There’s an early Spike Lee film called “She’s Gotta Have It” which I saw a long time ago but from what I recall there is an early montage scene comprising one man after another reciting pickup lines at the female lead. Her favourite was a guy who said something like “Baby, anywhere you wanna go I’ll take you, and anything you wanno do I’ll do with you, 'cos I can’t afford not to see you again”.
Pickup lines aren’t my thing (and being single is a long time ago for me) but when I’ve mentioned this to female friends subsequently they’ve always said it’s a hellava line.
Keep clicking NEXT. Ignore the the second comic (it’s just filler) but Black Mage is just FULL of bad pickup lines. And White Mage is very capable of taking care of herself, thank you very much. Keep clicking until she agrees to join the party.
This one occurred to me after assisting a female police officer last week. Shared it with a co-worker who agreed that even under the best of circumstances it was bad:
A friend in college actually had a follow-up line for when he was turned down by the ladies. For as much as he talked about it though, I’m not sure he ever actually had the balls to use it.
“If your pussy’s so good, why don’t you eat it yourself.”
“Your clothes and my clothes would look FANTASTIC strewn around my bedroom floor.”
True story - I was out carousing at a dive bar with a friend once, who decided to put the moves on a girl. He pointed towards her and announced to the room at large: “I’ve had my eye on you all evening, and I’m playing ths song just for YOU!”
Of course you know he put the wrong song on. I can’t remember what he meant to play, but Nine Inch Nails came on instead. My friend was especially mortified when Trent Reznor starts singing “BOW DOWN TO THE ONE YOU SERVE, YOU’RE GOING TO GET WHAT YOU DESERVE!”
The girl was actually amused (at the mistake, not the song selection), but didn’t go with him.
I once had a guy approach me in a bar on my 30th birthday and point at the ground - “hey, I think you dropped your nametag.” Near my feet was a sugar packet. Clever, but it didn’t really get him anywhere, since he couldn’t have been more than 21.
"HOWEVER, I did learn that I do still, in fact, have it going ON, as I got catcalled at from some drunkish dude who said, and I quote, “HEY BABY, I KNOW LAMAZE” as I waddled by. "
