Online pick-up artists

February 13, 2009

Sure, plenty of people use the Internet for online dating, but what about advice for meeting people offline? In the spirit of Valentine’s Day tomorrow, I decided to take a look at the search activity around pick-up lines. A sense of humor seems to be one of the most popular trends for aspiring pick-up artists with cheesy, funny, and corny appearing the top 10 descriptive words to precede the search queries for pick-up lines. Both men and women are getting into the game (not to be confused with the book The Game: Penetrating the Secret Society of Pickup Artists by Neil Strauss although the topic is certainly related) with plenty of requests for pick-up lines to use on both guys and girls). Pick-up lines for nerds and computer nerds also made several appearances on the list.

In case you are in need of some pick-up lines, the top websites to receive traffic from the search query for the 4 weeks ending Feb. 7, 2009 is pickuphelp.com and Humor Sphere.
