""May I meet you before engaging further in conversation?" - a tactic, he claimed, "almost never" got him a negative response. "It inevitably enabled the opportunity for a further conversation," he continued. "I met a lot of really interesting people this way... the combination of proper grammar and politeness was the key to its effectiveness.""
""'May I meet you' is gayer than actually being gay," one person wrote. "'May I meet you?' That's about as top-shelf gay as it gets." Someone else warned: "Don't take dating advice from billionaires, professional athletes or models. Their reality is not yours." There was also a meme of Joe peering through a fence panel from the Netflix series You, suggesting that the "pick-up line" sounded a bit creepy."
Billionaire Bill Ackman, a MAGA donor who endorsed Donald Trump in 2024, posted a dating tip on X/Twitter advising people to ask, "May I meet you before engaging further in conversation?" He said the question almost never produced a negative response and "inevitably enabled" further conversation, attributing success to proper grammar and politeness. He added the tip should work for women seeking men as well as same-sex interactions. The post amassed over 36 million views and prompted a flood of mocking replies, warnings against taking dating advice from wealthy public figures, and memes depicting the line as creepy.
