I think that the reason why the pick-up lines are oftentimes so bad is that these fellas are insecure about themselves, thus lacking any real sense of originality. I think the "Hi, my name is..." while it is definately a start, is a little too predictable and bland. I have learned to either use a discreet, nonchalant approach, or to have such an outrageous, yet tastefully humorous approach, that everytime you look back on it, you laugh. I gave some pick-up lines in the Delta forum, but I am gonna add some more here:

*Rain Man in front of an apartment building seeing a sista coming in or out of the building*
RM: Excuse me, can you direct me to 505 5th Ave.
Sista: This is 503 5th STREET
RM: Well, I'm trying to locate this address here *pulls out scrap piece of paper with badly written handwriting* Or it could be 503 5th Ave. or 506 5th St. *Shows Sista the paper* Is that a 5 or a 6, I can't tell.
Sista: *reading* It is definately a 5.
RM: Well, maybe you can tell me this. Does a Roger McIntyre live in your building?
Sista: I don't know too many of my neighbors. That name doesn't ring a bell.
RM: Oh, well....

Note: This exchange will only go so far, but will give enough momentum to initiate a personal conversation, which is the goal.

*Rain Man at a ticket counter*
RM: Excuse me, but didn't I meet you at the Black Accountants convention in Detroit back in '96?
Sista: *puzzled* No, you must have me confused with someone else.
RM: Yeah, you're right. You have a much prettier face and more appealing features than the accountant did.
Sista: Isn't this a rather tired pick-up line?
RM: *pseudo-shocked* I am genuinely hurt. What do you take me for, one of those gold-toothed wearing, Jerry Curl having thugs that just makes your skin crawl and then you want to run away screaming?
Sista: I don't know you. You could be one in private.
RM: Listen, I read in "The Sensuous Man"...
Note: While it is obvious from the getgo that this is a pickup line, the emphasis is on genuine interest to get to know the sista rather than on insecure one-liners that repulse them instead.

*Rain Man on a crowded bus cramped up near this sista. He lightly steps on her foot*
Sista: Owww!
RM: Oh, I'm sorry.
*About three minutes later, RM lightly steps on her foot again*
Sista: Oww! What is your problem?
RM: Well, I'm trying to get my land legs back again. This type of stuff often happens after I been on the yacht at Lake Erie.
Sista: *with a skeptical look* You own a yacht?
RM: Why, you like boating?

The kicker here is that you don't tell her you OWN the yacht. You tell her that your friend Arie owns it. If your game is tight enough, you can problem get her to kick it with you while making plans to take her out on a cruise on the Ohio River instead.

Originality, folx. Remember that.

these pickup lines have me crackin' up!*lol*...I think these young cats need to take a lesson from some old school players..I went to visit my dad in his "senior resident apartement building" and these two cute little old men were talking in the lobby...and they both looked up smiling and one said "Glory be to God...he must be having a recess because all the angels are down here!" I had never blushed so hard in my life...I thought it was so sweet.

TTT

This old man (drunk, dirty, and all) tried to holla at me by saying..."GURL, YOU PROPER DOPPER LIKE A WHOPPER!"

I was like WHOA!:confused: :D

Pathetic and proud...
 

One guy showed me pictures of a car he USED TO have!! He didn't even lie about what happened to it. It was reposessed.

Back when cell phones were still pretty new, guys used to walk by me turning on the phones so that it would make that noise.

One guy did this and pretended to be talking to someone (while looking at me the whole time to see if I was impressed). He must've forgot that you can't get service in the subway!! *moron*

This happened to me last week.

I'm pumping gas minding my own business and this raggedy green Neon pulls up to the pump beside me. The car is struggling to make it to the pump. Then this shorty dusty dude gets out and says "damn, my gas tank ain't even on this side." So he then cranks up his little green hornet and turns around so he can pump gas. He gets out and says hey girl. I'm ignoring him. Then he says, "you shole is fine, you look like I know you. Do you have a man? We finished pumping gas at the same time and I was there waaaayyy before he was which means not only does he ride a green hornet, but he also puts around 3 dollars in the tank, just enough gas to get him down the street.

He said, "do you have a man?"

I said, "I'm allergic."

He said, "to men?"

I said, no to you!"

And I pulled off leaving him and his struggling green hornet in the gas station.

After a funeral, my boyfriends' mother's pastor , who is an older man, looked at me and said "I can't see too much these days, but I sure can see pretty!". I thought I would die!!!

I think the worst pick-up line was "I like that flesh!!!" - I was wearing a tank top and jeans.

CTFU!!:D

Last week, I was at work in the elevator and this busted looking guy was also in there. Now mind you, there was only him and I in the elevator but he was standing behind me. So then he says, "I don't mean to be rude but you smell really good, what are you wearing?" I replied, "soap". He said "Hmm, I've never smelled soap like that." Luckily the elevator was at his floor by then because I was going to give him a real piece of my mind. :mad:

AKAtude at its finest...
 

Before I was a soror, I went to a Kappa party where I saw a group of AKA neos from that chapter wearing their jackets. I saw one guy ask one of them "What's your number?"
She said "7", pointed to the number on her jacket, and just walked away.

I was LMAO while he just stood there looking stupid!

I was at a club, the night was over, I'm sweaty and such and a guy comes up to me and says, "Girl where have you been? How you come here and not dance with me, how you doing?" I really thought I knew him yall and was too embarassed to say I didn't remember his name. Turns out he didn't know me and that was a pick up line. I guess they call it the 'long time no see line'

It happened to me
 

I was on my way into the library to finish a paper and these "boys" are sitting outside the library. I walk by and they start going, "Psst, pssst". I just keep walking as if I don't hear them. Then these punks say, "Hey miss." So I say, "Yes." They are like, "Do you have a girlfriend?" I say, "Yes." One of the guys says, "a girl like you needs two." WTF????????????? I immediately thought about this thread and was thinking do all of these losers go to the same "I wanna be a pimp" training class.

I can't remeber the guys pick up line but I remember what he said after I politely rejected him.

This nut said" Girl your turning me down like DRUGS"!

My girls and I looked @ one another, then him burst out laughing and walked away!

Ooops! My bad!!
 

I meant to say "do you have a boyfriend?"

"Ay, gurl, what movie you played in?"

LOL. these are too funny.

1. once i was on the bus going to class, some guy, with gold teeth and pants so baggy they hang at his knees, walks up to me and ask me for a pen. i give it to him and he gives it right back to me with a piece of paper. i kindly ask "whats the paper for", his reply "so you can write down ur number".

2. i remember long ago when they used to say "what chu be bout" and "ey shawty, when u finna lemme hit that"

3. the word of the day is legs, lets go to my place and spead em.

4. can you cook?

5. i got an anaconda in my pants

5. you know what they say about jamaicans.. me- no, lets find out

TTT...

I thought about this thread the other day. Who was it who had somebody say to her "Girl, you got mo' azz than a team of donkeys"?

CTFU @ that story.:D

This is a pretty funny thread.

As a guy, I don't use the "Hey Shawty" lines, but here is my favorite:

Excuse me, my name is _____, what is your name?
Hi, _______ want to f__k?

Before you all get pissed. You would be AMAZED at how well that works. I'm not trying to be funny, just telling the truth.:)

This thread is way on funny

Ok, so a soror friend and I were stuck in traffic on 495 (DC) and next to us was this old school honda (not hating on the car, but still) with 2 guys (looked to be brothers, but can't 100% confirm). The passanger rolled down his window and was motioning to my Soror to do the same. So we naturally thought they were asking for direction or something similar. So she rolls down her window and said, yes. This fool was like..."uumm wassup, how you doing" :eek: :eek: :rolleyes:

LOL... now that was funny. Kinda original too.

For me, the worst pick up line is .... "Hello." Cuz all I will do is look at you, throw you a half-smile, and keep it moving. Saying hello does not prompt me to say anything to you. Uggh :rolleyes: .

pNc

You all's attitude sucks!

The reason many of the guys come at you with these crazy lines is because 80% of the time we are not serious. All we hear about is how "you can't find a man", but when a man approaches you, you get pleasure out of dissing him. The one thing I noticed in this thread is that you women take great pride in dissing guys. It's like a badge of honor for you. Even if a guy did approach you with a decent greeting you still diss him. This guy could be a potental husband. It is very very difficult to judge a guy on just one or two sentences. Here is a clue: If you want to find a man, open yourselves up to be approachable. If you walk around with a garbage attitude, you will attract garbage.

I dare anyone of you on this board to debate me on this issue. As a matter of fact you all will probably ignore this message and keep posting your "badge of honor" stories.

Here is a story of a woman trying to hit on me.
 

This isn't really a pick up line per se, but I think the story is funny nonetheless.

There was a woman who ran a newsstand and also sold snacks (potato chips, Hostess cakes, Little Debbies, etc.) in a building where one of my clients worked.

Anyhow, everytime I would pass by her newsstand, she would stop me and try to butter me up hoping I would take her out on a date. I would politely decline, saying that she was too good for me (Actually, I didn't find her very attractive and didn't think there was any real chemistry between us, but that's another story...)

So one morning when I passed her newsstand, she stopped me and offered to take me to dinner, her treat. I said, "Would you really do that for me?" She smiled and said, "Yes."

I then took a Slim Jim, a bag of potato chips, and a Dolly Madison carrot cake, said, "Thanks. Next time, my place. Holla." and I walked off. She never stopped me after that.

:confused:

I don't know which AKA, Delta, Sigma Gamma Rho, or Zeta hurt his feelings, but HE AIN'T OVER IT!:mad:

Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound,
Faster than a speeding train,
It's a bird,
It's a plane,

No, IT'S BITTER MAN!

IT'S BITTER MAN...........

NOT!!!!!

I'm happlily married to one of YOUR sorors! So before you make assumptions about me, I suggest you search inside yourself to see what makes YOU bitter.

Come on sista, debate me on the issue. I know you AKAs are smarter than that.

CTFU!!! :D :D :D

Well go 'head and debate the man Sista BobbyEarl!!!

OMG LMAO

Dayum...

Now, I know um pretty:cool: , but I didn't know I was pretty enough to be an AKA. I also didn't know that I had a soror. Learn something new everyday.

The last time I got it krunk up in here the moderator had to close the thread. So I will try to be good and keep all future jokes about another GC member out of the AKA forum as much as I possibly can.

However;) , since you corrected me, KT NUPE, let me correct you.

1. Bobby and Earl could typically be male names, therefore it is very likely that I am a DUDE! This implies that it would be extremely difficult for me to be an AKA.

2. I don't have a soror. Kappa Alpha Psi has NO sister sororities, at least they didn't have any when I crossed. However, it is painfully obvious that bad decisions may have been made after Spring 1993 on the part of my great fraternity.

3. If you are HAPPILY MARRIED, and NOT BITTER, why say crap like this:

4. HAPPILY MARRIED and UNBITTER MEN don't really care about how women address bad pickup lines, because they have a woman. Also, HAPPILY MARRIED and UNBITTER MEN don't challenge women to debates on the issues of dissing guys for THE BADGE OF HONOR, UNLESS these HAPPILY MARRIED and UNBITTER MEN are not so HAPPY AND UNBITTER after all.

Now I am done debating, but I will leave you with these wise words from a great man by the name of HOVE:

BRING EM OUT BRING EM OUT, IT'S HARD TO YELL WHEN THE BARREL'S IN YOUR MOUTH!

Ah.... there you are.

Let's see:

bobbyearl93 you claim to be a "bruh".
However if you were really frat, why would you attack another bruh with that "BITTERMAN" ish? What, are you trying to show out for all the AKAs? If you were a real "bruh" you would understand my message about how the game goes down and know the dynamics of what men go through to meet women. Oops, maybe you don't! Maybe its "another" bad assumption on my part that since you are a Kappa then you know how to "creme".

Why did I responed to this thread: because it was a slow day at work and I didn't have ish better to do that day. And yes, HAPPILY MARRIED men would respond to this thread because we know what the "F" we are talking about when it comes to meeting and taking care of a woman. It would especially be relavent here becuase I'm taking care of a beautiful woman who most women on this board would identify with because she IS a soror.

Now, before I put your A$$ back "ON LINE", I suggest you keep all your rapper qotes and take the discussion over to the Kappa board. We wouldn't want the AKAs to view our dirty laundry.

Now would we?

:eek: I think the dirty laundry has been aired

First, I don't claim to be "A" bruh. I claim to be "THAT" bruh!

Second, just because I am a NUPE, doesn't mean I support LAME
comments by a LAME azz dude.

Third, before you put me on line, you might want to check to see
what BEING ON LINE means (you may need a 1993 Webster's).

But hey, this thread is supposed to be about Pickup Lines,
so you are right, we can take it to the Kappa room.

NOW GO PLAY SOMEWHERE.

Listen to your inner voice...
 

:rolleyes:

I'd advise Kt Nupe to respond via PM, email or go to the Kappa forum to continue.

If you all aren't discussing "the worst pick-up lines", keep a steppin'...

Re: Listen to your inner voice...
 

Thanks mod.

End of discussion over here.

**directing my feet to the Kappa thread*

Dear West Coast Homie,
Have I told you lately that I love you?

Signed,
Down South Homie




CTFU!!!:D

so..........anyhow...........i had this young chick start talking to me about working out and what not and commenting on how my arms and chest were looking. then she told me her age.....i don't go down that route.

i can dig what this man is saying. it's already somewhat difficult to step to a chick you don't know an spark up convo. i don't particularly like it...then have to deal with an attitude waiting for me to say something crazy or mess up? naw, i'm good.

You are nuts! LOL!

Hey, I like to follow the drama.

Speaking only for myself...
 

You know what, starang? It is all about CONFIDENCE. If a guy can't approach a woman with confidence, he can keep it moving. You only get attitude when you come with a lame line or on some disrespectful angle. If men would just approach women, respectfully and with confidence, you all wouldn't get nearly as much attitude as you do.

It is like when you were trying to get to know members of the org you wanted to be a member of. You had to approach them confidently and respectfully. You would have never approached a member of Iota and said "Ay dawg. What yo' name iz? I'm trying to be down with that brown and gold ish". And if the member brushed you off, I know you wouldn't say "screw Iota. Y'all colors are ugly anyway." But that is what you all do to us. You would approach a member with respect and be serious about it. Women expect the same treatment.

Men need to realize that women (attractive ones) get approached by men ALL OF THE TIME. (Just like member of orgs get appraoched by interesteds all of the time.) It gets quite irritating when you come at us wrong. Don't think that when you approach that you are the first person that day to approach. You may be the 10th person--by that time all patience is gone and if you don't come correctly you will get embarassed.

At the same time, I think that many women DO get carried away with their responses. But most of the time it goes back to being badgered by idiot men so often that we are often frustrated and don't want to be bothered. Sometimes the guy who is sincerely interested gets brushed off...blame it on your friends. *shrugs shoulders*

Soror,
Your first sentences in the first paragraph reminded me of yesterday's TVOne episode of Good Times. It was the episode where Michael liked the chick (forgot her name) and she came over to return Micheal's notes. She comes over and sees JJ. Michael was very shy and not confident. So, JJ tries to "help". The chick "digs" JJ and Michael gets mad. Flo puts Micheal in "check" and tells him basically what you said regarding confidence.

*just an FYI*

I am married and my husband is a wonderful man that did not have to use piquant lines to speak to me...

I think many ladies have an inability to use "innuendo"... Now to use "innuendo", it is usually when a lady finds the other guy attractive... However, most of the time, the guys who are unattractive give the lame pick up lines for whatever reason, too drunk, no confidence, a dare, as a "wingman", whatever...

Men who step up to me (before I was married) with lame lines usually will get put in their place quickly by me. If they are attractive, I let them off easily... If they are unattractive, I say I have to go to Church to scare them off. Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not...

I never had to use any lame lines to pick up on a man. They all had to come to me. And if I stood like a wall flower all night when I hung out with my girls, then, hey, fine with me...

But when a MAN had the guts to step up to me, I did try to listen what he had to say unless he was drunk or high. And the conversation would take off from there.

However, several men have misinterpretations and misguided perceptions about women, generally. And I classify them as pure mysogynists. I have been harrassed by men before that have been ugly and hurtful. Most women would have slapped these guys or called the police after what was said to me. Then I am asked for forgiveness of there inane reactions. So, as a defense mechanism, I am extremely STOIC which is INTENTIONAL and scares most men away...

Only the strong man can survive me...

Hence my husband...

Right now, KT, you are showing out how you treat your wife... How long do you think you will remain married to her with YOUR attitude? You are borderline abusive. And you take words to a whole nother level that it is not all that serious...

Who cares how old fools step up to women? And why are you worried that these women are eliminating "potential husbands"?

It sounds like you still "party" at the clubs and get homegirls numbers, thinking they gave it to you...

I find that juvenile and pathetic.
