girls: what's the lamest pickup line u've got from a guy at robotics comp?

[MattD1Drift]

I'm definatly a shy person, I can't talk to girls at all. Yes, I am a faliure.

'sometime during build season'

"i just wanted to say your really pretty." (5 seconds later) "So what is your robot design this year?"

bahhh lol

-Court-

[rarprrydude234]

"r u tired? cause u been running through my mind all day."

walk up to her with a cup of ice pull out a piece drop it on the ground and step on it. then say "now that we've broken the ice how bout we get onto the next step."

[BlackRoboDragon]

Never seen anything like this, or done it at a competition. Then again, I've only been to one. So yeah...

[irishninja]

I wasn't even aware that anything remotely romantic was going on at regionals. Must be my total lack of girl knowledge. I'm only shy around people I dont know, and I've never been on a date so I'm one of those afraid of rejection. How bout

Are you Jamaican because jamakin me crazy.
I heard some other geek ones but they are really dirty. Just enough to say they involve software, floppy disks, and paper copies.

[ThisGuyRight]

Is everyone ready for regionals? Who all is going to be in Houston, their predicting some majorly lame pickup lines.

[irishninja]

Couple things i'm still confused about.

Whats with the whole lei for the pineapple? I'm so confused.

neb84 i'll be at the NY regionall so thats someone you can meet

ziptie flowers are the coolest i gave one to my friend on v day. quite easy to make if i can get a pic ill put it up

so after finishing this entire thread (took me a week but oh well) couple more questions
Any one going to be at NY this year 06? Names Nathan bixler. I want to meet some other people at regionals becuase i didn't last year.

I can't believe some guys are so crude, and i'm a guy myself. And another question, does anyone actually use pickup lines seirously????

[MattD1Drift]

I don't use pickuplines, I've never used any like except, "I think your pretty" I don't use the word hot, its too degrading i think. that may also explain why ive never had a g.f, or gone on a dte, or anyone likeing me, haha.

Personally i'm not fond of pickup lines, so good for you for not using them. And yes, i agree that the word "Hot" seems degrading. I'd never use that to describe anyone, whether it be a boy or girl, and i doubt that has anything to do with people liking you or you going on a date.


I've never really gotten any true 'pickup lines' at a competition, but since i tend to run around painted pink with a pink bikini top on with a couple of other girls and guys, we tend to get quite a bit of attention and lots of inquiries about "Hey can we take a picture with you?" I've gotten buttons and business cards and all the like, but i'd have to say that the most effective way to "pick up" a girl (if thats what you're interested in) is to just walk up to her and introduce yourself and start talking. Or you could just randomly join in a game of limbo or twister (the latter can work pretty well to break the ice) to meet new people. Just dont be afraid to say hi, and dont worry about acting stupid or dorky in front of a girl. Chances are, she'll probably think you're cute because of it. Actually, wear a "Free Hugs" sign, and you'll be surprised at how many hugs you get.

yep... romantic stuff happens at regionals, and i dont think that has anything to do with lack or acquisition of "girl knowledge". i actually know of a couple of people (myself included) who have met their significant others through robotics somehow. Being at a Regional gives you plenty to talk about with a girl who's there (since often times i hear that boys never know what to say when they're with a girl)... the only downside is that if you meet someone from another team, theres a pretty likely chance that they live pretty far away from you... whether its across the state or across the nation. Just keep that in mind

[irishninja]

By lack of girl knowledge i was refering to my shyness and unability to force myself to talk to girls.

[Dan Petrovic]

I'm not a girl, nor was I hit on by some guy, but a girl on my team last year was hit on at the Buckeye Regional

Guy: Hey do you like my truck? (it was a little powerwheels truck a team used to cart their robot to the field)
Girl: That's yours?
Guy: Yeah, it gets good gas mileage... just kidding we charge it
Girl: Okay...
Guy: So... you doing anything later tonight?
Girl: Yeah.. right!

And she walked off.

On top of that, she was a senior and he looked to be way younger than that.

[Zoheb N]

well im a guy but here is one of the lames lines i have heard a guy say....

"so how was your build season?"

[Cody Carey]

I'm sorry in advance, please don't be to harsh with my rep box ...


"Hey, Are you tired of running? 'Cuz I like your cans."

[irishninja]

What do cans have to do with running?

[MattD1Drift]

Dunno, but I didn't meet anyone this weekend, I hope I will in Maryland.
