Pick Up Lines

Pick up lines work more often than you think. Especially when executed correctly. Why do pick-up lines work? First off, they mostly involve direct compliments. . .women love those. Even better, it’s something they can use to tell their friends and make them jealous.

The best pick up line I have EVER heard happened five years ago, and came from an unlikely source – a gnarly, panhandling bum. One afternoon I was walking down a street notorious for aggressive panhandlers and was about to approach a prime specimen shaking his change cup at me. He begins with the typical, “Excuse me miss. . . “ I avert my attention. Then he says, “Do you have a pair of sunglasses?” I look at him, puzzled at the unusual question, and shake my head no. And then the clincher: “. . .because you are blinding me with your beauty.”

It was unexpected, it was funny, and I might have even considered dropping my number in his cup if I didn’t think it would make all the flies jealous. Bravo. Following are some examples of the good, the bad and the ugly when it comes to pick-up lines:

The Good
Good pick-up lines are unique, memorable and amusing. Often the question/answer pick-up format works well because they draw the girl in and make her curious. Some examples:

1. Do you have any raisins? No? How about a date?
2. Girl, you better have a license, cuz you are driving me crazy!
3. If you were a booger I'd pick you first.

The Bad
Bad pick-up lines are used more often than Paris Hilton. They also have a distinct stench of cheesiness. Some examples of the lame and overused:

1. Are your legs tired, because you've been running through my mind all day long.
2. Do you have a Bandaid? Because I just scraped my knee falling for you.
3. If I could rearrange the alphabet, I'd put U and I together.

The Ugly
Ugly pick-up lines are bad because they are sexually or physically explicit. Thus making the deliverer not only a loser, but a creepy, slimy loser. Some examples:

1. Hey baby, you've got something on your butt: my eyes.
2. Do you believe in the hereafter? Well, then I guess you know what I'm here after.
3. Are you a parking ticket? (What?) You got fine written all over you.

The key to hooking up is not a line- for the love of God No! It is placing yourself in a situation where women are open, ready and willing to being picked up!
Hitting on women in public places like school, the library, the store etc. gets you blown off like lint, 9 times out of 10! Usually it is nothing personal - The reason is that she has had no time to wrap her mind around the idea of dealing with you or getting hit on! and her mind is in a different place just then. and what do we do when somebody throws us for a loop? WARNING! WARNING! Danger young will Robinson! REJECT! How desperate would a woman be to just go with any guy from outa nowhere?

Use the net and your local newspaper etc to go to functions where people hook up. And dating sites are the greatest boon to dating since the condom. As for hitting on women "cold", been there, done that, paid the price and had my ego squashed like a popsicle on the freeway. Go where the amenable women are, whether its a party, speed dating, or the good ol' internet.

personally, i think pick up lines are ridiculous. the majority of us females find them corny, if not repulsive.

Posted by: penni at September 20, 2005 01:11 AM

pick up lines if not creepy but funny just make great ice breakers... which is what this article is suggesting. Hence, Penni is a turd.

This comment is for dan. My line is just that i'm commenting via my pda on wireless from a shitty motel and i know that gives you a boner cuz you're a geek.

Pickup lines are pointless. i suggest using lines that lead into a conversation. eg "who lies more? men or women?" then go into a discussion about that. share funny stories you've had relating to this. eg " my gf found another womans thong in my room so i lied and said it was mine! haha"

Posted by: at September 20, 2005 09:23 PM

This site is so far off base its not even funny.

Men, do the exact opposite of everything they suggest here and you'll be just fine!

Posted by: Matt at September 21, 2005 01:49 AM

Matt, how can it be off base? Its written by a bunch of women. So it's what women want. And what works from a women's perspective. Are you suggesting that single guys listen to some dumbass like you over the women their trying to score. Let me guess, you're one of those handsome guys that always has a girl and in fact has one right now and never has to worry about getting laid so with all that sexually fulfilled free time you have you sit around thinking about how you can sabotage other guys opportunity to get laid. You can only disagree with points made on this site if you have a 100% legitimate vagina. Do you have a vagina Matt?

There's only one way to resolve this Matt and Jennifer. Mud wrestling.

Posted by: at September 21, 2005 09:25 AM

PIck up lines are useful in that they offer an initial reaction. But if you are going to use one of the lines mentioned above *cough*dave*cough* you better have something to back it like a conversation. DOn't expect to use a line and have the girl be like oh my god fuck me now

Posted by: dom^2 at September 21, 2005 11:06 AM

My favorite pick up line I got from this site. "Do you have a date? (No) How about a raisin?" For some reason, all I got was a strange look when I used it.

Posted by: AJ at September 21, 2005 02:41 PM

Pick-Up Line:

f**k me if i'm wrong, but is your name belinda?

Posted by: at September 22, 2005 10:55 PM

Hey! "If you were a booger, I'd definitely pick you first." Ok now I have a mission in life. I HAVE to try out that pickup line.

Posted by: Paul at September 22, 2005 10:57 PM

Here's a no-fail, very classy pickup line:
"You've got beautiful hair. It'd be even prettier with a wad of my jizz in it." It's totally James Bond smooth. Oh, yeah.

Posted by: at September 22, 2005 10:59 PM

Do you believe in love at first sight? Or should I walk by again?

That usually gets a laugh.

Guys, You just have to remember that women are more afraid to talk to men than we are to talk to women. Just keep eye contact, be sincere and get a smile out of them and they are yours...

in response to the post made by Jennifer P. (ScoreHer Squad) at September 21, 2005 09:19 AM,:

i just have to question what you mean by "100% legitimate vagina". Are you trying to imply that just because you have a vagina you know how to pick up women? because you are one? while, theoretically, this sounds like a solid argument, it is a common logical phallacy. i'd rather not go into detail about logical phallacies, if you or any of your readers are interested, please look it up elsewhere, because my main point it to try to clarify the better ways to pick up girls.

What people say, and what people want are two different things. In this case, a girl may be FLATTERED by the fact this guy said "because you are blinding me with your beauty.” however, it doesn't mean she wants to actually FUCK this guy. there's a difference. forgive my lewd comment, but i used vulgarity to emphasize a point.

Now, pick up lines could work, but NOT cheesey cliche' ones. BE original. BE different. BE creative, and girls will want to date you.

Well, no...it's written by 5 women.

Out of approximately 3,000,000,000.

Or, in the U.S., about 300,000,000.

So...definitive? NOT.

Actually, it's spelled 'fallacy'.

Man:Hi, nice dress'
Girl: why thank you
Man: yes it would look good on the floor next to my bed in the morning..

a comeback reply for man when rejection ocurrs when asking for a dance with a hot ,arrogant girl.
Man: would you like to dance
Girl: uhh, NO !!
Man: oh thats ok,I got to go take a dump anyways.

Posted by: Numnuts™ at September 25, 2005 07:03 PM

Matt, how can it be off base? Its written by a bunch of women. So it's what women want.

It's what the women who make this site want.

Best pick up ever? A guy on the street looked at me top to bottom and then clapped his hands like there was nothing else he could do.

Posted by: Samanta at September 26, 2005 12:28 AM

Wet your finger in a non-creepy way. Then touch her shoulder, then your shoulder and immediately comment:
"Why don't you and I get out of these wet clothes?"

or, more serious:

(assuming you've never met her)"Haven't I met you somewhere before?" (she looks intently at you, make sure you are staring into her eyes apparently waiting for an answer) she says something like "No, I dont think so", then follow up "Oh, could've sworn I did, my name is ****"

Posted by: at September 26, 2005 11:13 AM

So a good pickup line is:

"Girl, you better have a license, cuz you are driving me crazy!"

And a bad pickup line is:

"Do you have a Bandaid? Because I just scraped my knee falling for you."

Can someone tell me what makes the first line so much better than the second?

Posted by: Moomoohead at September 26, 2005 12:22 PM

pick up line (best on ever)

Man:Are your parents retarted

Women: No why

Man: because you look like a special girl

Note: this line dosnt work if her parents really are retarted

Posted by: cody at September 26, 2005 10:22 PM

I have to agree with "Concerned Reader" on a number of his points.

I've found, over time, that advice from women should usually be ignored 80% of the time. As Matt said, what a person says they want always isn't what they desire.

It's been pointed out in previous 'articles' that women: a) love drama b) would rather go out with an 'asshole' (their term - btw, Jennifer P., it's 'they're' not 'their' - also, I think your post was rather reactionary. maybe you know that guy?)

You have to read between the lines. Women don't want someone that does what they want all the time. That'd be a lap dog. They want a person that will challenge them and make them feel like they need to earn YOUR affections. They want something that they're not sure they can have. Something they're not sure they can control. They want mystery...which means the unexpected - or things that surprise them. Following all of their advice gives them what they want to hear - the opposite of what they want.

Flattering a woman doesn't work unless they already want you or are attracted to you. Guys coming up to them with shitty (and, yes, every line posted here is incredibly juvenile, uncreative and detrimental to said purpose) pick up lines isn't going to make a difference. If they've made eye contact with you from across the room, I'd recommend a confident, "Hi, I'm XXXX. What's your name?” Or perhaps order a drink while standing next to her and start making small talk person to person and not boy to girl.

The most important thing to remember is that it's just a girl. That's all. They're people just like you with the same insecurities, desires and weaknesses. Just be yourself and show genuine interest. Ask questions you want to know the answers to. If they're not interested, move on. Nothing personal in rejection when meeting people, just practical reality.

"nice legs, what time do they open?"

Posted by: at September 28, 2005 03:43 PM

I've always achieved 100% success with:

"Hi, my name is (your name) and I just have to meet you. You have such an open, sweet face, and I wanted to meet you".

Delivered with a sincere smile and deep voice with a slow cadence, this line never fails. Never. But like the tiniest bit of yolk in the beaten egg whites, the tiniest bit of insincerity will ruin it.

Some lines are just so whack, if delivered with the right amount of humor they just might work:

"Girl, you so fine I could drink a tub of your bathwater!"

"What would you like for breakfast tomorrow morning? My chef will need to know tonight."

"Girl, just let me smell it."

"I drive a new Mercedes, have a condo in the Caymans, make over $100,000 after taxes, and I want YOU to want ME!"

"You so juicy I could sop you up with a biscuit!"

"You don't want to dance? In that case, I suppose a blow job is out of the question?"

"I just want to rock your world".

(Looking up and pointing at her) "Yes, I found her. She's right here. (looking at her) Oh yeah, God said he was missing an angel!"

As long as you can get a laugh at your silliness, you have a chance.

The best chat up line in the world, is simply

"Hi" Say this with a devilish smile with your eyes, back up with some conversation and you will be much better appreciated than saying "here's some money to phone your parents, you are not coming home tonight"

This site seems to be 90% innacurate. It is what women want guys to do, but not what actually attracts them. Girls don't know what makes them attracted because it is unconcious. Guys who study how women react, on the other hand, those who actually have success with women, can actually tell you how to get women. For this, go to www.sosuave.com. You don't need any other place, although it does link to other places which are useful.

Posted by: stefan follett at April 11, 2007 07:37 PM

for years i try so many things to chat up a girl. i found out the hard way its not about what you do. You need to have your own style, something that works with your character so you come across natural. well I'm the teasing funny type, theres other out there such as the naturally interesting men etc. Know the type of girls that would like you, cute or sexy etc, know the girls that like you how they dress so you can spot them when your out. then be brave enough to talk to them when there is reason to. you don't try, you don't get, simple. either way you have to have to be half not bad looking and have a interesting story to tell, i have one that works 9/10 but thats for me to know and you to get your own in every case to keep them interested for more than a minute not bad chat up lines, that seconds. One of the comments about story telling above has it spot on. PROMISE THE WORLD DELIVER NOTHING...!!! easy way into bed with someone but not into a relationship.

Posted by: Peter ABC at April 20, 2007 07:09 PM

go up to the bar next to a couple of ladies that tickle your fancy, acting as if you`re james bond. Then order a dry martini shaken not stirred; say it clearly so the ladies hear you!
The ladies SHOULD look at you and when, or if they do, give them a little wink and say to the barman
"and whatever these beautiful ladies are having" (providing you have the money)
I`ve tried this three times and its worked every time!!! (don`t ask why i came up with this idea, james bond`s a plank)
