Photog pick up lines - 09-20-2007, 12:00 PM


OK, since I am recently separated and about to become divorced I'd like to hear some good photography pick up lines that a guy can use to meet a girl.

Yes, I'm serious.

After being out of the dating game for over 16 years I'm kind of at a loss.

There are no sure fire pick up lines. Just try sincerity, ........even if you have to fake it. Seriously you could probably find someone at a camera club or DPPA or maybe even on this forum.

How about:

"Want to see my portfolio?"
"Can I shoot you?"
"I bet you would look awesome under my light and without clothes"
and
"Hi, I'm a Playboy talent scout...."

I don't know any good lines, but I do know you don't want to talk about how long your cable release is or the size of you apeture.

I prefer the direct approach.

Hi, I'm a photographer and I want you to spend the weekend at my nude photo studio.

You have a 10% chance of success, but hey, statistically all you have to do is talk to 10 women.....

Jeffrey,

seriously...dont use any pick up lines. Just be yourself. Dont talk about the ex....no one likes to hear about anyone ex whether man or woman.

Don has made a great suggestion, try and find someone that might be receptive to a photographer because they're a photographer too. That is something in common that you can start building on.

Good Luck to you!

You must be Jamaican, because Jamaican me crazy.

Do you have a band-Aid? Cos I just scraped my knee falling for you.

Got two nipples for a dime?

Hey baby, you must be a light switch, coz every time I see you, you turn me on!

Did you clean your pants with Windex? I can practically see myself in them.

Do you work for UPS? I could have sworn I saw you checking out my package.

Baby, you must be a broom, cause you just swept me off my feet.

I hope you know CPR, cuz you take my breath away!

Ya know, you look really hot! You must be real reason for global warming.

Can I borrow a quarter? ["What for?"] I want to call my mom and tell her I just met the girl of my dreams.

Did it hurt? Woman: Did what hurt? When you fell out of heaven?

If I could rearrange the alphabet, I'd put U and I together.

Your daddy must have been a baker, 'cause you've got a nice set of buns.

Excuse me, do you have any raisins? How about a date?

Can I take your picture? (Why?) Because I want Santa to know exactly what I want for Chirstmas.

Screw me if I am wrong, but haven't we met before?

Girl, you gotta be tired coz you been runnin through my mind all day.

There's just one thing your eyes haven't told me yet....you're name.

Women are smart... they see right through pickup lines and insincerity. The best advice I ever saw came from a woman on another photo forum... and it reflects what I love the most about women. They are special in more ways than our little pea brains realize sometimes...

Quote:
Let me tell you men something... I adore the male form. I don't care if he is 18 or 60+. I don't care if he is balding (most women do not care... it's the men who worry). I don't care if he has scars. I don't mind a few (not many please) extra pounds. I don't need for him to be Johnny Depp or Tyrese or DMX or George Clooney. I want him to be real. I want him to be confident. I want him to be okay with who he is... happy even. I don't care about his height, stature, religion, race, nationality, etc. (by the way... we need more African American men to post pics, PLEASE). If a man takes care of himself and exudes maleness- yeah, that does it. So, stop being sissies (for those of you who are too embarrassed or stubborn to post a pic of yourself) and show us. We put ourselves out there- now you do the same. Who cares if no one comments... I can guarantee that your photo will be appreciated Now, men.... get out there and take/have some taken for us You'll feel better after you do. Oh! And by the way... I don't care if men are in their birthday suits or fully clothed in their 3 piece suits- either way, you guys are simply amazing! Whether 'myspacey' or professional, smiling or lookin' tough, share...
