The 33 Worst (Best?) Tinder Pickup Lines of All Time

Lame. Immature. Sophomoric. Awful. Cringe-worthy.

Despite being a time-honored pastime of dating for decades, the use of pick-up lines has traditionally been largely ineffective. 

Tinder has upped the ante on this to the 10th power.

Since the app launched, it has become the de facto standard for mobile hookups, making pick-up lines actually somewhat necessary.

One literally requires an icebreaker, by definition.

Sometimes, this leads to genuine, good-natured lines. Yet the extent to which some people (mostly guys) go from 0-100 is amazing.

Often vulgar. Sometimes hilarious. Never boring.

Peep 33 of the best (worst?) Tinder lines ever used below, and feel bad for the women who somehow swiped right on these dudes.

Unless they went for it, of course …

Are you an appendix?

1
The Hollywood Gossip

That one is actually pretty good.

Let’s go at it HARD

2
The Hollywood Gossip

Soft, passive cuddlers need not apply.

Horny guys are people too!

3
The Hollywood Gossip

Seriously. Stop treating us like this is some kind of meat market!

What’s your …

4
The Hollywood Gossip

Typical guys, always coming on too strong.

Either answer works

5
The Hollywood Gossip

These two totally boned.

A (dead) bird in hand …

6
The Hollywood Gossip

… is worth one long-ass, somewhat compelling pickup line.

Fill in the blanks

7
The Hollywood Gossip

A for effort and execution on this one.

69 or $690?

8
The Hollywood Gossip

Something tells us he won’t get one without the other.

Persistence

9
The Hollywood Gossip

You gotta see it through.

Pro-turtle

10
The Hollywood Gossip

Autocorrect. The bane of everyone’s existence!

Pet insurance

11
The Hollywood Gossip

So wrong.

Sometimes it works …

12
The Hollywood Gossip

Only with select people of course.

Are you into karate?

13
The Hollywood Gossip

We totally thought this was going in a sexual direction that never materialized.

1/1

14
The Hollywood Gossip

Or 0/1. It’s not clear if he was actually a weiner in this game.

2 Fast

15
The Hollywood Gossip

If Fast & Furious franchise quotes don’t get you in somebody’s pants, what will?!

16
The Hollywood Gossip

I just need two more!

Pls?

17
The Hollywood Gossip

Keep it classy man.

Pretty Pls??

18
The Hollywood Gossip

Maybe a little more subtlety next time?

Just trynna pipe

19
The Hollywood Gossip

Wonder how her dad took that news at lunch.

Deal breaker

20
The Hollywood Gossip

No d–k pics on Snapchat? No date. Everyone has to have non-negotiables.

That’s not technically rearranging …

21
The Hollywood Gossip

But we see where he’s going with it.

More alphabet creativity

22
The Hollywood Gossip

Gross as this is, even she had to give props on the wordplay.

You win everything

23
The Hollywood Gossip

Seriously, that was pretty clever.

*Insert*

24
The Hollywood Gossip

Did anyone not see that coming

Thoughts?

25
The Hollywood Gossip

“Woah” is about all we could muster as well.

On second thought

26
The Hollywood Gossip

Back to swiping.

Okay then

27
The Hollywood Gossip

We hope for the sake of his health that he was kidding, though either way, we’re guessing this was met with [crickets] followed by a prompt Unmatch.

A spot on every list

28
The Hollywood Gossip

Nice setup for the end and not too repulsive either … we have a winner!

You WILL be here

29
The Hollywood Gossip

A bit forward, but in his defense, who doesn’t like those things?!

Not lacking for confidence

30
The Hollywood Gossip

Some of us are self-deprecating and modest. Not this Tinder user.

I’m locked out of my account!

31
The Hollywood Gossip

Maybe the FBI should’ve tried this against Apple.

Dang, girl!

32
The Hollywood Gossip

Proving that females can occasionally play the pickup game as well – with gusto!

Do you …

33
The Hollywood Gossip

Wow.
