125 Cheesy Pick-Up Lines So Funny and Terrible, You're Sure to Score a Smile
When you're looking for a relationship—or just see someone who you really want to get to know—there's a ton of pressure to make that first line great. Cheesy pick-up lines get a bad rap for being cringe, but if you start your conversation with the right combination of interest and humor, you may end up scoring a date or a number. Introducing yourself to someone new can be scary, whether you're on an app or in person, since the possibility of rejection is part of the deal. However, the perfect knowingly bad opening joke can be the best way of breaking that tension and the ice.
Surprisingly, yes: Researchers have actually put time and effort into studying just how far these groaners will get you. What they found was this: Men who approached women using cheesy pick-up lines were applauded for "taking control of the situation" and for exhibiting "spontaneous wit." They were also perceived as more helpful and wealthier than other men out there. One thing that didn't seem to work in their favor? Sexual innuendos. Anything that veered too far into sexual territory or quips that could be interpreted as a direct request for sex proved unsuccessful among the women they were used on. So try one of these amazingly bad pick-up lines on the next object of your affection—just remember to keep it moving if they're not interested.
