So there I was, flicking through the New Scientist, when I came across the (now ended) Feedback scientific chat up lines competition. Some of the winning entries:

"You are definitely the woman of my REM phase"

"Would there be any resistance if I asked to take you ohm?"

"Would kissing you increase global warming and damage the Arctic irreversibly, or is it just enough to break the ice?"

"Baby, you must be a start codon, because you're turning me on."

"I love the way you smell so different from my dad."

And my favourite:

"Meiosis?"


So, anyone got any more? How would you chat up a Physicist? A Biologist? A Geologist? An Archaeologist? Do share. Here's my archaeology based bit of lovin' to start things off:

"I'd like to check out your stratigraphy!"
"Tell me, do you see us in the same context?"
"I've got the carbon, you've got the argon: let's date."

And so on.

Well there's the ever popular: "I wish I were your derivative so I could lie tangent to your curves"

For physics ones I'm a bit sparse but perhaps:

"You're magnetic so our attraction is strong: How about a little Grand Unification"

One for geology - "Wanna see my rocks?"

I'm glad I created this love based thread. The flame wars thing is too enticing. I hope nobody takes me *too* seriously.... Lol, we should have a 'suckup' thread somewhere where you can be really, painfully nice to people.

I like "You're so hot, you're denaturing my enzymes."

"Meiosis?", heh. Pure and simple.
I know just one myself, "Are you a fossil? Because I’d like to date you."

"I wish I were your second derivative so I can test your concavity".

A really quite bad one: "I want to find my wavefunction in your potential well"
