Eventually I realised that I couldn't rely on just my good looks and the cultivated debonaire pose to pick up women. I had to have a schtick. I read that young women were impressed by musicians, liking their 'dangerous' edge, so I borrowed an instrument and began hanging around in bars and cafes with it. I couldn't play anything so hoped no-one would ask me to. Strangely no one did.
It was only later that I learned that women liked jazz musicians and none of them played the French horn. More later.
This has never worked with the double bass.
