Does Poetry Work?

[Cannon]

As strictly a way to "move the meter" and gain some ground with a girl or woman. Of course, they'd have to be able to appreciate that first though...but I don't see how it can be BAD though.

Eh? Do you mean bringing up that you're a poet in conversation with women or actually writing poems for women? Bringing up that you write poems is fine and writing poems is good for women as long as the poems ARE good. A friend of mine once received a poem from a guy who liked her, on Valentine's Day. It kick-started a relationship between them.

I love it and it works... But only if I actually like the guy already.

[ghost69]

if she appreciates poetry and things from the heart. some girls don't care. i'm sure more than 50% of women would love it.

[Firiel]

In my opinion, yes, if you like the guy already (or are at least open to being interested).

 

GOOD poetry is really romantic.

 

BAD poetry (as long as the guy really did try) is absolutely adorable.

 

So you don't have to be good at writing in order to melt a girl with a poem. All you really have to do is try.

The thought of poetry being used as a tool to "gain some ground" depresses me.

This makes me sound horrible... but poetry is a big turnoff! I guess if the guy I'm dating wrote me a poem it would be cute because he hasn't written so much as a card in the 1+ year we've been on and off. It's funny because I love to read poetry on my own and I find many of the poems written by my friends beautiful. When poetry comes from a guy I'm dating I get irritated. I dated a guy who would write me a poem everyday (ick!). It's a very sweet gesture, but I'm just not that mushy or corny. Poetry could be nice once in a while if I already loved the guy, but as a way into my pants... not going to work

[Brightest Dark]

I'm not into poetry. It sounds like a sweet gesture. I'd think it was a nice gesture but probably wouldn't appreciate the actual poetry itself. I'd personally prefer a guy to hold me tight and say something to me that came from his heart. I know writing down could be similar in meaning - but it doesn't have the same effect with me. Maybe it depends what the actual words were.

 

If it was romantic poetry, if I hadn't known him too long I might think it was too cheesy.

Most females love poetry but it will work only if they at least like you[attracted] and can help stave off the competition.But only do this if this is who you are....don't do it to impress a chick.She might even ask to see your earlier works,then what will you say?

[stellastrawberry]

Uh, well, I'm sure it works for some women, but it would just make me laugh at you. Sorry. I would find it very hard to take seriously. Same goes for quoting poetry. Ugh.

[Gratsy]

I like good poetry, especially. But I'm such a weak person. Its an automatic way to make me like you even more.

[ghost69]

'roses are red,

violets are blue,

i wrote this poem,

just for you.'

 

 

if she doesn't like that, dump her.

[Sweet Buttabean Jellayroll]

depends on the women, and depends on can you actually write poetry and is it something you desire to use.

 

me myself? i'll be damned to hell if i used poetry to get a woman.

[Gratsy]

'roses are red,

violets are blue,

i wrote this poem,

Lol, you're a doof.
