Rynski's Dating Game - Dating tips, tricks and weirdo stories from someone who has had plenty of strange relationships

Pickup lines may be corny and bland – but they can sound like Shakespearean sonnets compared to a few other ways folks have tried to pick up dates.

Sheridan Gomez/TPD photo

Actually, we’re not sure if Cholla High School monitor Sheridan Gomez, 26, was trying to pick up the student to whom he sent a photo of his genitalia, but we do know it got him in trouble, according to a news release from the Tucson Police Department.

Gomez evidently befriended this student and one day last week she gave him her cell phone number. By the next evening, he was sending her text messages – which culminated with the very fine photo.

For some reason the school officials didn’t like this and called police.

Gomez was booked into Pima County Jail on one count of furnishing harmful items to minors, a class four felony.

Yes, unwanted photos of a school monitor’s privates could definitely be considered harmful, scarring anyone of any age for life.

Gomez may be an extreme case of trying to get dates through rude and crude behavior, but there are others.

Cars often whiz by with its occupants screaming, “Hey baby,” “Yo baby,” or some other variation thereof. Of course when you either ignore or rebuff them, their banter turns ugly and all of a sudden you are a five-letter word who should go four-letter word yourself.

A man once beeped at me in a Brooklyn supermarket parking lot so I would turn to see him sitting in his car masturbating.

Do these dudes honestly think women are going to find this alluring and run over and fall in love? Or are they just sickos getting their kicks?

Whatever the case, I’d much rather have someone ask my zodiac sign.

wb-logolilWhat do you think?

Have you been the victim of rude and crude behavior which was supposed to serve as a pickup?

Did you fall for it?

What’s the stupidest way to pick up a date?

    Sheridan Gomez is a child predator. I wonder what kind of background check they do on school monitors, if any. 

    It seems pretty common these days to send pics of private parts. I find it kind of funny actually. Every guy that does this must think he’s got something special.
    To the guys that think it’s hot to send penis pictures, unless you have a third testicle, some really cool piercings, or are a monster, they all the look same in a picture. Is that true, ladies?!!? Some random penis picture will do absolutely nothing to make you look better.

    • Jennatoolz

      Hahah agreed, azmouse. It’s really not that that sexy to see a picture of a penis…in fact it has the opposite effect on me. If someone were to send a pic of their junk to me, they’d never get a response…ever. That’d be the last of it.

      Of course, I was the accidental victim of a penis pic. I bought a used cell phone a while back (because I desparately needed one), and the person didn’t reset the phone, and failed to erase certain pictures…soooo…yeah. Gag reflex.

      • azmouse

        LOL!! That’s creepy!

        Now, send me a picture of a guy with a vacuum cleaner, or cooking in a kitchen, then he’ll be looking really hot!

    • Rynski

      I agree with both of you. creepy, icky and definitely not something that is going to make me attracted to someone.

    azmouse, so you would find a 3rd testicle alluring? And, what kind of “monster” are you talking about?   (Just kidding. I know what you meant–I think)

    • azmouse

      LOL!
      Hello Dom,
      A third testicle is not my idea of alluring, but certainly unique. That would make it stand out in a crowd, so to speak. :)

  • Dom

    Yes, indeed! In today’s economy the feller could stand to make some coin being in that configuration!!

  • radmax

    Well, they say a picture is worth a thousand words…(kidding) I don’t see the point. I know I wouldn’t find it alluring if my gal sent me indiscreet snaps of herself, quite the opposite, and I know she would feel I was a weirdo if I did.(which I wouldn’t even if she didn’t!) Nope, I don’t get it.
    Must an act of perversion or desperation, I guess, but hey, whatever floats your boat, as long as both parties are into it, who cares!

    I voted “other” – invitations to church “socials”.
    I’m a little unclear as to the research behind your assertion that a photo of genitals scars a person for life. I would hope that human beings were resilient enough not to suffer severe damage simply by seeing another human being unclothed.
    Compared with seeing naked men hung from crosses and bleeding .. well, ’nuff said.
     

    • azmouse

      I agree that I personally would find it rather humorous if someone sent me a picture like that.

    • Rynski

      i didn’t say ANY photo of genitals nec. scars folks for life, but
      unwanted photos of a school monitor’s privates could definitely be considered harmful, scarring anyone of any age for life.
      i conducted my researching by asking 100 random students, ages 14 through 18, if they would indeed become scarred if a school monitor sent them genital photos.

        Ahh yes – conclusive scientific evidence – just the sort of evidence we send people to prison for ;)

      p.s. liked you church socials coment – thanks for laugh.

  • koreyk

    You mean to tell me that women actually DON’T like receiving pictures of men’s junk, or getting hooted at as they walk by?

    That may explain why I haven’t had a date in a while!

  • tiponeill

    I have it on good authority that not all “junk” is equal – an alternative explanation ;)

  • koreyk

    The creepiness factor has a lot to do with how one reacts to unsolicited attention.  I loved it in my younger days when women hooted at me because it was so unusual and unexpected.  I even felt flattered when when a gay guy made a polite pass at me.  Thanks but no thanks.  

    Ah, creepiness.  My first job out of college was in Green Valley, and a large part of my commute was on I-19.  One afternoon going home, a Cadillac driven by a big fat cigar chomping bald guy in suit and tie pulled in front of me and then slowed way down.  I passed him and he repeated the process.  When He passed me the third time, I realized his “cigar” was really his tongue.  Needless to say, I was rather creeped out.  He then signaled right for the upcoming off ramp and motioned for me to follow him.  I put some distance between us, but signalled and pretended to follow him.  When he was past the point of return on the ramp, I swerved back onto I-19.

    Penis pictures may not be the thing to send, but I am a little sad that I came along too early to have anyone send me breast pictures on a cell phone.
