| that's a fine "pickupline" maybe it would cause less confuson if we didn't say pickupline and changed it to something you say to people. |

I'm not a lady, but I'd strongly advise against using a "pick up line" to actually date someone. I think you should say something different to each person, preferably something that references the profile and things you may have in common. I wouldn't respond to some generic that you just say to everyone.
...unless it was, "Hey, sexy mama, wanna kill all humans?" 
I would TOTALLY go out with anyone who made that reference! |

Pick up lines are stupid just be a good guy, start a normal conversation, joke around, etc

I'm a lady and I agree with diniesaur; something more specific and personal is better. eg I noticed that you like/did/read/have X and (insert your comment about X). It's not a "pick up line" - you just need to get her attention and start a conversation. It's good to finish with a question ('did you like/read Y'?) as that invites her to respond to you.
Instead of saying you read her profile, show you read it. I ignore mass mail out type emails. |

Yes, questions! My parents told me to ask questions because people like to talk to themselves, and when I did, it worked! I think it also gives them something to respond to. Also, open-ended questions are better than yes/no questions because they invite paragraphs instead of one-word responses.
If you get into a conversation like that, it could also be a great opportunity to show your quirky thinking/intellegence/special interest knowledge; don't show it off, but when it's relevant you can utilize it to give her an intellegent response that will probably attract the kind of "lady" you're looking for! |

Put your sexiest profile pic and visit her profile without messaging her.
By just doing that, you have a higher change that she'll message you than replying to your initiative message. |

Question: Does the profile pic have to be of me? |

You could put your face on a really muscular body with photoshop

Of course you silly, unless you want to get slapped later or even banned from okc. |

That wouldn't work for me. I'd just think the guy looked at my profile, found something he didn't like and therefore decided against contacting me.
But I like intellectual men and respond more to words than looks. |

Post a decent picture and try not to say anything stupid. When I tried it, the less I had in my profile, the more I got messaged. Of course I have a tendency to ramble and rant, so that could be a factor  |

Get over the pickup line approach because its the sort of thing that you could be sending to several girls at the same time hoping one of them will reply and this is easy to notice.
Try to find something interesting on their profile and ask them about it/mention it on your message to her.
Believe it or not most of my messages have been replied and they were basically asking them something about their profile/similar. Trouble is in keeping the conversation going... |
