In further research of love in general I have developed a short segment right after the part where I step out from the character and address the audience. This segment is one thats almost a very tongue in cheek jab at today’s hook up culture. I will relay actual pick up lines to the audience that may or may not have worked and then leave. It may cheapen the meaning a little of the show but any lack of integrity I had will be gone when I repeat the word “fuck” five times in the segment about how using the word “it’s not you, it’s me” is a bad way to break up with someone.

Below are actual pick up lines, some amuse me and other disgust me:

If I could rearrange the alphabet I would put my D in U.

Do you live in a corn field? Because I’m now stalking you.

I just shit my pants… Can I get in yours?

 I want to melt in your mouth… Not in your hand.

I have also decided to end this moment with the ever so classily readjusted way of saying “I hate to see you go, but love to watch you leave”. This is probably my most the highest point of my acting in my whole time at this university:

And finally I know that it’s gonna be hard for you to see me go, but I know you’re gonna love watching me leave.

I used this idea of adding pick up lines purely to make light of this hook up culture we as young people have nowadays. We have downloaded apps on our phones like Tinder or Grindr to purely scout for available people who are willing to have sex with you. Long gone are the days of courting your lover to a midnight row boat picnic and under the stars you will profess both of your undying love for one another and make love for 5 minutes. No they are long gone. Today we exchange pictures of our genitals before we even know the other persons name and then arrange a soul crushing hour of mediocre sex with someone we wouldn’t even be interested in if we saw them on a nigh tout. It’s this idea of just having sex on tap that confuses and bewilders me so. Having sex whenever you want actually cheapens any type of love you will ever have because if you want a cuddle, you can just check your app. Everyone is guilty of at least one instance of this happening and that’s completely fine but to have countless notches on your bedpost surely is not a good look? It’s this death of love and sex that I just had to incorporate a element of into the show.
