As a female, I've been on the receiving end of some truly dreadfully inept, stupid, and usually drunken pickup lines. So I'll just mention a few that were at least verging on successful. For a pick up line to work with me, you have to at least seem to be interesting. Good looking doesn't help. Good looking guys are three for a quarter. One of the best lines was (believe it or not)
"Hi, I was thinking that I ought to know you from somewhere." Later he admitted that he knew he didn't know me --but thought he ought to.
That one worked like a charm!
Another was "Since we're both here, we must have some areas of commonality." That guy hit a home run at the Negro League Baseball Museum in Kansas City.
At one party a man that I'd met earlier sat down at our table but didn't sazy anything. So I said "Penny for your thoughts." and pushed a penny across the table. He came back with "Well, since you asked, I was just wondering what it would feel like to slide my cock between your tits." If he hadn't been quite so sloppy drunk, he might have found out. We've since become close enough casual friends that it's become a sort of "inside joke" between us. We'll cross paths at some function, and he'll say "Still wondering..." and I'll reply with something like "Sometimes life is just full of mysteries." But he is a funny and interesting guy. His mysteries would have been solved by now if I didn't have a serious boyfriend.
