Personally, I would stay away from about 90% of these... Maybe if you send the same thing to ten girls one will bite.
[–]syntaxspam42 points 14 years ago [recovered] | Copy Link
Yeah, was thinking the same thing. I started looking for a "JUST KIDDING DON'T USE THESE" near the bottom.
[–]IncrediblyObvious 39 points40 points41 points 14 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Yeah most of them come across as super contrived, forced, or cheesy. Better to keep texting to a minimum.
[–]Sirtubb 5 points6 points7 points 14 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
While I do agree with you do not underestimate cheesy and or corny jokes
[–]KallistiEngel9 points 14 years ago [recovered] (3 children) | Copy Link
Yep, the buckshot method. A friend of mine used to use that method and it worked for him sometimes. When I asked him about it, he basically said: "Ask 100 girls to fuck, there's a good chance one of them will say yes."
[–]krypto1339 0 points1 point2 points 14 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
I'm pretty sure that's from an episode of King of the Hill.
[–]KallistiEngel1 points 14 years ago [recovered] (1 child) | Copy Link
I don't know myself. It could be from that or it could have been a pre-existing thing they referenced, all I know is that this friend used that method.
[–]krypto1339 0 points1 point2 points 14 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Not implying he stole it, it's just a great coincidence. I've been referring to it as the Boomhauer Method for a while now.

He just wants to use them for himself! Get Him!
[–]jjchap4317 27 points28 points29 points 14 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
This is fucking terrible. So many of these are so creepy. This is not good advice.

I know my math u+I equals 69
Seriously?
[–]Schroedingers_gif 23 points24 points25 points 14 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
The askreddit "Worst Pick Up Lines" made it in.
[–][deleted] 22 points23 points24 points 14 years ago (7 children) | Copy Link
as a woman, I've gotten a bunch of these, and 98% of them give me the extreme stay-away vibe....
[–]tiggerwoman 2 points3 points4 points 14 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link
I've not had any, but I wouldn't be too impressed with most of them. Still one or two made me grin!

[–]Nickstaysfresh 0 points1 point2 points 14 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Seriously, all of those made me cringe along with 90% of this list.
[–]tiggerwoman 0 points1 point2 points 14 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
The only universally appreciated one I think I'd comment on is "I was thinking of you" which is either creepy if from a stranger, or endearing and sweet if from a potential/actual partner.
[–]Nickstaysfresh 0 points1 point2 points 14 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I'd really love to be corrected if I'm wrong, but unless a potential partnership is inevitable with a girl I think that comes off as needy/beta.
If it is inevitable there's no reason to keep gaming. If I'm missing something I non-sarcastically invite you to correct me. I only want to improve.
[–]CeruleanLlama 0 points1 point2 points 14 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Yep, Agreed :)
[–]rbbyd 17 points18 points19 points 14 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
I feel like all of these come off as trying way too hard, most are either pick up lines that wouldn't work or needy attempts to start a conversation.
[–]JerkingOffToKarma -1 points0 points1 point 14 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
For the idiots like me can you name the ones that are great? I'm really inexpierenced and honestly most of them seem dooable for me.
[–][deleted] -2 points-1 points0 points 14 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
See which ones work for yourself and which ones don't.
[–]beginner_PUA 37 points38 points39 points 14 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
This is bad and you should feel bad!
[–]TofuTofu 34 points35 points36 points 14 years ago (9 children) | Copy Link

He didn't write any of these. A majority of them are from the simplepickup forums...which is why they're so terrible..lol
[–]jewfro667 0 points1 point2 points 14 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
There's actually similar ones on this subreddit too.
Like the alien one.

Text game
An oxymoron
[–]faithamor1337 5 points6 points7 points 14 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I feel like a lot of girls would just stop texting you after some of these pathetic lines. Don't use them.
[–]TrustMyVagina 5 points6 points7 points 14 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
No. No no no. Please, never try any of this. There were a couple that were on the right track (the ones that were sweet, like "did you make it home safe?" or joking around "Let’s fly to Las Vegas, get married, argue about our third kid’s name, divorce, and grow old lonely and depressed."
But for the most part, I would never speak to a guy ever again if he said this shit to me. They sound cocky, not confident. Cheesy, not smooth.
[–]jewfro667 1 point2 points3 points 14 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Can we just separate the good from the bad for those of us who aren't good at texting?
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 14 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Do a little trial and error.
[–]vinniedp[🍰] 0 points1 point2 points 14 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
This is the only one that is truly great: Directly after a number-close: Who was that sexy guy you were just talking to? Damn (her name) =)
It's funny, will likely get your name saved into her phone if it isn't already, and gets the girl accustomed to receiving interesting texts from you.
[–]ATribeCalledGreg 1 point2 points3 points 14 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
They only one I will ever use or have ever used on that list is "I think I just saw your twin." Just something different, a casual thought she feels like is something worth mentioning to her, builds your value because she knows your talking to other girls, and is decent enough for flakes or girls that seem kind of distant. Most of these lines are the text message equivalent to waving your hands in front of her face yelling "TALK TO ME, I'M FUNNY!!!!"
[–]BurnerSkunk 1 point2 points3 points 14 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Hilarious. Some of these are so terribly cheesey I just have to try them.
Just used the "bf not spanking enough" one.. her response:
"Lol! You are so bad!"
I would call that a success :p
[–]yebhx 2 points3 points4 points 14 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I'm disappointed this thread has nothing to do with Zork.
[–][deleted] 2 points3 points4 points 14 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Here's a much much much better line:
[–]bink1time 2 points3 points4 points 14 years ago* (1 child) | Copy Link
This is going to be a rant. But I feel like when I read seddit now there are so many haters. I also feel like seddit has become a bunch of arm chair quaterbacks talking shit. Why is everyone hating so hard? Have you tried all of these or has your pua simulator told you they are terrible?
I understand that op simply aggregated a bunch of texts from different books and forums. But I have personally probably tried 50% of the texts here. Just to see what works what doesn't. Some of the texts like "I just made you open your phone for no reason.. looks like I got you in check" I use all the time. It's great. Yeah some of the texts are terrible, but a lot of this stuff is decent and I don't see the hate. People saying shit like its cheesy. SO WHAT? SO WHAT? Try it they are mostly playful. Girls love anything fun. Is your "what ups?" text so much better?
Also some chicks coming in here saying she got 98% of these and its a sign to stay away. That is some bullshit. I feel like when I go on seddit now the only people that actually pick up are tofu tofu, puacurveball, and few others. It seems like everyone else just spews out hate and has no idea what they are actually talking about. Like they don't have any experience haven't been out or tried anything. They just read it and then run some kinda of simulator in their head and go well that probably won't work thats stupid. My pua spidey sense told me these only work on 18 year olds cause I know!
UGH this community.
tl:dr Stop the hate. People too serious. Go out and try shit.
[–][deleted] 4 points5 points6 points 14 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
As someone who is actually out and trying shit, I agree with everything you say. Seems like a lot of people are sticking to the old school PUA values, and not realizing that things have changed. I'm 29, and I've got ladies age 24-41 on the go, and they all live through txt messages...it's just a sign of the times now! Anything playful is golden!
[–]bondmaxbondrock 1 point2 points3 points 14 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Come on guys, these are horrible lines, but don't blame it on OP. He just found them online, no need to hate on him!
[–]caulking 1 point2 points3 points 14 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Holy shit!
All my life I haven't been able to get laid, but that's all gonna change now that I've memorized a couple cheesy lines.
Thanks, OP!
[–]Basmustquitatart -1 points0 points1 point 14 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Some of these are a little over the top but a good resource nonetheless
[–]Crystalyze14 0 points1 point2 points 14 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
The wrong guy saying most of these would be very Crazy, Stupid, Love.
[–]bawss 0 points1 point2 points 14 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
these would probably work on middle school aged girls. not WOMEN.
[–]carrotplanter 0 points1 point2 points 14 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Old but gold. Most of these appear too "canned" though, I think.
[–]reekomds 0 points1 point2 points 14 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I've using a couple of these though out the day and the results are all positive....great post!
[–]gabriot 0 points1 point2 points 14 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Not sure why this is getting upvoted, these are mostly horrible and will not be received well
[–]UnderstandableEnigma 0 points1 point2 points 14 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Some of these are okay-ish, some are pretty terrible. For example 'I just met your twin' is horrible. What are they meant to say to that? 'Oh, cool.'? They know you haven't met their actual twin, so all you're saying is that you saw someone that kinda looks like them today. Big whoop. To be honest this has probably been overused by so many awkward guys who don't know what they're doing you'd probably just get ignored for it.
In my opinion, your best bet is to just be straight up, say 'Hey, hows it going, I'm gonna go do x, you should come!' or something along those lines. These just remind me of cheesy ass pickup lines, you're best off without them.
[–]BurnerSkunk 0 points1 point2 points 14 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I think the twin one is awesome, so many great places you guys can go with it and roleplay with it.
I am going to actually try it out and see how it goes I'll let you know.
[–]cooljets 0 points1 point2 points 14 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
These look like they'd work GREAT.... on an 18 year old.
