Almost everyone has been both the giver and receiver of a pickup line. What's most surprising to us here at FAIL Blog are not necessarily the pickup lines that failed or even the ones that worked. We're curious about the pickup lines that should never have worked but somehow did. What does that say about the state of dating culture in 2023 and what does that say about how we have lowered our collective standards?
On a positive note, it's nice that we have normalized the concept of taking big swings with the risk of completely missing and falling flat on your face. More of this, please! That being said, it seems like we are missing the happy medium between taking those big swings and holding one another accountable for being decent strangers. Because while it's surprising that some of these pickup lines worked, I would not suggest that everyone reads these and then tries them out on unsuspecting singletons.
Keep scrolling below for this brand new collection of strange pickup lines, which were compiled from this r/AskReddit thread. When you're done, here is a list of the top Karens of the year.
