I just go with genuine compliments, haircut, clothing. I think complimenting someone's taste means a little more than complimenting their looks. I think it's much easier to interpret those remarks as friendly as opposed to romantic, though. If someone told me I had a nice haircut or said that they liked the color of the shirt I'm wearing, I wouldn't think twice of it. Casual acquaintances, male and female, say those kinds of things to each other all the time. Complimenting someone on their attractiveness has a more direct effect to me. Though if a stranger approaches you at a bar and makes a point to remark on your clothing, I suppose it would be pretty easy to read their intentions. And I guess complimenting someone's tastes does allow for a smoother transition into striking up an actual conversation with them.

I think "nice penis" would probably go over better with most guys than "nice breasts" would go over with most women. But then, if you're in a position where you can say that knowingly, I guess there isn't much picking up still necessary.

On a serious note, I don't use them because I don't pick people up. I once chased a random guy down my driveway when I was drunk and he was leaving my Halloween party. I said "where are you going?!" And we started dating a week after that.

This way men can get compliments that they deserve and women can feel free in giving them when they are inspired to without worry that it all becomes muddled with "but wait I'm not trying to HIT ON THAT PERSON" trauma LOL. I suppose if one were to go on the compliments route (which is fairly natural,yes?) it would pay to note how perpetually someone compliments them If I were a free woman I'd just tell the object of my desire "I find you compelling and handsome!" but I'm pretty assertive

I see pitfalls there. "Has anybody told you how much you look like Kristen Stewart?" "Wow. Thank you. I was totally going for that brain-dead zombie look."

Life complicates things, I find. Now a days if a guy hears me say, "You're cute! Now go away." that would be the best line coming out of my mouth.

But then, if you're in a position where you can say that knowingly, I guess there isn't much picking up still necessary. And if you are in a position to say this kind of thing knowingly, I'd assume that most women would also enjoy a compliment about their breasts (...or any other part). You only need to use it less like a trashy pickup line and more like a genuine compliment. Ya know what, it's probably best not to comment about her breasts at all, just make it a point to be embarrassed getting caught checking them out.

Why, thank you, Roy! I would never have imagined I may have fucked up without you! Thank you for continuing to read something that is not there in a post I make. Jolly bloody great! Not there, say you? Alright, sure! Don't be a nameist well its just i never met a girl with the name of jakub ...don't worry, neither have I. Come to think, however - your name does sound awfully... phonetical. Where're you from, again? I think "nice penis" would probably go over better with most guys than "nice breasts" would go over with most women. But then, if you're in a position where you can say that knowingly, I guess there isn't much picking up still necessary. Let's face it, it's men. A lot of us are filthy-minded every day and twice on sunday. Might creep me out, though. I get awful shy when the game stops. Only courageous as long as plastic's in the air, folks!

The name is translated into jacob thats why it may sound like it. Well, yeah, making the phonetic connection, it does sound exactly like Jacob. In English, granted. It gets easier to understand why it's so familiar. Now, I'm firmly in the inland, but the border's not that far away, so... Let's just say I understand every... fourth word on average when I play the Witcher in original language, ok?

I'm not talking about a "pickup" situation if that wasn't clear, more in the direction of people who already had a chance to see each other up close without any clothes on... At this stage those compliments are usually appreciated, even those that are usually frowned upon by women in other setting. Ah! I read that wrong, and yes if the compliment is genuine then yes, but it can't sound or feel obligatory. Best to be honest in your compliments.

Personally id never date anyone who opened with a bad line... it kinda gets me thinking about the person behind the line and their perception of me also and like... it makes me wonder what they think of me if they think thats gonna work... if that makes any sense. Also with that I think saying someone looks pretty/beautiful whatever is fine but targeting specific parts of their body with that would be a big no no (apart from if it was like hair or something thats ok)... again its kinda about their perception of you... what do they want??? What are they after??? Are they interested in you or how you look only??? (important questions there)... and bad pickup lines, compliments about specific body parts and things like that would raise red flags... also that thing where (I cant remember what its called exactly) but you secretly lower someones self esteem by giving them an insult disguised as a compliment or something like that... that would be a MASSIVE no... Anyone who treats relationships like some kind of game would basically be out... relationships are kinda serious for me (although obviously fun happens in them)... id sooner date someone who said the word 'Hi' or did something silly like fall over and spill their drink on me than I would someone who opened with a bad line or gave me compliments about body parts or did some kind of psychological convincing method on me. Ive never used a pickup line in my life I never make the first move because I constantly worry about things going wrong and me making a fool of myself so I leave it to more confident people to ask me out... and out of the few women who have (3 by now yay) ive never said no But ive been kinda hit on by a few guys before (not too many though because I dont usually go places where guys hit on me) and thats kinda awkward for me because I kinda have to turn them down... I basically have a pre-memorized line of 'Im so sorry but im a lesbian' stuck in my head for situations like those... the thing is I feel awful turning people down so I always say sorry but thank you because like a guy hitting on you is kinda a big compliment if nothing else Thhhaatttt being said I do approve of the use of pickup lines for humor purposes "Ive lost my teddy, can I sleep with you instead???" Also there was a really bad one on one of the Fast and Furious movies which went something like "Nice legs baby girl, what time do they open???" ... which is fine because it was Gal Gadot and lets face it EVERYONE would try and pick her up... especially in a wonder woman costume "Those boobs look heavy. Want me to hold them for you???" "Are you a parking ticket??? Because you have fine written all over you."

"You are stunning!" Apparently works decently well on the womens, folks. When I used to aspire to be more fit (in between babies) I was a kool kid on a fitness forums and I got one of these messages from a handsome looking avatar. Of course, I replied! "How often does this get you laid? And thanks!" So he decided to tell me: *gasp* he was batch sending msgs to all the females on the site! He was cackling behind his monitor, I'm sure, and just couldn't bear to waste the opportunity to divulge to someone his grand plan. So just like Chunky in the above gif, he decides he will be entertained by telling me about all this jazz. He's got a decent rate of return but most people see through his BS. And I told him "this is a pretty good gig for a creep like you because clearly we all self esteem issues because we think we're too fat!". Anyway fun fact: he was married. And had kids. And this was his hobby.
