Need some help with bullshitting
 

Ok I am going to a speed dating event in Toronto but the catch is that its only for Postgraduates. So someone give me something to memorize that is believable, not too crazy, so that I can fly under the radar. Thanks. Schools in NY would probably be better since I grew up there.

Say you're a geologist and you specialize in the theory of plate tectonics, which would clearly explain the recent earthquakes in the region.

This post makes me sad

If you have to lie tell them you are the keyboard player from BonJovi

Tell um you did your Masters in Economics or something boring along those lines. Math/Finance, no one will ask further

Just tell them your name and a story you tripped off Acid with your buddy's. Works every time.

Really? You are asking here for something to say to postgraduates?

You've failed already.

Say you got you received an MBA in business management only to decide that you should follow your true passion and get into pornography.

I'd say the easiest thing is say you just got out of med school and you're in the first year of your residency

I'd go with a "hi" and a smile. take it from there.02

This is pretty similar to what I said on my first date with my fiance. :thumbsup

Worked fucking great.

You need to prove to them you're a decent guy before you throw that out there, though.

The weird thing with me is my family knows what I do, but I haven't had the balls to tell most of my friends.

If I were to go all Dr. Phil on the subject I guess its because my family never judges me and I know they won't no matter what, but I run the risk of being judged negatively by some friends.

They're not friends now are they.

I recently bought a urgent care franchise and I secretly discriminate against hiring doctors from third worlds, wink wink medical professionals from India...

I used to hide it. Now it's a great conversation starter. The more nonchalant you are about it, the more confident you seem. The less of a problem it is for you, the less of a problem it is for them.

I really put it out there, too... sometimes in a funny way, depending on my mood. Hairdresser (or whoever) will say something like:

"So what kind of work do you do?"

Me: "High-end photo and video production. Entertainment for adults."

"Ohhhh really! That's so interesting! I have a friend that does the same thing!"

Me: "yeah?"

Then again, the Bay Area is pretty cool with stuff like that in general... but if I get the uber-conservative or super reserved vibe, I recommend not going there.

they will eat you alive.

Need some help bullshitting, eh. Learn from the best bullshitter around and say you're a community organizer.

Seriously what's the end game here? Obviously you can't keep up a line of crap for long, but if you're just looking for a one night stand there are certainly better venues. If you're going witj a.friend who is a post grad or something I'd just say so.

you look like a pretty good looking guy in your avatar and since you're in porn you should have a good income - why do you need to be in a speed dating event?

Tell them you're into the advertising and you're working for small companies on occasion - and that should bore them to death. Or ... just tell them truth - that should be pretty memorable too - I guess.

you are not in pornography, you are in 'internet marketing'

That's interesting, would you share any information?

.

damn it...can't believe this was the first one (my field of study lol..been a while)

sure, earthquakes, but generally the area isnt that great for plate tectonic study (no subduction zones here)...now there is a fairly rich metasedimentary belt north of T.O. mineral capital of Canada - study effect of heat and pressure there maybe

the best part about all this...just like anyone who was reading it here, folks tend to shut down after the 2nd sentence...ah geology, exciting stuff

No I have to lie to get into the event. That was the meanest thing you ever said btw.

Thanks Mutt. I'm done with the online dating where you have to do 20 to 100 emails/txts/phone calls before meeting. The speed dating is out of curiosity and I know I can close more deals in person than by typing.

judging from your pic say your are working on your phd in gay, lesbian and queer gender studies.

Ouch ! That smells like semi retirement and finding a place to stay in calm for the rest of life. Or.... - He looks for new talents. Or... - he's looking for some average women to have sex with no fake orgasms.

I hope these comments of mine does not sound too insulting - it's not meant to be that.

Cheers and good hunting.

Just hang around outside the event and pick up the ones who leave by themselves.

IF you have to lie to get into the event - maybe you are not supposed to be there in the first place??!

You know how the laws of attraction works, you would not end up in the same room with the person if it's not meant to be?

Exactly. I mean, you get in there and court women who are looking for a guy with a post-grad. If you're looking for a relationship, eventually they're going to find out and that might not go down so well. If you're just looking to get your bone on, I can think of a lot of easier ways that don't require a postgraduate degree.

Where is this event anyway? I want a surgeon dating event not just post grad.

just tell them straight up that you aren't a post grad.. they may think it's amusing that you told a white lie to sneak in but then trust you still because you were upfront with it right off the bat..

you want a man who is never home?

You're right, crazy hours.

Nothing is more unlikely than the truth ...

Tell them you are a postgrad engineer involved in the tanning booth industry. I would believe you. Oh yeah, and chemistry, hence the reason too much cologne. It's for science.

i think you should wear a hidden microphone
tape it, and if it goes badly, use the audio as a reason why people should just join your dating site...dating in person can be tricky ;)

Tell them you are a programmer for hire and specialize computation and fluid & partical dynamics simulation. If she asks what that means, tell her you "make CG water and CG explosions" look more realistic.

My intention was to make you laugh not be mean.

Sorry if it made you feel that way

Tell them you have an mba, and that you do online marketing...
you are working with a team launching some hot new site that will change the world, like facebook but bigger, but can't get into specifics because of NDA...

go to wikipidia learn some advanced sounding marketing/statistics/business jargon, something like "multivariate testing" or "gamma distribution", and you should be good to go...

good luck... :thumbsup

Practice your pan skills.

I would assume the postgrad requirement is an effort to corral "smarter" and more "intelligent" daters. Man I know some retarded postgrads, LOL.

Good luck!

Why would I.

You ever been?

i prefer slow dating.

haha ya
which is what exactly?

You better be ready to talk about your "thesis" ... lol

walk by the river. conversation.

nice : )

Tell them the truth, you crashed the postgraded speed dating party. What are they gonna do, kick you out? Woman like honesty and specially an honest bad boy. Out of all the guys in there, you will seem like the most exciting one.

It also depends on your looks in a way, if you are good looking tell them the truth and charm them with your looks and your bad boy ways.

If you look like a perverted psycho that lives on his mother's basement just flat out lie till you die.
