The Pick-Up Artist :) Blog 4
Studies show that we have approximately 4 minutes in the contact stage to make a good impression. And based on that first impression, many of us make up our minds on whether or not we want to pursue the relationship to the next level or just remain acquaintances.
Share with us your favorite pick-up lines (funny, serious, cheesy, etc). From your own experiences, do they work? What do you think is the best "pick-up" strategy? (Leave a green dangly earring behind? Put your phone number in their phone?) Let's see what you can come up with!

Now I haven't had to use a pick up line in a long time, but back in the day I think I had a little game...haha my wife would call it something else,,,not game...lol I always like this line...If I could rearrange the alphabet, I would put U and I together, I don't know why but that one just makes me laugh. I don't know if it works or not, but I really don't think it has anything to do with the line, I think its all about the delivery and the person putting it out there. So one of you young guys, go out there and try this line and let me know if it works for you! (If I followed you home, would you keep me?)

Can't say that I have used a pick up line, but when I want to approach a female I usually look for something that would lead into a question. If the female/target(just playing) is within talking range, I look for something on the person or in the environment and then just ask her a thoughtful question and that usually initiates a conversation. But one strategy I did use once was at a bar and while a group of like 8 woman where hanging out, my buddy and I had the bartender take them over a fruity mix drink and 8 straws. Which they found yummy and funny and in turn they invited us over to hangout with them.
ReplyDeleteI can't really say that I heard these pickup lines either. I haven't used any pick up lines either. Well, maybe just one to break the ice of the conversation. My line of "May I buy you a beer?" sometimes works, but other times no so much. Well, I used to hang out over at Cowboys Dancehall, I would use the line, "Wanna dance?" It somehow works when women want to dance, but other times not so much. Some catch phrases kinda get me into trouble to, so bottom line, I try to avoid them as much as possible.
ReplyDeleteOne of the most common pick up lines that I’ve heard is the one where you ask somebody, “Did it hurt?” Then they ask, “Did what hurt?” and you say, “When you fell from heaven.” I can’t say that I’ve ever used it though. A girl once asked me if “it hurt” and I thought, “This has got to be a joke. There’s no way people actually use that line.” It turned out that she wanted to know if it hurt to pop your neck because I had just popped mine. We became friends after that and later I told her that I thought she was going to use that cheesy pick up line. I think a good pick up strategy to use, at least here at school, is to invite somebody to study with you. It’s pretty casual and gives you a chance to get to know someone without it being too awkward.
ReplyDeleteI can't say that i've used any pick up lines. I think the best way to approach someone is generally by not trying to hard to get their attention. Asking a simple question could be an easy way to initiate a conversation. A good way is if you notice something that you have in common right away for example the other person is wearing a shirt with a band you like on it, then you could start a conversation with that. I think these ways would work better than any of the cheesy pick up lines.
ReplyDeleteMmmm let's see...
ReplyDeleteI don't really use lines but the one I use the most to compliment the girls are, "Tu eres la rason por que la otras estrellas no brillan como tu." It means you're the reason why the other stars don't shine as bright as you. And I only use it when I know they know some spanish. Usually get an "awee thanks :)".
My point of view on pick up lines is that they just break the ice. You'll either get a laugh or a walk away kinda thing. However, I think we guys must remember that when you want to talk to a pretty girl... you can't go gaga over her and put her on a pedestal no matter how pretty or beautiful she is. You do that and you've lowered yourself because she's on top. Treat her like she is nothing special yet point out the "out of the ordinary" about her, things that she wouldn't expect and she'll be like, "Wow no one's ever told me that before. " etc. Right there you're making herself stand out :)What happens next, who knows.
The only time I use and receive pickup lines is when I’m joking with girls that I already know. The other day this girl I know picked me up from my house and asked me if I brought my keys. Then I said “keys for what?” Then she said “keys to my heart. “ I thought it was pretty lame but it was enough to make me laugh. To me pickup lines are never supposed to be serious but are just little jokes. Personally I’d like to see a guy drop some pickup lines and get somewhere. A better strategy would be to ask a girl about her appearance like tattoos or her hair or even something she’s wearing. I guess just getting a girl to talk about something she likes seems to work good enough to least a start a conversation.
ReplyDeleteThough I've never used or received a pick-up line (that I can readily recall), my absolute favorite is, "Do you wash your clothes with Windex?" "No, why?" "'Cause I can see myself in your pants!" A little inappropriate, but hilarious by most standards. However, pick-up lines are only acceptable when you are blatantly joking, and even then it's risky. I think the best way to get the attention of a member of the opposite sex is to nonchalantly compliment him or her or make an observation about something the two of you may have in common. My mother taught me to play hard-to-get, and ladies, this works!
ReplyDeleteEvery time I think of pick-up lines, I think of the movie A Night at the Roxbury with Will Ferrell when one of them asks the girl if she has a mirror in her pocket because he can see himself in her pants. There are more in the clip on youtube.

They are so funny because of how incredibly cheesy they are. I don't recall ever seriously using a pick-up line but it can be a good way to break the ice, or it could also be a great way to get sent packing. Depends on the girl I guess. I think the best thing to do is just be yourself and just go up and say "Hi" for starters. If you don't have the confidence to just introduce yourself I'm not sure even the best pick-up line in the world will do any good.
I honestly can't recall ever using a pick up line but I find some to be hilarious. If your a funny individual I do believe that pick up lines could work but your sense of humor as got to be pretty good to pull it off. One way however that I have seen individuals use as a pick up strategy especially in college is to get a persons numbers thats in their class and say I'll txt you in case im absent and instead use it as a way to get the persons number and then just text them to get to know them cause they think the other individual is attractive.

ReplyDeleteThere is a lots of ways to doing break ice. When there is a bunch of unfamiliar people sitting around the table. There's best chance to play some simple and less competition table game. Anyway, if self-Introduction is difficult for the young man in now a time, I found that keep a set of card table game in your bag will always be a good idea to make yourself pop out and attractive in some youth social scene. Well, girl always prefer smart guy, is it right?

ReplyDeleteI worked at Bill Millers and I had a gorgeous manager, and a gentleman came in to 'whoo' her. He got her attention and called her over. He then told her, "You know you look exactly like my ex-wife....but you want to know the funny thing..?" She nodded and said, "What is that?" and he replied, "I haven't been married yet." I laughed so hard and thought it was the funniest cheeziest thing ever. I think pick up lines are a great way to break the ice. If a guy actually used one on me I would probably give him some time just because that takes a lot of guts to do. My favorite 'pickup' strategy is that I LOVE to go dancing so if I see a guy eyeing me i'll dance around a little by myself kind of giving him the okay to know that HEY I WANNA DANCE! HA. and usually theyll come up to me and save me from embarrassing myself dancing with Casper the ghost!
