pretty much spent the night with her.

So he spent the whole night in the 'buy-me-drinks-but-i-wont-fuck zone'?

Some guys swear by these pick up lines. The only problem is that once the conversation picks up, they're still cycling through their mental pick up line rolodex and burn out.

Unless you have a good sense of humour and can roll with the punches, these lines set you up for failure. A hi on the other hand can help to under promise and over deliver if you're not a tool.

The best pickup line - look at her, make eye contact, and go say hi.

If she rejects you for doing this, then you really had no chance to begin with and you should move on.

This is the correct answer, but clubs are pretty awful in general after what...21? 22?

Anyhow, OP says he's good with girls at bars but bad with girls at clubs. Common sense says he should be trying to pick girls up at bars and not going to clubs then.

you don't always go places with the sole and express purpose of picking up girls. I mean I wont pick a bar to go with the only criteria beign how lucky ive been there

and sometime if your group of friends wants to go somewhere you accompany them

I mean I had a decent time.. its just an observation

 

Pick up lines are lame. If it works, it only works because the girl is physically attracted to him.

General rule of thumb: the better looking you are, the more you can get away with saying stupid and cheesy shit. If you're an average looking guy hitting on a girl out of your league, you better have impeccable game and confidence and/or tons of money.

 

I spend most of my time jerking to the Goldman career page, but I am willing to give that up all for you, baby.

60% of the time it works every time.

For starters: why are you asking a forum full of finance eggheads dating advice? That's about as smart as asking a compulsive shopper support group advice on how to budget effectively.

Second it's been covered extensively. "Pickup lines" are just an attempt to use memorization to fake the social skills that most guys have....and women almost always see right through it. The guys who get away with using cheesy pickup lines are generally the guys who look good enough that it doesn't matter for them. Better idea is to just find a chick who seems like she might be curious about you and ask her what's going on.

hey its just for amusement
i'm in an open relationship with my right hand

No no no......that is the only pickup line I've used. It actually works! That and just going up and start talking to someone is vastly underrated (Hi what's your name, are you from around here, those types of questions just to get things going)

Examples of lines that don't work: http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Worst_100_Pick-Up_Lines_of_All_Time

Personally, if some chick's line is over the top, obviously ridiculous funny, then I actually dig it. Otherwise....just start talking.

clubs shouldn't involve initial conversation. You get on the dance floor, grab a chick that's not with a dude, if she grinds on you then follow up with drinks and a conversation, if not, move on to the next one. It's actually pretty simple.

 
design:
Hi.
...are you single?

Everything else is a waste of time. "Hi, are you single?"

You could also try, "Hey, what's your sign? Please tell me 'go', not 'stop'". I hear it's a good one.

Bond. James Bond.

Lol if you have a British accent, Bond is an excellent Halloween costume. Wear a nice tux, get a nice toy/air gun in an undercover holster, and when she asks you who you're supposed to be, you can say "Bond. James Bond." hahaha magic.

Funny you bring the accent up. I just got in the elevator with a 4.5 foot tall guy surrounded by 4 younger women who just couldn't get enough of him. His accent was really cool.....maybe there's some truth to this.

Only pick up line I ever used other than just smiling and saying Hi :

Girl: (Standing there fixing her hair/make up)

Me: Don't worry you don't look THAT bad. (very sarcastically of course)

It worked like a dream. She started to crack up laughing.

Same for the "pick up line," if "hi" is considered a line.

I also had a similar experience once. I was towards the end of the bar and there was glass at the end, girl at the very end was fixing her hair and I caught her, was a little embarrassed, so I said something along the lines of, "I don't think you need to worry about your hair, you're gorgeous." Worked like a charm.

depends on if she is a 5-8 or 9-10. if she's a 7 and you say that, then she will be pleased. however, it would be better to neg her if she's a 10, something along the lines of "you should do that in a salon, I know a good one around here." 1) that shows you're not drooling over her like every other guy in the club/bar, because let's be serious, she must have heard that thousands of times already and is looking for attention and 2) shows that you must be of high value if you know of high-end salons in the area. (plus well groomed).

but if you look like a bum, don't try that ;)
