Lots of dudes get into pickup, and want to learn some copy and paste lines that they think will work and help them with game. The truth, of course, is not always this simple. Some pickup lines work very well, and some don’t. To complicate matters even further, some pickup lines work very well for certain situations, while others will bomb and fail miserably.

Online Dating Pickup Lines

Take with online dating, for example. Dirty pickup lines will often work extremely well, as everyone knows why they’re on Tinder with one another. When you go on Tinder, you usually do so to hook up with someone of the opposite sex, so a straightforward and direct pickup line is often appreciated.

In person, however, dirty pickup lines almost always fail. The reason why is because most girls aren’t walking around in night clubs to get laid (although some are), whereas on Tinder most people are there to get laid. In addition to this, a dirty pickup line often comes across as threatening and weird in person, whereas on Tinder the threshold of normality is much higher.

When it comes to Tinder, using dirty pickup lines is a great idea. Most girls get lame openers like "Hey beautiful" and "wow you're gorgeous" so if you use a pickup line it will instantly make you stand out, especially if it's a little bit douchey (not too much though).

Don't use the typical Tinder advice that most guys are given. If you want to get laid, you need to use generic, cheesy, funny, and sometimes raunchy pickup lines, because you can't take the time to respond individually to each woman.

The goal of a pickup line is to screen a woman for sexual availability very quickly. If she doesn't want to hook up, she won't respond. If she at least has some interest, she will respond. That way you don't waste your time.

Pickup Lines in Person

The only line I ever use is basically asking her what’s up, and then making small talk. You want to tease her a bit, see if there’s chemistry, and if there is, get her number for later use. I just walk up to her, ask her some random question, and start talking from there.

You don't need a pickup line in person, other than: "Hey, can I meet you real quick?"

When you approach a girl you've never met in your entire life before, she knows why you're doing it. Girls aren't stupid, they know that if a random guy approaches them, he's probably trying to bang her. The key is to develop enough chemistry and decent enough social skills to make it happen.

If you have trouble approaching women, consider trying nofap. There's plenty of subreddits on this topic, because it works. Even if you don't believe in the science behind it and think it's junk, just try No Fap for a few weeks and see how you feel.

Anyways, I hope this helps someone. In short, pickup lines do work, but they are primarily for online game. The goal is to make her laugh and screen for sexual availability very quickly, to determine whether or not you're wasting your time.
