Why Do Only Some Cheesy Pick Up Lines Sometimes Work?

There is always a fine line to what is funny, and what is a badly-concealed attempt at a pick up line. The reason that some cheesy pick up lines work is that the people using them know that if they make it extremely obvious it is a pick up line, the whole thing becomes a satire of self. A woman deserves better than a pick up line, but can also identify when a guy is using the pick up line as a joke about themselves and other guys who tried and failed to use it. When a guy is using a pick up line as a satire it denotes a sense of playfulness and humour that girls appreciate. This is where the fine line between confindence and cockyness comes into play as the same actions can be interpreted differently depending on the woman. You have to judge for yourself if it will be greeted with laughter or disdain. Sometimes there's just not telling - but it's always worth trying.
