The internet has answers to almost any question under the sun. Trouble is, not only are most of the answers wrong, but a lot of the questions themselves are, well, pretty fucking terrible.
Consider the case of this fellow, who turned to the commenters on AskMen.com with a query whose answer was already contained within the question itself.
Dude, the women didn’t answer the question “besides a warm mouth and a vagina, what would you bring to the table?” because you asked them the question “besides a warm mouth and a vagina, what would you bring to the table?”
If you’re asking a question so misogynistic and dehumanizing that it repeatedly causes the women you’re dating to no longer speak with you, the problem isn’t the women, it’s the question — or, more to the point, the person asking the question.
Hope that helps!

No? That doesn’t quite mesh with his assertion that some “just stop talking to (him) altogether.” Is he living in silence with them from then on, until he decides to dump them? Call me skeptical…
So this is how to speedrun not getting dates.
@Cat Mara
Must own that shirt right now. I don’t care what my bank account looks like, I have the perfect high rise fishnets for that.
@Lainy
That would be so fun. What kind of shoes would you do? Also I love her hair in the photo!
Your outfit would look great and shut up the jerks too.
Hence my ? emoji. I assume he considers the end of a particular relationship as being a mutual decision, and hence not the sole result of his actions alone (i.e. not “driving off”).
@Stacy
Probably my platform boots. I like boots better with fishnet then heals.
@ Weird (and tired of trumplings) Eddie
I suspect you have Scotsmen in mind. As far as I know, green kilts have more of an association with Ireland.
@ Lainy
Glad he wore his kilt just because he wanted to. May even be cooler (temperature-wise) at this point in the summer.
Irish kilts are always a single color, never plaid, most often green or an off-orange colour referred to as “saffron”, like this gentleman’s:

(There’s some controversy surrounding whether kilts were worn to any great extent in Ireland in the Middle Ages or earlier. The tradition of wearing them in recent times seems to have arisen in the late 19th/ early 20th centuries, possibly as some kind of Pan-Gaelic thing to strengthen ties between Scotland and Ireland)
Quite possibly the worst and most sickening chat up line used on me, when I was still trying to fake it and live as a cis women that is, was whrn I was in my mid twenties and a guy in his fifties was trying to pick me up. I had seen him before and had expressed his interest in me, but as I am asexual I had just brushed him off.
This time, he had brought his pretty, 18 year old daughter with him, and I wondered what was going on, at first I thought maybe she was his young girlfriend.
He approached me and beckoned her over.
He asked me if I thought she was attractive. She remained silent.
What he told me was that he sired good quality kids and he wanted to show me one of his offspring to prove it! He said if I wanted to have a good healthy baby, I should pick him for the father. He has a lot of kids by different women as it happens so it makes me wonder if this tactic worked?
