I would find it hard to believe that anyone would fall for this tripe.
Top 10 pick-up lines? Don't get too excited.
LONDON (Reuters) - Was your father a thief? Because he stole the stars from the sky and put them in your eyes.
Equipped with that pick-up line, you can be certain to score in the universal language of love. So say the authors of a new top 10 list of pick-up lines which have been translated from English into Czech, French, Italian, Spanish and German by the publishers Chambers.
Taking inspiration from its new range of pocket-sized phrasebooks, Chambers compiled its own list of the definitive top 10 pick-up lines.
The UK publisher picked the lines from the assorted phrase books and compiled their own light-hearted list, to assist vacationers heading out to European destinations this summer.
Anna Stevenson, from Chambers Harrap, said "The French and Italians are especially renowned for their romantic ways but it seems that chat-up lines are the same no matter what language you are speaking."
"Our chat-up lines show budding English- speaking Romeos how to impress the girl of their dreams whatever country she is from, but it also allows British women to wise up to the charms and cheeky ways of foreign suitors," said Stevenson.
If their top-rated suggestion does not have the desired effect, then try in one of six languages to say: "Didn't it hurt when you fell from heaven?"
Or maybe: "You must be tired because you've been running through my mind all day."
Scraping in at Number 10 in the romance parade comes "The only things your eyes haven't told me is your name."
Hey, why not? I know a guy who's idea of picking up a girl is to wait until she's too drunk to know better then try to sleep with her. No pickup lines involved, just creepy, restraining-order-or-jail-time type of behavior.
Note that I didn't call this guy a friend.
I have to admit, I am curious to see this list that will get me worldwide action.
you and I must have been separated at birth Reyn.
Those are the stupidest lines I have ever heard....I don't think I could control my face if someone really said that crap to me....and it wouldn't be laughing, it would be more like this.....
It wouldn't even really be directed at the person, just the idiocy of what they just said.
So, what were the other top 10 weiners?
What's your sign?
stop.
DAmn, I lost the keys to my Ferrari, well Ill ju7st call home and have Ralston bring the Rolls.

hehe, Well, I do occasionally break into a Texan-like drawl....or is that drool? No matter, can't remember.
You know, if you don't snatch that photo as one terrific avatar, i just might!
Isn't the idea of a "pick-up line" passe anyways? We are in the 2000+ era, etc, and so much more sopisticated, right?

Naw, fancy cars don't impress me....teehee.

I couldn't help but notice you and I just have to tell you I'd like you to sit on my face and feed me Hershey's Kisses from your ass......

A man that speaks from experience.
Your parents must be retarded.....because you're special.
number 1 pickup line for women to use.
YOU,.. PANTS,.. OFF,... NOW!
Pick me up a six pack while you're at it.
Pick up line that I've heard working a few times:
Guy walks up to the girl- 'I exist'.
:wink:
If you and I were squirrels, I'd store my nuts in your hole.

Women, who needs 'em when you've got a 6-pack of nukes to play with, eh, Edgar?
Hey, nice tooth. (Don't use this one outside of Arkansas)
Get in the truck. (Might work in Oklahoma)
One really shouldn't need anything more complicated than, "How's it going?" As far as I've seen, that works as well as any other and better than most.
If I could rearrange the alphabet, "I" would be next to "U".
Any lady who gets stroppy with farmerman's line is best left well alone.
I don't do lines. I prefer vibes. But I'm rather dishy and have dreamy poetic eyes.
Part of the problem is that we pride ourselves on being a rough & tumble, up-front, super-sincere society.
Women are more likely to trade the dozens than flowery compliments.
Also missing from the survey results are the replies of the European women to the European smarm. The replies can be salty or submissive or simply sassy.
I'd rather start a conversation with flowery nothings than be expected to discourse--again--on the characteristics of seasonable weather.
