Recently, Johnny, one of our most loyal commenters on EMandLO.com, posted the following in response to our Blog Snog partner’s article “Guys of Reddit share the cheesy pickup lines that actually kind of work”:
The lesson behind those corny pickup lines is that women like an outgoing guy. It’s not the lines that worked for them. It’s the fact that they had the balls to express their attraction in a cheesy-but-harmless way. The only “line” I ever really used is one of the oldest in the book. When girls walked by as I worked out the gym, I’d do the old, “98! 99! 100!” It worked great. They’d crack a big grin and roll their eyes and then be receptive to conversation. Disgusted sneer and walk away = she hates you and your line. Rolls eyes to the ceiling and smiles = green light!
