This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Geneseo chapter.

Last semester, I was forced to set up a Tinder account. The only good that came out of my mostly wasted time was laughing at all of the pick up lines I got from guys trying to act smooth. Since I received many good ones, I decided to list my 17 favorite messages guys have sent so far. Some of these messages were sent to my friend (the one who made me make the account), so I cannot take all the credit for these amazing lines.

 

  1. The sweet FWB pick up line

 

This guy could obviously appreciate beauty, but sadly he did not want anything serious. However, he did suggest having some fun on the side. Thanks, but no thanks!

 

2. The banker’s pick up line

 

 

This guy must be studying economics; however, he will not be earning any interest from these girls.

 

3. The man-tit pick up line

 

 

This guy thought sending a picture of a rather large man and asking for “one tit” would be a smart idea. He thought wrong.

 

4. The Thanksgiving pick up line

 

 

This guy was obviously still hungry after he stuffed himself full of turkey. His line deserved a response.

 

5. The shoe pick up line

 

 

This guy’s line was a would you rather question, but we all wondered why he would want to be near our feet.

 

6. The Hungry-Man pick up line

 

This guy was also hungry, but he kept us in mind by addressing a female’s emotional side.

 

7. The nice guy pick up line

 

This boy was obviously mature enough to be a real man. He knew that women are angels. He has not yet seen a woman scorned.

 

8. The poet’s pick up line

 

 

This guy must be a writer. No guy compares a girl’s hair to an ocean unless he has a way with words. Or he just googled lines to get in a woman’s pants.

 

9. The Black Friday pick up line

 

 

This guy must really love those black Friday sales. He is personally selling his clothes—and they are 100 percent off!

 

10. The straight-forward pick up line

 

 

This guy was decent enough to reveal his true intentions. After all, most guys only use Tinder to get laid.

 

11. The mysterious pick up line

 

 

Is he a spy? Is he married? Is he 11? I guess we will never know.

 

*****UPDATE: The guy was only looking for a hookup. That was the big secret.  

 

12. The cuddling pick up line

 

This boy is another man. He understood that all women want is someone to hold them.

 

13. The swimmer’s pick up line

 

 

This guy must love the water, because he completely ignored every detail of my account except for the beautiful pool in the background of one of my photos.

 

14. The friendly pick up line

 

 

It is always awkward to find your friend on Tinder, but this friend was rooting for a decent guy to slide into our DMs.

 

15. The insecure pick up line

 

 

This guy has the audacity to want to waste our time. He’s also clearly insecure since he thinks he would be “wasting” our time. Believe in yourself, dude!

 

16. The judging pick up line

 

 

This guy must think he is a great judge of character if thinks he knows how women work.

 

17. The asshole’s pick up line

 

This guy knows his way to a girl’s heart. First, he criticizes her face, then her body. He is the winner of the worst Tinder pick up line I have ever seen.

 

I’m thinking maybe I should just take a break from Tinder…
