I put this post in the general discussion area too. then i saw this advice board, and i thought'd it'd fit better here. hope that's not a major fo-paw*

here's a quote taken from Nick Mclaren. This guy's a frickin' genius, everything he says is pure gold. Enjoy

"Stop worrying about a foolproof opening line. Most 'foolproof' opening lines are verbal sucide... An obvious line will cause her to immediately raise her draw bridge and prepare to pour boiling oil on you if you attempt to scale her castle walls... Keep it simple and natural, something that won't make her want to kick you in the groin. The easiest method of opening a conversation is to position yourself near the girl you're interested in and then wait for something to happen that you can comment on. If you catch her watching some dancers who are embarassingly bad, you can lean over and say, 'dancing just doesn't come easily to some people, does it?... the most successful lines are the ones that are the easist for her to respond to...That's all you need. You're a nice guy, not a smartass. You're glad to see she's having fun. You're likeable. It's a good first impression"

I urge you guys to try this strategy. Chick's galore; i give it my personal GAR-ON-TEE . Try it out, and then reply to this post and let me know how it worked out.

oooh, jets... What you trying to say man? hehe In any case, i'm no ugly duckling... It's just that "Hi" doesn't really open the converation up now does it?

Or do girls just stick their tongues down your throat after looking at your god-like face?

zfleebin

Hi does work you just have to know how to use it. I agree with this guys says but I think that his example is pretty bad. I dont think you should start off your conversation with a girl by being critical of others it doesnt say much about your personality.

Minx

From a ladies point of view here - quite frankly if I've been eyeballing a hottie up across the room then "hello" works just fine when he approaches!
No cheesy lines pick up lines....please, they really DON'T work!

"nice shoes - wanna fuck!" Ahahahahahaha!!!! No, sorry, I just couldn't help myself. I totally agree with the examples here. I also agree that opening up with making fun of someone else may backfire immediately. How 'bout maybe asking to recommend a drink, like you haven't been in the bar before? I don't know... I thought I had something, but then a girl walked by and I got distracted...

Agree with that but always follow up with a compliment.Chicks love compliments.But be natural and confident and mean what you say or you just may be seen as a superficial jerk trying to score some one time booty.

"Shake dat ass and try to get it lose" ...say this after you show her your gun in its holster

That's the problem, most guys want to just say a little something and have women fall all over them. "Hi" is a great way to start, then build it up from there. If she says hi back without even looking at you, like trying to ignore you, then you can usually move on to someone more interested (or try to batter down the walls, which can be fun too ). If she says hi and pays attention to you, then you follow up with a question about the music, or the bar, or just about anything.

After a couple of minutes of small talk then look around a bit and tell her you really need another drink because you're empty. Tell her that your friend said he'd be back in a bit, and you don't want to miss him. "I'll make you a deal, if you do me a favor and keep an eye out for him for me, I'll bring you and your friends back a few drinks with mine" That puts her in a position where she's helping you out and she'll feel better about letting you buy her a drink even if she's not terribly interested in you, more of a trade. When you get back, she'll usually talk to you while she's drinking just to be polite if for no other reason, but it gives you more time to convince her that she really should be interested in you.

I'm not suggesting that you use that situation as some kind of line either. What I'm saying is that you need to arrange for her to spend enough time with her so that you can convince her that she really wants to get to know you better aka another date, or a phone number, sex in a car in the parking lot etc. You can use a pool game, asking her for help picking songs on a juke box, helping her get away from a guy that she's obviously not interested in, anything really where you get more time, and she doesn't feel that you're all over her being creepy.

This lone always worked for me....

I've had good luck with, "Hi! I'm Brian."

I have only recently started trying to meet women in situations in which pickup lines are effective but I met a girl, we dated for a month before she broke my heart.. the other two were taken, but one is a good friend now. So I'd say it works pretty well, allthough unless your name is actually Brian, it's going to make an interesting conversation afterward as to why you lied about your name, so I would use your own. The trick isn't in the pickup line, the trick is to have something to ask them right afterward in order to start a conversation.

"If u were a booger i would pick you first!" nah i dunno i dont ever really use pick up lines...

He's obviously never tried wearing an ugly shirt, walking up to a girl, pointing the index fingers at her with one shoulder and one eyebrow cocked, and saying: "Hey HEY HEY!!! There's a party in my pants, and YOU'RE invIIIIIIITED!!!"

How about?
"Hey, how's it going?"

It asks her about her.
And hopefully you do care, and it's not just a line.

You can always use Astronaut Jones' line "Why don't you drop out of that green jumpsuit and show me that fat ass?"

snowgoose

This has worked for me, simply approach and say "its lucky you are here tonight, that famous guy (use your own name here) is going to be here" and then immediately leave the scene for a few minutes, go get a drink or go to the bathroom whatever. Then return and simply approach and say" Hi I am (use your own name), nice to meet you". This always gets a laugh and is a good ice breaker for starting a conversation.

Suave

Cheesy pickup lines can be fun if you're just messing around with the possibility that they'll fall for it. But yeah, don't go in and use one with any expectations.

"20 stone penguin"
she says "um... what?"
you shrug and reply "I just wanted to say something that would break the ice"

Yeah... I dont have a girlfriend.

JS Strider and Strangefamous - > You would've had me with both of those lines, i'm a sucker for anything that makes me giggle.

Most lines have to be said with the least amount of cheese possible. If a girl can tell you're faking it or trying to hard, consider your balloon popped.

The most standard approach i've been hit with was "Hey, you're lookin empty, can I buy you a drink"... " I said, "Depends on what you're buying (teasing him)" He said "Don't move, i'll be right back", Came back with my favourite drink, kid was golden, lol, So we danced and talked a while and it was fun!

If a guy can't take a joke, or laugh or be real, then i'm not interested at all.

LOL!

Just the mental image of that made me spit all over my monitor. That's freakin awesome dude.

woOt?

I am fugly as can be, but I've found that the best pick up lines are using no pick lines at all.

pinkie

"You wanna play a game of pool?"

~or~

"Do you canoe?"

Unless you're a creepy freak!

DJ Happy

A friend of mine was inspired one night. Upon seeing a girl he fancied, he took a chair in his hand, walked over to the table she and her friends were sitting at, put the chair down and asked, "Is anyone sitting here?"

Worked for him.

tomdom

haha ... might try that.. cept id just stand there nodding till she said something.. haha its better trying and failing then not trying at all... in this case... unless she ends up hating u and u see her often... hehe..

if your good looking the pickup line wont matter..

probibly my best option is just going next to a girl and doing something totally stupid (coz that's the kind of guy i am, i do the dumbest things and people laugh..) and then saying something even stupider and sparking a convo with me talking crap.

lol and that's what usually works for me, getting the girl to laugh, and then u come across as a funny guy and u just build on that by hassling what ur wearing like "does this shirt make me look gay?" or just generally hassling urself in a confident way. That way u dont come across as an arsehole who loves himself and u dont come across as someone who cares about what people think about what u wear. But you come across (if done right) as funny and well natured.

I mean being funny is probably my only way of meeting new girls .. i guess looks come in to it... too, but i don't enjoy calling myself goodlooking as i hate everyone whose up themselves so

BUT YEAH thats just me and people have to experiment with what works for them ... but im pretty sure that a mix of confidence,looks and originaliaty will go far in a world where everyone is looking for something they can love. ... or not or whatever..

HEHE OK tar that was bassically a load of bull0x but yeah 2 cents spent and i was bored and that prolly came out as slightly narrow minded and a bit off target and off topic but NEVERMIND.

greyeyes

That line just rocks! I'm going to have to try it out sometime, just for kicks.

"I would make out with you for free."

Averett

My response to that would be: "I wouldn't make out with you even if you paid me"



Basically, lines that seem like they're scripted, and I wouldn't respond well to that..

I heard this really drunk guy spit that line out to a girl and she just about fell out of her chair laughing. The dude was so wasted no line could have worked for him. It was pretty funny though.

Looks like I have to find some bad dancers...

Just walk up and start a conversation like you would with anyone else. Be honest about your attraction, but don't be an ass about it. That's all there is to it.
