Blunt, loud and completely without subtlety — these are openers that skip the charm and go straight for the reaction. This is our list of ghetto pick up lines, ranked by reader votes. They are best understood as jokes rather than genuine strategy, and they work with people who will laugh at the sheer nerve of them rather than take offence. Expect a lot of confidence and very little finesse. Read the room properly before using any of these — the same line that gets a laugh among friends can land very differently with a stranger.
