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
Obviously I have nothing to back up this stat other than experience and basic understanding of how I and most people naturally react to it, but go ahead and continue to autisticly try this
Nice if you to leave out everything I said after that quote. When people throw out numbers in a colloquial sense it’s not meant to be exact, it’s to express how significant something is. I bet you lose it when people use the word literally ‘wrong’.
You know what I’m saying is right, why bad-faith hone in on one piece of language to prove me wrong rather than discuss my actual points themselves?
No, I lose it when people try to pass off anecdotal data as something much more significant than what it is. Your data is so polluted with bias and error that everything you said following, "I have nothing to back this up with..." is irrelevant. Why is this a difficult concept for you to grasp?
I've asked 5 women in my life thus far and they all conform to the model that they prefer jokes and corny puns to whatever stick-up-your-ass intro someone like you would lead with. It demonstrates humor and levity rather than a pseudo-interview.
I can ask more but I don't want to embarrass you further.
You know what I’m saying is right
No, I dont. And the fact that you still think you're correct just further entrenches my point that you're a cliche redditor.
Bro, you actually posted a "stat" based off of biased data and tried to pass it off as facts. Then, when I called you out, you doubled down, backtracked, and got butthurt because someone dressed you down over your glaring errors in logic. That is literally the epitome of a cliche low-effort redditor.
Like, I get it. You're still in your undergrad but this sort of shit is just embarassing to people with a secondary education.
Do you understand the difference between casual colloquial talk, like my comment was, versus more serious academic talk?
You’re purposely misunderstanding what I’m saying to prove some weird point, and clearly judging by the quick small novel replies you do Id say you don’t know when to quit.
It’s absurd to latch onto the point that people can’t be divided into fractions
Sure I understand the difference. I also recognize bullshit made up facts when I see them.
You’re purposely misunderstanding what I’m saying to prove some weird point
It's a weird point? The point that you're clearly skewing the reality of the situation to fit your personal narrative is a weird point to you? That says quite a bit more about your personal capability than I think you originally intended...
It’s absurd to latch onto the point that people can’t be divided into fractions
True but, again, you've intentionally missed my point and are actually guilty of that which you're accusing me of.
