Being an Ex-Pat helps
Well, I'm not exactly beating the fairer sex away with a shitty stick, but I do alright for myself.

I'm presently living abroad, so going out and about here, I'm constantly told "OOoh, that accent is lovely" and "You sound very proper".

Both of which make me laugh like a drain as I'm from Notts, not an area associated with poshness.

I've received everything from a casual snog to full on nights of debauchery that would make Crowley blush..

So, chatting up women? Just move abroad, and you'll at least be somewhat interesting due to your foreign-ness.

Length has never been a problem.

Lived in Las Vegas for 3 years...
It was the only time in my life I was constantly chatted up (and not just by women, but hey it's still flattering right?)

I just had to order a pint at the bar and the girls were all over me. Splendid.

I think it was my pretentious overuse of words like splendid that did the trick actually.

I was once in New Hampshire. USA
and I was dining alone, and flirting with the waitress a little. We were getting along good, when she said... "we've put this song on for you".

I strained my ears, but couldn't make it out. Confused, I had to ask..

"It's that song about the kangaroos.. you know, where you come from".

I had to inform her that, whilst I had seen most things in Salford, Kangaroos were not one them.

No?
I went to uni at Salford, and pretty sure I saw some mad boxing thing hopping down the street to chase and kill me on many occasions.

That reminds me of a t-shirt I saw in Vienna..
"Hey American - did you see any kanagaroos in Austria?"
