This probably only works if you're Richard Feynman.

#22Definitely giving this a go on Friday night.

I doubt the girls in the bar knew anything about physics, or who he was. If you try asking a stranger in an average bar who Richard Feynman is, I am predicting a bunch of blank stares and trying to guess something along the lines of "actor?"
I think dwwoelfel meant "famously charismatic" not "well-known physicist"

#24I think it works because it takes money out of the equation.
There's a line in a song: "I've got dozens of friends and the fun never ends, that is as long as I'm buying". If the man is spending money to get her attention, how can he not feel like "she wouldn't be here if I didn't have money" and how can she not feel on some level like a commodity being purchased? Your real friends are the ones who enjoy your company without you spending money to garner their attention. It seems to me your real lovers will be much the same in that regard.

#25From: http://www.kurzweilai.net/articles/art0504.html?m=3 "The charming side of Richard helped people forgive him for his uncharming characteristics. For example, in many ways Richard was a sexist. Whenever it came time for his daily bowl of soup he would look around for the nearest "girl" and ask if she would fetch it to him. It did not matter if she was the cook, an engineer, or the president of the company. I once…
You cut off the quote. Why?
Here is the rest:
"On the other hand, he is the only one who ever explained quantum mechanics to me as if I could understand it." That was the essence of Richard's charm.

#26This is one of my favorite quotes from him: "The female mind is capable of understanding analytic geometry... The difficulty may just be that we have never yet discovered a way to communicate with the female mind. If it is done in the right way, you may be able to get something out of it." – Richard Feynman http://www.phy.ilstu.edu/pte/310content/nature/feynman.html
Unfortunately, judging from the context, that wasn't even a joke.
Re: Richard Feynman on getting laid: "You Just Ask Them?"
#27This seems to have happened in the late 1930s or the early 1940s (he says "while I was working on the bomb".)
From what I've heard, the US was very conservative at that time; girls & women in general did not have sex before marriage. And additionally was contraception widely available at that time?
The sexual revolution happened in the 60s and 70s. So, this does not make any sense.
Can someone enlighten me?

Re: Richard Feynman on getting laid: "You Just Ask Them?"
#30Classy title. I can't understand why women don't feel comfortable in our industry....
Could you explain your comment?
Is there something sexist about getting laid, or using the phrase "getting laid"? Because I know lots of regular women who both use that term and enjoy getting laid.
This is a not a male/female thing; this is a conflict of attitudes about sex.
If someone gets bent out of shape because they hear people talking about getting laid they seriously need to grow up.
Or get laid.
