Cheesy
Pick Up Lines That Are Great For Attracting Women

You're in a club and you've
spotted a drop dead gorgeous girl on the other side of the room - what
are you going to do about it?
For many men, their honest
answer would be "nothing". They spend the evening rooted to the spot,
pint in hand, staring through the crowds in the hopes that willpower
alone will draw that hot chick closer. I don't need to tell you that
this approach is doomed to failure - if there's one way to guarantee
that nothing will happen with a girl, it's to do absolutely nothing to
attract her.
No, if you want a hot chick's
name and number, the only way to get it is to go on over there and talk
to her.
But what if you believe that
that's easier said than done?
Approaching a woman unprepared
can seem like a terrifying prospect. We know that we need to seem witty,
smart and sexy if we're going to hold her attention, but we also know
that our brains cannot be relied upon to present us in our best light.
Faced with a gorgeous girl, addled with alcohol, and in the full
knowledge that all our friends are watching us, we having a sneaking
suspicion that we'll somehow find ourselves telling her about snails or
the price of bin bags.
This is where corny pick up
lines come in. Armed with a great one liner, we can go over to that girl
safe in the knowledge that the first thing to come out of our mouth will
be amusing.
But do pick up lines really
work? After all, girls seem to spend so much time complaining about the
terrible lines which men have attempted to use on them, it's enough to
give any guy doubts. Are our favorite one liners really so cocky,
cliched or downright tacky that we haven't a hope of success?
Not necessarily. Pick up lines
can be a powerful tool, but you have to learn to use them well.
Start by avoiding any lines
which have been around longer than you have. "If I told you you had a
beautiful body, would you hold it against me?" might have worked in your
grandfather's day, but modern chicks associate it with seventies
sit-coms. Likewise, any line which involves angels or phoning her
mother.
Steer clear of saying anything
which involves too much staging or too many props. It might seem witty
to intentionally spill a drink, crush the ice cubes underfoot, then
remark, "Now that the ice is broken, how about it?", but it's a waste of
a good drink and it isn't going to reap you any rewards. If your pick up
line is too intricate or too well rehearsed, the girl will assume that
you try it with every chick in a short enough skirt, and will quickly
shoot you down.
Finally, don't resort to lines
which are crude or offensive. Even if all you're after is a one night
wonder, jokes about genitals will put her right off.
Instead, keep your pick up
lines brief, flattering and convincingly original.
But do bear in mind that
chicks these days know exactly what you're up to. A corny pick up line
might get her laughing, but the real magic is in how you say it.
Be self-deprecating. Try
delivering your line, then grinning and laughing at yourself, telling
her, "I'm sorry, I know that's really terrible - I just wanted an excuse
to come and talk to you." This approach is funny, it's friendly and it's
extremely flattering - it short, it ticks all her boxes.
