Question What is your best gaming pickup line?

[MaddMann]

I know Valentine's day has come and gone, plenty of us are still single, and most of us are nerds. So, lets hear those groan worthy or just straight up funny pickup lines. Lets try to keep this moderately appropriate. Here are some examples of ones that I have either used or heard.

Hey, what is the drop rate on those pants?
Mario is red. Sonic is blue. Press start to join and be my player 2.
Are you a streamer? Because I have been following you

JEEZ, after the "Me Too" movement that got started, and the resulting empowerment of women in general, I'm not sure I'd feel safe using ANY of those lines.

Now you have to say "Press Start to join, and let me be your Player 2."

Well, honestly, the first one he mentioned was the only one they might feel is rude, but the 3rd also could be interpreted as stalking. I just feel though that anymore, most women don't want to hear gimmicky pickup lines, and that they're looking for someone whom isn't afraid to be himself.

I can tell you from experience that at least one woman still enjoys corny pick-up lines. I once made a hand-drawn booklet with pick-up lines based on various interests, among which a bunch of Skyrim ones.

Well, to me that's more like presenting a work of humor, vs putting them on the spot in public. Maybe I'm being old school, but pickup lines in my mind were always something presented to a gal in a public place.

These are just for fun. I've used pickup lines before, but I already knew them and it's in good fun. I'm not so tact-less that I would say that type of thing to a random person.

No, I didn't think you were. I was more just humorously offering a worst case scenario, hence the I ended it with.

I DO however feel women are changing into more strong willed, free thinkers that are less inclined to enjoy such approaches. There are always exceptions though.

I'm not sure they ever enjoyed them, honestly. Haha. I think pickup lines have always been nothing but corny jokes. And it's not really anything for people to get offended about. Just people goofing off and having fun.

Well yeah, there's ALWAYS been women who haven't enjoyed them, I just think that has increased substantially in recent times. To many of them, what used to be corny lines they would just ignore, are now insults that they don't just ignore anymore.

I think no matter the gender, it's a matter of delivery. So long as the person these pick up lines are used on is understanding of you (and I am well known in my circles for terrible dad jokes and excessive use of puns) they are ok, but you also have to look at the content of said joke, there is definitely a line that should not be crossed.

Yeah, I'd say the "drop rate on those pants" probably qualifies there. Lol
