This probably only works if you're Richard Feynman.
You're probably better off asking this sort of thing after conversing with them for a bit so you don't come off as a creep. As long as you've established your bona fides you won't, especially if you say it with a smile.
I think I got one rejection, and her response was more of a good natured, laughing 'that sounds fun, but i shouldn't' variety.
It shows that you're not a wimp and that you're willing to experiment, both good things.
And they're all human, you know. They realize that people do sexual things, even successful startup founders. And PG and JL have a baby. I'll let you draw your own conclusions based on that.
Ah, the wonders of in vitro fertilization.

edit: ok, i finished reading the whole thing and that is absolutely hilarious. I have a friend who writes copy for those 'Learn how to train your parrot in 21 days' eBook sales websites (and makes obscene gobs of money doing it). He writes EXACTLY like this. It's uncanny.
My gorgeous female Russian biochemist friend (no, you cannot have her phone number) is currently reading this next to me and thinks it's absolutely hilarious; she says this has worked on her before.
Bravo and well played. Seriously.
Confidence is key, but there is a difference between a confident stud and a confident creep.
It is good to play with expectations, to acknowledge them without actually "acknowledging" them. A creep wouldn't have the confidence to let this play out; they have to confirm that the other person is aware of the "acknowledgment" being played out. It's like some guy saying "did you get it? Did you get the joke?" Except the creep is saying this with everything he does. His body language, tone, talking speed, and even with his language.
A "confident creep" is a contradiction.
My "confident creep" has inner confidence in his abilities (he might even think of himself as a god among men), but he cannot correctly project his confidence (though in his mind, he is projecting it correctly). He can drop any empathy and ask such a question without being nervous, but his style, dress, conversation, etc. are so awkward, it fails.
Point being: Confidence is not the only thing that matters. You actually need social skills.
(as an aside your first line is bad in terms of a "shock and awe" opener. The second line is better not because of the "unduly offended" (that waters it down) but the "would you")
If you asked them to sleep with you then success rate would shoot down (guaranteed; I tried it for a while just to see)
I always wondered how he did it so I asked him and he told me his pickup line.
He said:
"I go up to a girl and I start off with saying hi, introducing myself as Ed, I then say to them this line"
"Look, girls are into honesty right? Well the truth is I have a big d!&k and want to put it in you"
He told me that the secret to it is that you have to sell it like it was the most normal thing to say in the world.
As you can imagine, I was completely stunned, but he swore it was the truth.
It's a little more crude than feynman's article, but the principle is similar.
I think it's also worthy to note that the origin makes a huge difference. If you e.g. have an underwear model trying that line on a woman, it will no doubt succeed more often than if a stereotypical truck driver delivered it in exactly the same way.
He's a shoot first ask questions later sort of guy - will never betray a moment of doubt, I think that's what makes him successful at both life and women.
But as I alluded to in my previous comment, all the womenizers I have known have had more than their fair share of skanky chicks because after all was said and done, they were pretty skanky themselves. There is usually a certain type of woman who will go for "Look, girls are into honesty right? Well the truth is I have a big d!&k and want to put it in you" and I've found by and large that those aren't the most interesting kind. My strategy has been quality over quantity and it's worked out pretty well so far.
See, I would have thought so too, but Ed is about 5'4", bad teeth and a heavy smoker. One thing in his favour though, he was a snappy dresser as he wore lots of designer clothing.
I honestly thought he was joking but we were hanging out in Melbourne one evening at a pub. I decided to test him out, pointed out someone and said he should pick her up. Obviously I couldn't hear what he was saying from a distance, but you could visibly see where he dropped the bombshell (the expression on her face) and he sold it like it was the most normal thing in the world.
I honestly just thought it was perhaps Ed, because one data point does not a trend make... seems it might not be so.
With an opener like that, what matters is attitude and confidence. If you deliver it completely normal, as if you couldn't possibly imagine it could be offensive, then most likely they will just start by laughing it off or throwing some test in your face, expecting you to fall apart.
If you show you can handle what they throw back at you, you've both demonstrated confidence, that you're the kind of guy that expects women to fall over themselves to sleep with you and so you really are honest and can say what you like, and you've made it clear to them from the start that you're after sex; you're "dangerous", not some potential guy to amuse them while they have a few drinks.
Sexual intent, confidence and the perception that you're very successful with women and don't need to by shy about what you're after means far more than looks.
Personally I'd expect that line to work better on "good quality" girls, actually. Especially pretty girls that know they look good.
If you try it on girls that don't look good enough or that seem insecure etc., you might very easily come off as thinking they're easy.
With really beautiful and/or confident girls you're more likely for them to expect guys to be shy and deferential or just plain creepy.
Of course the chance of coming off as creepy with a line like that if not delivered with the perfect attitude is pretty high.

Uh huh.

Uh? So if a pretty girl is more used to guys being shy or creepy and you deliver the line in question, which way do you think she's more likely to interpret the approach? You then go on to say that in any case, the chances of coming off as creepy while using such a line are pretty high.

Well that really depends on how ugly you are, doesn't it. :) If you're average to good looking, then yeah I can see (and have personally seen) how attitude makes a difference. If you look like you fell off the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down, then good luck with that awesome confidence you're exuding. I suspect it will be just you and your hand tonight, as a lady once sung.
Sounds to me like you're more working off how you wish things were as opposed to how they are. It seems pretty self evident in my mind that no matter how the line in question is delivered, there will be girls who respond positively and girls who do not. The point I'm trying to make is that it's more about the girl than it is the opening line. How inebriated the girl is would make a large difference to the outcome of the interaction and at the risk of repeating myself, in my experience the girls who would respond positively to that line generally are not the ones I've wanted to sleep with.
It's another thing entirely if we're talking about using this line or something similar on a woman who you've know for a while and who has had a chance to get used to your personality and sense of humour. I think there might be a far greater chance of a positive response from a "quality girl" in this case. But this isn't what we're talking about here.
In the end, I guess you can test your expectations for yourself. Let me know how it goes. :) And hey, this is HN and I have no studies or statistics I can cite to prove my point so we'll just have to agree to disagree on this one.

Strange huh?
it somehow duped and I was unable to remove it myself due to noprocrast kicking in.
