Charisma Coach Reacts To Ridiculous Pick Up Lines
Charlie Houpert and others break down terrible pickup lines and what they reveal about social skills and dating. They discuss why most lines fail and what actually works in conversation.
All right, welcome. We are ready to do another react to some pickup lines. We did this last time. They were the cringiest. Now I have a file that says best, worst, craziest. So I don't know what's in there, but here we go. Are you Pikachu? Pikachu. Cause you are shockingly beautiful. That was so good. Up until the end. That was so good. Because you are shocking beautiful. That was so good. I actually think that one's good.
Yeah, that is good.
Especially if you're going to some sort of a video game thing because she was dressed up in cosplay. I think that's excellent.
That's hilarious.
Just don't bail on the final two seconds of it.
Number one rule.
Commit.
Commit.
Whoa. Whoa.
Was that an earthquake or did you.
Just rock my world?
Can I get your number?
Oh, heck yeah.
What?
Come on.
College campus. Yeah, that's the benefit of a college campus.
That's also just a load of uncomfortableness that that person does not text back. The direct to number thing is so weird to me.
Was that an earthquake or did you.
Just rock my world?
Can I get your number?
Heck yeah. He's already going for his phone because he's got nothing else to say other than that one. So this is actually a teachable moment.
The number is just a symptom of a good conversation instead of like something you're hunting down.
For sure. No, that's a good. That's a good piece of advice. Which is don't ask for someone's number. Ask if they would like to do something with you. Right. Would you like to get coffee? Would you like to go dancing sometime? Would you like to do xyz? Awesome. If they say yes. Great. Give me your number. I'll let you know when's a good time. And the number becomes not the main goal, but just the facilitating thing to seeing someone again. So teachable moments. Yeah.
Do you know where it's like always on the same color of the clothes, but like. What's your number?
I don't know.
I just always thought you were like hotter than the balloons itself. So I just decided that I should probably get your digits. What's your name?
I'm Hailey.
I'm Cody. Nice to meet you.
I'm late for work.
Yeah. Yeah.
Well, a number only takes like a couple of every now and then. So.
Haley. Yep.
What's your number?
714-714-392.
Okay, well, I'll just see on the everything. So.
I give him credit for sticking with the bitch that's well done. That person is not gonna text back, but that's the last lover she of Haley. But still excellently executed.
Pigtail. Are those pigtails?
They're space buns.
Okay, whatever. I'm Jack. What's going on?
Zane. That's a cool name.
I like your shirt.
Yeah, it's a little bit tight. Can't afford a Mac hoodie, so she.
Likes them right away.
Here we are.
They're space buns.
Okay, whatever. I'm Jack. What's going on?
Nice to meet you.
That's a cool name.
I like your shirt.
Yeah, it's a little bit tight. Can't afford a mattress. Here we are, you know. Are you good with pets?
Great.
You shine brighter than any diamond I've ever seen.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Let's start a relationship. What's your name?
I'm Ellie.
Nice to meet you. Hi, my name's Cody.
Nice to meet you.
I'm just stuck in awe right now. It's taking everything of me not to just hold you and hug you right now.
I know.
So weird. I think you're feeling the same way, but we'll just.
I feel like if you. If you stuff those lines in a lot of other people's mouths, they would not execute. Do you know what I'm saying? Yeah.
Yeah, it was. It was one too many compliments.
I don't know. He seems in on.
That's fine. That's fine.
Yeah, he's in on it. You know what I mean? He laughs at himself. And he's not rushed. I think a lot of these have been really rushed. And he's a bit more comfortable with the space.
Very last of himself.
I actually don't know you.
Okay.
Oh. But I mean, I want to. Yeah. What's your name?
It's a great shirt.
Oh, you have a double name, man.
Yeah. This is worth saying. I feel like a lot of people's nervousness is portrayed in their eyes. You know, they got the darting eyes when they're speaking to someone that they've never spoken to before. And when you can have sunglasses and it just. Nobody can detect that and they can see that rock solid cool guy look. It helps. He's well dressed.
What do you think of my attire?
It's pretty good. Cool shirt.
Cool shirt.
Yeah.
Do I look like a. Or what?
Yeah, I mean, sure.
I'm gonna be honest. I don't have a pickup line, so.
Well, yeah, I can.
Yeah, take my number.
I'm actually. Wait for class.
I'm gonna keep going.
No, I gotta go. That Way too. But I mean, we'll fall in love one day. I'll grab it quick. Annray.
Okay, again, this is a. He's making a YouTube video. So I don't. I don't actually think he's trying to go on a date with this girl. But this is a symptom of. Of thinking that the number is the entire point of the interaction, which is she's. She's like, I'm a little bit uncomfortable. I'm gonna leave. He's like, no, no, no. Like, definitely, let's get numbers. She's like, I'll give you my number and never speak to you again. This isn't a problem at all. And so if you do find yourself in this kind of a circumstance where you have had the guts to go up and speak to someone and you're talking about, what are you up to today? The very basics of, like, what brings them to whatever place that they are currently at, you know, and as lame as it sounds, what year are you? Is totally fine in college. Like just getting to know you. Logistical questions. Then what do you like to do? And you can find if there's something that you know you like. I used to ask people if they like salsa dancing almost every time. The answer to salsa dancing was, I've never done it, but I really want to. Great. They have a lesson this Monday night at 7pm over here if you're interested. I sometimes go and I would love to go with you.
Okay, great.
Take my number. A lot easier that way.
I just want to tell you I would go lesbian for you. You're welcome. Can I take my number? You see her face?
She's touched.
Hell yeah.
Hell yeah.
I'm Lara, by the way.
Are you a magician?
Because abracadam. Oh, I know, right? I'm Lara.
Lara, yeah. Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you. Can I take you out sometime?
Yeah, can I take you out sometime?
Yeah, you can.
It's a totally different game when it's.
A pretty girl growing.
No, no, no, no.
Please.
Can I take you out a lot of these? And again, I don't think this is the point of why these people are uploading to YouTube, but these are people that will not text you back, will not see you again. So I think if you're watching it to laugh. Excellent. If you're watching it to learn what is likely to have you bump into someone that you think is attractive, speak to them, go on a date with them, maybe start dating them. There's something missing here. And the biggest. The biggest Thing is, mad kudos for the courage to go speak to someone in any sort of a circumstance. But don't rush for the numbers. Speak to someone, find out what they like. See if there's an event that you guys can go to together. And. And then once you're out of that weird first interaction, you can get to know each other in a little bit less of a pressure cooker environment. Yeah.
Not every phone number given means that they liked you. Sometimes it's just a way to get out of an uncomfortable situation.
Most of the time, I would say, at least from watching my senses, most of these are. Yeah, I'm not. I don't have to answer you now that you have it here. Not literally in my face.
Lesson learned for our editor.
Also, I think that there's something to say is that we've been talking about the closed circle of the college campus with which is if you're in any sort of scenario that is closed circle, people are gonna be friendlier and that closed circle can be a party that is hosted by a mutual friend. It can be a college campus as opposed to an open. I guess it's not an open circle, which is a city or a nightclub or something like that.
But in a city you can do that 100 times. In a college campus, if you do that 10 times, you might get a reputation for being a creep.
Yep. One little announcement that we have here. We are actually looking for someone to work with me in writing. Not these kind of videos, but the breakdowns that probably brought you to our chann in the first place. So if you're interested, this is an opportunity to work directly with me. This is going to be a full time position. So if you do wind up getting the job, the salary is going to be way better than a lot of other people who are working online for places like buzzfeed and that sort of stuff. Though we would begin on a per script basis just to make sure that you know what you're doing. So if you're interested, you want to work with me, you want to write for potentially hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people to see your stuff and if you have a really good grasp of social skills, charisma, all that kind of stuff, go ahead, click the link in the description. You can find out more about how to apply to write for us. That is going to be it for today. Hope that you guys enjoyed this video. I'll see you in the next one.
