Do pick up lines still work on women from USA?

[pickupline35]

I haven’t dated in a long time and I wanna jump back and start meeting someone new. I have never really been good at this dating thing and was wondering… Do pick up lines still work on women from USA? I know it might sound silly, but pick up lines seem like the easiest way to approach them… Maybe get a laugh or two? I appreciate any tips!

One thing guys on here need to understand: Not everything is "one size fits all". Funny pickup lines only work on women with a sense of humor and in the right social setting. It does not work on snobby chicks. When you see a woman, study her for a few minutes and see if she's laughing and having fun. That's probably the woman who will find a pick up line amusing.

Pickup lines are useful in the entire discution with the girl.

You need to incorporate them in your entire kino/escalating/seducation game.


Pickup Line work only with interested girls. They are great openers or discussion material.

So they do still work, you just need to have something more to offer: be a DJ, be fun, be good looking, interesting, not needy, charming etc.

All the good seducers have 0 pickup line because they the pickup line

The problem with using pickup lines on American women is that in general they are too heavy to pick up.

They can work. It's all in the delivery.

If you can get the delivery right you'll find yourself in a conversation at the very least.

This requires some level of self confidence (or no give a sh!t, your choice), and social calibration (reading people as mentioned above.)

The cheesiest line in the world can work just fine with the right delivery. And the best line in the world will flop with lousy delivery.

Attraction works, first and foremost. If she isnt attracted to you it doesnt matter what you say or how you say it. If she isnt attracted to you then thats OK....we arent attracted to every woman that is attracted to us either. Its nothing personal as people have their own preferences on attraction.
But seriously.....if you are a 6 and spend all of your time trying to pull 9's, you are going to have a rude awakening.
I think people can go up or down 2 slots on the grading scale and be fine as long as the other things are in line (below).

Secondly, the outgoing/social/fun loving personality along with an outcome indifferent mentality is needed in today's dating world. Women will decide if you are a fvckable candidate in less than a minute based on attraction alone but you need the personality to gain interest.

Social skills/social presence: This is why its important to take a woman on a date where your face is well known (in a good way). I have a hole in the wall pizza place that has great pizza, good music and atmosphere where the entire staff, including owner know me. This is where I normally take first dates. The people that go there are business people for the most part, all of the servers know me and I have a very positive image there. One particular server knows me very well and he is a really cool dude. He has been know on occasion to throw me compliments when I leave the table to go to the men's room. Things like "Glassguy is a very cool dude. How long have you known him?" and stuff like that. The guy server shakes his head and grins every time I show up with a new date.

If you are going to pull women and gain high interest you have to have the attributes to do so. Solid text game is a bonus but seriously, as long as your text game is good enough to get them out on a date, and you have the looks and attributes that she is interested in, its a done deal.

I can't speak for the women in the USA. But I can tell you this, whenever you are going to use a pickup line, they are always going to be one of these 3 reactions:

1. Hahaha, You're Funny !

2. Ok???

3. HA-HA-You must think you are funny

Basically if someone is digging your humour, it would be the first one.

With the 2nd and 3rd ones, thats where most of the problems start, these 2 and 3 types aren't digging you at all, but they would play with you and humiliate you if you let them, because by using the pick-up line, you just stroked their egos, so they know you must like them in a certain way, so they think they can say/do whatever they want, basically this is the scenario they think I've got this guy wrapped against my fingers.

So basically what I'm trying to say is, you can pretty much tell early on, if they like the pick-up lines or not, if not, the faster you exit, the better for you.
