"I hear from many young men that they find it difficult to meet young women in a public setting. In other words, the online culture has destroyed the ability to spontaneously meet strangers. As such, I thought I would share a few words that I used in my youth to meet someone that Bill Ackman (@BillAckman) November 15, 2025"
"Look, I think Bill Ackman is getting at you have two young sons, I have three boys, a lot of kids don't meet face to face and have conversations with the opposite sex because so much of their lives are on their phone. They're just sliding into DMs all the time. They're sending messages, he said. He continued: The actual face-to-face interaction is rare."
Clay Travis celebrated that an awkward pick-up line from billionaire Bill Ackman turned into an online meme that might benefit young men. Travis warned that online culture has reduced spontaneous, face-to-face meetings, with many young people relying on DMs and messaging instead of in-person conversation. The suggested opener, "May I meet you?", was quickly mocked and memed, with people recounting rejections and spamming matches. Travis argued that the memeification of the line could make it socially effective by repackaging awkwardness into an inside joke that lowers social friction.
