Prop ring? How about " I agree that person is attractive" something like that wont work? Lying that your married?? How about if your hired? you cant keep that a secret forever. I’m sure if you dont say something like " i would love to stare at the top of her head" your in the clear
Personally I think it’s really awkward to comment on anyone’s appearance in a formal setting, especially with someone you just met. I was sitting in a meeting today in a conference room that had a glass wall and I swear there was an endless parade of young female analysts, research assistants, secretaries, whatever, walking by that would put akanska to shame. All the other guys in the room’s heads were swiveling in sync like they were watching a tennis match as the chicks walked by while I tried my best to keep my eyes on the presenter. Totally unprofessional to oggle in this scenario I think.

So, does Miami still have a football team? I mean, considering its consistent humiliation at the hands of the boys from Blacksburg and all…
probably the lamest topic ever

And how many national championships do the Hokies have? ZERO???

Anything that could be of interest to the person’s own interest. People LOVE to drone on about themselves.
how about commenting about their clothing… “Is that saville row?” “…nah, its some bespoken in Hong Kong” --------------------------- “…thats a sharp tie” “thanks, i got it from WalMart”
