I'm 5'7, 145 lbs, international student with a near perfect fake American accent. I found that most people are taller than me in the club, so I figured I could open girls shorter than me by opening with "Whew! Finally someone my own size. Hi, I am..."

I was wondering how this kind of self-deprecating humor comes across in the bar/nightclub atmosphere where physical appearances play a big role?

Suggestions on similar or alternative openers welcome
