...your big wallet and high credit line. Bet many women will really love you for it...

Bill Ackman’s “may I meet you” dating advice became a meme, and people say the line actually works

Billionaire Bill Ackman launched a new dating meme with his weekend story about going up to women to ask, "May I meet you?"

The X post by the hedge fund manager initially was mocked for promoting this strange and awkward phase, with some calling him out of touch due to his age and wealth.

But as the memes spread, some people began to report success with the phrase on dating apps.

How Bill Ackman hits on women
Ackman, 59, posted the fateful tweet on Nov. 15 for the benefit of young men with no game.

"I hear from many young men that they find it difficult to meet young women in a public setting," he wrote. "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 I found compelling."

"I would ask: 'May I meet you?' before engaging further in a conversation. I almost never got a No." The billionaire credited "politeness" and "proper grammar" for the line's success. After all, everyone knows all the ladies love a grammar nerd.

The straightforwar d approach can be effective, but the odd nature of the phrase made the post go viral, with over 35 million views so far.

Making it into a meme was as simple as pairing it with images that convey social awkwardness. All those photos of men talking to women who are clearly uninterested or uncomfortable? "MAY I MEET YOU?"
