"When one commenter wrote that he tried the line on a girl at a coffee shop and "she said no," Ackman wrote, "Try again." "You need not fear being rejected," Ackman wrote. "Wrong girl for you. Her loss, your gain." When another user suggested that Ackman had found success with it because he was wealthy, he responded, "I didn't have two nickels then.""
"Perhaps unsurprisingly, the post quickly turned into a big meme fest. Nick O'Neill, a crypto enthusiast known for his joke persona, tried it out on the subway and in the park. (Both attempts appeared unsuccessful.) "Attention, ladies of New York City, may I meet you?" he asked a crowded subway car. "Should there be a line that forms, please line up single file," he added."
A suggested opening line for meeting women in public was 'May I meet you?' The suggestion generated a wide range of reactions online, from sincere endorsements to meme-ified mockery. Some individuals reported trying the line in public settings, with mixed results and at least one rejected attempt followed by advice to persist. Defenders framed rejection as harmless and a sign of wrong fit, while skeptics questioned social awkwardness and whether status influenced outcomes. The suggestion spurred public attempts and joke performances, including unsuccessful subway and park trials, turning the idea into a viral meme trend.
