The new Gotham mag says online dating is out and pick-up lines are in. (Hey, they gotta fill the pages between the party pics with some kind of words.) Tia, over at Night in the Big City, takes us through some recent pickup lines she's been subjected to:

—The offender: Are you a model?

-Don t ever. If the gal in question is a model, she will be offended that you have questioned her modelability. She will either be thinking Excuse me? Have you seen my face? I am God s gift to America or OMG. I totally knew those bite-size burgers at Pop Burger were adding up. Now I have thighs and I don t even look like a REAL model. Spare her. This is not a compliment.

-If she s not a model, she knows it and it comes across like a cheese-ball line. Say it to a girl who is 5 2 and it s the equivalent of asking the guy in the blue button-down if he s a body-builder. Appearances are not that deceiving. Minimize your own stupidity.

—>Significantly Improved: Which agency are you with?
- The mark of the true modelizer. A guy who says this is either in the industry or in the know. Who cares, you ve gotten yourself a good minute of her time. For the pro, you should know the top ten agencies in the city.

What's your one-liner? [Night in the Big City]
