“Pick-up lines” are short, often clever or flirtatious statements used to initiate a conversation with someone you have romantic or sexual interest in. They often serve as icebreakers, attempting to capture attention and spark a connection.
Suspected Trump Shooter Remembered By Rifle Team Member As ‘Comically Bad Shot’: What We Know About Thomas Matthew Crooks“The innocuous and flippant lines are theorized to protect the user from rejection, as they can disguise a failed attempt as a simple question or a joke,” the researchers write, highlighting how an indirect approach is often perceived to be the safest bet.
“Men’s dislike of innocuous lines may be due to the lines not explicitly conveying intent. Hence, men are unable to determine if the woman using the line was interested in more than a conversation. For both men and women, users of direct lines are perceived as being the most likable and responsible, as well as being the least selfish,” the researchers explain.
While men using flippant lines were perceived to be funny, confident and more sociable than the others, these pick-up lines—especially when sexual in nature— were unappealing to women in search of reliable, long-term relationships.
