So you are heading out for a night of pleasure and partying with you’re friends and hopefully set on making a connection before the night is out. You watch a few of your friends hook up with old girlfriends, co-workers, etc – and you are left in the corner just holding you’re draft beer. Not being one brimming with courage when it comes to approaching women cold in a restaurant setting, you slowly strike up to mentally recite all of those old, ingrained corny pick up lines silently looking for the right one……

Sound familiar? Well – if it does, do not fret, you aren’t alone! Most women have heard every dreadful, cheesy pick up line invented since the original caveman uttered – “come here often” to whoever it was that caveman hit on back in the excellent old days..:-) But are they used so much because they work, or not? The remedy will not surprise you.

Cheesy pick up lines work. But only on corny women! How high you’re principles are is a better question! Look, if you approach a group of girls and throw out a few self depreciating lines straight out of a dreadful  movie, yes we are started to giggle with you, not at you. Everybody understands breaking the ice is not simple. But if you come strutting over with that come here stare, no matter how nice-looking you might be – if the first words out of you’re mouth are unbearable and cliché, guess what? You aren’t going to be making any major moves on me or my friends, I’ll guarantee you that! Mayby that works on the girl hanging on the bar at two AM at what time they are mopping the floor? Probably. But while you prepare the dreadful lines, guys without half of you’re good looks and ambition are getting much further using simple friendly charisma and authenticity.

The bottom line is if you are started to use a corny pick up line, make it humorous, have fun with it and be able to laugh at yourself at what time you make the approach. Even the oldest line in the book coming from someone who doesn’t take himself too seriously and may perhaps giggle at the awkwardness of meeting new people will appear charming, charismatic and generally the kind of person we wish to get to know better. And that is the point of using it in the first place, right?
