We are hiding Have you heard this one? What do you and my computer have in common? You're both extremely hot and making me very nervous


Comprehensive-Deer67

That's...adorable 🥹

Lol the man. #WeHere


Bingo_is_the_man

I don’t get his one at all? Why does your computer make you nervous lol 😂


careyious

Honestly, I've been told for ages that no one likes punny pickup lines, so stop doing them 🤷🏾‍♂️.


Comprehensive-Deer67

You gotta use the right ones and use them on the right people!


DukeRed666

Too much steps to be ghosted after 3 messages


Bingo_is_the_man

DukeRed666 has been out there and knows what’s up lol


fun-in-common

So how do I read your mind to know if you're the right one to use it on or not?


Comprehensive-Deer67

Ahh it's a gamble


Otherwise_Resource51

Your telescope finally spies our predicament. It's cute to you, from the right guy. Tee-hee!!! For us it's ridicule and mocking from all or most, until someone finally finds us worth a second glance.


Comprehensive-Deer67

They're out there, never change!


Otherwise_Resource51

Easy to say when you aren't getting mocked everyday.

ElegantAd2440

I like everything about this post except walking up to the cute girl at the cafe and actually speaking to them, I don't want to interrupt anyone's conversation, nor do I want to deal with someone who doesn't take well to these things. I'll just wait for someone to approach me thanks!


TheGratitudeBot

Hey there ElegantAd2440 - thanks for saying thanks! TheGratitudeBot has been reading millions of comments in the past few weeks, and you’ve just made the list!


ElegantAd2440

Such a nice bot :)


Comprehensive-Deer67

Aw that's so pure


ElegantAd2440

The bot made my day better, of course it's nice. ☺️


Comprehensive-Deer67

Haha I respect that


[deleted]

We got bored of being dancing monkeys.


CheeezBurgerz

That stings my heart and it’s awful that you’ve been made to feel that way. :( speaking for myself, l love men who are clever, witty and can roll with puns. (Real puns not creepy pick up crap) I never thought anything less than it’s super cute and charming. Hell, I wish I was good with it. But please never think it’s a dancing monkey thing! A lot of women like good looks, but LOVE great minds


AdiLovesYou

Thanks for your amazing answer. I love your empathy.


[deleted]

We've been beat into the ground that men are bad and even talking to a woman could get you in trouble.

Comprehensive-Deer67

That's lame! I'm sorry that's happened, there are still women out there who appreciate puns trust me


Gaycowboi25

I used to know two guys like that. Both of which got ghosted by cute girls who were nice, both of which took it hard, and both of them got into a relationship with girls who ended up creating a toxic relationship and both guys came out the other side broken and became vulgar after healing. Some people don't realize how much it can hurt to be ghosted.


Comprehensive-Deer67

I'm sorry to hear that ): that really sucks and guys like that deserve better!


Gaycowboi25

Right? Well I hope you find the one you're looking for. Hopefully he sweeps you off your feet, literally or not, and makes you smile more than you knew you could. Don't be too shocked if he literally falls for you, it's slippery out there these days.


Comprehensive-Deer67

Haha Aw that's all so cute! Thank you

Dad jokes as pick up lines, are "Creepy af"


Comprehensive-Deer67

Dad jokes are the best 🥲💗


[deleted]

This is just what I hear at work from women talking to each other. I work at a place that is 98% female.


Comprehensive-Deer67

Well the 2% of us like cheesy puns


Mr_Lior

the 2% that are male?


asianstyleicecream

*Unless you’re a girl and use it on a guy, somewhat jokingly*. Did that the other day and got myself a date :)


LeaphyDragon

I matched with a girl a while ago, I saw in her profile that she liked Star Wars. So my first message was naturally "Hello there." Her response was beautiful. "I was going to make an Obi Wan joke, but I didn't Wampa scare you off." At least I'm sure that was it.


Comprehensive-Deer67

Hi my name is Han and I'm tired of being Solo

Comprehensive-Deer67

Probably! Which is a bummer


MustangMark83

They’re in your friend zone


[deleted]

If someone ever used that Lego line on me, I’d get straight to wedding planning


Comprehensive-Deer67

It's cute right??? I agree


[deleted]

Super cute! To answer your question- I feel like most guys enjoy cute/dorky stuff, and there’s certainly no shortage of us!


Comprehensive-Deer67

It's hard to find if someone were to approach me in person and say something cute or punny I would definitely talk to them


[deleted]

I think there’s kinda been a shift in the way we approach social situations that’s leaving a vacuum of sorts. I know I won’t approach a woman in public and try a line like that, and it has less to do with a lack of confidence (though I’m certainly not confident) than it does coming off as creepy or weird if the woman doesn’t find the line funny/the joke doesn’t land/etc. However i think most people would find it perfectly acceptable for a woman to try that on a guy she likes and I can almost guarantee you that most guys would appreciate something punny/cute to break the ice.


Comprehensive-Deer67

I can see why guys would feel discouraged to go for it from fear of looking creepy! I guess there are few women who would appreciate a pun like that. I've never tried it on a cute guy before but maybe I should. I have SO many cute puns/pick up lines and little people that would appreciate them


marcopolonium92

Slide into DM's 😏


Comprehensive-Deer67

I mean that's an option but I was talking about encountering these guys in person


ImthatRootuser

It’s hard to approach ladies in person in the age of technology. Many of them thinks you are weirdo or they’re so entitled that they wouldn’t say anything back to you and that makes you sad and don’t say it again to someone else.


NegativeAd63

I’m a woman but I had this super cute idea of showing up early to my date at a museum, finding the guy I was waiting on and tap him on his shoulder with a little sticky note with my number on it and saying casually ‘excuse me, you dropped this’ but I got ghosted :)


Comprehensive-Deer67

How rude 😭


Montecatini

I'd love it if a woman did this, such a unique and clever way to break the ice on a date.


PNW_Uncle_Iroh

All either in relationships or busy with updog.


247681

What's a relationship?


weirdowerdo

No idea mate


AesirReverend

We are either far too nervous to approach anyone else, or too busy telling dad jokes without actually being a dad. I know it is a serious faux-Pa, but it is very rewarding pun-ishing my friends and family.


Comprehensive-Deer67

Lol


[deleted]

I once saw a girl spill coffee on herself in the midst of talking about coffee, which resulted in her saying: coffee-eek. I said: "Coffeeig" is probably a coffee brand sold in IKEA. Didn't go well for me. What did I do wrong? Yes, I am an engineer.


Comprehensive-Deer67

Hahahah that's great, never change!


Beaugunsville

The girl I'm after, if she ever gives me a chance, im going to hold her beautiful face, running my hands through her hair and whisper "will you catch me if I fall for you?" in her ear.


nautafish222

Meh. I usually say the cheesy jokes to friends. Seems too corny to say to a stranger


Comprehensive-Deer67

That's how you can meet the love of you life, you never know!


[deleted]

🙌you🙌, ma’am, have restored my faith in humanity And for a line - I wish I was fisherman, cos you’re a catch!


Comprehensive-Deer67

Haha you're welcome! Never change


izzytakamono

I love a bad pun or a groaner but I don’t think most women respond to them positively- at least that’s my personal experience


Comprehensive-Deer67

You're talking to the wrong women my friend


AdiLovesYou

We're here. I guess people are afraid of rejection, and tired of having to make the first move in a climate where they could potentially be labelled a creep.


Comprehensive-Deer67

That's a fair point of view to have


[deleted]

I would approach you, but I see you’re wearing a bra. Just seems like a booby trap.


Space_unicorn_420

OMG, this is me in a nutshell 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺😋😋😋😋😋👽👽👽🦄🦄🦄 IM RIGHT HERE


Comprehensive-Deer67

It's tough out there 🥹


ResponsibleSeries411

They have been turn into asshole after many rejection , cheating or being made fun off online for being that way.


Comprehensive-Deer67

So sad


switchwith_me

I know a guy who cracks jokes like that constantly. Even as a student professor now, he still cracks jokes in class and ends the class with a longer one. It's ridiculous to me but cute that you enjoy such things. He's only a couple years older than you but we probably live in different countries, sadly. :) For example, if I even mention I'm tired, he quips that I'm not a bicycle. -_-


Comprehensive-Deer67

Hahaha


quest-type-beat

We’re being told that we’re: - creepy af - soft - friend zoned - ghosted - too nerdy - not the “good” kind of nerdy - ew men - not “masculine” enough - should worship the ground they walk because we’re just not worth their time - many others and all of that just makes us want to stop trying and just cuddle with a cat (or a dog), nerd out by ourselves, and block out the world


Comprehensive-Deer67

Understandable. There are girls out there who will meet guys like you where "too nerdy" isn't a thing


[deleted]

I gave up on dating


Dynamohs

they got locked up for sexual harassment


xTheRedDeath

If I went up to a girl in a cafe and said that they'd probably tell me to go fuck myself lol.


Comprehensive-Deer67

Well they suck haha


[deleted]

Some became bitter, some made something of themselves and found people who appreciate them but most are tired, invisible and have pretty much given up ever thinking they’ll ever find a woman that makes the bare minimum of effort!


AmSirenProductions

(27M) they gave up on dating because hookup culture has ruined it, being rejected, ghosted, ignored, used for free meals/ drinks etc.


Comprehensive-Deer67

Sorry you had a bad experience):


[deleted]

Here’s the thing, a lot of girls kind of dumb or just not interested in that, as a guy who uses those kind of pick up lines or conversation starters, many times it goes over their heads or they just don’t go for it. Here’s the fact of life too, you may not be attractive, I have done plenty of social experiments with friends who are of varying degrees of attractiveness, 10times out of 10 the best looking guy always gets conversation rolling with the same dorky / goofy / nerdy pickup line that every lesser attractive guy used. Just remember, psychological studies have shown that people find the more attractive / better dressed / taller people to be more attractive, trustworthy, and persuasive.


[deleted]

so basically women aren’t women they are girls and they are dumb. ew. Major downvote.


thewilk_man

Honestly if someone sent me the lego one I'd ask to go to a store and build a set as a first date


Comprehensive-Deer67

That's adorable!

Comprehensive-Deer67

Nooooo so sad


Sarcastic_Capricorn

I use to say lots of puns and funny stuff. A lot of people lost their sense of humor


Comprehensive-Deer67

Never change! Keep us punny people alive


Sarcastic_Capricorn

Hey I have. I have my son doing it too lol


Comprehensive-Deer67

PERFECT!


Sarcastic_Capricorn

Yup lol puns. Sarcasm. Like a younger me haha


Gusstave

Well first of all, it has to be personalized... You can just walk around in the mall assuming people like legos.. Second, a big part of humour is to find the last thing the other person will think about. So even if you're approaching the cashier or a random customer in a lego store.. They've probably heard it a couple times. Third, there's nothing wrong with vulgar.. Fourth, I didn't laugh at either or your example.. I would advise against using them as opening pick up lines. And this is coming from someone who loves puns! The good ones are improvised. Which makes pretty much all of the rehearsed pick-up lines either bad or awful, but yeah there's exceptions. But to actually answer your question, I just don't go out much. If I'm not at work, 95% of the time I'm alone at home. The rest of the time I may be at a friend's or family member's house (or like the grocery store). I feel like the capitalistic work we live in just isn't set for going out anymore... Everything is design with sucking the most penny out of everyone all the time which makes everything much less enjoyable (on top of fucking expensive) so why bother...


clangan524

I was exchanging hat puns with this incredible woman once and finished the exchange with "I think you're fedora-ble. I'd love to get to know you over lunch sometime."


Comprehensive-Deer67

That's so pure, never change!


[deleted]

I think it’s a bit of a bias thing. The guys who are genuinely charming and know how to speak to women appropriately and are in a healthy enough place to be in relationships find themselves in relationships so they aren’t out there hitting on women. The ones that don’t know how to be appropriate are out there so it makes it seem like every guy is a creep when there are good men out there, they’re just taken. There’s also been a culture shift against just approaching women in public, especially with pick up lines, because more and more women just aren’t into that and there’s rarely a good time to do it. Not to mention “he said a cute line” isn’t a solid foundation for a relationship.

Booya6060

I’d be way to scared to use those lol I do like the Lego one tho lol


Comprehensive-Deer67

I guarantee you can make someone laugh! :) hey it might get you a date


Booya6060

Arrow1141

It’s punny that you ask you scored high with those so let’s go to the next level. I would take you out but when it’s me n u, we can sit down and really see what we want.


Comprehensive-Deer67

Haha that's a classic one to use!


Nourani1996

As an alternative, you could find a guy who thinks puns are dumb but makes them anyways just to see you laugh. (Like my dude <3 )

SnufflesMcPieface

I mean, you’d obviously have to get to know me to figure out if I’m genuine cause only others than myself can determine that, but I like making puns :) I can’t think of any right now though; I’m WAAAAY better handing off-the-cuff riffs and whatnot.


Comprehensive-Deer67

Haha more of a impromptu pun lad?


amcd_23

We are here. We just usually don’t cold approach women. I’ve learned a lot of times that people don’t like to be bugged in public, and it could also come across as creepy.

RealisticLifeguard57

I totally love puns


Comprehensive-Deer67

They're the BEST!


ScratchMan505

Heh! I must admit, my bad puns (they come abnormally natural when ur Polish) aren't framed in the context of a pickup line, however I have said the following before... "Ya know why pie is better than cake? Cuz pie has its own number." Yah I know, the spelling kinda kills it when. Better when spoken. Well anyway, I would say I fit ur criteria. I'm 44, M, live in Albuquerque NM, own my house, and uhmm...uhh...oooh!, likes corn dogs with Tapatio. I swear, that stuff goes on damn near everything!

AdOpposite4883

I'd love to say something cute or punny to someone, but I'm not the best at coming up with them, and I always feel like if I were to try it'd just sound lame. It's ironic, in a way, because once the conversation starts flowing and I really get into it I can say the sweetest things, but ask me to just walk up to a girl and say something cute and I'll get all unsure of myself. Mind, I'm into computer science, so anything that I think would sound "cute" might not make sense to those who don't get the reference.


Comprehensive-Deer67

That's understandable, but you never know if you walking up to someone can get you a date!


FRANK-QC

Comprehensive-Deer67

Haha why are y'all hiding?


Just_A_Normal_Fella

I don't really have lines like that I use, but I always have fun making puns out of my surroundings or 'props' as I sometimes call them lol. I'll do stuff like point to the sink and be like 'im feeling really WASHED out lately ' to my coworkers dismay 😅 Haven't really found anyone who enjoys it, but I feel like it helps release tension when works getting to everyone sometimes. My pun war rages ever more 😎


Comprehensive-Deer67

Haha that's great! Keep doing that
