Frankly, some of the pick-up lines suggested here are a bit insulting to the fair ***. Besides it will just turn them off. Be your natural self. Pick-up lines suggest some non-spontaneous 'scheming'. I never needed any pick-up lines in my younger days. I still don't use them. Somehow it worked and it still does.
I don't think so because there are jokes and there are jokes. It is the different shades of meaning we want to spin that separate what is in good taste and what is out of place. One good test-would you like your wife or sister to view this thread?
You forget that girls also have a sense of humor, and are quite tolerant to these sort of allusions. Girls nowadays aren't the uptight lots from yesterdays. Some close girls friends I know also talk dirty among themselves Here's a friendly pick-up line (works well in Canada) "My name is [insert here]. But people call me the Black Knight."
it's not like your wife or sister wont find this funny. i know a few girls that can tell dirtier jokes than most guys, lol.
It's just meant to be a joke. It's funny in some sense, but if anyone really uses these lines...I'll be laughing at all of you ^^ Yeah, it's pretty insulting, that's why these are not directed towards anyone. Anyone who does direct it towards a girl defines the word idiot. We're badminton players. Badminton is our life. We should make a few bad jokes about it every now and then.
wow, you obviously don't have a sense of humor. these "pickup lines" are funny and any girl that plays badminton would laugh.
Or at least some. I just showed this thread to my girlfriend and she laughed. Well, let's put this place back on topic. "I'll drive my serve to your back court."
after meeting random person at club... AND MISSING!!!(obvious mistake) I really did NOT want to hit you!!!
Something about mixed double could be fun. Something like: Wanna do a mixed double? or No men's double for me, I'm more into mixed doubles.
I agree with Taneepak. I don’t find the pickup lines to be of particularly good taste and they’re pretty weak. If anything, they tend to (re-)inforce the notion that badminton players are geeks (i.e. weak with the ladies). Typically only pre-pubescent teens and ESL (English as a Second Language) individuals find humour in such primitive plays-on-words. What’s next—shall we see who can come up with pickup lines for the nickname of a man named Richard? Which is not to say you shouldn’t find humour in the lines. Culture is becoming more liberal and what was once a gentleman’s sport may be better suited toward becoming a geek’s sport. Ultimately it may boil down to your taste in girls—some may prefer girls with a touch of class. (Opponent’s tight drop shot) Drop me to my knees, like you always do. (Losing to an opponent) Tumble my mind, slice my body, just don’t smash my heart. (Approaching a potential partner) Be with me, and I guarantee we’ll have a smashing time. (Discussing tactics with partner) If I courted you, would you join me at the cross?
Here's one.. ..courtesy of ViningWolff: http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=37610 (post#10) : "Want to see my boomstick?"
so because a woman has a sense of humour and doesn't take herself as serious as you, she has no class?? it seems like you're the one that has no class...
"Can I have a picture? ......So I can show Santa EXACTLY what I want for Christmas." Go up to a girl with your brand new AT900T ... "I just wanted to show this racket what true beauty is." "Should I break it to your friend that she's going home from the gym alone?" "That's a nice Gosen shirt, can I talk you out of it?" /T
"Hey baby, I'm a badminton geek. Let's get it together and we have a lifetime together. I can explain to you the difference between different shaped racquet heads, the best type of strings to buy and the different ways to string the racquet. When you're looking to go to bed I'll come stomping home from the gym too tired to shower and crawl into bed with you embracing you with the sweet smell of my BO. When we go away on holiday I'll be messaging my friends on BC to see if there are any courts where I can go and play. You'll be able to amuse yourself won't you? Baby, I might need to buy a small garage to store my collection of antique racquets so we might have to survive on lentils and rice for a while. You're always talking about wanting to lose weight though. Baby, just think of the sweet life you'll have with a bdminton geek!"
quite funny But being a good badminton-player and being a geek is really contradictionary in terms Just Like a "geek basejumper" /Twobeer
this is a halarious thread... to those that don't get it... go buy some humour... "Let me help you there with the proper hand grip techniques..."
There is a huge difference between humour and obscenity. I think a number of the postings here cross that line.
If obscene can't be funny, then why is Homer Simpson such a big hit? Imagine a baddie-playing Homer saying to a girl: Oooh babe you're so hot you steam my birdie!
