Love Zhaoying Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 What pickup lines work best? Here are some examples I like: - Can I go shopping with you? - Could you give me a tour of your land? - I admire your avatar! - Would you like to cuddle? - Tell me about you, anything at all you care to share. - Could you give me some style advice for my av?

I'm not sure I have a "best" one that works on me. But if he is funny and smart and uses complete sentences he is doing pretty well! 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BelindaN Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Well.... Very early on I'd just rezzed at Miami Beach. I was a fairly basic (but cute!) avi. As I walked away from the tp location, a simple system avi guy said "I like your style". It was clear that he had said the first thing that came into his head to get my attention, so I cut him some slack and we chatted. It turned out he was new like me and we got on really well. He was my first guy friend and one of my very earliest friends. Over the next six weeks we chatted, we explored, we danced and we cuddled. It was all very innocent fun. Then he was gone. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you hang your art for sale in restaurants, stores, etc.? You just reminded me of the very old cheesy line, “Come up to my place, so I can show you my etchings.” 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(something I had never done before and rarely done since). We celebrate 10 years partnered in a couple of months 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solar Legion Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Line? None. General chatter if you want to be slow, blunt and to the point if you're just looking for an evening distraction or such. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selene Gregoire Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Using pickup lines, in my experience, is nothing more than a means to a one night stand. If that is all you are after then keep moving. I'm not interested. Unlike 95% of the people in SL, I am not, never have been and never will be in SL for sex. Anyone who believes pickup lines are a desirable thing (what women want to hear or even men because it goes both ways) should read this: http://www.thefrequentdater.com/why-pickup-lines-dont-work/ 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could have titled better. My partial intent was “lines that would get you interested in the person”, leading to something meaningful, hopefully..not just pixel bumping. Hopefully leads to “I want to get to know you”. Edited November 30, 2018 by Love Zhaoying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoiraKathleen Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 I pretty much ignore anything that sounds like it might be a pick-up line, especially from anyone who is not in view distance. If someone is just interested in being friends (platonic) they shouldn't use what sounds like a pick-up line. If someone is looking for more than that, it's not going to happen. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love Zhaoying Posted November 30, 2018 Author Share Posted November 30, 2018 A line I actually use is, “My greatest joy is getting to know someone, finding those common truths that tie us together through our different experiences, beliefs, hopes, and dreams.” It helps me stay positive that we will find some joy in getting to know one another, no matter our differences. It helps explain that I want to hear their story, who they are, what they hope to find in life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janet Voxel Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Talking to me like we’ve been friends for years already always sucks me in. Having a good sense of humor, being able to laugh at yourself goes a long way too. I’m pretty low maintenance when it comes to stuff like that. The problem is those two things are very hard to come by. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And my reply was "don't use lines". The link I posted applies to everyone, not just men approaching women. Quote Even if you managed to find the best pick up line in the world, it wouldn’t exactly work. All pick up lines do, if they work at all, is create a temporary spark of attraction. This small spark will fade, and if you have nothing else interesting to say, which you probably don’t if you felt the need to use the pick up line in the first place, her [or his/their] attraction will quickly dissipate. I couldn't have said it better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Food is a great example where you can find unity in diversity! Different cultures have similar dishes: soups, noodles/pasta, comfort food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If somebody said that to me in a bar, I'd assume they needed professional help... The kind that involves burley orderlies helping them into a self-hug jacket with the extra long sleeves, that buckles up at the back... That's not a pickup line, it's an admission of escape from the "Hippie Recovery Unit" at the local Napoleon Factory... LMAO. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not said one word about "worst lines". I'm talking about all lines. Good, bad, indifferent. Doesn't matter. Using "lines" to make a connection doesn't achieve the results you want, except on a very rare occasion. Using "lines" just shows the other person you aren't very confident in yourself. It's not a good idea even when the desired result is to connect in a permanent way such as friendship. Consider the origin of "using lines" and go from there. Is it something that really has a place in today's society with an eye towards a more accepting future society? I'm pretty sure the answer is no. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure the answer is no. Is it bad that if a guy can make me laugh, even though I KNOW he is using a line, it's enough to make me let him keep trying? A good delivery and good follow-through can make up for new line even if it's clearly a line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
