Poll: Do Girls Need Pickup Lines

[BubbaJeff]

The only thing that was going through my head as i read this thread was the bird from Black Books when she's on a date with the gay guy:

"WELL, would you just look at these.... breasts"

 

[TheBoulder]

I'd rather have a nice conversation that started with 'Hello' than 'Are you Jamaican? Cause, jamaican me crazy.'

 

[Baralak]

Hmm, as I guy, I get really nervous around girls (I'm 20) I'd MUCH prefer a girl ask me out, rather than the other way around... But in all seriousness, no, girls don't need a pick up line besides "hi" or "Want a blowjob?" Becuase if a girl says anything to a guy, they're more than likely gonna get attention.

 

[CloggedDonkey]

most women have two at all times, if you know what I mean.

bad joke aside, I don't think women are as desperate as men when it comes to things like that, mainly because men ask first.

 

[Uncreation]

In general. Obviously some men have an easier time attracting women than some women have attracting men, but in general I'd have to say it takes a lot more work for the man to pick somebody up than the woman. Blame years of gender roles for that.

I think this is very very true. And it saddens me to not end. I have always hated having to ask girls out. I just wish it was not always expected of me "just because i'm the guy". So what if i am. I doesn't mean i'm good at it, or i like it. Despite all the crap women have to put up with, i have always envied them for this. I hate gender roles. Especially the one i'm stuck in. *sigh*

If a girl ever did feel a need to approach a guy, and not the other way round, I imagine she'd have a harder time doing it than the opposite gender simply because she wouldn't be used to it.

Not necessarily. Just because you're a guy does not mean you have experience in "picking up" girl, so not all guys are used to it.

And no, girl don't need pick-up lines. They just need to not be mutilated, or morbidly obese; well, you know, at least half-way average looking, and have at least a trace of personality.

Not to sound sexist as this might come off as sexist but girls do not need pick up lines. They just need to be mildly interested and appeal to the guy and your set. Well as a general rule there are obviously gonna be exceptions.

Yeah. That's pretty much my opinion too.

Girls don't need pickup lines. They just need to know how to look pretty.

It sounds sexist but it's true. As long as a woman makes herself look good and has a pleasant attitude, she can walk into a bar and have at least one guy hit on her. It might not be a quality guy, but it will be a guy nonetheless. A guy still has to look good and have a pleasant attitude, but he also needs to be financially well off, have a pickup routine, pay for the drinks, and walk the tightrope between getting maced and getting friend-zoned.

Some girls I know are big on pick-up lines. They try to come up with'em all the time. Unfortunately they're more like "I want to tell you how I feel through a not really clever, but more cheesy sequence of planned out" lines than the conventional striking conversation/ice breaking pick-up lines.

 

[Galebaby]

Hot or not if a girl is as dull as a rubber hatchet when she talks to me I'll just tell her some moronic reason why I'd rather not talk to her and stare blankly at her ass as she walks away.

This. It depends really, but overall girls pick up easier.

 

[p3t3r]

if i girl came up to me and said a funny pick up line it would work. then again she could probably not use the pick line and achieve more or less the same result.

 

[CJ1145]

I say no. It can help, but it's by no means needed. My gf could have gotten away with "Movie Saturday, pick me up at 7:00." Let's face it, guys are fucking easy.

 

[Soxafloppin]

Nope, us males have to do the legwork!

A lesbian one might? maybe? No probably not.

 

[Composer]

yes they do
because it makes us men feel special

 

[blah_ducks]

Of course, girl pick-up lines are a blast!

I've never used a pick-up line, and I haven't had any luck finding myself a lady... So I'm going to have to say that lesbians DO need pick-up lines.

 

[Zenn3k]

The female pick up line:
Show boobs off
Dress a little slutty
Lean towards and touch guy

 

[CK76]

No, and guys don't either.

What kind of pitiful guys actually think pickup lines work?

If I received a nickel for everytime I saw someone as beautiful as you, I'd have a dime.

[AwesomeExpress]

I'd say it's very easy for girls to get guys, whether or not it's the guy they really want is another issue, but they'd have no problem picking up any random guy.

 

[drisky]

I'm in the crowd that says no one should use pick up lines, there just stupid and rarely original.

 

[Outright Villainy]

What? A girl says so much as hello to me and I'm already in love with her.

No, they don't need it. And yes, it's a lot harder for men to get girls. Why? Well, obviously this isn't the only reason, but for some reason, there's a pervading idea that men find hard to get sexy.

No, we don't. We find it annoying and condescending. If you genuinely like us, tell us. Please.

I wish girls were allowed to ask guys out as far as 'the rules' go. I've always had to ask my girlfriends out, never the opposite way around.

We need equality.

Again, Furbert has the unnerring ability to quickly get in and warrant a "/thread" very quickly.

Anywho, Pick up lines are cheesy as hell, and I hate the fact that so many people expect a whole air of bravado and persistence to pick up girls. It's pretty stupid, since the best boyfriend material are usually the ones that think aggressive girl chasing is creepy, because it kinda is.

Then again, I'm one of those weirdos who likes relationships to be based on that weird thing called "friendship", so just disregard my ranting.
