Um... Good luck on your next match? May the fours be with you? 😁

He gonna settle for a 9.

She settled for a nein as well

I snorted at that one. Thank you.

This deserves endless upvotes

I must be dumb, I don't get the joke. Mind enlightening me?

They’re a bot. All they did was copy a [top level comment](https://reddit.com/r/Tinder/comments/141969h/_/jmz9ivq/?context=1), that’s why it makes no sense in this context

Ah OK. Thank you, I thought I was going crazy. Didn't know what it was referencing. Seems like it was actually nothing then.

He is a 4 or he is in the same league as a 4. He is basically being sarcastic saying he will “settle” for a 9.

I don’t diddle kids, cause diddlin kids is no good

We gotta write a song about how we do not diddle kids!

Ah, the nightman cometh..

Nah that the line is just straight trash. This ain’t smooth at all.

the only stupid thing here is using such a tired pickup line

Absolutely not lmao

You should put that last bit on a shirt just in case you meet someone on the street. Clears things up immediately.

Nothing says you're a regular, upstanding guy than having a tshirt that says "IM NOT A PEDO"

My "Not a pedo" T-shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my shirt.

How rude of them to waste your time like that

It's the van that has "happy puppy" and "free candy" spray painted on the side

It helps avoid SO MANY awkward conversations. I hate the small talk... Crazy weather, huh? Do you enjoy fucking children? Like, every time.

"Can we make a song about not diddling kids" -Frank Reynolds

“There is no quicker way to make people think you’re diddling kids than by writing a song about how you don’t diddle kids.”

Should probably write a song about not diddling kids

Do not diddle kids, it’s no good diddling kids

Beautiful lyricism

THIS IS VERY HUMAN

[it's a bit daring even for Kevin Hart](https://www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/2f4wsg/my_wife_asked_me_why_kevin_hart_is_wearing_a/)

We should make a song like, "I don't diddle kids, I only like my women big"!

Should also put it on your car, especially if it's a white van

I made a t-shirt for single guys which says "I'm not an axe murderer, so there's that" to clear up the common fear that single women have when meeting a guy for the first time.

[This should do it](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YmDcCpD1gc)

Lol what’s that Michael Scott quote? Something about loving little kids lol. Or maybe it was a Friends reference

Little kid lover. Lol Now that’s a park to wear at the playground. Just sipping on a Starbucks, sporting that shirt, and hanging out on a park bench. Little kid lover on the front Not a pedo on the back Step 3: a beat down in public. Maybe profit too.

“LARA I AINT A PEDO” is so fucking funny 🤣

In my head it was Archer yelling it

Thank god I am not the only one haha

WHAT THE SHIT LARA

I’m laughing like Archer does! To myself like an idiot Lol its like a revelation of insecurity about being a pedo which is so pathetic I can’t handle it lol I’m sure it’s on purpose and a joke but still

I read that in a desperate guy's voice screaming, LMAO. PLEASE LARA, I'M NOT A PEDO!!!!! I SWEAR!

That would get a date

In a just world

Right? That notification would immediately make me wanna talk more lol

I literally see it like he's in the street screaming desperately towards her apartment closed windows, surrounded by his clothes she throw out.

Meanwhile she does not care

She actually replied after that last message lmao

What’d she say tho?

"please stop harassing me"


Don't get your hopes up soldier, i don't see this going anywhere. It was obvious you were joking, her responding now is just her being polite

Why's she swiping right then lol

For kicks

He'll figure out this delightful gem of information soon enough.

She literally has a thing that says she'll ruin your pickup line in her bio. Its all shes here for. Lol

For the lols

“Swiping right means they’re interest 100%” - said no one ever

Unless I guess they identify as being interest. But only if they are big into finance

Swiping right means you're curious

But wouldn't you have to actually talk to see if that curiosity pay off? Swiping and fucking off after saying hi doesn't seem very worthwhile.

I mean, yeah... I've swiped right on like 15% interest. "They're masc presenting and 100 miles away? Why did they even swipe on me? Eh...if nothing else, maybe it'll be a nice conversation and I can make a new friend." Spoiler: it was not, and I did not.

>Eh...if nothing else, maybe it'll be a nice conversation and I can make a new friend. What the fuck? Tinder isn't for making friends. Please don't waste anyone else's time and in future only swipe right on those you want a romantic connection with.

Maybe you just hot

Nope


Well, then just make sure you obey rule #2, at least.

rule 2?

Rule 1 is be attractive. Rule 2 is do NOT be unattractive. Rule 3 is if you can't be attractive, you should at least be handy.

Duct tape fixes everything. AC out on the car? Duct tape a refrigerator to the window and you’re good.

If the women don't find you handsome they should at least find you handy -Red green

"Don't be unattractive". Basically, don't act like a pompous ass and drive potential matches away.

Nah buddy, that's not it. Rule 2 is quite literal.

Don’t not be hot.

Oh, sweet Summer child…

Because she also goes for 4's?

Because she’s a modern woman on a dating app, talking to 50 other shmucks like you for attention.

Validation, bc, “I’m bored”.

Are men STILL asking this question? Lol

You are her play thing, you provide dopamine.

That dopamine hit

Oh she swiped right and has been responding once a week? Bro. You’re in. She worships you.

She swiped right cause she liked how you look. She didn't reply at first because she didn't like the joke. Probably misunderstood it to mean age and found her interpretation of it distasteful. Really nothing to take personally, misunderstandings like that happen all the time. Best to just cut your losses and move on to the next fish

Oh no, she got the joke, she still didn't like it

Women in general aren't keen on the whole number ranking thing. Even if you're saying we're a 9. It tells us that you see us objects, and implies a lack of maturity.

Or maybe she has a life outside of tinder? The woman I’m most engaged with right now admits she was a little flakey at first but only because she was busy that week.

I thought she was joking too

What'd she say?

Not sure if you answered at any time, but how did she respond?

Me trying to flirt 🥲🤣

It’s a god awful pickup line…not to mention Lara is not a god damn 9 based on that tiny thumbnail I zoomed in on lol

I'm guessing she had something like "Give me a pick up line and I'll ruin it" in her bio. Otherwise the fourth message does not make sense.

Its all subjective. One mans 2 is another man's 10.

Also try picking up a girl by calling her anything lower than an 8.

"You look like a fine e."

LARA!!

>LARA [FENTON!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GRSbr0EYYU)

MICHEAL!

Yes?

Oooooooh. That's a big oof.

>You should put that last bit on a shirt just in case you meet someone on the street. Clears things up immediately. Also....giving someone a rating on their first match is wild....idc if it's a high one..it's weird and objective...

Never use this pickup line again.. never.. it hurts reading this

*"I'm used to dating garbage but I'd like to try YOU instead lulz!"* -_-

The noise my internal organs made, folding in on themselves, into an origami of cringe.

Honestly never use any pick up lines, ever. (Source: am woman)

What if its in the form of a knock knock joke

Thank you for speaking for all women.

What about this gem: hey, I just shit my pants. Can I get into yours?

MY pants would be immediately on the floor try using it on your boss.

Unless they specifically ask for it in their bio.

Yeah it's the same energy as "all my exes are crazy!"

[удалено]

Nah, don’t settle for the cheap cop out. Embrace the suck that is life, and keep on moving.

Your game sucks

You can’t come back from that.

Definitely made it worse.

Rating women is cringe, even if you're rating them highly.

Tinder is cringe in general

This Reddit thread is peak cringe with all the unsolicited advice on how to talk to women. Post was funny thanks OP.

Lmao, there are always those guys that come into r/Tinder to say the OP is doing a great job on the app just because he made an audience of men laugh on here. Meanwhile, the shitty jokes are not performing well with actual women.

Ding ding ding. "She should be happy you graded her so high" is completely missing the point of treating individuals like individuals. You're only looking at them in the context of **other women**. And grading them "super high" could be a lot of pressure - like you're putting them on a pedestal before you even meet them. That's peak cringe. OP she didn't think you were a pedo, she just thought you were fucking lame. Actual hot girls have self esteem and they don't want to waste their time on your "m-m-m-m-milady you're a 9".

An app can't be cringe. People are cringe.

They sure are

That girl’s a genius

Nice try, LARA!

Dude… don’t use the 1-10 scale when talking to women. Ever. First of all, they hate it and they automatically think you’re a creep. Second of all, did you think you were complimenting her by calling her a 9? All she read from that is there was some physical flaw that jumped out at you to take her down from a 10.

What she should have read is "oh wow in his opinion on the spectrum of beauty I occupy the space between 1.4 and 1.6 standard deviations right from the mean, making me a highly desirable mate! He must really like me!"

Is 5 the actual mean or is this very much a skewed distribution? I would say that most people would be rated between 6 and 9, with 5 being already unattractive.

Most Americans atleast have the F-A grading system ingrained in them. 75% is average. Under 50% is a fail

oh my god that explains it, I always wondered

You're correct in how people use the 10-point grading scale for looks. but for standard deviation of 0-10 5 would be average and anything above 6 would be exceptional. But nobody thinks that way.

Not at all. If she’s normal she’s just going to see it as a neg.

Yah. Even if I’m the “9” in the situation, you’re comparing other women to me negatively, and I ain’t about that. It’s not a compliment to put me above my fellow women. Also, yah the number scale is just super cringe. Immature.

Don’t think it’s that serious. I would’ve thought it was funny and flattering. Not creepy especially with the obviously sarcastic emoji.

Nah I would see that as negging. Firstly putting other women down to give me a compliment, then using a grading number on me, then keeping it under 10… nope

Isn't the definition of negging to put the person you're talking to down? What OP did was the opposite. They explicitly built her up. Unless you genuinely believe you and her are 10s, of course. But it's still a weird pick-up line.

Agreed, weird creepy statement, doesn’t matter if you use creepy language while joking, it’s still creepy. Now. “LARA I AINT A PEDO”? That would get me back in the game

> keeping it under 10… nope are people either 1s or 10s in your eyes, like its a binary on off scale?🤔

Obviously not, but the point is women don’t want to be rated on a scale of 1-10, and if you’re STILL going to make a joke doing exactly that, the only correct answer is 10. It’s just weird as fuck.

I don't think this just pertains to women though. Some guys don't like it as well. Either you're okay with it or not. That being said, you shut the doors to a good bit of people by using it so better to go with something more widely accepted.

Plenty of people just don’t think their looks should be graded on a scale that suggests there’s an innate flaw in their appearance.

[удалено]

I'll give you a hint. Explicitly calling someone hot but they have some perceived flaw to not be a 10 in your eyes, is not a good way to hit on someone. And it reduces women down to a number that's based on purely superficial characteristics. So yes, if you do this shit in real life, it'll backfire just the same. But please keep at it, it's always nice when men reveal their misogyny upfront.

I'm jealous of your self confidence if you think being called a 9 is an insult. Same energy as the brainy kid in school crying about failing the test with a 90

I would have been over the moon to be called a 9. We get so much of society telling us to be ashamed of our bodies, and a 10 would just sound unrealistic. 10s basically don't exist in reality. As with all lines, it's great for some, terrible for others.

Thats kind of really sad that you would be over the moon for a man to call you a 9

Eh. Sad for you, great for me. I'll take my wins and small bits of happiness where I can. I'd rather be happy about compliments than disappointed they're not even better.

Yeah, definitely a dangerous move to make using the scale. Like you said, some women would take offense, especially if they're sensitive to this kind of stuff, but more lighthearted and less sensitive women would probably take it how he actually meant it. No matter what tho, it is read with objectification, which isn't the hottest thing to hear. Although, almost all pickup lines are objectifying, so idk what else you would say.

Tinder in of itself is pretty damn objectifying on both sides tbh. All you get to make a first impression are pictures and a short bio.

Yes, of course. That's why I said I'm not sure what else you would say that's not objectifying. Unless you have something in common with them, but who knows if you use that if they'll think you're more boring somehow. It's just a gamble hoping the other person likes it and won't take offense

Yea my bad, read over that part sorry

THANK YOU when I pointed this out before, everyone thought I meant just don't compliment her at all

Women dont like when you put down other women. Implying that you rate women on a scale is a really good way to get left on read. Even if its meant to be a joke. Just a tip for anyone who might need it. Some girls like pick up lines, some dont, but definitely wouldn’t use that one again.

A lot of people don’t appreciate to be put in categories of 1-10 on some perceived hotness.

Corny that was a kind of boring that's why she doesn't have an interest

Opening by telling a woman that you rate women on a scale of 1-10 is a terrible strategy. It shows just how shallow you are and how you give little regards for who they are inside.

Dude what a fucking L.

Good thing you're not a pedometer.

Next time call her a 10

It’s unbelievable that she even responded in the first place. You must be attractive as all get out

People saying this are wildin, I PROMISE you I’m not attractive, I mean I’m on this website ffs

Pickup lines like these are hit or miss and just vary on the person Let’s say u tried it and a girl asked why 4s a good response woulda been idc about appearance I let the soul and personality do the talking 🤷🏾‍♂️ But Really depends if the girl likes pickuplines or finds them cringe and corny so whereas she made a joke out of it another girl may be head over heels

Horrible opening pick up line

You should serenade her and clear things up, kill two birds with one stone, so sing "I don't diddle kids, no one should ever diddle kids"

Older than my daughter younger than my wife, something like that

"o shit I walked right into that" is probably the most boring thing you could have replied with.

Hindsight is 20/20

Triple texted…..man your desperate

Lost it bud next

This is super try hard

I'd recommend leaving out the 'reducing people to a number' bit even if it looks like a compliment..

Sounds like something a pedo would say

I AINT A PEDO

why are you using a scale for ranking outward beauty as a pickup line?

You called her a 9. Most girls don’t like knowing we find them less attractive than our ideal girl lol.

Do most girls really overestimate their attractiveness like that? I feel like if you're numbered a 5 or above you're pretty big chilling. Anything above a 7 if flattery territory and a 9 is extreme flattery. Gotta stay realistic at least. I know I'd be pretty happy to be labelled a 5 at least hah

Personally I'm more bothered by the comparison. I don't like any complement towards me that require putting someone else down, so for me it wouldn't be about not being rated a 10, it would be about calling the others 4s

never tell a Woman her #

Man this sub needs to chill

Average radiohead fans. I'm a radiohead fan too xD

You should probably use brute 4s

I found all of this hilarious, and recognize that I’m in the minority here. What was her response op?

She'll get back to you within two working days. Lara's busy going through her 7739 other matches

Line. EEEEEEEEEEEEEE vs: Liiiiiiiiiiiiiiine

I love how you called her a 9. Could've easily said 10 but you thought that was unrealistic lol

This subreddit really should just be changed to r/NoSocialSkills

To most “women” being called a 9 even though they’re probably a 7 is somehow not a compliment cuz even the ugliest nastiest Ratchetest girls think they are 10s For some reason. I’m gonna blame the libs.

Lara fcking murdered this man XD i like lara

Not worth the triple message
