Engineers are precise, practical, and generally too busy to be charmed by vagueness, which is why these lean on actual technical vocabulary. This is our list of engineer pick up lines, ranked by reader votes, spanning mechanical, civil, electrical and software. Expect load bearing jokes, talk of tolerances and specifications, and a fair few about building something together. They work on engineering students, in the office, and on anyone who has ever corrected you about the difference between a bolt and a screw. The best ones sound like a genuine technical question until the final word gives the game away.
