In the sinngles thread Peter T, says

Perhaps this discussion can be handled using game theory (is that the worst pick-up line ever, or what?).

Well seeing As I've got one, I'll start a new thread.
My wife's pickup line when she met me (I guess it was a good one really, 'cos it worked) was.

"You're a Mother F***ing liar!!"

I proved her wrong so she cussed me again and bought me a drink. The conversation, of course, improved after that

The line someone in the best single line thread attributed to a country song actually started out as a pickup line: "If I said you had a beautiful body would you hold it against me." But I think I topped that many years ago in a body exchange bar between Visalia and Tulare county: When I came into the bar I saw a woman about 6'2" tall, probably weighing a very well distributed 180 pounds--I blush to remember this, but I went up to her and said, "You are a hell of a lot of a woman, and I'd like to get my body next to yours. Wanna dance?" She of course said no. Top that if you can. --seed

I was in a bar once, and this very drunk fella came up and introduced himself. I was very uninterested and tried to politely tell him so. He said:

"I'm not just some a**hole trying to pick you up"

Fortunately, the bartender was a very good friend of mine and asked:

"Well, then, what kind of a**hole ARE you?

An orthopedic doctor met a woman of questionable virtue (as they used to say) in a local bar. She, unfortunately, was quite arthritic so he took a medical interest in her. As he examined her he found one non-arthritic area and mused, "What's a good joint like you doing in a girl like this?"

I was in a local watering hole, which was full of women's softball teams. I was quietly bending my elbow with an old pal, standing at the end of the bar, when I felt someone stroking my forearm. I turned to see what or who, when, need I say feeling pretty good about myself, when the woman said, "Hi! Wanna arm wrestle?" I finished my beer and went home....

"Come on over to my place, honey, and I'll give you the words to that song." This, in 1957, after a concert I did at a student center in Berkeley, when Caroline came up to me backstage and asked about the words to one of the songs I had sung. Might appear to be a pretty lame hustle, but we've now been married for forty-two years.

I always said doing folk music was a nice way to meet girls!

Friend of mine (Honest! He really is!) used to actually occasionally succeed by approaching very drunk women, looking them deeply and sincerely in the eye, and asking:

'Fornicate?'

He claims it worked a good third of the time. Apparently most of them were so drunk that they didn't exactly understand the question...

This is very embarrassing, but what the h. Whenever I hear someone say (as a joke), "Would you like to come up and see my etchings?" I am reminded (or if I am not reminded, my mother who overheard the conversation will remind me) of the time when I was 9 years old and in love with Jana Wegner (who would have nothing to do with me, and is now serving time in L.A. for Tax Fraud with Darlene Gillespie of the Mouseketeers. No, no, that is just sour grapes). Anyway, I sidled up to her as we were waiting for the school bus, and said, "How would you like to come and play with my Etch-a-Sketch after school?". I had this fantasy about my turning the left knob, and her turning the right knob, and we would paint beautiful music together, if you get my drift, or you know anything about this archaic toy.
She went off with Jim Morrison instead (No, she didn't.)
I got a Spiragraph later, but never tried it out as a good line (though it made great lines).
Yours, Peter T.

Sandy is quite right about "folk music was a nice way to meet girls". Years ago my friend, Dave, would pick up women at a local bar by telling them that he had a housemate who could play some really good folk music. It always worked beautifully -- for Dave, that is.

When there are two girls you can say, 'could you tell your ugly friend to go away.'

Famous British disco line is :- 'go and get your coat pet, you've been pulled'

Come over here dear, sit on my knee and we'll talk about the first thing that comes up.

Famous Glasgow night-club dialogue is :-

Boy -Are you dancin' ? Girl - Are you askin' ? Boy - I'm askin' Girl - Then I'm dancin'

Do you have a light, is generally a good one for smokers as it initiates interaction.

Last time I scored I was standing at a bar and I simply made a comment - 'thats a girlie drink' or something like that and smiled in a friendly way. I was deliberately being sexist - it is an easy way into a conversation and if she over-reacts to that kind of comment then she has no sense of humour and is probably not worth spending time with.

Seems to me its not what you say, its the way that you say it combined with whether the person you are saying it to is actually interested in socialising.

A number of years ago I got a note while on stage. I opened it expecting to see a request (probably for "Fields of Athenrae", or "Cat's in the Cradle") and to my shock it said "excuse me for being forward but I think you're very attractive. Could I take you out to dinner?" with a name and the location where she was sitting. I was dumbstruck. Now, you have to understand that a lot of performers have seriously low self images and would be far too embarrassed to employ any of the lines used in this thread. The courting process in folk music often is related to the songs (see Sandy's post) followed by long discussions, many cups of coffee, chess(!??) and can often result in breakfast the next morning.
Over the rest of the set I quickly found my performer's extrovert side rapidly diminishing and the old shy introvert one taking over. Also, I was VERY pleased and looking forward to finding out who this was. At the end of the set, I went over to the corner of the room to meet this person and was confronted by my friends Bill and Norm, who I hadn't seen come in, laughing hysterically! "If you want, we can send you TWO notes next time" they burbled. I'd been seriously had.

Ok, ok. I'm new here, but I have one I can't resist sharing.

When I lived in New Mexico, I ran into this guy in Santa Fe who billed himself as a psychic. He was a gen-yoo-ine New Age cutie, with a tumble of curls down around his shoulders and a shirt opened to his navel, with the appropriate Atlantis-looking pendant all nestled in that sweet fur on his chest. This was his pickup line:

"I'm a psychic and I know a thing or two about you. You're stuck in this life, and you'll always be stuck because you and I have past-life business together. Unless we finally consummate our relationship, you're doomed to keep repeating the same old mistakes you've always made."

It didn't work on me, but he swore it actually did work -- a LOT.

Which reminds me of a joke: Q: Why did the psychic cross the road?

A: He was channeling a chicken...

But I must say that among the qualities I most treasure is not so much being charming, but having the capacity to allow oneself to be charmed. Says something important about the person's ability to surrender -- without which love is an utter impossibility.

Bert, I take it you mean the revenge. The pick up line wasn't much. He had a fancy middle name, which I had suggested sounded Arthurian, so added that to his introduction to the other woman. We were at a badminton club for school staff, friends and colleagues - he was from another school. Everyone went to the pub after, but I had taken to not doing so, so as to be able to walk home before the pubs closed. He, living near me, had offered a regular lift so I could do so. He started chatting up a student from Eltham in front of me - since he had been gazing at me as if I were Helen of Troy (very disconcerting) until then this was not pleasing. Hearing my own words in the pick-up lines was more so. I went to the pub. He offered the student a lift to the station, telling her it was not out of his way (twice round the one way system, it was), and then realised that there was a problem. He looked at me, as if I were a bloke who would conveniently leave him free to give her the lift. I looked at my watch meaningly. It was late, and he had offered to protect me from being a woman crossing the town alone. "Oh," he said. So I sat in the back seat of his Morris 1000 as he drove her to the station, feeling very smug. It seems very petty, looking back. I really knew that the situation would arise, so it was a little maliciously that I did go to the pub with the intention of putting a spanner in the works.

Apparently, Sandy isn't alone in thinking folk music is a great way to pick up girls.

I once answered a personal ad because the fellow listed folk music among his interests. Since it was our only stated mutual interest, I asked him about his favorite artists right away when we met for a drink. He hemmed and hawed, and couldn't come up with a single name. When pressed, he said he'd only mentioned folk music in his ad because he thought it would attract a "certain type of woman." I asked him what type that might be and he answered, "Fast."

He was right, too. I was out of there in seconds flat!

I heard this in a Galway pub one night. "Are you taking precautions". I'm not sure if it worked but the girl thought it funny. Another quick story. A small guy goes up to a tall, good looking, girl at a dance. She is standing on a step which gives an extra 5 to 6 inches to her height and he askes her to dance. "Sure you wouldn't satisfy me" she said. "Maybe not" he said "but I sure as hell would satisfy myself"

My friend Dave was an intrepid picker upper. Two incidents come to mind that happened at differenet FSGW Getaways.

He came on to a friend's weekend companion with "I just brushed my teeth and I'd like you to have the full benefit". Didn't work but what a line.

On another occasion, at 3 in the AM, he crawled into a woman's (one he knew) sleeping bag and started getting romantic. At which point, she kind of half awoke and said "Oh Christ David, do you really want to hump a half dead jew?" The romaticism stopped but the laughter nearly knocked the cabin down.

(I never believed in pickup lines..always thought they were the refuge of those who were more interested in quantity than quality....finally figured out how to express it.."I don't want to jump in bed with ANY woman unless we truly enjoyed each other's company OUT of bed")

but I did know a guy once who used to go into the student union and ask women.."hey, baby...how about it?"..and if she said "how about what?", he'd say.."never mind"...we asked him if that didn't get him a LOT of rejections. He said "sure, but I can ask 30-40 in an hour or less, and it usually doesn't take that long"....*shrug*

also, the reverse-- a girl trying out lines.... I was with a friend in that same student union one evening,(he was graduate teaching fellow...Logic & Philosophy)...up walks a girl who was in one of his classes.."Oh, Mr Wilson...you know how you were explaining about inductive & deuctive logic the other day? Well, me & my girlfriend have figured out ANOTHER kind!"..."Oh?" says my buddy, ever interested in new developments.."what is that?"..."well," she smiles, "we are working on seductive logic"....."Hmmm, that makes 4 kinds, then," says my friend with big-eyed seriousness, "because there IS another kind known as 'abductive' logic!..it works like this..."....and after a few minutes, the girl is making excuses to get AWAY from there!! I could barely contain my giggles till she was out of sight.

Ok, ok. Stop me if I've already told you this:

Years ago, when I was an innocent little girl from an Oklahoma town of 5,000 people, I went away to college at the University of Oklahoma and met and was immediately smitten by an adorable Jewish guy from Queens. One thing led to another and FINALLY he asked me to a movie. We went to the movie, walked back to the dorm and were sitting on the hood of my car talking, when suddenly he looked over at me, fingers laced behind his head, elbows up and out in that sexy, "Hey baby" way and he says, "So, do you ball?"

I, who had absolutely never imagined the word "ball" used as a verb meaning "do it like weasels," thought it must be his silly Noo Yawk accent again and he must be talking about BOWLING. So I looked back at him earnestly and said, "Yes, but not very well..."

True story about the worst pickup line ever used on me...

A few years ago I booked entertainment for special events at a Museum. I made arrangements with a group to hear them perform at a local bar one night. After their first set I was very impressed and went back to meet one of the singers and offer them the gig.

I walked up to him and said "Nice set!" He answered "Yours too, babe!" They didn't get the job.

ok, I have to do this...here is a story about a pick-up line..*grin*..(ladies, have YOU ever met a guy like this?)

"....So...there was a young man, oh...maybe 19 yrs old...and he got a summer job in a riding stable.And one day, there comes in to the stable a beautiful young girl...about his age!.Well, he was smitten--his hormones went wild...he could barely look at her without drooling...(you've seen the phenomenon)......So he goes to an older guy who's been working there forever and asks old Sam, "Who is that girl?...Wow...would I like to take her in back of the barn..!"........And old Sam says, "Oh, that's the daughter of one of the richest ranchers in the state...she comes in here almost every weekend to ride."............."Oh, man", says the kid,"I'd give anything to have her as a girlfriend....just look at the way she fills those riding pants..and the shirt too....boy would I like to get my hands on......." "Hey...take it easy", says Sam, "You've got the wrong attitude...she's a nice girl...you need to get to know her...who knows what might happen."...."Oh, sure", says the kid,"a nobody like me? All I'm ever gonna do is look at her and lust...!"oh, now..you just need a way to get acquainted",says Sam,"You're a nice guy, right?...good looking?, smart?...you just don't move in the same social circles as her...so you need a gimmick!"........"Oh, yeah?", says the kid, "like what?" "Well," says old Sam, "you work in her riding stable, you just need some way to go riding with her...look, try this---take her favorite horse and paint its hooves green....then when she comes in and asks for her horse, I'll send you with it......and she'll say, "Oh--my horse's hooves are green!"....and you say,"why so they are...I wonder how that happened?"...and she'll worry about it ...and you can suggest that you ride along with her...just to be sure nothing goes wrong! Then you get another horse and ride with her. Then you can talk...first about horses...then about her family, maybe...and you can tell her about your job and how you are working your way thru college. A couple of rides like that and she'll see what a good guy you are..and soon she'll be inviting you over to her place to meet her folks...pretty soon you'll be over there a lot, and you could end up going steady....and one of these days, maybe in a few months, romance will be blooming, and you'll be snuggled up to that pretty girl somewhere, enjoying all those charming curves.." So, the kid does it...he paints her horses hooves green..and sure enough, next weekend she comes in and asks for her horse. So, Sam calls the kid and tells him,"Okay, here's your chance...just remember what I told you....when she worries about the green hooves, you offer to ride with her and strike up a conversation,,,and if you play your cards right, you'll be playing with HER in no time!" So, the kid leads the horse up, and the girl takes one look and says , "Oh, my goodness, my horse's hooves are GREEN!"......And the kid says, "They sure are!! Lets fuck!!

The interesting thing about this is that a fair portion of the entries are dumb-head things men have said to women, trying to pick them up or just to get the ball rolling. And the truth is, SOMEone has to get things rolling, so if the spirit's good, the words are just something to pry the door open a wee bit.

BUT ... I occasionally see a nice someone and would like to let him know I'd like to continue the conversation -- and I usually don't even have the chutzpah to come up with some of the dumb-head things we've seen here. And if I did, given that I was raised in the time and culture in which nice girls just didn't make the first, second or third moves, no matter what I say comes out dumb and awkward. So I try to be very forgiving of awkwardness in these situations, as long as the intent is to get acquainted and not to insult. Can't blame a feller for trying.

I detest innuednos and assumptions. When I was divorced the first time, at 21, I went out a lot, alone. (IT seemed a lot safer back then:-) Anyway, I found things worked a lot better if I was just really up front with the guys, sometimes blatantly so.

One time, in a forerunner of an upper crust yuppie type bar, a silver & turquoise salesman asked me to have a drink with him and go back to his room. He offered me jewelry! I told him I'd be happy to ahve the drink, but I didn't want his jewelry, wouldn't go to his room, and if he thought the drink was going to mellow me enough to have his way, he was sadly mistaken.

Usually when a guy asked if he could buy me a drink, my standard response, admittedly a crass way of putting it, was "Yes, but don't expect me to fuck you for it!" Surprisingly, most of them seemed relieved that it was brought out into the open; often we went on to have a really enjoyable evening together with them being respectful and non-pressuring.

I don't envy anyone looking these days. There was a cover article in the Utne Reader in 1987/88 called the "New Monogamy". It was about married couples who were staying together, even though they didn't want to, because of the fear of AIDS. I am thankful everyday that my kids made it safely through that landmine; I lost too many friends to it.

I mean, I was a GIRL SCOUT, for heaven's sake. We were trained that the first rule of flag etiquette is to bring it in out of the weather and to fold it up at sunset.

The direct approach always worked on me. One very attractive woman came to me after a performance and asked "My family own an island in Greece, and, I'd like to take you there." I figured she was a nut, so, didn't go. Another asked if I would like to go home with her, I told her I was married, and couldn't do that. She said "I dont want to buy you, just borrow you for the weekend." After the divorce, I took her up on it. Another simply said "Would you like to share my bed tonight"? I said, "Yes" we formed a long friendship.

My favorite pickup line back when I used to actually try to pick girls up (married now) was to just walk right up to a girl and say, "Will you marry me?" with a slight but sincere smile. When I was lucky, she would actually look at me and say, "No." At which point I would sigh and say, "OK, will you sleep with me?" And when I was lucky she might laugh and say, "No." At which point I would say, "OK... will you at least have a drink with me?"

Actually worked a few times. Led to some nice relationships. Sigh.

I agree, Kendall. I think pickup lines are something that occur primarily in jokes, hardly ever in real life...although that depends on the crowd one associates with.

I had a friend who was brilliant at picking up women, but not because of his pickup lines. It was because he was funny, enthusiastic, good looking, and always seemed to be having a great time. They just couldn't resist trying to find out why he was enjoying life so much, I guess.

Plus, he REALLY LIKED WOMEN, and that always helps.

Charles also had a more elaborate, practiced line. He'd pick his targets carefully, and seemed to guess right more often then not, but he'd say, "Darlin', you are beautiful. Is someone spoilin' you? I hope someone's spoilin' you ... hey, have you ever been kidknapped, taken to Hawaii for two weeks, spoiled and shown things you only read about before in books? You don't even have to go home to pack, I'll buy you all new shit when we get there."

I watched him deliver this line in a single breath to two different girls, at different times while we were seated on an airplane and the line of other passenegers filed past us getting into the back. I'll bet they both were looking for him after we landed, but he'd poured down several glasses of scotch during the flight and he'd long forgotten them!
