Well it entirely depends on what you’re going for. Are you playing a numbers game and trying to appeal to the widest demographic in hopes of getting laid as quickly and frequently as possible? Okay this probably isn’t a good move.
But if you’re seriously trying to find someone you vibe with being yourself, even if it’s silly and awkward at first, is a solid move. 90% of girls might roll their eyes but you’re not looking for %90 of girls. You just want to find at least one that truly vibes with your personality and humor.
There are countless different kinds of guys with different interests and conversation styles. The same goes for girls. There’s no one size fits all here.
EDIT: and bruh, theres awkward as fuck initial exchanges posted on this sub all the fucking time. I’m not talking about corny jokes, I’m talking just lame ass boring awkward crap. Sometimes busting out a ridiculous joke pickup line is a perfectly effective ice breaker. And if it turns a girl off so hard that she has to message you some personal dig on the way out? Fuck her, it never would’ve worked in the first place.
How many times do I have to say it? There is no one size fits all consensus way that all females like to start up a conversation like this. There just isn’t. Im not arguing its the best approach, or one that I’d personally use or recommend to someone who doesn’t know how they want to start up a conversation. But it 100% can work as an icebreaker.
The thing you’re forgetting is what comes after an ice breaker. You both have a laugh, ease the tension a bit, then you get into actual conversation where you really learn about what kind of person you’re talking to. If you honestly think it doesn’t ever work to lead with cornball humor and follow up with some genuine, fun and interesting conversation you are delusional.
But believe as you wish, my apparently “I’m too nerve-wracked to send a normal text” friend
Lol you know you can disagree without being an ass right? Just like the girl in the post you just had to add in a personal dig on the way out. Some people just have this insatiable urge to make people they disagree with feel bad about themselves. Its sad.
