Ladies, how do you feel about pick up lines?

24 comments

1. Awful. Boys need to get a whole new set of lines before I’ll “fall” for any!

2. They don’t change my attitude to a guy, unless they’re completely stupid.

   If I like a guy, I’ll give him my number etc. even without a witty pick up line. No need to make anything up. If I don’t find him attractive, a pick up line won’t make me like him.

3. Depends on the line and the context! It can be a good icebreaker if it’s funny, but I personally don’t find “charming” or cliche pick-ups attractive.

4. Incredibly tacky. To me, using canned rehearsed lines is putting up a barrier between you automatically by setting up a situation where the communication is unnatural, stilted, unoriginal, impersonal, and not treating the person as an individual – none of which help build rapport or engage someone’s interest. In my opinion, it’s a sign that someone sees you as a target/goal rather than a person they actually want to know.

5. If they are really funny and clever 🤣 I’m down. But the right kinda guy has to be able to do it. And they have to have that silly kind of humor.

   I love puns and word play.

6. They’re cringy.

7. Irritating and juvenile. Instant disinterest in the idiots using them.

8. I don’t mind them especially if they’re funny.

9. I don’t really mind them as long as whoever uses them isn’t a complete creep

10. I’ve never met one I found funny or entertaining, much less one that worked.

11. Not a fan. Just strike up a normal conversation.

12. It’s a great way for jerks to tell on themselves. Maybe try talking to women like we’re people for a change.

13. If they are funny and they are being goofy and know it, it’s actually an adorable vulnerability that they are choosing to show me and I’ll totally be in to it. It will be an ice breaker that will work for me.

14. My partner uses them on me a few times a week and I find it cute and funny, but if a random stranger hit me with one I’d find it cringey.

15. Cringe

16. I love them!
    Doesn’t mean I’ll talk with the person, but I enjoy hearing them!

17. I’d like to see a picture of every stuffy or offended woman respondent. I’m just curious if the often accurate stereotype in my head is correct.

    I’ve got game, meaning witty humor, and used that to seduce women. Laughter mixed with lick’er is a great cocktail 🍸.

    😂😇

18. A big no-no. Instant red flag. Just be yourself.

19. If I never hear one again it isn’t soon enough.

    It’s disingenuous, insulting, and conflicting with how someone might actually feel for you.

20. Love em.

21. In general, they are hilariously corny, canned, and bad. But I agree with other women on here: if a guy is being vulnerable, can laugh at himself, and is using one in the right way…I could be interested. Emotional maturity >>> the lines themselves. 🙂

22. If its good

23. Wouldn’t know, never had a guy use one on me.

24. It’s a no from me
