"Damn girl you shit with that ass?"

Has to be up there

[–] [email protected] 66 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Are you from Mississippi? Because you're the only Miss whose piss I'd like to sippee.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 year ago

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Not a pick up line but- "I don’t think I can do better than you and I know you can't do better than me, so I guess we should just get married." She sighed and said "yeah, you're probably right".

[–] [email protected] 46 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I dont wanna shit on you, but the "I cant do better than you" is sweet and I used it with my BF, but the "You can't do better than me" is many times used by abusive partners as a way to diminish their self-esteem and make sure that they dont leave them, because they really think they cant do better than their current abusive partner.

I believe you said it with the best intentions, but is something that people does.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, I hear you but context is important. She's good and safe, so am I. We have 2 kids together, been together for 20 years, have ducks, a rabbit, share all expenses and income exactly 50/50 and have had each others back through the worst of other people.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm not shitting on you, but "we have ducks" has to be the funniest justification why the relationship isn't abusive I've seen yet.

Yeah. Been together for like 20 years now.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You both sound like a solid 5

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Hey now. On a good day and if you squint, I could pass as a 6. Maybe 6.5.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Hell yeah. Nice.

[–] [email protected] 56 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I once tried the most cliche of them all - did it hurt when you fell from heaven. She actually found it funny. In the sense that it's so stupid that it flips around and becomes funny. Nothing ever came of it but we had a nice chat on the otherwise empty train.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

imo the purpose of those cheesy lines is more to break the ice and get your prospective partner to laugh and loosen up rather than to swoon them, sounds like it worked to me.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

imo the purpose of those cheesy lines is more to break the ice [...] rather than to swoon them

wait so you guys actually get to continue the conversation after saying the line?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Me? Definitely not lmao. I met my current and only partner on a discord server for depressed people and we bonded over being weird shut ins

[–] [email protected] 47 points 1 year ago (1 children)

At a club, I just asked her "Wanna make out?" and we did. Very weird that worked.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago

I use this a lot and people seem to appreciate the honesty.

[–] [email protected] 44 points 1 year ago

Bingus bongus I want your shlongus

(It still worked)

"Did you know you can save 15% or more by switching to Geico?"

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Me: Have you ever had your bellybutton kissed?

Her: Yes, of course I have.

Me: From the inside?

It didn’t work, but she laughed.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My immediate thought was pregnancy

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

yeah what is this supposed to imply?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That he wanted to crawl into her vagina and bite his way through to the belly button? IDK, I'm not a belly-button fetishist.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Maybe we just found the account of an alien chestburster.

They're a cunning limguist.

In high school, I dm'd a guy in my class "you're handsome bro"

His response was something like, "you too man I appreciate it!"

We both assumed each other were straight after that, but like a week before graduation, he randomly tells me he had a crush on me. And when I tell him I felt the same, he was like "damn I assumed that DM was probably only a compliment"

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

Lost opportunity for love because he ignored the β€œno homo” rule. Tragic.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Does this guy think straight men often slide into the DMs to tell other men they're handsome?

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not a line per say but my friend and I were shooting pool against 2 dudes randomly. One serenaded us with Bruno Mars β€œJust the Way You Are.” A short while after he randomly proceeded to guess both of our weights very incorrectly. lol I guess we made him a nervous.

In a man vie theater: STFU to a girl a row behind me. It worked.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't get it. He told her to STFU? And she liked it and was "picked up"?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago

Sorry, lots of typos in previous message.

So yes, I was in a cinema and told a girl to stfu. Next day she saw me in a bar, recognized me and was like: β€œfuck that, you told me to stfu. It was you.” We dated for a month or so.

"Hey, you like Rob Zombie movies?" (We have been together for 7 years now.)

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

"I shat in my bed, can I sleep in yours?"

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Amber Heard, is that you?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I feel like we need to add the extra constraint to the question, and worked. What's the worst pick up line you ever used that worked.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Naw, I think this is better. I've seen the "... and worked" version of this question lots of times, but I want the actual bottom of the barrel this time.

Don't get me wrong; "... and worked" still yields funny answers every time, but this is more interesting to me.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

When I was an edgy and cynical generic college liberal, I once said "Hello. How would you like to join me for a predictable 'eat or drink something' ritual that implies politely that I am sexually attracted to you?" very-intelligent

It worked for a brief relationship, but still. Not exactly strong foundations were laid with that. cringe

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's such a Bazinga type pickup line lmao

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Yes, it was. soypoint-1

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Watching team America at the movies, leaned over to my date and said "I promise I will never die"

Worked a treat!
