What's your most effective pick up line?

[MrScorpio]

Mine: "Hello"

[Taverner]

1. Hey - do you got the time?

[Bertha Venation]

2. Nice shirt.

It would look better on my bedroom floor.

[redqueen]

27. Oooh...

sexy. :)



Is it sexist that I'd find that sexy coming from a woman, but offputting coming from a man? I think it is...

[arbusto_baboso]

3. I prefer direct: "You are quite a lovely woman."

It's an honest, simple compliment. It establishes my intention. The woman can respond in a way that indicates her intent so neither of us waste any time if she isn't interested. It's surprisingly effective.

[MrScorpio]

4. A polite, yet direct approach is the best method

Good going

[arbusto_baboso]

7. Yeah, but then they find out I'm married and get spooked.

Well, most of them do. Others get a strange gleam in their eyes...

What's really weird is that when women find out my marriage is open to ... other possibilities.... the women who had no problem carrying on with a *cheating* married guy suddenly think it's weird and unnatural that I have permission to have outside flings.

[MissMillie]

5. I can't remember the last time I "picked up"

but I'm okay w/ that

[HopeHoops]

6. Well, I haven't done this personally, but a scumbag I once know claimed it worked.

He said he would go up to ten or so women and just say, "So, do you want to fuck?"

Nine or so would slap him, punch him, turn away in disgust, or ask the bartender to throw him out. One would say "Yes."

I don't even want to think about how many social diseases he was responsible for transmitting over a wide geographical area.

[SeattleGirl]

9. That's disgusting!

:puke:

[HopeHoops]

10. Oh, I completely agree.

The guy was a total scumbag, but he claimed it worked (and evidence would suggest it did).

[Xipe Totec]

57. I think that story is in Richard Feynman's book,

"What do you care what other people think?"

He relates the story of a famous composer he knew, who used precisely that line, and got slapped precisely 9 out of 10 times when he tried it.

A 1:10 success ratio also happens to be the nominal success rate for a predator in the wild.

[Dramarama]

11. Nice shoes Let's...

is a nice 1

[Hippo_Tron]

68. If it's asked with sincerity then I don't see the problem

Maybe it could be done a little more tactfully but there are certainly women who just want to have sex and skip the courtship. Apparently one out of 10 as your friend discovered.

[redqueen]

82. Yep, it's honest and up-front.

Much better than pretending more than a one night stand is wanted.

[vadawg]

69. yep thats a tried and tested method that works worldwide

as practiced by my soldiers and sailors, saves time and money.

[JVS]

98. That's awesome

[insanity]

8. The instability in Microneisa has caused a paradigm shift in the region

Or just simply, "hello."

[whistler162]

12. "Remember bend at the knees"

[MissMillie]

13. this is the correct answer

:applause:

[SKKY]

14. "Que pasa calabaza?"

It gets 'em every time.

[kimmerspixelated]

15. What? You're just going to leave it on the floor?!!

I'm not the friggin' maid!!!

[targetpractice]

16. Do people *wink* anymore?

It worked on me once, but I've never tried it.

[SeattleGirl]

17. I'll betcha it would work on Sarah Palin, by golly!

:)

[no name no slogan]

18. "As long as I've got a face, ..."

"... you've got a place to sit."

:hide:

[SeattleGirl]

20. Some asshole I worked with in the 70's actually said that to me.

He didn't understand why I didn't think it was funny. :grr:

[no name no slogan]

21. I can't believe somebody would be that stupid

Wow....

[SeattleGirl]

23. Well, it WAS in the 1970's, and I was living in Texas at the time.

No offense to any Texas DUers, but I swear, I had never experienced so much sexism in my life as I did the year I lived there.

[jeff30997]

26. OMG!

That guy is really a moron for saying that but

what was your reply to something so stupid ? I need

a good lol.:)

[Bucky]

19. #3. "Do you live around here often?"

#2. "If I told you you had a beautiful body, would you be running through my mind all day?"

#1. "That's what you say. What I wanna know is why is your underwear covering my hand?"

[Mike 03]

22. "You're a moron." I'm serious.

This is how my ex-wife and I met. We were together for thirteen years. Our relationship began in an argument over a movie.

Then you call an hour later to apologize (and you have to mean it, and apologize profusely), and things get rolling...

[TK421]

24. You're standing on my foot n/t

[Yavin4]

25. How Much?

Is That Too forward?

[redqueen]

28. Are you single? Seeing anyone?

Can I get your number?


I'm not very creative... and haven't tried it in ages... but it used to work pretty well.

[jeff30997]

32. Maybe it's not creative but...

at least it's honest and not moronic like the:

"As long as I've got a face,you've got a place to sit."

quoted by no name no slogan.I never liked pickup lines.

It's best to start a conversation instead of using

those silly lines IMHO.The only times I would

say things like that would be to make someone laugh

without being offensive.

[redqueen]

79. I always thought those corny lines were only jokes...

like a funny icebreaker. I can't imagine using them for real. That's crazy.

[MilesColtrane]

29. "You know, there's nothing hotter than an angry, elderly, Filipino woman."

[Roon]

30. nice legs..

when do they open?

[Left Is Write]

31. I don't have a pick-up line.

[flvegan]

34. You don't even begin to need one.

[abq e streeter]

33. "I gotta tell you, it was hard to concentrate on playing while you were dancing"

the only "line" I think I've ever had. But it was honest and sincere ( only said it if I meant it), and actually worked, a couple of times anyway, back in my younger days.But basically I've always been extremely shy ( more common in performers than many people would think) and considering I only even used that one a few times, I'm continually amazed that I'm not a 57 yr old virgin. I don't know how the hell all the other times happened; especially the real "hot streaks". Wish I could've bottled whatever I had going on during those times, or remembered what ( if I anything) I'd said .

[ScreamingMeemie]

35. "Leave me alone"

[XemaSab]

36. You like necking?

:shrug:

[annabanana]

37. Little hint for the fellas...

If you can make us laugh, you're on the right track.

[flvegan]

39. So you're saying that I should

at first glance, tear all my clothes off? Got it.

[annabanana]

49. I said LAUGH

not snicker. . .

[rug]

38. "Real?"

[fNord]

60. .......................

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl: :toast: :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

[NMDemDist2]

40. one that cracked me up was

"hi, are you my next Ex-wife??"

I howled.

can't remember if he got lucky that night, but it did crack me up and we did talk because of it.

[Baclava]

41. "Can I buy you a drink"

Earth chicks are easy

[ZombieHorde]

42. "If I was going to kill a woman in this bar it wouldn't be you because you remind me of my mom."

But obviously, that line only works at the bar. It works really well.

If she is at the grocery store, stare at her chest and say; "If I saw those last night I wouldn't have had to strangle that cat." If you think she is a dog person use a dog in your line instead. She will think you're macho.

If she is at a funeral, wait for her to view the body then say; "If you think that person is stiff, wait until you see me." This will make her think you are a really good lover.

[MrScorpio]

43. Thanks for the living dead perspective nt

[woo me with science]

72. ....

:rofl:

[Amerigo Vespucci]

44. "I'm just like the birds, hopping around on my lawn, looking for bugs."

Hey, it worked YESTERDAY with Ashley at the bank, so THERE.

:evilgrin:

PS: Yes, I left out 99% of the backstory.

[Believing Is Art]

45. The worst one I had used on me was

"So what kind of asshole do you want to take home tonight?" He ended up with beer on his crotch. I mean, c'mon, a little creativity here!

[BarenakedLady]

46. I dunno

I need some suggestions.

I'm new to being single this decade.

[Mike 03]

47. Saving forever as a favorite thread. One day I'd like to meet a compatible woman.

I've totally lost all of my skills, and this thread will be of great assistance once that time comes.

Bookmarked.

[Inchworm]

48. Wanna beer?

or, Hi.

:D

[BarenakedLady]

51. works for me.

:P

[Inchworm]

52. Score!

:D

:*

[datasuspect]

50. "baby, i got a time machine in my pants"

[Dr. Strange]

53. Do you have a mirror in your pocket?

[bluedigger]

54. Is this your first time here?

Or have I tried to pick you up before?

[LanternWaste]

55. On the times I can fake the sincerity....

On the times I can fake the sincerity, I use this one on some of the girls at work...

"On your worst day, you look better than anyone else here on their best day!" I usually reserve that just for women who seem to be down for whatever reason-- it really picks them up.

Here's one that actually worked at a college frat party way back when-- "God must be a thief, because he stole the two brightest stars out of the heavens and gave them to you as eyes..."

I used to love picking up and meeting new women. Almost seems like too much of a chore these days. :P

[mitchum]

56. "It just looks infected"

[GaYellowDawg]

58. Hey, wanna order a pizza and fuck?

What, don't like pizza?

To be honest, never used it. Or any other line, for that matter. I'm the world's worst wallflower.

[fNord]

59. Its 4:19..........

you got a minuet?

[struggle4progress]

61. My best lines:

I know this may sound strange, but I dreamed last night you were doing my laundry

Let's take off our clothes, wrap ourselves in plastic wrap, climb up on the police station roof, and wave flashlights

Wanna get drunk, come over to my place, and look at my old logic books?

[DFW]

62. It's been so long, I've forgotten

I was introduced to the woman who became my wife in a cabaret in Berlin 35 years ago, so it
really wasn't even a pick up. Come to think of it, I don't recollect ever "picking up" a
woman, and women sure as hell never ever tried to pick me up! LOL

[Lucian]

63. "Hi," "hello," "How's it going," or any other variation on that works well for me.

Cheesy pick-up lines are a no-no.

[npk]

64. My favorites are

1. Do you have the time, cause I've got time for you.

2. Want to slip out the back door, and into my porsche.
or slightly more risky ( Want to slip out the back door and into something soft.)

3. Me and you were meant to be together so why fight it.

4. I could see your beauty from across the room.

(use them at your own risk)

[KamaAina]

65. I have no idea.

Seriesly. The few times I have actually been successful (think Detroit Lions here :( ), she has approached me. Once, in the French Quarter, it was right under my Mom's nose!

So must I sit around and wait to be approached once again? How can I master the Taoist art of wu=wei (doing nothing effectively)??

[LostInAnomie]

66. "You like cocaine, baby?"

[JVS]

97. Damn, that's smooth.

[datasuspect]

67. get out of my dreams, get into my car

.

[Hippo_Tron]

70. I wait until I find some excuse to talk to the person

"I couldn't help overhearing" or something along those lines... Occasionally I'll start the conversation by saying that something she's wearing looks really nice. But I only do that if I really mean it.

[jeff30997]

71. The ultimate pick up line :

Never gonna give you up,never gonna let you down.

:crazy:

[targetpractice]

73. Hi, I'm DNA helicase...

...and, I'd like to unzip your genes.

[TZ]

75. as a female biologist...

I have to say...I don't generally like lines..but thats awesome!:thumbsup:

[redqueen]

80. Haha... nice.

:)

[datasuspect]

74. i got a sausage in my pocket slathered in gentlemen's relish

care for some?

[Deep13]

76. "I'm unemployed and live with my parents." nt

[bigwillq]

77. I am not a pick up line kind of guy

But I am very flirtatious and charming when I meet someone I am interested in. But I don't have any specific lines. I just go with the flow of the conversation.

[Deep13]

78. Here's the one my Dad used to get my eventual step-mother's attention.

Walk up to her and say, "I just want you to know you are the only one in here with any class" and then LEAVE the building.

Return a week later. If she is there again it worked. Women in bars hear about their looks all the time, so a remark about class stands out. And if one walks out after saying that, it seems sincere.

[redqueen]

81. That sounds so disturbing...

'it seems sincere'.

It makes it sound like one is trying to trick someone into coming home with them.

[Deep13]

83. Nope, just get her attention.

I think he just was trying to deal with the reality of the over-30, post divorce dating situation. He was looking for a relationship, not a quick fling.

[arbusto_baboso]

84. "You look like Hell."

In my defense, it was Halloween and she was wearing a devil costume.

And she laughed and went home with at the end of the night, too.

[SCantiGOP]

85. always works

"I'm really not this tall, I'm sitting on my wallet."

[kwassa]

86. If I said you had a beautiful body, would you hold it against me?

[unpossibles]

87. "my friends think I'm creepy"

or maybe "you look real purty when you're sleepin'."


Oh wait - you mean ones that actually work? I just try to talk to someone.

[rcrush]

88. "I got weed"

[KansDem]

89. I have two (or rather, "I used to have two...")

1) "Hey, baby! I know what I like and I like what I see!"

2) "You and me. We go out. We have good time..."

Neither one was particularly successful...:(

[yellowcanine]

90. "I'd like to ask you for a date."

Ok full disclosure - this actually worked once and it wasn't in a bar and I was already somewhat acquainted with the young lady, she was not a total stranger.

[av8rdave]

91. "Excuse me. You haven't seen a Congressional Medal of Honor laying around here, have you?"

I seem to have lost mine.

That's OK, I have another one at home.


DISCLAIMER: I never actually tried this, and I'm sure I would have been met with about the same success I always had in getting the attention of the opposite sex.

Glad I'm not in that business anymore!

[RagAss]

92. "You're sitting on my barstool...Now get up."

yes this worked....circa 1979.

[Doc_Technical]

93. "How do you like me so far?".

[TheManInTheMac]

94. I don't say a word. I just walk into the bar, lick my eyebrows, and to with the flow.

[blue cat]

95. One pick up line that made me laugh...

I'm looking for someone to spoil with Christmas gifts.

[JVS]

96. I put the STD into Stud, all I need is U!
