Getting hit on at the polls is a great way to make voting even more uncomfortable.
Best to stick to polite chit chat, and otherwise avoid bothering people when they're voting.
Seems to me that if you're canny about your polite chitchat while standing in line, you could segue to "you wanna get a drink sometime?" after you both come out of the polling place.
Which leads me to remind the ladies, just because he was all supportive of women's bodily autonomy in line, doesn't mean you can be sure how he actually voted in the booth!
Which is why so many women hate talking to men they don't know: there's so often that request for a date after even the most innocuous small talk.
Yes I guess that's true, and it doesn't even help if he'd be chill about accepting a "no thanks," because she can't know that in advance, and so many guys aren't. I guess there's always the possibility of running into each other in a bar or similar situation where they could assume meeting someone might be a goal of being there. "Didn't I meet you when we were both voting for Harris?" would be a change from the usual lines.
It's like trying to find an SO at a comic convention. Just enjoy the show and be happy you've found like-minded nerds.
"I hate these polling places, they're such meat markets."
This may be the most brilliant get-out-the-vote tactic I've ever seen.
Nah, cause the hot girls won't care about republicans.
Wait a second...
Lol, thanks. Kinda wish I'd have thought of it sooner and made some kind of graphic based on those old ads.
So, uh, vote here often?
"Every 2 years.....you?"
You really know how to work the polls
Anything to get out to vote. Made me laugh. Good day for it.
Same reason I go to the dentist. Dental hygienists are hot as hell.
Edit:
Why is that?
They like oral
Yeah. But they’re spitters.
Personal preference. I guess I'm just into scrubs and latex in my mouth 🤷🏻♂️
I thought the punchline was going to be "to get drilled".
Punchline requires joke, lol
Okay, they thought the joke would be “get drilled”
I get that; I just wasn't joking
I used to have a roommate who was in dental school. He said getting dates was incredibly easy because everybody realized it was the last time they would be in a large community of single people their age who were also intelligent and had similar interests and earning potential. And indeed, he went out with probably 20 different women that year. And he was incredibly picky and would write them off after one date - she's too loud, too quiet, doesn't drink, drinks too much, swears too much, smokes... Right at the end of the year he found the one, then had to go off and spend 2 years doing public health dentistry in another state to pay for his school loan. After 2 months he found another the one there and dumped the local one. So okay, I'm sure that gripping saga was worth telling lol.
Hm. Hm. Mhm. If I'm understanding you correctly, you're saying that all dental hygienists are whores?

Mine never shut up. Why was my appointment booking an hour?
That's part of it for me. I love listening to idle chatter while my teeth get worked over with implements. And nitrile on gums is better than a deep tissue massage.
Any single dental hygienists near BGKY hmu please
Mine want a two way conversation. And I have stuff to do.
Just go
"Guh. Uh-huh. Mumblemumblemumble"
Just got back from voting and I was looking for an opportunity to mention how attractive the lady that checked me in was.
was she checking you out, too?
Sadly, no.
Was she under 70?
They were all ancient ladies with curly grandma-fro hairdos at ours
Turn voting into speed dating
Get out of the shower, democracy needs you.
Super Earth calls for our aid
........but wash your pitts first.
Okay I've been voting by mail for years, but if I ever have to go to the actual polls again I want to walk up to somebody working there and say, "We've been trying to get in touch with you about your extended warranty."
