Back in my prime, when the bars were our social battleground, my friends and I were on a mission to master the art of the pick-up line. We weren’t just after numbers; we were after perfection, building an arsenal of charm and wit. We called ourselves playboys, and over time, we gathered lines that ranged from cheeky to absurd.

One classic was the “Magic Pen Trick.” Approaching with confidence, I’d draw a line on a napkin and hand it over, saying, “A pickup line.” Another favorite was, “Who among you has low standards?” which worked audaciously well for my friend, Tim.

For a touch of self-deprecation, I once asked a woman at a party, “Want to make a big mistake?” She laughed, and we talked all night. Sometimes, it was as simple as asking, “Do you have a quarter? I need to call my mom and tell her I met the woman I’m going to marry.”

These lines, born from years of practice, were delivered with a smile, aiming to make people laugh and feel good. So, if you ever find yourself in need of an icebreaker, give these a shot. Remember, the best lines aren’t just about charm; they’re about making someone’s day a little brighter.
