Pickup Fails That Remind Us It’s A Battlefield Out There For Single People
Some pick-up lines are so smooth that they leave you feeling a little overwhelmed by how easily you were trapped.
But more often than not, pick-up lines are flat-out cringeworthy attempts at getting your attention and sometimes they backfire in the best way possible.
Hot Tip: This Is Not Better Than A Cash Tip
Bartenders and servers are used to being hit on by strangers, but this is a new approach.

Every once in a while a terrible pickup line is actually going to land and work on someone, and this is an example of one of those times.

Being shut down is bad enough but being shut down by hearing "I'm getting married next week" is a punch in the gut.
This guy seems to have missed his chance by a few years.
Almost Kissin' Cousins Thanks To 23AndMe
Hitting on someone via the 23andMe ancestry tracing app is a new low for single people everywhere.
The personalized message says "Less than a third of a percent shared DNA.. hook up would be ok?" No, no it would not.
The Nastiest Pickup Line
This type of self-defecating humor (sorry, self-deprecating) is bound to earn a guy some disgusted responses.
Bathroom issues are not an attractive quality, despite what some men might think.
This Woman Was Just Sister-Zoned
There is the dreaded "friend zone" but this woman discovered a terrible new zone, the "sister zone."
Her attempt at going out with this guy earned her a sarcastic "get the f**k outta here."
Modern-Day Dating Cringe
Some pickup lines are so cringe-worthy that you never forget the awkward moment you heard them for the first time.
This woman couldn't get past the corniness of someone's Spotify music-themed flirting and we don't blame her.
The Opposite Of A Pickup Line
The anti-compliment still happens out in the wild when single people meet and this pickup line is an example.
Fire alarms save lives and have a purpose, so what the heck is he bringing to the table?
Nobody Wants That... Like Nobody
There are a lot of layers to this post and a lot of unanswered questions— probably for the best.
Still, the point stands that some lunatic is out there offering to give away his STIs to random people on the street.
Their Priorities Are Whack
Women who are too hung up on height should be prepared for some men to be easily offended by it.
These two don't seem like they are going to make a promising pair, and they haven't even had their first date yet.

This presumptuous pickup line is kind of funny and we have to give the little dude credit for that.
His confident personality seems to make up for anything he lacks in height.

But not as slim as finding someone who has never heard of it and is also a self-proclaimed polar bear expert.

It's not a good start and it almost always backfires, just like it did here.
A Possible Mustache Queen
