The Best Pickup Line in The World

In more than 20 years as a dating coach I've seen a lot of pickup lines. Here is the absolute best... as well as some that might be the best FOR YOU or best FOR THE SITUATION.

His best pick up line is : "Hi excuse me!"

[GCOUNDOU]

i used the "sorry i am late" line when I approached two women and they fell off laughing.... it was a great opener!

Damn Todd looks like the women took 20 years of his life

[alanX]

What say we all chip in and get Todd a decent haircut and beard trim?

[sandialoser]

“I thought you looked…interesting” last line you’ll ever need

[gerryortiz]

Even better line “Hey excuse me, never mind”

[Caleb]

I don’t necessarily agree with the first approach. Telling a woman that she is cute and that’s why you wanted to talk is very direct. I would give it an 8 out 10 on the man to woman intensity scale. The problem is that you now have to keep that same level of intensity throughout the interaction. Some men can, but most cannot. The intensity will fizzle to 2 out of 10 by the time it ends. I think a better approach is to start off at a lower intensity and ESCALATE if she is responding and showing signs of interest. This way the interaction ends with an 8 out 10.

Notes:

1. Direct-Intent: "You're cute I wanted to meet you"
PROS:
- Getting to the point immediately
- Man-to-woman immediately
- Assertive, unapologetic, convey high value

CONS:
- Girl has to decide at THAT moment (with little infomation), if you qualify as a sexual partner

2. Generic Compliment
- compliment the vibe, outfit, fashion, style, personality
PROS:
- Not too direct, allow your personality to show
- Allow more time for girl to warm up to you
CONS:
- no man-to-woman intent

3. Situational Tease
- tease her on something she is doing right now
- sarcasm, humorous assumption
PROS:
- powerful, witty, playful
CONS:
- need something to happen to be able to comment on [situational]

4. Push-Pull opener
- compliment, then banter (positive > negative)
- banter, then compliment (negative > positive)
PROS:
- create emotional roller coaster
-keep her guessing (does he likes me, does he not?)

5. Gimmick opener
- Pretend that she is your ex-gf (roleplay)
PROS:
- Powerful, can create the best conversations
- can be fun
CONS:
- Not consistent, all over the place
- hit or miss

6. Opinion Opener (best opener according to Todd)
- Start off asking a question, then lead of into an interaction
- Ask questions women like to talk about (i.e. Who lies more, men or women?, Can you be friends with your ex?, can you help name my dog?)
PROS:
- can be engaging
CONS:
- can be too engaging

7. BEST Opening Line of all time [the GOAT]: "Hey s'cuse me..."
- the best opener is no opener
- get into the interaction ASAP
- lowkey, and effortless is better
PROS:
- skip the awkward open and jump right into interaction flow
CONS:
- should only be used by advanced conversionalist that can flow around conversations, to prevent awkwardness

Key takeaway:
- The key is to mix and match the openers (not just use one), and flow from one opener to the next.
- Start from "Hey s'cuse me", and jump into any other opener.
- Start with low intent openers to warm her up to you, and allow your personality to shine, if the vibe is good, advance to man-to-woman intent ASAP.
- For example: "Hey s'cuse me" -> Generic Compliment (warm her up) -> Opinion Opener (get her talking) -> Push-Pull opener (tease, emotional roller coaster)-> Direct-Intent (establish intent) -> get the IG/phone number, and bounce.

My best opener, works like a charm.. rarely gets blown out:

Me: (big smile) hi I’m Al (puts out hand for shake) what’s your name?
Her: (shakes hand) I’m Sarah


So that’s the opener.. works great, not weird.. No fancy tricks.

The basic “problem” with that opener is it doesn’t go man to woman. Which is why after I get her name I’ll usually go with:

I love your vibe/that’s a nice name/ I’ve gotta go in a sec and find my friends, but I saw you and had to introduce myself to the (insert compliment here) girl before I go


Basically the skies the limit on what you can say after she tells you her name… so make it good. This opener is nearly one hundred percent on getting her name atleast.

If you are a handsome man being blunt can and does work 😊But if you are not a handsome man being blunt not good 😮

[moneyinyourpockets]

The guy that lost his ⌚, like Brenden Fraser in blast from the past "excuse me ladies, I seem to have lost my congressional medal of honor around here" 😂 that was genius!

[institutmorningkiss]

Haha, I'm a french dating coach. I'm loving your "Hey scuse me" opener. Very powerful. Stolen !

[OHHnoYOUdidntMAN]

I'm reading: Stranger in A Strange Land, Robert Cialdini, Sperm Wars, Making People Talk, The Moral Animal, The Truth About What Women Want... from your recommendations.

My mind has exploded.

[timotheusnobel]

Nah na na, I'll tell you the best opener (although it does require some eye contact first): "You can't stop staring at me can you!" Then after she blushes etc, ask for her name... I've used this myself to great effect!

[welderfixer]

Best pick-up line? Why bother?! It will only lead to anguish, despair, heartache and bankruptcy. 58yo and never going back to that mess. Nope - just nope! A good bass boat or audio system can always be fixed if it lets you down.
Also, a good plan is to dress well, be as attractive as possible and make yourself as unavailable to them as they have done to us. Give them the "You are so beneath me and my time look" as you ignore them if women approach you.

Yes, a master class on openers. I would emphasize that almost all openers should be given in a relaxed "cool" manner. One of the main things most women want is a confident man. Being relaxed and cool and delivering lines in a relaxed manner says confidence. If you do a riff on she's your old girlfriend, be completely into it. Never do it jokingly. Be deadpan all the way. Even if you say, "Oh, I was just joking", do it in a relaxed, cool way, not laughingly.

Also, remember, you do not know if you want to be with this girl or not. This is the part where you evaluate her as much or more as she evaluates you. Is she smart enough to be a good date. Is she humorous enough to be fun. Remember, you have the right to end the conversation at any time and move on, if she does seem fun.

Good conversations usually consist of sharing information, laughing, sharing information, laughing. You can practice your conversation skills with anyone. You can practice your exchanging information, joking, teasing skills with your friends, co-workers, or strangers. They're the same basic skills that you will use talking to women.

Finally, if you want to practice being more relaxed approaching women, approach women in whom you are not too interested. The main thing that make us nervous about approaching women we consider attractive is that we want it to go well, because we really want to be with her. However, if we approach a woman we do not consider that attractive, it will be very easy to remain cool and relaxed, because we do not care if it goes that well. It's just a practice session. After you hone your openings and conversation skills on women in whom you are not that interested, it will be easier to approach women in whom you are more interested.
