5 Pickup Lines That Actually Work

The mystical pickup lines that work, they shine out there like a beacon of hope for struggling single men looking for a way to land the love of their life or just a night of intimacy. The hope is that by uttering one sentence with the right combination of words they will unlock the magical pleasures of the women before them. Belief in these hopes is the essential ingredient in the failure pickup lines. For a pickup line to work it needs to be seen more as a tone setter than a deal maker. With this in mind it is important to continue on the tone established with the pickup line. Remember the goal is not accomplished after the first sentence and the first line should be viewed as just an instrument in accomplishing the goal.

Pickup lines that work are going to have to capture her imagination. You want her mind to be thinking of you, if she wants to or not. The best way to do this is to challenge her. Make her feel like she has to win you over. All of which can be done with an initial and brief opening conversation, with the tone set by one of the pickup lines. The best way to capture a woman’s imagination is to get them wondering—wondering if they were just complimented or insulted. Commenting on their appearance is often the easiest way to go about that. With that in mind here are some pickup lines that work.

  1. The Clothing Comment For pickup lines that work, look no further than the clothes. Find something in their wardrobe that is a little unique or stands out. Chances are they are wondering about it anyway. Shoes, purses or belts are often a good place to start. For instance, if she is wearing a belt that is under her breasts you could say, “Wow. Those must be long pants. Isn’t that uncomfortable?” After a quick discussion in which you explain you assumed that because of her belt being so high, it will likely ultimately lead to her saying the belt is just for looks. At that point you can excuse yourself.
  2. The Make-up Comment If a woman’s makeup is slightly unique or stands out try this line: “I couldn’t help but notice your makeup, it’s very interesting. Do you do it yourself?”
  3. The Hair Comment Maybe a woman’s hair color catches your eye, if so, try asking, “How long has your hair been that color?”
  4. The Irreverent Comment Not one of the heavy hitters in the arsenal, but it can also be a pickup line that works. If you are not noticing anything about the person that you see worth commenting about, you can always try, “you are the smallest person I have ever seen.”
  5. The Non-Comment The most effective way to occupy the mind of a woman may be by not noticing her at all. Of course, she has to notice you not noticing, for this to be effective. If a woman you are interested in is with a group of friends, especially if the friends are less attractive than her, strike up a conversation with the group, paying special attention to not pay attention to your target. She will not be used to this and you will then become a test to her. She will have to win you over, to prove to herself, she hasn’t lost what she thought she had. This is one of the most effective pickup lines that works.
