Hey girl, are you Google? Because you have everything I’m looking for.
A sure-fire winner of a chat up line, right?
Well, it’s not on the list below anyway.
Analysts at dating app Hinge have researched a number one-liners that supposedly really work when attempting to woo other human beings.
They created loads of different lines and discovered that higher engagement messages like “two truths and a lie; ready, set, go” were more likely to get a reply than shorter attempts at friendly foreplay.
Just saying words like “hey” or “hi” were not as successful… no matter how high you can arch those eyebrows.
The test took place among US users of the app and, in terms of gender, Hinge reported that men were more 98% likely to respond to a confident, assertive message, while women were 40% more likely to answer messages about food.
The top-rated opening lines by gender were as follows:
Men
PLEASE KISS MY FACE
Free this week?
Drinks soon?
Women
Chocolate, red velvet or funfetti?
Best discovery: Netflix or avocados?
We’ve one question at this point; what the f*ck is ‘funfetti’?
Other top opening lines:
What movie scared you the most when you were little?
What was the first CD you ever bought yourself?
Who’s your go-to Mario Kart character?
What 90s song would you use as the title of your autobiography?
Please confirm you’re not one of those people who claps when the plane lands
Choose one: Adult treehouse or the ability to talk to animals?
How was your 2004?
Choose a dream job: puppy photographer or pizza critic?
