16 Cringiest Pick Up Lines We’ve Heard From Singaporean Guys On Dating Apps

Cheesy Pick Up Lines

Let’s be honest—pick up lines are the worst. I dislike them, my girlfriends hate them, and yet boys still slide endlessly into our DMs using pick up lines.

While some of them earn a chuckle or two, most are either overtly inappropriate or straight up cringe-worthy.

We asked Singaporean girls about the cheesiest pick up lines they’ve gotten, and their responses are enough to put a bowl of mac and cheese to shame. But we’ll let you be the judge and decide if they’re creepy or creative.

1. The Patriotic But Sexist

“It’s 2024, dude. I belong to myself.”
Jia Ying, 25

2. The Classic Singaporean

“As if I need another reason not to stay in Yishun.”
Ashley, 25

3. The Opening Of 50 Shades

“The writer in me wanted to edit his work and send it back to him. But A+ for effort though.”
Lauren, 26

4. The Straightforward

 

“Dirty but impressive. We even started sexting after.”
Jackie, 21

5. The Channel 8 Drama

“Them ~ feels ~.”
Jie Ying, 22

6. The Self-Deprecation

Erm, what are the chances of this conversation even going anywhere?”
June, 22

7. The Unfortunate Mistake

“If my dad’s real name isn’t John Walker, this pick-up line would have worked.”
Kim, 21

8. The Lame And Unoriginal

“I felt my eyes roll into the back of my skull.”

13. The Borderline Abusive

14. The Punny Ones

Lei Shan, 23

15. The Nonsensical

16. The Hugh Hefner Wannabe

“Why did I think Bugs Bunny when I read this? Childhood RUINED.”
Lilian, 21

Starting A Conversation

Although pick up lines may seem like a great way to break the ice, it can come across creepy if used inappropriately.

But that’s not to say ALL pick up lines have a zero percent success rate. As long as you’re not sexist about it, there’s a good chance she’ll message you back.
