OP: Just get off your high horse and get comfortable with the people around you. Culture is EVERYWHERE around you, high-brow and low brow. Bathe in it, revel in it; you might even learn something. When you're feeling high-brow, drop a 'culture bombs' or two. Some girl might smile in recognition, and follow you with your eyes - suddenly seeing you in a whole new light. THAT's the stuff that's gonna get you laid.
But you've gotta make it accessible; you're never going to get anything, anywhere if you've got so much bluster up front you turn them away before you turn them on.
FWIW, I decided I loved my (soon to be wife) not on our first date to the Art Gallery, but when she quoted the Simpsons to me a week later, over chicken wings and beer.
