And since I hit those "good pickup lines" from a quote, unquote real online dating site - lets hit a fun website for some really bad pickup lines. Askmen.com has a list of 10 bad pickup lines that should make you giggle a little, and while they are good for reading, and sharing on facebook, twitter and other social media - please don't ever use them - well unless you are totally toasted and you want a good laugh - then by all means.
#10: “Great legs, what time do they open?”
Dayyyyuuuummm. That's a real one. Although, I have to admit, it's pretty funny. But if a guy actually said that to me, I might slap him across his face - and I'm extremely open sexually! Especially a dude I didn't know. Seriously that's crude. But it's pretty funny.
#9: “You must be tired because you’ve been running through my head all night.”
I think many of us have heard this one, and just because we've heard it doesn't mean it's good. Tried and true, doesn't mean it's a good one. It's just bad, and groan worthy!
#8: “Hey girl, what’s up? Guess what? It’s your lucky day. Out of all the girls here, I picked you to talk to.”
Oh, really?!? My response - that's bullshit. Confidence is good, being overconfident is not cool. Cockiness is not attractive for the most part, and this line is just way over cocky (and not in the good way ;)!)
#7:"That shirt’s very becoming on you. Of course, if I were on you I’d be coming too.”
Again, ouch! I would error on the side of caution when you are hitting on a girl for the first time. Lets leave the bedroom gymnastics out of the equation, or as Askmen.com calls it, "offering a girl you just met a sperm bath is not a good way to build attraction." And any website that uses the term "sperm bath" is now my favorite website! Although in pickup lines, references to bodily functions and body fluids are always discouraged.
#6: “Can I buy you a drink or do you just want the money?”
Ohh, this started out well, "Can I buy you a drink?" But then we went into hooker territory... Never insenuate that a girl you are hitting on is a hooker, that's not gonna get you a date, well... unless you actually do want to pay for it - then by all means!
#5: “Can I have your phone number? I seem to have lost mine.”
Another groan-worthy pickup line. Really dude. Can't you just be up front and ask a girl for her phone number after you've had a normal conversation? Of course not! And if she does it will be one of those fake phone lines or a fake number anyway, and good luck with that.
#4: “Do you believe in love at first sight or should I walk past again?”
Another oldy but bady - and a bit too cocky! Seriously - why!
#3: “Excuse me; I think you owe me a drink.”[She says, "Why?"] “Because when I saw you from across the room I dropped mine. It was a rum and Coke, and I’m [your name].”
Ewwwww.
#2:“Is your last name Gillette? Because you’re the best a man can get.”
Bad, just bad.
#1: “Do you come here often?”
Probably the most used and most hated pickup line. Can't you be a little creative? Seriously people think a little!

Pickup lines that actually work!
When I think of pickup lines, I think of a loud bar and a drunk ass guy leaning over into my ear and whispering something stupid ass line into my ear - like, "Baby, you must be a broom, cause you just swept me off my feet." You know something so ridiculous it makes you groan and want to make the guy just go away. But guess what? not all pickup lines are bad, some actually work.
According to eharmony.com, these are their top favorite pickup lines that actually work...
1. Hey, I Love Your Shoes (or Handbag or Coat, etc.)
Being specific about what he or she is wearing and complimenting on it is SO much better than just a generic compliment. Besides, for girls - complimenting her on something she's bought is always a good thing - and if you get the right piece - depending on what she's into you might just win an extra point. For instance, if she's a shoe fantastic and you compliment her on her shoes, big bonus point! Same goes for some guys, but it's not as clear cut.
2. Hi, I would love to get you a drink.
Simplicity is good, but don't be threatening and be willing to take no as an answer (if it comes to that!). And above all else, don't be scary. Nothing is scarier than a guy (or a girl) trying to buy you a drink when it's unwanted.
3. What Kind of Dog is That?
As a dog lover and dog owner, I will say that this is a winner for me. For other dog people I know I think it's a winner as well. Dog people notoriously love to share information about their dogs and it's a great way to open a conversation.
4. Are You Single?
No wasted time (always a good thing), and a straight forward approach. Although you would have to have a little bit of an opening here - you can't just walk up to a person and ask if they are single.
5. Hi. Who’s your friend?
This is suggested for the more daring and it might work as a conversation starter. But you have to be careful - make sure you are asking for the right "friend." you don't want to end up with wingman and not the good friend!
6. Nice to meet you, I’m (x) and you are beautiful!
Flattery works wonders! Tell someone they are beautiful or handsome and you are golden. But don't be a condescending kind of thing, be sincere and serious and not in a dirty way, and you'll get your girl or guy.
7. I bet you were an awfully cute baby.
While bordering very closely on cheesy, this one could be used effectively with the right person and from the right person. You have to be careful - but it could be used well.
8. How much does a polar bear weigh? Enough to break the ice!
Ok, really? Yeah... this is just dumb. If a guy told me that - no.
9. Excuse me, but you have something on your face," (when she goes to wipe it off you stop her and say) "No, no leave it. It's beauty
ok... again - this is bad.
10. WHO are you?
OK, this list started out really good. Of course, what else do I expect from an article from eharmony! Anyway - if someone used this pickup line for me - "WHO are you?" I would be offended. It's so forward - way too much so!
