are pick up lines really that bad?

I'm talking about old time lines like "did you fall from heaven, since I'd have to call God to say an angel is missing!"

I remember growing up in the late 80s/early 90s, and this is often how guys got girls. Is it the case now (since the noughties at the least) that these pick-up lines have become cliche, or were more suited to the popular culture of past eras?

The way I see it, the line itslf IS cliche and frankly cheesy. But using them shows humour and ****iness, and essentially using these to irk women's interest. So is the tool bad, but the methodology sound?

It depends on the girl/situation too.
Some pick up lines are funny and some are cheesy.
If your game is good, you can change her reaction the pick up line to your advantage. I watched some videos of Kvip

It depends on what the chat up lines are and who uses them.

I can say some pretty outrageous stuff and get away with it, because I have that cheeky, chappy persona about myself. I love and indulge in slapstick humour, where as if my friend was to behave like that, people would think he was a freak of nature.

As for chat up lines, I just don't use them, they're old, they're lame and most women are turned off by them (that's what experience tells me).
