i always thought pick up lines were just a way of a guy showin you that he has a sense of humor. if he says it in the right way, you can know that he is interested in you and just tryin to be funny. i totally agree, the best way to get a female's attention is to just be genuine, and of course, give her compliments! but don't make it cheesy, say something unique like "god, your laugh is so sexy!" make it unique to the woman, and she will appreciate that you actually took the time to think about it and made an actual effort. women want to feel special, and not just someone in the crowd.

the best compliment i ever got was from my best guy friend in high school, when he really really liked me as more than a friend. he told me one day while we were talking, just outta the blue, "you seriously have the most beautiful smile i have ever seen!" the way he said it was completely heartfelt, and i have never had a man say somethin like that to me just the way he did. i always remember that, because it was so sweet and so genuine, and his body and facial expressions made it even more better.

so ya, a woman can be told over and over that she has a hot ass or a great set of tits, but they really wanna hear somethin specific to them, and not always somethin dirty. focus on somethin that you think she would appreciate. like if it looks like she put a lot of time into her makeup or eyeshadow, focus in on that, and tell her how beautiful her makeup accentuates her already pretty face. or her nails, if they are perfectly manicured or she has fake ones, tell her that you really like the way they look. i love it whenever a man notices my nails, cuz hardly any men pay attention to that kinda thing, it's always women who say something.

3-love your response to this one!

5-this one is just gross. if they even attempted to use this one, i'd probably pick a booger right in front of them and smear it on their face, just to get them the fuck away from me!

10 & 13-very clever responses, lol

these were all super funny, and i think all the guys out there are so happy that you ARE NOT a female!

"women want to feel special, and not just someone in the crowd".

That's the key RIGHT THERE.  

It's also one of the main reasons why I NEVER used pickup lines....   (A) somebody else probably has already said it to her before & (B) I didn't wanna give off the impression that I'd said it to another woman before her.

Nothing feels BETTER than approaching somebody that you REALLY wanna get with & hearing them say, "Wow, nobody's ever said that to me before.  Thanks so much.  So, what's your name"!!!!

You're really not gonna get that kinda reaction, when you spit a pickup line or cheesy words.

"i always thought pick up lines were just a way of a guy showin you that he has a sense of humor".

Well, you're much more forgiving than I'd EVER be....   b-cuz, I'd sorta see it as the guy trying to compensate for a LACK of humor.  Any ole bum can run around droppin' pickup lines.

Hell, a wink or simple hello would send the message just as well.

"but they really wanna hear somethin specific to them, and not always somethin dirty. focus on somethin that you think she would appreciate. like if it looks like she put a lot of time into her makeup or eyeshadow, focus in on that, and tell her how beautiful her makeup accentuates her already pretty face. or her nails, if they are perfectly manicured or she has fake ones, tell her that you really like the way they look. i love it whenever a man notices my nails, cuz hardly any men pay attention to that kinda thing, it's always women who say something"

BINGO!!!!  LOL - no jokes, I remember being 5 years old & running around telling women these kinda things.  Given that I was wayyyy too young for these women, it's sorta funny to think about it.  But, I still remember how they reacted whenever I'd say these things to them & again, looking back on it, I now realize that most adult guys DIDN'T tell them these things.

So, when I started applying the same mentality in my adult life, I had ahelluvalotta success.  You'll go farther with saying sumthin' subtle like this, than you'd get telling her how curvy her body is.

exactly, the woman is gonna be annoyed by the 5 assholes before you who TRIED to throw some lines her way, so if you say somethin different, odds are you will get a positive reaction

I'd sorta see it as the guy trying to compensate for a LACK of humor

well, like i said, it depends on how he says it and what he says. if he uses a really old line, then i would be annoyed. but if he said somethin i hadn't heard before (and that wasn't cheesy as hell), then i would be impressed, even if it did sound like a pickup line

BINGO!!!!  LOL - no jokes, I remember being 5 years old & running around telling women these kinda things.  Given that I was wayyyy too young for these women, it's sorta funny to think about it.

we all know that you were just a born playa now don't we???!!!  i mean, guy should makes themselves look intelligent. if i hear you sayin some old ass lines or somethin, i'm gonna think that you either a) aren't smart enough to come up with your own shit, and b) you aren't really payin attention to me at all

Shhhhhhhhh! You're giving away secrets that could make women vulnerable to jerks who would use this info to get in their pants! lol

SORRY!  didn't mean to give away the secrets, just tryna help the poor guys out there. but shit, if a guy actually did this kinda thing, then they would deserve the right to get in my pants

and women can tell (most of the time) when it's sincere. The timing is important, too

ya, most women are very perceptive and can read guys fairly well, so they would be able to tell when it is sincere. and you are right, my friend had known me for a long time, and he really liked the way i was on the inside and not just the outside (but my outside didn't hurt, lol)

That's why pick up lines can sometimes work - they are coversation starters - funny ones - and if you can get a woman to talk to you with one, and then lay on the sincere stuff after you get to know her a bit, you might have a chance!

this is the KEY right here!!! so true

I've always used pick up lines more as jokes rather then to actually try and pick someone up. You forgot some of the classics now Don E Dangerous.

Are you a parking ticket? (What?) You got fine written all over you.
Someone should write you a ticket for using that lame line

Hi, I'm Mr. Right. Someone said you were looking for me

Well apparently someone lied to you

You) Can I borrow your cell phone? (Her) Sure why? (You) I need to phone heaven and tell God I found the missing angel!

You make Paris Hilton look like a teletubbie.
Arent you the Gay teletubbie

lmfao, you are judgin sd by "on broadway?!" that place is annoying, everyone there thinks they are the SHIT! it's cool how they have different rooms playin different music, but it's WAY too trendy for me, and everyone is stuck up. i prefer the more laid-back clubs with cheaper drinks and hot military guys, lol

yeah, petco park is a trip! it's weird, cuz i was born & raised here, so i know what the downtown used to look like before they completely revived it. that old western supplies building is tight as fuck how they left it up and built the field around it.

definitely gotta come back to sd sometime, there's a ton of shit to do, and great places to smoke

Nah, I don't think that you got off-topic....   it actually falls in-line with the overall theme of the IMMATURITY that alotta us guys exhibit.

You're right about the whole "Sweat me b-cuz I'm in a frat" mentality.

I'm still trying to digest whatcha said about the guy picking you up & trying to put you in a car....  damn, I thought that prehistoric man stopped doing that kinda stuff BEFORE the dinosaurs got killed off [& how can anybody justify that].

Ooooh, oooooh.  I have one to add to your list!  As used on my friend (no lie):

Quick!  The cops are coming!  Can I hide my penis inside you?

Really, truly, I can't believe guys actually think this crap will work...

These lines are really cute when you reading them, but hearing them thats a different story.  I am married now, but I think that I get more pick up lines now than ever before. I think my ring is a magnet...or maybe it's a challenge. No matter, I just tell them I don't fuck with little boys, I have a MAN at home. I can say that I had to laugh with you comments about northeastern girls, even though it is soo true! Sometimes to the point that we over do it.  I am one of the few that can say I met the man I will spend my life with in the bar.  He always says when he met me that his first impression was stuck up, and bitchy. Of course getting to know me he learned different, I might be a little bitchy but far from stuck up.  Maybe your right, it's something in the water as they say.  But sometimes the extra work to warm us up can be worth it!!

If love is blind, do you want my cane?

Yes, I do believe I pissed my pants.

Good looking repping Maya Angelou. She rocks my world. Hmmmm... here's one:

"I'm a caged bird baby.. come over here and make me sing!"

HAHA .. even I must admit that my pick up line was pretty dry (though Maya's book is not)...

Here's my version of what would happen if soeone used that on ME:

Pickup Line: "I'm a caged bird baby....  come over here & make me sing".
Comeback: *Blank Stare*

Hahahaha

Ok i know that some girls/women may not like pick up lines but what about the ones who do like the corny jokes that some of us good guys come up with. when it comes to me. I would come up to a female and intorduce myself and since this seems to be unusual i may get looked at wierd or whatever but i like to be goofy sometimes so i may just compliment someone by saying they must have fallen from heaven or them being a thief because the young woman that i am presently talking to did take my breathe away and it was like seeing an angel fall from heaven
