When #10WorstPickUplines trended on Twitter for hours on Monday, we compiled the most popular and got to thinking. When was being cliché or obnoxious the way to a gay man’s heart or into his pants?
Maybe you’re shy. Perhaps you’re just looking for a conversation starter. Most likely, you’re drunk. But even if you’re tempted to use pick up lines due to a lack of confidence at Atlanta’s gay bars, by our analysis of the Twitter trend, you’re just coming off arrogant at best or desperate at worst. Hint: That’s the opposite of boyfriend material or even fuck buddy.
Even with a few too many drinks, you’re probably cleverer than “Have we met before?” or “Do you come here often?” But nine times out of 10, you’re still destined to fail. On the one occasion you do succeed, you’ll be lucky to wake up the next day with all of your vital organs intact.
Your friends might think your lines are hilarious or laugh at even your most pathetic and unoriginal approaches. Well, that’s what friends are for. So let’s laugh and roll our eyes together at some of Twitter’s #10WorstPickUplines. It’ll help put a finer point on keeping them among friends and out of your repertoire to make sure someone’s next hashtag isn’t #EpicFail about you.
