Do pick-up lines ever work?
If you ever want to do a little “single” people watching, hang out at a sports bar or in the mall. You will probably notice the completely entertaining ways we approach one another.
I have seen women literally go out of their way to “bump” into a good-looking man (ok, that was actually me); I have even spotted a guy walk up and ask a woman if she wanted to fly to Las Vegas for the weekend!
Whatever the approach is, I always wonder if the person has ever used that pick up line before and more importantly, did it actually work?
Do you use pick up lines to do cold approaches? I have to say that the right line from the right man could probably work like a charm. Maybe they aren’t all bad!
What is the best/worst pick up line you have used on someone?
I would love to hear those “you had me at hello” stories that only seem to happen in the movies! Has someone ever had your attention (in a good way!) from the moment your eyes met? What did they say?

Does your husband let you date? Always get’s a laugh and you collect important information by the response.
That’s one statement I would never laugh to, but to each their own. Ok, I can see that you can get some useful information by the response, but the biggest information I would have gathered is the fact that he’s contemplating being disrespectful himself and step to another man’s wife?

Leggs, you missed the point. You say it to single girls and start gathering info. She may respond that she is not married and you ask about the boyfriend. It goes on and on from there or you find out it’s not worth spending any time on. Gotta go. The little white ball calls

@Edmo ~ I got what you’re saying. I had in my mind the guy who asked me that very same question and still proceeded to whisper in my ear…I know some guys will stop depending on the answer and some will continue…that’s what I meant.
“You say it to single girls and start gathering info.” Ok, but you don’t know they’re single when you first approach them. I got your point nonetheless.

“The picture is perfect
A keepsake ’cause the occasion is rare
She’s poetry in motion
So proud to say that I was there
To pull her up from the ground
She stands out in a crowd
Oh my, how she’s grown
Hold her with both my hands
Then put her on the table
When I get her home”

If a real nice-looking guy uses the pick-up line, it may work despite being rather dumb. But he’d be much better off just walking up and saying hello with a non-suggestive compliment. (Something like “You have a pretty smile” instead of “you’ve got a nice rack”.) Otherwise, most women are just going to think “Lord, what a loser!”
There is no such thing as a “pick up” line so comical and wonderful that a woman is going to think “Wow…I’ve got to go home with this guy and screw him!” If he’s nice-looking, we wonder “why does a cute guy have to be stupid?”…and if he’s ordinary-looking or even ugly, we just think “guys like this shouldn’t even be allowed in the bar”.
It’s unfortunate that there’s a double-standard there, but guys and girls both have to live with it. But why would a guy ever start off with a lame “trying to be funny” pick-up line?
