Chat-up lines - corny?

LegacyUser · 06-07-2003 6:16pm #1

Ok, I know this is quite a close brother to that "Dancefloor flirting" thread but nonetheless ...

You're in a niteclub with your mates. There are lots of fine women doing the rounds. You and your mates are having good craic, and one of your mates is quite drunk and makes a pass at every chick that comes along but without success. You are sober, and there doesn't seem to be any females in your circle of friends/acquaintances (this is usually how you would end up chatting to some beauty) and if there is, they are with one of your mates and their friends don't seem to be around. You realise it's time to go walkabouts on your own because this is all going nowhere..

And now you realise you're going to need an old weapon called the chat-up line because it's the only option! You want to find a stranger, you want to find her fast.

Now to me this is quite a hard task (do bear in mind you are NOT drunk for whatever reason). I have often tried a line, and felt a little silly/ackward afterwards. I don't really like doing it, but sometimes it's the only way, and I've seen it work for people. But what the heck do you say? All the things I'm thinking of saying seem so corny or pointless that I just give up and settle for going home with my mates instead of some girl. And this happens more than I would like it...

So what do YOU say after approacing some beauty at the bar/on the floor/elsewhere? And how do you make it not come across as a corny come-on that she will just laugh at or joke with her mates about after???

[Fondly remembers the old days when I was 14 and the "slow-set" solved all our problems by letting us use the immorta line "will you dance with me" - BRING BACK THE SLOW SET]

I know this might be hard to understand, have you ever thought about............TALKING TO HER!

smiles · 06-07-2003 7:02pm

er say you're at the bar say "Hey" and smile and ask if they're having a good night, follow up with "ah yeah, i like / don't like it either, good / bad music" general conversation.

Chat-up lines are a very corny, but a funny one will help you out sometimes.

"I know this might be hard to understand, have you ever thought about............TALKING TO HER!"

YES! Thats the whole point of this...

The question is where to start, and how!

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar · 06-07-2003 7:20pm

you've ... never talked to people before?

Right, heres a quick one that almost works straight away on most women...

Have a friend stand a little bit away from you. Then go up to the girl and say "Do you see him over there? He wants to know if you'll be with me." Fairly basic, and works on most women as long as your not a minger.

Are you for real ? I haven't heard anything like that since I was 9 at a school disco, take note Morpher this is the cheesy crap you want to stay away from, of course unless your a pedophile this might work a treat.

Sangre · 06-07-2003 8:45pm

Rofl, thats sound something that some 15 year old knacker at a disco would say....while locked....and high.....and stupid.

Unless I was trying to be funny for myself and not trying to talk to a girl I wouldn't use a chat up line.

Boston · 06-07-2003 9:20pm

yea like "do yea wanta wear da face offa me mate over there"

I usually stand on there feet or knock over their drink or some such. thats a really good way to start.

cournioni · 06-07-2003 10:39pm

You can put it down all you want. And yes I am aware that it is years old, but it works for me. You can sit over in some corner staring into your pint for all I care.

Ponster · 06-07-2003 10:41pm

"Hi. I just wanted to tell you I think you're really pretty."

...tends to work just fine.

Wolf · 06-07-2003 10:55pm

I usually find that just smiling and talking to a giel will do wonders.

I supose as far as a line would go, I woulod often tell them I think they are really pretty or a really good dancer or whatever reason I had to go talk her in the first place. I mean I dont go chat up loads of girls so if I do go up to one and say I think shes really pretty its not a line its cuz I think shes really pretty and it usually gets a good result

LegacyUser · 06-07-2003 11:04pm

Nice.

Some cool responses.

"You can sit over in some corner staring into your pint for all I care."

I think thats for people like Emboss and Mordeth.

If you don't understand this age old problem you're either:

a) Very good looking and dont need to chat strangers up
b) Don't go out at all
c) When you do go out, you sit in the corner staring at yer point - like Mordeth and Emboss

d) Know lots of girls, in every niteclub everywhere, or know fellas that know lots of girls, or have lots of cousins that introduce you to lots of girls..

Pornapster - I can actually see that one working in the correct environment, although it could fall flat on it's face too as the others stated.

"Hi. I just wanted to tell you I think you're really pretty." - I would definitely have to have a few drinks b4 doing that. I'm not that forward, or that much of an extrovert, but after a few drinks... yeah!

"smiling and talking to a girl will do wonders".

Very true. It's the whole thing of finding a starting point that is ackward for me, and a lot of others!

Sangre · 06-07-2003 11:21pm

Wait until a girl you like goes to the bar, and then get a drink beside her at the same time. Then ask her hows she enjoying the night etc...depending on alcohol consumed, you could start talking absolute bollox for ages. Most people are up for chatting to random strangers at a nightclub.

Chowley · 06-07-2003 11:36pm

I usually just whip out my penis and start swinging it around like a lassoo.That usually works for me.:D

To be honest I usually just introduce myself and then off I go talking s hite, but Im usually drunk by the end of the night when you finally start to think it might be a good idea to go and chat to that gorgeous looking girl you saw earlier.:D

Wolf · 06-07-2003 11:37pm

Im not that forward tbh. Its just that if I see a girl I like (and thats not every night I go out) I think Id like to talk to her and see if her mind matches her looks.

The handy thing about this appraoch is that......

1/ I don't run around chattin up loads of girls and therefore when I do try I usually come across a touch sincere and honest.

2/ If I find out that her body doesnt match her mind the im not interested any more. The point is that because of this im usually not looking and her chest and drolling, im usually talking to her with general intrest and girls seem to respon well to this.

Like people said just talk and smile, there not alot to it. Chat up lines are only good if you use a really bad one as a joke.

Tha Gopher · 07-07-2003 6:50pm

For a good chat up technique(well,a funny one anyway) watch the music video Window Licker by Aphex Twin.Some day when Im in my mates car and we see some nice girls on the footpath I will demand we pull over.....
"Damn bitch,you make a dude wanna f`uck!Mother****in dick on hard Im ready to **** you know what im sayin bitch?Dude as horny as a mother****er......."

Continue for 10 minutes like this until rammed out of the way by a limo.
Or more likely a bus.

God dammit Im going to do that some day soon:D

Another one is to wiggle your finger in a girls direction,beckoning her to come over.When she arrives say
"I wondered how long I would have to shake my finger before you would cum"

Perhaps another is to say its your birthday *shrugs*
Hey,Im giving myself ideas by helping you:D

[edit: Jammy-dodger could you please post valid advise or don't post here at all. Thank you. << Fio >>]

tman · 07-07-2003 9:06pm

and of course, the best ways to handle rejection:

her - "ha, your such a lamer, n00b!" (or however women talk these days...)
you - "there's no need for you to be picky, i wasn't..."

her - "j00 = teh sux"
you - "ah whatever, i just felt sorry for you."

You could try approaching the said female and saying

"Normally when I see a girl as good looking as you I want to kiss her, but with you I just want to shag you senseless"

Believe me it has worked.

now this is why baldy ugly blokes don't get laid....

so if your baldy and ugly, there's not much we can do, merc has dealt with this issue most of his life, i'm sure he can point you to many alternatives or maybe a hair relacement product ?

rumour has it he did date an overweight psyco from boards bit i'm not here to tell tales!

Are you guys giving us examples of chat up lines or are you actually flirting with each other? If the latter please 'get a room funboys'.

we're showing how easy it is to bond with someone you have never met, but know they slept with a fat ugly chick, he can change this rumour to anything it has the same effect

I like that one.

Beëlzebooze · 09-07-2003 3:42pm

here's an opening line for ya

situation: your standing chatting and drinking with yer mates, eyeing up the women. Then, all of a sudden you step over to the girl you fancy, she looks at you as if to say: "what the f*ck do you want?"

and your opening line is: "One of me mates farted"

never heard of this one before, let us know how it works out.

MrNuked · 10-07-2003 2:37am

now I haven't read all the replies so maybe i'm repeating someone.
But there's a stage before talking for most people i think. Body language etc. I'd never have the balls to start talking to someone who wasn't already flirting with me.
I always hated chatting up gitrls in clubs anyway. Inanane shouting into eachother's ears is not conducive to intimacy.
Or else wait for an opening. Basically eavesdrop until they say something you have a decent response to. Or just laugh at a joke they say or whatever. Sounds like it should be creepy but never had a bad response myself.
I found that having an uglier but very outgoing friend is a great way of getting chatting to women incidentally.

Uh, I thought the whole point was for it to be awkward so that the two of you can have a laugh at it and you know, break the ice sorta thing, no?

****, no wonder I'm so alone :ninja:

Big Chief · 10-07-2003 9:47am

in answer to the original question to the post -

are they corny? - yes

i personally dont use chat up lines, ive had women friends who insist that they just dont wanna hear the same old bollocks, but you will get the odd one that will be funny or something and will work for you...

i personally just prefer to chat, most times ive pulled its been cause the girl has stood next to me (at the bar, where im standing drinking etc..) and ive got to chatting, or just plain went up and started chatting to them the best i could and alot of the time it will work for me that way

Do pretty much everything that Wolf says, he's got it in one!!

And yes, chat-up lines are very corny. Some might get a laugh out of a girl but not much more. Be yourself, that'll get you much further.

80 % of chatting some one up can be done with eye contact and you may as well break the ice with something funny but not offensive when you get arround to talking to them.

I recently got asked by some one could they come home to look at my Orcs

which is listed as one of the most unusible chat lines ever. Cant say it worked but is sure as hell made me laugh.

DriftingRain · 10-07-2003 11:20pm

The funniest thing to me about pick up lines is the silly things they say, that you know they probally really don't care about....

EX: "Where did you get those great boots?"

Now come on guys we women know you could care less about where we got our footwear...All you care about is how good our legs look in them. But.....it will get you to chatting to her

tman · 10-07-2003 11:30pm

could've been a foot fetishist (or shoe fetish even

)

that's a pretty lame attempt alright, maybe there was a killer second part to it that he just didn't have the balls to say...

Nevyn · 10-07-2003 11:53pm

or maybe he said great Boobs and you misheard

DriftingRain · 11-07-2003 2:08am

That could very well have happened. But, I have never had a guy say that to me. LOL I think I would turn to many shades of red.:o
