So my friend was walking down the street this past weekend, and it was a bit chilly, so she was wearing some layers.

Two guys were walking behind her, and one of them commented, “you can’t possibly be cold.”

So, she turned and was friendly to them and said something nicely defending her dress.

The guys responded, “but how can you be cold when you’re so hot?”

She kept walking.

Wow.

Seriously. That is one of the worst lines I’ve ever heard.

Lines can be good if they are something new, or something that is cute. For example, this is completely cheesy, but it might get a laugh and therefore a conversation:

“How much does a penguin weigh?”
“I don’t know…”
“Enough to break the ice.”

I heard that on the radio one morning, I thought that, delivered right – it could be a good line.

All in all, pick up lines can be a necessary evil. Most of the time they are cheesy or too bold (does whistling or saying crude things to someone count as a “pick up line”?)

Girls - what are the best and worst pick up attempts you’ve heard? What made them work or not work for you?
Guys - what are your tired and true lines? Does it mean you do or don’t have good game if you can use a line properly? Should you need to have a line to get an in, or not?
