I generally don't mind a pickup line if it's coming from someone I know, I'm attracted to the person, or if the delivery of said pickup line is done at the right time and it's not corny. Depends on my mood at the time. Generally I don't like pickup lines. There are other ways to break the ice which are more effective.
Girls, do you like or dislike pickup lines? Guys, do you give pickup lines?
I haven't tried it yet but i'd actually be more interested in giving her an elevator pitch. Just a brief introduction of who I am and asking her if she's interested in getting to know each other further. If she's compatible i'd assume she'd say yes, if not then its an easy way for her to say she's not interested in that and we can move on.
But rather than doing that to random people on the street when I am ready for it I plan to just go and try speed dating since its basically that exact style but in a setting where people expect that kind of style.
I wouldn't say harassment! I've had circumstances where the guy wasn't my first choice and proved to be attractive after good conversation. Not saying the pickup line sealed the deal.
It depends on the person offering the pickup line. If you like the person then the line is goofy/sweet. If you don't like the person then the line can end up being really creepy, unwanted attention.
Sure, @strateguy632, but additionally "creepy" is the person's tone, intention, or the fact that a person is inappropriately approaching. It's not just the words. For example, if I was leering at you from a distance till you felt uncomfortable and then came over, which you also felt uncomfortable with and then said ANYTHING to you, even something mundane like, "So, what brings you in here today?" you'd feel the "ICK" factor rising in your chest for sure.
This might also increase if you were, for example, significantly younger, married, very drunk, etc. etc. etc.
In the case of women, we tend to get cornered all the time and approached by people who set off our "ICK" radar till we feel obligated to walk away or react negatively to the unwanted and unwelcome attention.
BY CONTRAST, let's say my man comes up to me and teases me with the very cheesiest pickup line -- or calls and says something cheesy with a flirtatious intention... or is trying to get out of "the dog house" over a minor thing we've been discussing and turns on the cute/sweet flirtatious charm I like about him... THEN obviously I'll have a different... very positive reaction to what he's saying because we're receptive to one another and are both accepting that flirtatious and affectionate vibe building between us (aka, "romantic chemistry").
Sometimes I do , depending on what mood I am in , pick up lines usually work , if they are good pick up lines , mainly to hopefully make her smile or laugh , not too cringy and not coming off as desperate or a creep. I will usually say something to make her smile just to get her attention , so I can strike up a conversation with her , without feeling awkward and making her feel awkward if that makes sense lol
I've never tried using a pick-up line and can't imagine ever using one. I would think that it would seem obvious that they were rehearsed. Fortunately, I believe I'm witty & enough to come up with something spontaneously. I don't think I know of any pick up lines aside from the age old "If I said you had a hot body would you hold it against me" or one that I think was used in the 70s' in which someone would ask you- or you asked them- what their astrological sign is. I know nothing and have never felt the need to know anything about astrology so I couldn't use that and I think it would be way too obviously weird
The OP hit it right on the head. Timing and presentation are key to any interaction with a person of the opposite gender. A guy can use an OBVIOUS pick up line, and then start laughing. Most women will also laugh as well. The pick up line did its job. It started a conversation.
I have found the best "pick up" line is, "Hello. "
I think it depends on the scenario and those involved also demeanor. The girl giving the pickup line, boy receiving and the boy giving the pickup line, girl receiving, etc. All depends on the individual scenario & how they demonstrate their character. That is it.
I don’t use pickup lines (since I’m in a relationship) though IF I were single I probably wouldn’t unless the appropriate scenario presents itself I guess idk….
Pickup lines are only needed if the woman is a) one of those women, sigh and not worth my time and b) pickup lines are useless and if a woman is interested, that's the only 'pickup'
If it's someone attractive and it's a really good original pickup line, then maybe.
Personally I'd never open a conversation with a stranger using a pickup line, or say one to anyone that I wasn't already in a relationship with. But me and my girlfriend often use them on each other as a bit of a joke. She loves them best when you bait her into one without her knowing it's a pickup line.
Sometimes these thing make me pretty uncomfortable. When I was taking instrument lessons (instrument flying) there was a girl at the FBO (flight school) who was all over me every time I was there, to the point that my instructor noticed it and commented " she wants to fuck you so bad you better not crash and disappoint her". She was very attractive but it made me very uncomfortable at the time. However, we eventually got together...
I’m not gonna say pick up lines to a girl, last thing I wanna do is piss off a girl who’s on her period and she’s in a rush to get home and I’m totally aloof why and catch a boot in the nuts 🥴 I mean, shit like that happens in romantic comedy movies sooo I gotta go by that method.
I feel like we have lost a lot in the digital age when it comes to flirting and dating and (when an advance is appreciated) the chasing and being chased. I personally like pick up lines. I think it's brave, a good ice breaker especially if they're funny, and it's flattering. The only thing that makes it's negative is if I were to acknowledge and politely decline the advance and they weren't respectful about that.
Never used one. My best line is hello and that actually opens up enough verbal and non verbal cues from the woman for me to know if I should keep conversing or move on.
I generally compliment her on something I see. It always draws a smile. I don't use pickup lines but i dont get far with most women I see in acceptable social situations.
I don’t like pickup lines. I find them disenguine and I’d rather take a girl seriously that I felt drawn to.

Not really… I’m not into this whole degenerate hook up thing. Usually if I’m interested in someone it’s someone I know. Not just some random woman I don’t know
