What is the most lame, stupid or weird pick up line you have ever heard...one of mine,
"In my dictionary, intimate comes between intimadate and intestine"
for years I tried to figure out just what the hell this idiot was trying to say, then one day I was looking through this mini-desk dictionary and found that intimate was right after intimadate and right before intestine...my conclusion: he was either really dumb or trying to tell me somthing about his anatomy..or lack there of...if I spelled anything wrong forgive me its almost friday!

What is the most lame, stupid or weird pick up line you have ever heard Hmm, interesting thread... I'll bite. One of mine is when a guy walks by and says "Smile!" Now, wouldn't that look nutz-- women walking around with these vacant, meaningless smiles on their faces? Do guys really want that?  On a lighter note, another one is when someone says "How's tricks?" Like, how are you supposed to answer that? "Well, they're just fine, thank you."  |

Not all smiles are vacant and meaningless…
(Goblin smiles a goblin smile)
Dumbest line I’ve had recently was “Oi! Get in the car”.
The idiot seemed quite surprised that I didn’t… maybe I’d been mistaken for a hooker… again! LMAO
Compared to that, the singing cowboy in Little Dickie is starting to look quite appealing!

Don’t forget “Put Captain Solo in the cargo hold”! ;D

I don't remember any pickup lines from women. I like Margaret Cho's pickup line that she says she used on guys in bars: "Stick it in".
When I was in high school, I had long hair and my girlfriend and I were walking at about 11 at night or so and we encountered a man dressed in a business suit, drunk, with his thing out, almost falling over, crying and moaning "suck me off!'. So, I guess that would be the worst pickup line.
My worst pickup line that I used (I guess that was what it was): "I like the way you wear your dress", and she got all flustered and said "It's the only way I know how to wear it", and I said "yeah, you're blessed". But this was after months of us obviously getting closer and closer, and I was being sincere.

A guy I knew, who is now the head of the a department at MUN in St. Johns, would sometimes get quite drunk at parties...the usual university student routine...and, late in the evening, he'd lean against whatever would hold him up, and say to every passing girl "Hey, flesh, wanna f__k ?"
That is just about as crude as the lines in Little Dickie....Of course, he'd be so pissed, the 'f__k' word would sound like 'fart', so he never even got a good slap on the face, just a lot of very puzzled looks.

One time in a bar, this really short guy said to me “When I’m nose to nose, my toes are in it – when I’m toe to toe, my nose is in it – and when I’m in it, I can’t see you!”
Needless to say, this did not get him very far – but he was a fun guy.

Aggressive girls are very nice.
Oh my god: Cisco. Do they still have that? Citrus wine with horrid artificial fruit flavor. My favorite was Orange flavored Cisco. The putrified Orange making up the wine was emphasized by Orange flavoring.
I've never gone out looking to meet a girl, or thought maybe if I say the right thing, she'll have sex with me. But, I'm sure I've said things to try to be playful before. I still feel like I'm about 12 years old, about girls, in some ways. I suspect women typically want men to be more mature than that in their approach though. So, I suck.
For me, my "pickup lines" were me thinking the approach that worked in the 4th grade is still supposed to make her want to go kiss behind the buildings. I know that's lame, but women don't have to be mean to me about it.
About guys asking you to "smile". The guy is probably thinking that you are delightful, and remembers being delighted when a girl smiled, so he's expecting to be delighted if you smile. But, yeah, it is kind of offensive.

Sorry to double post, but I kept thinking about this topic for a while. Why does the pickup line phenomenon exist?
Isn't it similar to how the guy would supposedly throw a pebble against her window and then recite poetry to her while she looks down at him from her window? It's just now the guy's poetry is like: "your boobs are great"?
My point being, accepting for the moment that it's okay to have these rituals involve a woman auditioning suitors, the guy trying to say cute things to the girl is acceptable, right? If most of the guy's attempts are painfully awkward, that's uncomfortable or annoying, but it's not offensive, no? It's offensive if the guy is intruding on the girl's personal space or is trying to pretend he's interested in more, in order to get her to have sex with him.
Ultimately, it might be healthier for these rituals to go away and have equally aggressive women, but it's okay as it is too.
Sorry to interrupt the worst pickup line thread.

I think the worst pickup line in the world is 'If I told you that you had a beautiful body, would you hold it against me? "..I can't believe guys really think that will work. I guess it comes down to what they're trying to attract..:
A self-assured confident attractive woman with brains and beauty, or a drunk ignorant nasty slag that will sleep with anything with a pulse....Hmmmmmmm, I think I just answered my own question..

Varrtan, I'm copying & pasting two bits of yours from two different posts. For me, my "pickup lines" were me thinking the approach that worked in the 4th grade is still supposed to make her want to go kiss behind the buildings. I know that's lame, but women don't have to be mean to me about it. Well, when you say, 'make her want', that sounds like coercion to me. Do ya really want to be doing stuff like that? About guys asking you to "smile". The guy is probably thinking that you are delightful, and remembers being delighted when a girl smiled, so he's expecting to be delighted if you smile. But, yeah, it is kind of offensive. Welp, first of all, a guy trying to tell me to do anything is gonna be an immediate turn-off for little ol' moi. And secondly, why would he think I was "delightful" if he didn't know me? And if all he sees me as is a "girl" who reminds me of another "girl", it would seem like he thinks all women are the same-- how is that complimentary in any way? And, lastly, if he's just thinking of himself, then he's selfish & I wouldn't be interested in someone like that. Sorry to double post, but I kept thinking about this topic for a while. Why does the pickup line phenomenon exist? Well, I think it's traditional for the guy to make the "first move". Isn't it similar to how the guy would supposedly throw a pebble against her window and then recite poetry to her while she looks down at him from her window? It's just now the guy's poetry is like: "your boobs are great"? Gawd, no, I don't think it's similar at all. A guy reciting poetry-- that's romantic, that comes from the heart. A guy telling you your boobs are great-- that's coming from the groin. My point being, accepting for the moment that it's okay to have these rituals involve a woman auditioning suitors, the guy trying to say cute things to the girl is acceptable, right? If most of the guy's attempts are painfully awkward, that's uncomfortable or annoying, but it's not offensive, no? It's offensive if the guy is intruding on the girl's personal space or is trying to pretend he's interested in more, in order to get her to have sex with him. Well, what a guy may think is "cute" may be really different to what a "girl" thinks is cute. Sure, being dishonest is wrong, but also, a guy should-- unless he's just being selfish & only trying to fulfill his own needs-- be sensitive to when he's crossing the line & being annoying and/or offensive also.[/quote] Ultimately, it might be healthier for these rituals to go away and have equally aggressive women, but it's okay as it is too. Yeah, as much as I believe in equality, I have to admit that there are some hormonal/biological differences that cause differences in "drive"-- I don't think that's gonna change. And I have to admit, I am a little old-fashioned & like the guy to make the first move. But it's important for guys to realize it's a two-way street & to 'read' the signals & not push it if the woman seems unwilling/uninterested. That's her right-- everyone has a basic right to freedom of choice. Cool? |

I guess it comes down to what they're trying to attract.. Hee hee-- actually, if a guy who was my age said that to me, I would think he was quoting Monty Python & would like it! That 'Tobacconist Shop' skit is one of their best, IMO. From that same skit also came one of my faves, "My hovercraft is full of eels." LOL! When we (archaeos) were out doing field surveys (spread out, like, 10 meters apart), we would shout out Monty Python lines to each other across the hills! |

I'm not really a party animal. I'm more of a party enzyme. This subject fascinates me, and makes me want to analyze it. But, I don't want to spoil people's fun. If I'm doing that, sorry. For me, my "pickup lines" were me thinking the approach that worked in the 4th grade is still supposed to make her want to go kiss behind the buildings. I know that's lame, but women don't have to be mean to me about it. Well, when you say, 'make her want', that sounds like coercion to me. Do ya really want to be doing stuff like that? No. And, I didn't mean it that way. "Honey, your coffee makes me want to start the day fresh", usually doesn't mean your coffee is forcing me to start the day fresh, against my will. That's what I thought I meant by "make her want". In other words, I notice, in hind sight, that I was motivated by an apparent desire for her to have a reaction which by her own free will would find her kissing me behind the building. About guys asking you to "smile". The guy is probably thinking that you are delightful, and remembers being delighted when a girl smiled, so he's expecting to be delighted if you smile. But, yeah, it is kind of offensive. Welp, first of all, a guy trying to tell me to do anything is gonna be an immediate turn-off for little ol' moi. ... And, lastly, if he's just thinking of himself, then he's selfish & I wouldn't be interested in someone like that. Yeah, assuming the scenario is one I've seen many times, the guy is probably being ignorant of several things when he does that. And, you shouldn't have to put up with it. I thought I was agreeing with your assessment and adding in addition that he probably thinks he's being nice. I'm suggesting that if someone intends to abuse you, it's worse in some sense, than someone who doesn't realize they are abusing you. In either case, it's not okay for you to be abused. And secondly, why would he think I was "delightful" if he didn't know me? And if all he sees me as is a "girl" who reminds me of another "girl", it would seem like he thinks all women are the same-- how is that complimentary in any way? You don't find people delightful, who you don't know, and just see for an instant? I think we say that someone is charming or attractive, if there is something intangible about them that leads us to have a favorable reaction to them. I think it's fluid. You can have an initial impression that delights you, and then microsecond by microsecond, your impression changes while you interact with delight or not. Probably, we are all having our own private experiences when we interact. I have a favorable sympathetic private experience, when you do that thing, baby. And if all he sees me as is a "girl" who reminds me of another "girl", it would seem like he thinks all women are the same-- how is that complimentary in any way? Again, I'm essentially agreeing with your outrage, and then adding also that he probably thinks he's being nice. I'm giving an interpretation, not an excuse. If someone asks you to pass the salt, they are remembering that they have witnessed other people having passed things before and are expecting that you might have similar abilities. They probably don't mean that you are no different than other people, and are nothing to them but a salt passing automaton. Similarly, if my interpretation is close to being correct, the guy is probably not too far off base to expect that you might also appear "pretty" to him when you smile (or, be associated in some manner to a voluntary sympathetic reaction on his part, to your appearance and mannerisms). Isn't it similar to how the guy would supposedly throw a pebble against her window and then recite poetry to her while she looks down at him from her window? It's just now the guy's poetry is like: "your boobs are great"? Gawd, no, I don't think it's similar at all. A guy reciting poetry-- that's romantic, that comes from the heart. A guy telling you your boobs are great-- that's coming from the groin. I've never tried to "pickup a girl", so I'm guessing there are people like me who think we have honest intentions, and other's who are intentionally trying to get girls to sleep with them by pretending to be interested in more. The first kind of guy is engaging in the courtship ritual. I'm comparing that to the idealized courtship ritual. A dumb guy, or less talented guy, may be trying to be poetic and it comes out "your boobs are great". The other kind of guy is trying to "conquer" you, which is pathetic. Of course, intentions are a complicated thing and lurking within a person's good intentions can be a less healthy motivation and latent sexism etc. Like with racism. You can't decide not to be racist, just like you can't decide to be wise. You can intend not to be, and work to reveal your own racism and shed it from yourself. Similarly, men can't decide not to be sexist, they have to work to find it and eliminate it. But, if we're trying, hopefully that is less painful for everyone then if we are not trying. Ultimately, it might be healthier for these rituals to go away and have equally aggressive women, but it's okay as it is too. Yeah, as much as I believe in equality, I have to admit that there are some hormonal/biological differences that cause differences in "drive"-- I don't think that's gonna change. And I have to admit, I am a little old-fashioned & like the guy to make the first move. But it's important for guys to realize it's a two-way street & to 'read' the signals & not push it if the woman seems unwilling/uninterested. That's her right-- everyone has a basic right to freedom of choice. Cool? Yes. But, I think these are mostly social conventions rather than gender differences. The passive female/courting male ritual is fun and probably deeply symbolic. Actually, I shouldn't have said that it should probably go away. I mean that, it should be okay to have the reverse or variations some times. The overall trend appears to be generally in the direction of women being more aggressive, which is to be desired, by me. |
