As for picking up women on the train, the only time I've ever tried was when some drunk homeless guy was wrecking havoc for the general populace on the train after normal working hours (I think it was like 8 or so at night). The homeless guy approached this girl and started trying to talk to her in his broken speech. She looked thouroughly disguisted with him, so I started up a convo with the homeless guy to distract him until his stop at the end of the free fare zone downtown. Afterwards it seemed to be a nice lead in to a conversation with her, got a phone number! Seems to me it was made easy only due in part by a window of opportunity to talk to her without looking like some guy trolling for his next prey.

Well that's the thing - there's usually just too many people around you to hit on a girl on say the train. I used to have a guy friend who was so smooth with the ladies, he would get numbers left, right and center. The dude was a pro.
Being a girl though, we have to spend more time to really read the girl otherwise she will be offended lol.
