"Damn girl you shit with that ass?"

Has to be up there

[–] hutchmcnugget@lemmy.world 67 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Are you from Mississippi? Because you're the only Miss whose piss I'd like to sippee.

[–] malamignasanmig@group.lt 27 points 11 months ago

congratulations. i thought that the comment above yours was the worst but you beat it by a mile.

[–] Squirrel@thelemmy.club 6 points 11 months ago

I don't even know what to say. You win?

Not a pick up line but- "I don’t think I can do better than you and I know you can't do better than me, so I guess we should just get married." She sighed and said "yeah, you're probably right".

[–] vis4valentine@lemmy.ml 47 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I dont wanna shit on you, but the "I cant do better than you" is sweet and I used it with my BF, but the "You can't do better than me" is many times used by abusive partners as a way to diminish their self-esteem and make sure that they dont leave them, because they really think they cant do better than their current abusive partner.

I believe you said it with the best intentions, but is something that people does.

[–] ZagamTheVile@lemmy.world 20 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, I hear you but context is important. She's good and safe, so am I. We have 2 kids together, been together for 20 years, have ducks, a rabbit, share all expenses and income exactly 50/50 and have had each others back through the worst of other people.

[–] Syndic@feddit.de 31 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I'm not shitting on you, but "we have ducks" has to be the funniest justification why the relationship isn't abusive I've seen yet.

Yeah. Been together for like 20 years now.

[–] Mewtwo@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You both sound like a solid 5

[–] ZagamTheVile@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago

Hey now. On a good day and if you squint, I could pass as a 6. Maybe 6.5.

[–] PopcornPrincess@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago

Hell yeah. Nice.

[–] rikudou@lemmings.world 56 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I once tried the most cliche of them all - did it hurt when you fell from heaven. She actually found it funny. In the sense that it's so stupid that it flips around and becomes funny. Nothing ever came of it but we had a nice chat on the otherwise empty train.

[–] Duchess@yiffit.net 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

imo the purpose of those cheesy lines is more to break the ice and get your prospective partner to laugh and loosen up rather than to swoon them, sounds like it worked to me.

[–] unsaid0415@szmer.info 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

imo the purpose of those cheesy lines is more to break the ice [...] rather than to swoon them

wait so you guys actually get to continue the conversation after saying the line?

[–] Duchess@yiffit.net 2 points 11 months ago

Me? Definitely not lmao. I met my current and only partner on a discord server for depressed people and we bonded over being weird shut ins

[–] Thavron@lemmy.ca 48 points 11 months ago (1 children)

At a club, I just asked her "Wanna make out?" and we did. Very weird that worked.

[–] Maven@lemmy.world 22 points 11 months ago

I use this a lot and people seem to appreciate the honesty.

[–] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 46 points 11 months ago

Bingus bongus I want your shlongus

(It still worked)

[–] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 32 points 11 months ago

"Did you know you can save 15% or more by switching to Geico?"

[–] Pratai@lemmy.ca 28 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Me: Have you ever had your bellybutton kissed?

Her: Yes, of course I have.

Me: From the inside?

It didn’t work, but she laughed.

[–] peter@feddit.uk 15 points 11 months ago (1 children)

My immediate thought was pregnancy

[–] AOCapitulator@hexbear.net 4 points 11 months ago (2 children)

yeah what is this supposed to imply?

[–] rikudou@lemmings.world 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

That he wanted to crawl into her vagina and bite his way through to the belly button? IDK, I'm not a belly-button fetishist.

[–] joelfromaus@aussie.zone 2 points 11 months ago

Maybe we just found the account of an alien chestburster.

[–] CmdrShepard@lemmy.one 2 points 11 months ago

They're a cunning limguist.

In high school, I dm'd a guy in my class "you're handsome bro"

His response was something like, "you too man I appreciate it!"

We both assumed each other were straight after that, but like a week before graduation, he randomly tells me he had a crush on me. And when I tell him I felt the same, he was like "damn I assumed that DM was probably only a compliment"

[–] gamer@lemm.ee 14 points 11 months ago

Lost opportunity for love because he ignored the β€œno homo” rule. Tragic.

[–] jscummy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago

Does this guy think straight men often slide into the DMs to tell other men they're handsome?

[–] PopcornPrincess@lemmy.world 23 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Not a line per say but my friend and I were shooting pool against 2 dudes randomly. One serenaded us with Bruno Mars β€œJust the Way You Are.” A short while after he randomly proceeded to guess both of our weights very incorrectly. lol I guess we made him a nervous.

In a man vie theater: STFU to a girl a row behind me. It worked.

[–] siewyuk@monyet.cc 11 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I don't get it. He told her to STFU? And she liked it and was "picked up"?

[–] infamousbelgian@waste-of.space 17 points 11 months ago

Sorry, lots of typos in previous message.

So yes, I was in a cinema and told a girl to stfu. Next day she saw me in a bar, recognized me and was like: β€œfuck that, you told me to stfu. It was you.” We dated for a month or so.

[–] PaulSmackage@hexbear.net 19 points 11 months ago

"Hey, you like Rob Zombie movies?" (We have been together for 7 years now.)

[–] Helix@feddit.de 16 points 11 months ago (1 children)

"I shat in my bed, can I sleep in yours?"

[–] siewyuk@monyet.cc 10 points 11 months ago

Amber Heard, is that you?

[–] jet@hackertalks.com 16 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I feel like we need to add the extra constraint to the question, and worked. What's the worst pick up line you ever used that worked.

[–] NielsBohron@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

Naw, I think this is better. I've seen the "... and worked" version of this question lots of times, but I want the actual bottom of the barrel this time.

Don't get me wrong; "... and worked" still yields funny answers every time, but this is more interesting to me.

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 7 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

When I was an edgy and cynical generic college liberal, I once said "Hello. How would you like to join me for a predictable 'eat or drink something' ritual that implies politely that I am sexually attracted to you?" very-intelligent

It worked for a brief relationship, but still. Not exactly strong foundations were laid with that. cringe

[–] aaaaaaadjsf@hexbear.net 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

That's such a Bazinga type pickup line lmao

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 4 points 11 months ago

Yes, it was. soypoint-1

Watching team America at the movies, leaned over to my date and said "I promise I will never die"

Worked a treat!
