10 Lame Pickup Lines

If there’s one piece of advice to glean from this article, it is to never use these 10 lame pickup lines. That is, unless striking out miserably is your goal. Ranging from hilariously cheesy to downright repulsive, the following pickup lines will attract women much like raw meat and a “Rambo” movie.

1. “You know what’d look good on you? Me.” Nothing says classy to a woman like painting the romantic image of you on top of her the first time you meet. If you’re looking to get punched in the face by her boyfriend, this pickup line is a definite must-try.
2. “I’m here, what are your other two wishes?” This pickup line is lame mostly because it makes zero sense. Are you the genie granting the wish, or the wish itself? Either way, if you actually use this line, you’re still a loser.
3. “They call me coffee, because I grind so fine.” What’s often funny about this pickup line is that the guy who uses it has a 99.9% chance of embarrassing himself if he actually gets out on the dance floor. Also, the entire line relies on an unbearably cheesy rhyme. Obviously, there’s a reason his high school garage band never hit it big.
4. “I would buy you a drink, but I’d be too jealous of the glass.” Instead of trying out this painfully lame pickup line, just be honest. Walk up to her confidently, look into her eyes, and say, “I’m too cheap to buy you a drink.”
5. “Hello, I’m a thief, and I’m here to steal your heart.” Though this line may be popular in third world countries with thriving black markets, the guys who use it there typically mean it in a different way.
6. “You must be a broom, because you just swept me off my feet.” Comparing the object of your affection to a dirty cleaning utensil usually isn’t the best form of flattery. Save this lame pickup line for, well, no one.
7. “I lost my telephone number, can I borrow yours?” It may be an old classic, but this pickup line has long passed its retirement age. Besides, no one calls each other anymore – it’s all about Facebook.
8. “The body is made of 90% water, and I’m thirsty.” Unless the girl you’re using this line on is really into the Twilight Series, it’s going to fail miserably. A tip: women don’t find cannibalism to be a turn-on.
9. “Nice dress, can I talk you out of it?” This pickup line is lame for several reasons. First, she will be offended. Second, she can respond with a simple no. Third, resorting to a line like this likely means that you don’t have the communication skills to talk anyone into or out of anything.
10. “You’re so sweet, you could put Hershey’s out of business.” You may think this pick up line packs the perfect one-two-three punch for a woman. It’s not offensive, it's approaching genuineness, and it includes chocolate. But, it also sounds suspiciously like something her grandpa said to her when she was five. Better luck next time.
