Lifestyles :: Pick up lines - do they actually work?


Men, you ever see a beautiful female approaching and you feel the need to get her attention? Apart from pppssssssttttttin'.... like a gas station air pump, which i've come to terms to understand that females really finds it rather annoying and immature. So what one should do or say to a complete stranger to let her know that she can feel secure, comfortable and most importantly, get her to like you?

We turned to 'Pick up lines', but do they really aid the situation or just makes it worst?

Pickup lines rarely work. Ask any female and she will tell you that pickup lines are a bad way to go about meeting women. But you do need to start somewhere, and for better or worse, anything you say will come across as a pickup line.
Regardless of what women say, opening lines should be funny, witty, original, and sincere. They should not be crude, demeaning, insulting, condescending, or have overtly sexual connotations. Sounds like a tall order to fill?
So Jamrock Vibes.com asked random people to give they takes on pick-up lines

- Well without further ado, here are the best pickup lines so far -- do not try these at home.
Top 5 best Pick-up lines:

Number 5
"I may not be the best-looking guy in here, but I'm the only one talking to you."Believe it or not, only good-looking guys should use this one, since they'll be viewed as modest. If a guy uses this and he is ugly, then it's a sign of insecurity, which is a huge a turnoff. Generally, this line passes because it proves that the guy is down-to-earth. It will surely throw her off guard as she might get offended. Use with caution.

Number 4
"You must be Jamaican, because Jamaican me crazy."If you ever spot an attractive woman and would like to approach her, this line is funny in a childish manner and women tend to laugh off funny lyrics such as this one.

Number 3
"What's your name?"Instead of saying something like, "baby, we're like two banks: we both have interest in each other and we should merge," this one is simple and will not insult her intelligence. It may be the oldest one in the book (well, "come here often?" takes that award), but this one is genuine and direct -- two important qualities.

Number 2
"See my friend over there? He wants to know if you think I'm cute."Extremely original, this line will make you stand out from the pack. This line virtually guarantees that she will smile. You may not leave with her that night, but you may get her phone number or at least chat it up for a while.

Number 1
"So what haven't you been told tonight?"Very original, this line will make you stand out from the other men. You acknowledge that she has been getting hit on all night and you do not wish to add to her frustration. However, you are confident and interested enough to try your luck without insulting your intelligence.
