[http://www.pickuphelp.com/](http://www.pickuphelp.com/) So would these work on you? I kinda liked **What does it feel like to be the most beautiful girl in this room?** But what is up with **Baby did you fart, 'cause you blow me away!**?? ---

Well, for me the very most effective sort of “line” would be something along the lines of “Hello, my name is Xxxx.” or some variant, thereof. To me, anything else sounds kinda sleazy, definitely cheesy and mechanically rehearsed. ---

> [@](#): > > Would these chat-up lines work on you (male and female)? Not all at the same time, but maybe one at a chosen moment… I like: “Hey did you know your ass is in the golden ratio?”. But be warned as it has not been tested. ---

What **Q.E.D.** said, essentially, however this one “Hi, I make more money than you can spend” DID catch my attention briefly. Even my boss laughed at it. Although, he liked the one about the porche. He said, “Ah yes, blood-shot red.” LOL! ---

If these lines are designed to provoke derisive laughter, then they’re outstanding. I think about 1 in 10 is decent. ---

Hmm… too bad I’m married. I coulda used some help. For some reason “_If I told you you had a nice body, would you wrap your legs around my head and ride my face like a Hoppity Horse?_” never worked very well. But hey, it only had to work once. ---

The best pick-up line is one that is never used. ---

I’ve never used lines myself except for this one night I was at my local pub. I was feeling a little mischievous this night so I go up to this one girl; this is the convo that took place: Me: “you know I can bring a girl to orgasm just by kissing her” Her: " :dubious: What? I don’t think so…" Me " Yeah, it’s true, I used to date this girl who was really into accupuncture(sp?) and she showed me there is this way you can kiss a girl coupled with puting your hands on a couple of presure points and you can bring them to orgasm." Her: “Whatever! You’re full of shit…” Me “Well… OK… It’s not like I could _prove_ it to ya or anything” Her “Ok kiss me and show me what you’re talking about.” WE: [kissed] Me after we’re done kissing: “OK I lied” (Laughing my ass off.) ---

I think you meant to say a girl who was really into acupressure. Unless she poked you with needles while kissing.
