Beware: 10 Most Frightful Pick-Up Lines

HOLLYWOOD, CA, October 17, 2012 (Press-News.org) Because we all know that ghastly pick-up lines can scare the skeleton out of you and are mischievously laced with good ole' fashion bullshit that's meant to keep you talking - so those blood-sucking bad-boys can penetrate your sweet coffin and suck you dry! Beware and Enjoy - Rich.

1. You live around here?
Probably the most classic of frightful pick-up lines from the most amateur of bad-boys with no shot at scoring. He's just trying to bait you ladies into a conversation by asking you an innocent question. No chance suckas!

2. Where are you from?
Notice how these four simple words could spark a conversation? Don't fall for it ladies! Or better yet, answer it with: Barsoom (the planet Mars from Edgar Rice Burroughs and the sci-fi classic, John Carter). Or just a sweet smile that says "cute, but not enough".

3. What's your name?
Ouch, this one hurts just reading it! If she wanted you to know her name, chucklehead, then she would have introduced herself in the first place! NEXT.

4. Haven't I seen you in the movies?
What do you think - she's an idiot! And what's that mean, "in the movies"? Like Titanic or Twilight or We Bought a Zoo? So what are you thinking, pal? That this weak attempt at a complimentary statement disguised as a question will touch upon her deep dark desire to be a starlet? Think again my unoriginal friend, your feeble attempt at flattery will get you nowhere!

5. You're really hot!
Really? You think this frightful pick-up line will work? Are you kidding me! How many times have you heard this one ladies? From every chucklehead on the street just throwing bullshit against the wall and hoping it'll stick. Forgettaboutit!

6. Don't I know you?
Of course she doesn't know you, you idiot! Don't you know that women are smarter than men and usually pay more attention when first meeting someone, especially a wannabe Gigolo like yourself trying to pilfer her trick-or-treat bag. If she already met you, then chances are you've already crashed and burned while trying to hit on her with another one of my 10 Most Frightful Pick-Up Lines from this list!

7. Have we met before?
Come on guys, another feeble attempt at striking up a conversation by asking an innocent question that requires her to really look at you before answering. Can be a tricky one that sneaks up on you ladies, but don't be fooled! If you met him before then you already know that he's probably haunted by '50 Shades of Playerdom'. NEXT.

8. Is that you VANESSA? (or any other name)
This is definitely one of those classic Trick-or-Treat lines: if he's wrong, then who does he think you are, some two-bit hussy who doesn't leave an impression? And if you met him before and told him your name, then he should at least remember the place where you met and not guess wrong. Especially if you made a connection. And if he guesses correctly, then go for it! He's either telling the truth and you're in for a real Treat, or get ready for a wild hayride because he's a real psychic and a goblin with a bag full of Tricks!

9. You have BEAUTIFUL eyes! (or any synonym)
Once again, let me ask my favorite question, "So what does that mean?" Because any subjective comment complimenting a woman's asset, whether it be her eyes or her earlobes is just that: subjective. And usually full of Gigolo bullshit that's meant to move the conversation forward. Don't be fooled ladies! If you have beautiful eyes, a wonderful smile, great legs or whatever, you already know it and have been told a million times. BEWARE of all these Mr. Right-Nows with Frightful Pick-Up Lines that make you feel like they CARE!

10.Do you believe in love at first sight?
Give me a break! What decade do think this is, the Psychedelic 60's where Peace & Love was all the rage? Come on guys, you can do better than this. It's embarrassing! Because if you were truly blessed with love at first sight, you wouldn't have to inquire about it. It'll just happen, because it's meant to be and the Universe wants it to be. I know, a lot of Zen master mumbo-jumbo that's not fit for a player like you. Well think again, you ethereal chucklehead, and put your frightful pick-up lines to bed! Amen
