Just choose a very obscure part of the world and say you’re from there – somewhere where the only thing they produce is coconuts or something. That way you can be sure of what’s going to be thrown at you while flirting. :)

Pedram

I think you can find yourself a smart attractive gal, just look for the intelligence first.

Have you visited Lonely Planet's ThornTree on the web lately? Yes, believe it or not, there are American ladies who have an open real world sense. So instead of posting a dumb conversation with an airhead, try to open yourself to having an intelligent conversation with smart American women. Someday, you'll find one you have an attraction to.

Where did you meet that chick anyways?

Her: Where are you from ?
Me : Persia
Her: Where is Persia ?
Me : It's close to Idaho, we have carrots.
Her: oh, cool.
Me : Want to go catch a movie ?
Her: :)

Asad

Was that a true story, if so, was she stonned?

Keep dating them Pedram, you'll find nice intelligent ones, I promise. Here's some of mine.

Me - I'm from Iran originally.
Her - Really, that's interesting. Were you born there?
Me - Yes I came here in the mid-80's
Her - Wow, interesting. So what do you think about the high price of oil?
Me - ummm.. well we don't have to pay it. We have a special card that gets us a cheap discount.

or the other favorite -

Her - Can you speak Iranian?
Me - Farsi, yes!
Her - Say something, anything.
Me - I always hate this part of the circus act.
Her - Come on just a short sentence.
Me - Be ya ba man be khab emshab va gablazin man bolanshadom bora khone. (yes my farsi is that rudimentary)
Her - What did you say?
Me - Your beauty stuns my ability to form words.

I usually don't comment about personnal chit chats, but darnit, Kambiz is such a GQ, he must be from SO CAL!!

May all your dates end up with both parties not regreting it.

ROFL! Thanks Pedram for the great post. No further comments from me. :)

The problem is that smart ones are most of the time not very attractive, and the pretty ones tend to be somewhat dumb:(

Once a sexy (brunet!) college grad asked me:

When did Saddam replace Komeni?

ahh come on there are smart gorgeous girls out there but those are the ones we all aim for. And yes that was a true story sad as it was.

Ali,

If you only saw me, you'd realize how un-GQ I am. Old jeans and short sleeve shirts in the winter, though I am from So. CAl.

Her: whereabout are you from?
Me: what? [loud electronica in the background and me kinda boozed out]
Her: you from here?
Me: sweatheart, that doesn't really matter where I am from. Let me ask you something, do you like girls?
Her: what? why?
Me: [fucking duh!] you know night is young we could get busy, I mean all three of us. [pointing to a happy go lucky, carefree blonde chick I knew)

And this is how the greatest fantasy of almost all men came true for me [bonde and brunette combo]

Iranians must be lucky, since women in Iran are so logical. Right? Completely different from the ones here.
