Do woman use pick up lines? If so how?

I think women are more prone to use “the look.”

Yep. I’ve seen it around the office. We had a female divorcee who was on the hunt all the time. She would talk to a coworker for a while and then ask, “Some day, after work can you help me, for just a minute, hang a curtain rod?” No Y chromosome holder can refuse that – right guys? Then she’d offer to take them out as a thank you. Most refused: “Hey, It was my pleasure.” But some were stupid enough to agree. About 2 weeks after the thank you dinner she’d ask them “Well? When is it your turn? ” Then the harassment would start. I know because 3 of my male employees complained to me. How bad does it have to be before a man complains to his supervisor?!? None of the guys knew the others were in the same situation.
So ladies: There’s your irresistible pick up line.
Of course, “Gee, It’s so hot in here, do you mind if we go outside so I can take off my top?” works too.

As with all things, some women do and some women don’t. In my experience I have yet to meet a woman who uses pickup lines though. It’s just not really our kind of thing. We prefer to talk honestly and learn who you are versus use some canned line that has no significance or relevance to the situation at hand.

@Lupin – That’s sexual harassment, which should have been reported to HR. Completely inappropriate at work no matter who it’s from.

@Lupin, that’s awful!

You got it. It was reported. That’s how we know there were others. She was in her early 40’s. The men were also mid to late 40’s. Old enough to truly think they were just helping a coworker. We do that in these parts. “Hey, On your way home tonight can you help me move a work bench?” “Sorry. Can’t tonight. Got to take the kid to his grandmother. But tomorrow I’ll stop over.” Done! She weaseled into that system. She’s gone now.
Oh, I forgot the best part. She would say to the guy: “Please don’t mention that you’re coming to my house alone. I don’t want anyone getting the wrong idea bout us.”

Yikes! Run, Toto, Run!!! and I’m 52, and headed for singlehood very shortly. That would not even be on my radar to do. I’ve always been able to strike up a conversation with a man when I’m out just by making eye contact, and looking relatively friendly and approachable.

The above situation is an aberration. Depending upon the setting, eye contact and a smile is enough.

women tend to be more passive and subtle from my experience, which is why most guys myself included tend to not pick up on the pick-ups

Most women do not. I wish most men wouldn’t.

Welcome to the collective, tara3845.

Women are smart enough not to use pick-up lines. Most women at least.

I’m sure some do. I never used any “lines”, but I flirted in certain ways to let the person know I was interested..

we dont need lines, we give the look. (:
