Tell us your biggest successes and most embarrassing failures. Not that we're after new chat-up lines, or anything.

I've always found (well by my experience anyway which is quite embarrasingly a lot!) that a chat-up 'line' has to be delivered in several parts.
Now I'm no model, but I'd say I've got plenty of knowledge so here's my take on this.

When Girls say it's not about looks they're lying! but you may look good to one and ugly to another, the point I'm trying to make is that you can't go steaming in with a chat-up line and expect it to work (unless you're a: female or b: very lucky/fit/funny c: they're pissed), you have to pick your target carefully, watch them for a few mins and see if you can pick up what they're talking about (hard in a club but you get the gist) see if anyone you know is talking to them, that gives you a really easy route in, unfortunately this is rarely the case so you have to play a different hand.

I've used many tacts of getting somewhere, but my most successful example is:

Bounce (not like Tigger, just in a non-threatening kind of way) past them and say 'hi', that's it, just 'hi' and then bugger off again, leave it for a bit and bounce past again, saying 'having a good night' (or similar) then go again, suddenly you're not the annoying chat-up twat, you're the bloke who's out having fun and are just being friendly, over the course of a few hours bouncing past every so often you'll almost be old friends... and that's when you don't bugger off. This has 'worked' on many *Cough occasions

Another good one which has also worked a treat is chat up the not as attractive friend, it's a very old one but believe me it does work, you can almost see the better looking one seething and you never know, you might find you're not so shallow after all and get somewhere with the one you started taking to.

I'd also like to say that the above 'worked' about 10yrs ago back in my slutty days so not sure if times have changed much, these days I find just looking uninterested seems to do the trick.

There's a book by Neil Strauss (who's a "pro" PUA) and one of his tactics is to "target" one of the girl you're interested in's slightly less attractive friends and completeeeeeely ignore. She does indeed get very jealous, wonder why you're not talking to her as every man usually does and BAM! supposedly you're in.

I don't think this works on guys though sadly. ]: Although I'm yet to try it.

A pro PUA? sounds fun!
A mate of mine overtook my tally 2yrs ago by becoming a club rep, cheating I feel, but he's now hit over 400!! I bet he'd give Neil a run for his money.

But don't you then just end up with a 20-stone munter who wants to jump your bones?

Looking disinterested is my field of expertise!! Doesn't always work though.
Drives them nuts wondering why you're not interested, but then they often bugger off to find someone who is.
