidmary/8239573652/"><img class="aligncenter" alt="archie wolf whistle" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8489/8239573652_cae30b918d_n.jpg" height="320" width="320" /></a> &#8220;Here&#8217;s another scene for your mind&#8217;s eye. Half a dozen boys are congregated on the steps of Ye Ole High School. A captivating co-ed saunters by. What happens? You know! Six low wolf whistles are sounded.</p>
<p>Why? Well, as the boys would phrase it, it&#8217;s because she&#8217;s so &#8212; er, a &#8212; well you must admit she certainly is! Of course, if you happen to be the girl in question, it puts you on the spot. Just how are you supposed to respond to pass this test with flying colors?</p>
<p>If [the girl] looks neither to the right nor the left but marches self-consciously on, she is apt to be the target of even more whistles and wolfish remarks. Boys are thrilled when they can get a rise out of a girl. On the other hand, if she makes some playful retort, the boys are apt to get the idea that their wolf calls are appreciated &#8212; even welcomed.</p>
<p>The ideal solution seems to be for the girl to acknowledge the dubious tribute with a sweet smile (not coy or coquettish) and walk on, thus letting them know that she is not flustered, but neither is she unduly impressed.&#8221;</p>
