Do pick up lines genuinely work? Yet when we hear the phrase "pickup line," we tend to visualize some sleazy dude wearing a gold chain displayed across his hairy chest. As a Barry White song plays on the soundtrack, he lurks in the nightclub looking for his next conquest...

He goes to approach the girl...looks her up and down, like a hungry jackal eyeballing a slab of meat...and delivers a cheesy pick up line that causes her to roll her eyes (or throw her martini in his face).

I'm referring to pick up lines like these...

"I sure hope you know CPR, because you're taking my breath away."

"Can I borrow a quarter? [What for?] I want to call my mom and tell her I just met the woman of my dreams."

"Hey, can I borrow a map? Because I keep on getting lost in your eyes."

"Are you religious? Cause you are the answers to all my prayers."

"Sorry lady, but you owe me a drink. [Why?] Because when I looked at you, I dropped mine."

"Hello. Cupid called. He says to tell you that he needs my heart back."

"I play the field, and it looks like I just hit a home run with you."

"Your legs must be tired because you've been running through my mind all night."

"Is there an airport nearby or is that just my heart taking off?"

"I was so mesmerized by your beauty that I ran into that wall over there...I'm going to need your name and number for insurance purposes."

Now, not all pick up lines are THAT cheesy. I'll give you a few examples of pickup lines that I've successfully used to approach women. The key is to follow them up with something more clever (I'll give you some of these "transitions" in a minute).

"Would you touch me so I can tell my friends I've been touched by an angel?"

"Can you pull this heart-shaped arrow out of my back, because a little kid with wings just shot me."

"Your daddy must have been a baker, because you've got a nice set of buns."

"If a thousand painters worked for a thousand years, they could not create a work of art as beautiful as you."

(You shouldn't use this pick up line on girls who are very hot and KNOW it. This line is more effective when you approach women who appear to be a bit shy and don't have a stuck-up attitude.)

And then, there's another category of pick up lines some guys use when they approach women. You can call these ones...

Pick Up Lines That Might Get You Kicked In The Balls

You'll want to be extremely cautious when using the following lines when you approach women. A woman with a sense of humor might find them amusing, but you also run the risk of getting hit or having a martini tossed in your face. (Especially if her boyfriend the UFC fighter happens to be standing nearby.) Like I said, be careful...

"Do you know what has 142 teeth and holds back the Incredible Hulk? [What?] My zipper."

"Your daddy must play the trumpet, because he sure made me horny!"

"That's a nice set of legs, what time do they open?"

The Truth About Pick Up Lines

But are all pick up lines only good for a laugh? Would any REAL pick up artist deign to use them? I've written several popular books on how to pick up women, which teach many different resourceful approaches to starting conversations with girls. And personally, I think pick up lines are usually way too obvious.

I typically suggest that you use the "under the radar" style of opening conversations. This means you use a clever, unexpected comment or question to catch her interest and engage her in the interaction without telegraphing that you like her. Essentially, you're "breaking the ice" in a way that feels fun and non-threatening.

I like to approach the girl and ask her a clever question, one that females are naturally going to have an opinion about.

Opener #1: "Quick question -- would you allow your boyfriend to go to a bachelor party if you knew there were going to be strippers there? Because my friend Jennifer is sort of freaking out about this right now."

Opener #2: "Hey, help me settle a debate I'm having with my friends. How long do you need to be dating someone before you change your status on Facebook from "single" to "in a relationship?" Because my friend Jennifer has been going out with a guy for a month and SHE thinks it's an exclusive thing, but he hasn't changed his "single" status and she's wondering if she should say something..."

These methods of approaching women are especially effective because they're based on what I call "relationship grey areas." Men and women tend to have their own ideas about what's allowed in a relationship, and what is unacceptable. Another example: is it "cheating" if a guy hangs out with his ex-girlfriend socially, without telling his current girlfriend?

The bottom line is, when you are approaching women a good opener is going to make her WANT to respond. And if you're a confident, playful guy, this one always gets a fun reaction:

"Do I look gay? Because this guy was TOTALLY hitting on me in the bathroom a second ago. Be honest, is it my shirt?" (Or, "is it the way my ass looks in these jeans?")

I wouldn't classify those as pick up lines. But does this mean pick up lines are, by definition, a bad thing?

In some situations, I actually opened the conversation by using one of those cheesy pick up lines -- and because I was able to transition into a fun conversation, I was able to get the girl into bed that night!

I showed a sense of humor by "confessing" that I had used a corny line to try to pick her up. After delivering it, I followed up with "I know that TOTALLY sounded like a pick up line...but I want to talk to you for a second and I couldn't think of what else to say. My name's Dean..."

Then from that stage, I used my Mack Tactics -- I asked a few "strategic" questions to get her in a fun mindset, and sharing information about herself...I used techniques like "Cold Reads" and "Hypotheticals"... and at all times, I stayed in control of the interaction and guided it down the correct path.

The simple truth is, you can get away with using a laughable pick up line and actually make women laugh (in a good way). The key to making this work is understanding how to follow it with something clever that makes her want to talk to you.

Or, you can always use this:

"You're so beautiful that you made me forget my pickup line."

(Women always find that one cute and funny!)
