Best Lines or the Corniest

Well you don't actually give them a chance to answer your first question. The first bit is just for having an excuse to talk to them.
The second two lines include 2 embedded commands.

I fluffed up the wording *slightly*:
'Hi, can I ask you a question? Do you ever get the feeling that going to bars and clubs is ultimately pointless? What I mean is, More and more I can't help get the feeling that what we want is always just before our eyes... How about you?'

In bold to be spoken with emphasis.

Ahh, good point. Then again, I think women are becoming more savvy to the jedi mind trick school of picking up (presumably as it's been tried, probably successfully at first, on them so many times, they now spot it a mile off).

Spot them a mile off? I don't know about that, they're usually so subtle. I mean, what about the ultra intelligent, 'If I could rearrange the alphabet, I'd put U and I together.' Or the well thought out, 'Do you have any raisins? No? How about a date?' Or my personal favourite, 'If you were a booger I'd pick you first.' Be still my beating heart.

Oh come on now, be fair! Cliff's approach is a little more subtle than those!

That said I still find that just walking up to a girl, saying hello and asking if you can buy her a drink is the best way to go. There's no pretense, no "fake" humour, just flat-out honesty. If she likes you back, she'll take the drink, even if she's already got a dozen in front of her, as it's an excuse to talk to you. If she doesn't, then a "witty" line isn't going to change that.

To be fair you've either scored or crashed and burned long before you even open your mouth. Apparenty most women assess you walking towards them. The way you walk shows your confidence or lack thereof, if you're smiling it'll mean (in theory) that you'll be fun and hopefully funNY too, and the way you dress will accentuate your best features and also give a clue as to the lifestyle you lead, the job you do, how much money you make etc. Clothes can also demonstrate confidence too and confidence is the single most attractive trait anyone can have. All this will either impress enough to get you a window of opportunity, or not.

Once you've got the window then being natural is the best approach.

Finally, people are beginning to get the message. However, the confidence thing isn't always true - remember some girls like the shy thing too. Too much confidence can come accross as arrogance. That is definatly a no go.

I completely concur with that! Personally I fall much easier for a shy girl than for someone that looks extremely confident. Shy girls that aren't really aware of their pretty-ness are extremely sexy to me :icon_redf

pick up lines are sleazy and yucky half the time. I prefer sweet. or none at all.

Hi, How are you. Get the Fuck out of my way.

Need I remind you that what you are doing is a violation of the ADA?

Cripple coming through.

A guy walks into a bar, what does he say?--Ouch.

ADA is a programming language based on Pascal.

OK, now it makes sense. It still isn't as funny as say, "Hey, that's funny, but you know what's funnier......your face" for example.
