Overheard & Overused Pick Up Lines

Maybe it's a sign of the times and shows our inability to communicate that men will resort to some of the dumbest and truly lame introductory lines when trying to pick up a woman. One wonders first of all how they learn these lines: do they have a class or a brother or friend passes the info on to them at puberty? Perhaps a father or uncle is their mentor and has shared these tips as a man to man thing upon their coming of age? Whatever, to hear the same lines and have other women of various ages mention what they have heard, it almost sounds like some tribal lore that is passed down over the ages. Hard to believe that any of these pick up lines actually work except for eliciting laughter.

Him: I'm a married bachelor. . .

Translation - what he is really saying: My wife doesn't care if I fool around. . . or

Don't have any expectations of this going somewhere. . .

Him: I want you to have my baby. . .

Overheard Reply: Go ahead and start without me. . .

Him: What's your sign?

Her: Obviously, unlucky - I'm out of here!

Have us men really lost touch with the reality of "how to pick a woman up"? I have heard a few of these lines and I've not used them *blush* *blush even more*, but seriously, we live in a world where women seem to rule much more than what they once did. They are becoming the stronger race, perhaps, and are we, as men, being left behind? From these lines I can only assume so.

Huh. Okay, I'm married (15 years and counting) for the 7th time, so...pick up lines (*wracks ancient memory*):

1. Blind date set up by mutual friend. No line.

2. "Here's what's in my mind. Take it for what it's worth." (As I handed her 13 pages of poetry in a plain manila office folder.)

3. "Would you like to get together?" (During a phone call; contact via dating service.)

4. "You're really full of yourself, aren't you?" (Her to me.)

5. "May I have this dance?" (At a singles dance.)

6. "Dave said you're a nice guy and I should call you." (Her calling me in a Leap Year, clued in by mutual friend Dave.)

7. "Do you have a quarter I could borrow for five minutes?" (Her to me, in a laundromat, for the dryer.)

No bars. Never hung out in 'em much.

Voted Up and Stuff.

This one was really funny. I've heard some wild lines in my time too. Do guys really think those old worn out lines will work? I guess sometimes they do.

@molometer - Glad you liked it and hopefully had a chuckle or two; my motivation was just to create something a bit silly about communication between the sexes. Thanks for taking the time to stop by and comment, GClark

By the time I met my wife, I had quit using the dumb line. I said it was a good conversation starter, not a successes. I have usually lived in beach towns. People tend to be more casual and loose, so I never got too much flack.

As one who smoked her share of pot during the Woodstock era, I'm not surprised WD's line got the desired reaction. Made me burst out laughing...in a good way! Granted, I know WD to be a funny but loveable guy, so if the same line had been delivered by some sleezeball I didn't know, the guy would've got nothing but a blank stare in reply before I walked away.

I should mention I was once a cocktail waitress, and until WD's comment, thought I'd heard EVERY pickup line imaginable. Good one, WD! Ten points for originality! ;D

@WD Curry 111 - Thanks for sharing - Would have thought that line would have ended any conversation. I would put your pick-up line at the top of worst lines every heard. Maybe your wife thought you were a work in progress - you know how women like to view a man as the person he could be. Don't let her down. GClark

I have no need for pick up lines, my wife would kill me. I had the dumbest pick-up line ever in my day. It actually worked as a conversation starter, though, "You look familiar . . . didn't we ball at Woodstock?"

After 24 hour Cartoon Network, video games, ESPN, and Cable TV, it's a wonder us MEN can even communicate without exxagerated gesticulations and monosyllabic grunts and snorts. Besides, WOMEN, as a species confound and intimidate us.

I personally blame women for this phenomenon. Every time I tried to say something intelligent to one, my brain turned to peanut-butter. No wonder whenever I opened my mouth, something dorky stuff would come out. Fortunately for me I'm married now and am confortable with being a dork. What a relief! I no longer have to pretend I'm not a goober!

Seriously, really lame pick up lines only come from...really lame guys; a direct result of societal reverse-evolutionary neanderthall genetic inbreeding, a condition aggravated by watching too many moronic juvenille movies like American Pie...which is why they tend to congregate in bars which resemble caves and attempt to impress the girls with their neanderthal antics.
