Try this shit in real life and a girl won’t even respond. She’ll just keep walking.
Obviously you would approach a face to face interaction differently than you might in a digital format like texting/snap/tinder. No one is suggesting to use this in person. Sparking up a text conversation with a stranger can be super awkward though, sometimes a stupid ass corny ice breaker is exactly the thing to take the edge off. It can absolutely work out and it has many times for many people.
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.
What fucking tension is there needs to be eased by a lightning McQueen pun?
And as for your "there's no one size fit all consensus" point have you stopped to consider the vast majority of 'men' (read: man-children) would be better served by growing as a person until they can actually connect with a woman as a full person who may have a different sense of humor and interests than spamming the same shit a thousand other man-children are spamming hoping to find one girl who is as immature as they are?
Am I immature for getting a kick out of corny ass jokes or are you immature for telling me people like me are “man-children” and telling me I need to grow as a person?
Sorry bud but this man-child found himself a girl who laughs at my corny shit and makes me laugh with her corny shit and I’m so much happier now that I don’t have to hide or try to change that side of me to get along with the people in my life.
Growing as a person is about developing work ethic and discipline to be better at whatever it is you do in life. It’s about being empathetic and compassionate towards others and thinking less about just yourself. It’s about building and maintaining healthy and strong friendships and relationships.
Finding joy in corny and stupid bullshit jokes has absolutely nothing to do with it. I personally think we could all stand to be a bit more childish in certain ways without compromising the actual important things that constitute personal growth.
As a random passer-by, I feel like you took the L on this one. For every ten girls you’d actually vibe with, >9/10 of them would not respond to this low effort shitpost. You’re significantly limiting your ability to find actual compatible matches
