Any girl who has a Tinder account has encountered the infamous guys with books full of pickup lines to dish to unfortunate matches. You know that moment when you see a hot guy on Tinder, swipe right, match and think everything is just lit as hell until he hits you with a sleazy one-liner? Yeah, it's gross. Even if you are on Tinder just looking for a hookup (you do you girl, but be safe), nobody likes these. They're cheesy, and while some may make me laugh, I just can't take these guys seriously. Here are some of the best/worst pickup lines I've received, and my advice on how to respond if you, too, become a victim:
1. David, who tried his hardest, but still came off as creepy:
Now, this guy accomplished his goal of standing out, and I was flattered, but it was still mildly creepy. If you get one of these, I suggest either steering the conversation in a different direction or just screenshotting and unmatching. Whatever floats your boat.
2. Matt, who thinks he's super clever:
Just don't respond unless you dig guys who probably eat plain oatmeal for breakfast.
3. Dalton, who clearly hasn't researched pickup lines since his birth:
My suggestion with a situation like this would be to say something along the lines of, "Yo, try again. That one sucked."
4. Brenden, who was just trying to make himself look bad:
A great response to this one would probably be a jab at the "few inches" remark. You could really start a great roasting session here.
5. Xavier, who has a lot of time on his hands:
I mean, if cloning is your thing, go for it. Honestly, I'm gonna say that Xavier was actually pretty smooth with this one. I mean I'm the type that needs someone to worship me, so this is right up my alley.
6. Peter, who does hard drugs in his free time:
The proper response to this is a great big "HELL YEAH." Why not? Everyone loves garlic bread. I mean obviously don't talk to this guy if he continues to be weird, but garlic bread? Come on.
7. Last, but certainly not least, my favorite of the bunch is Nicholas, who really knows how to reel in a lady:
Honestly, if you find this guy, capture him and keep him.
It's lit.
