I think anyone who's reduced to using a "pickup line" lacks the qualities to "pick up" anyone by their own qualities (or lack thereof).
Yeah, but you're an amateur fry cook and I come from a long line of fry cooks that don't live past 25.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Read them. Some of them are really charming.
I don't think there's anything inherently "reduced" about a bon mot designed to impress and seduce someone of the appropriate gender.

Not mine, right? Mine is happy and nice. Aims is morally bankrupt and disruptive.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I've gotten some good lines over the years, not that I can remember any of them. My favorite from someone I know is: Are you doing something different with your eyebrows? Not that I especially liked it from him, but it's a great line -- sounds like you're paying attention to detail, and approximates eye contact.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I'm unsubbed from the Cable Drama thread because I'm so far behind on many things, but this video has made my life complete. It is the best thing that has ever existed in the world.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
The weirdest line I have ever gotten was "You look like you would be a good provider."
