This guy is actually a cupid match maker. As soon as he talks to any girl they all miraculously have boyfriends all of a sudden, danm that's impressive.
Saying you have a boyfriend is literally the only one that works. They obviously don’t just accept “no”, they think you’re lying if you say you’re gay, and even saying “I’m a minor” doesn’t work on most of them.
@@herculesbrofister265 it was a joke man. I know that alot of pickup artists incorporate push-pull, where they tease a woman to create tension and then they compliment them to release the tension. Its a simple demonstration of confidence and it works if its genuine, because it shows that you are not afraid to make a statement that may offend. Pull- push on the other hand is just stupid, because why would you compliment someone and then take it back. It just comes across as rude.
Apparently when I was 8 years old I walked up to a bunch of females and said they're pretty and then ran away real fast smack my head and slid on the floor call that the you're pretty I'm just skidding on my face
The scariest part I'd imagine is when a person is approached by a stranger and the next thing they hit them with is "Are you scared? Am I scaring you?" And they continue.
“Don’t worry, I’m not some psycho/creep or anything” says the guy holding his hands out towards the random woman he’s approached as if to grab her for reassurance while awkwardly smiling.
I'm a girl who looks okay and i used to be very nice to strangers or people who need my help. But there were some foul apples who just spoiled it for me. Now i embrace my RBF and go about my day without being extra smiley.
that's a shame though. a lot of the fun in life comes from spontaneous human interactions. of course you should be careful but you shouldn't totally reject the idea of friendly interaction because of a few douchebags.
If a man who's a complete stranger approaches me in public and it's obvious his only intention is to sleep with me, it's an automatic rejection. Using pick up lines on me just tells me you only see me as a walking pussy and not actually a person who you want to get to know.
I could see some pick up lines being good ice breakers, but you need to know how to read the room to use the right kind of lines for that. This guy definitely does not know how to read the room, and especially with recording comes off more as creepy then charming lol.
A joint team from Britain and Germany has carried out an experiment and shown that _the part of the brain which people use to process pain also lights up when they cringe at other's actions..._
@@AkenoS14 the last one honestly probably would’ve potentially landed him her number if he just shut up on the walk there and possibly asked for her number when they got there. There was an attempt there, but it got ruined by cringe
if you get nervous talking to them try telling them you like their hair! or their style! those things will show that you’re flirting a little but not in a creepy way
one time i told a dude that worked at an ice cream place "you're an absolute king" while walking out. i didn't expect anything in return, just told him he's a king. men don't usually receive compliments, and he ended up laughing and smiling, so i felt really good about it :) complimenting people is fine, as long as you're not expecting anything back. saying something nice is all you need to do, nothing more. especially to someone who's in the middle or work LMFAO
What's actually crazy is that some of the women like Jasmine actually seemed receptive to talking to him, and then he goes and fucks it up with a "just kidding". MY GUY, COME ON.
When he asks people “what are you doing right now” it kills it also. He’d be better off saying “do you want to get coffee some time” or something at that point honestly
Pickup lines should only be used if you are already in a relationship, and you want to be cute for your significant other, or just otherwise mess with them. In those instances, they worked wonders for me.
You know, I actually had a sneaking suspicion that the kid is doing this more of a social experiment rather than actually trying to pick anyone up myself. To what end, I dunno, but he’s gotta be putting work into facing a whole lotta rejection for some reason.
@@locomadman Nah, he’s just some loser who’s playing the numbers game. The thing about desperate guys though is that they become the real possessive ones.
@@imconfused1237 see, I wonder about that because there was a couple times he was almost in, yet he still bails. I gotta ask myself if there isn’t an ulterior-ulterior motive we’re missing here or something. You very well could be right though.
@@shalomcastelino4805 I haven’t ruled that out as a possibility either. There’s just something sus about this whole situation that i can’t quite put my finger on yet.
As a female who's had pickup lines used on her, there was only one instance where I thought it was cute. It was this man who had left the store, and came back a few minutes later. He was definitely shy and nervous to say it, but said "I forgot something .." And I was genuinely curious, wondering if he left his wallet or the like. He had one hand behind his neck and kinda stuttered and said "your number" and, had I been single at the time, I would have given him my number. He seemed like he mustered up all of his courage to do that and it was endearing
i think shy guys makes lot of women feel safe. if its just some over confident guy does that id probably accidentally say 'ew'. but shy men are so adorable!!
@@jeanneann3545 honestly, yes. Overly confident guys can seem scary (that if you reject you will be hurt) but those shy ones not only put all energy into talking to you so they really must find you beautiful but also are not as pushy and will leave you alone if you feel bad about it I have a very shy boyfriend, he is cute and endearing and really understands me (as I'm extremely shy too), we can really support each other because we understand the awkwardness lol
Sure this is socially awkward, but it's not that bad at all compared to the harassment and assault like that other guy Charlie covered, where he would pepper spray women in the eyes after taunting them and run away.
Literally the ONLY thing to his credit is the fact he isn't confrontational about leaving when they show their disinterest or say they have a boyfriend. But something tells me the more he gets these responses, the sooner even that'll end up changing.
The trick was always to do them ironically, as a joke. if you do them seriously it will always fail (bc they're intentionally cheesy and awkward by nature)
I think walking up to someone and telling her she’s pretty and leaving if she rejects you is actually the perfect pick up line cause it’s not a pick up line. What makes this creepy is that he talks so fast and anxiously so it sounds like he’s up to something. And that he’s recording. That makes it all a no-no
You can't just randomly go to a girl minding her own business and say you're "pretty" it's annoying af. Some girls just wanna live in peace with getting hit on.
Additionally 3 more things are happening: The first one is that women get complimented on their looks a lot, and when somebody compliments your looks, a girl's mind goes to "Oh no, they want to have s3x with me", that's an uncomfortable feeling. You don't want to make the other person feel like you're up for whatever they are imagining, so rejecting is always the safest option. Second, since women get complimented on their looks all the time, it becomes tired and bored and borderline meaningless. If you want to compliment somebody, you've got to compliment other things. Their style, their makeup, their intelligence, their voice, etc. Something original that will stand out. And finally, last but not least, try to NEVER approach people when they are out and about. People are busy, minding their business. They aren't in Target or Wallmart looking for romance. When you derrail a person from what they are doing, that is annoying. If you want to approach people it is better to do it in slow paced environments. A park if they are sitting on the sun and chilling, or at a coffee shop, or more traditionally at a bar. If you want to make your life easy, slip them a piece of paper with your phone number on it and dip. Leave the ball on their court.
I think that the environment it's important too however I think that if you make the interaction natural you can have a more opened person rather than you just make explicit that you have romantic or sexual interesting. Like in the part that he approach the woman in the market, if he started with "Hi, I'm here to buy *thing that the woman was buying*, and you" or "can you help me?" just to start a natural conversation beginning by there.
at 4:57 you can hear him say "Its Raybans, it blinks when it sees cute girls" -- I think he's wearing those sun glasses that link to your smart phone and are able to record video.
I met a girl in highschool who was absolutely boy crazy, had a new crush every other week, not even exaggerating. Her genius idea was that using pickup lines (99% from the internet) the most annoying person I've ever met.
What this guy is doing isn't even pick up lines for the most part. "You're very pretty" is not a pick up line. A pick up like is something like "Is that a mirror your pants? Because I can see myself in them". The guy Charlie was talking about was cringe regardless however.
Yeah, me too... Still better than that one "pick up artist" that Leafy was talking about years ago, who´s in jail now. I forgot his name. But I´ve been re-watching a lot of Leafyishere videos recently for nostalgic reasons....
Holy shit, the second one was the most awkward NPC interaction I have ever seen, he didn't even bother when she started walking away, he knew he was done for, he knew he couldn't even go further with his shitty pick up line and even just took "thank you" as a rejection immediately. This is so uncomfortable you must be someone with absolutely nothing to lose to do this actively.
@@PatrickWDunne It's called internet points, and now that Charlie gave him even more cloud, he won't stop anytime soon. It's not harmful content tho, just awkward, it's ok if he keeps going lol.
He leads with “this is awkward”, what is he expecting? Being this direct when people are just out shopping never works. What’s wrong with just simple conversation, if they seem open and comfortable then you can continue. Nobody usually wants to be bothered while running errands though.
Being this direct when you're really handsome does work though. I can't see the guys face but I'm assuming that's why all the encounters were failures. Get a square jawed pretty boy with a greek nose and deep blue eyes behind that camera and you'll have much more receptive women.
@@grapeape888 it ain’t even the looks in this situation, i feel it’s more of his voice and delivery. most of the girls he approached weren’t even that good looking, and he genuinely had a couple interested. he shattered his own plan with his tone fasho
@@grapeape888 I mean it doesn't though. Be as good looking as you want, you cant approach people mad nervous and out of breath and compliment them and make advancements. He gets rejected bc he's shallow, direct, and awkward about all of it. "Hey youre beautiful, ha ha, whats your name, can i have your number" all within just spotting someone. Go to places where people are trying to meet people, go on tinder, dont go to a walmart. Its not a terrible thing by any means its just a bit weird at it makes some people uncomfortable but i feel for the guy and i hope he'll eventually learn to try to make some real social connections instead.
I have zero game but even I find this to be the epitome of cringe and sadness, the kind of videos that are actually kind of difficult to watch from the embarrassment and sadness you feel for the person who would come up with such a thing
it would’ve been so perfect they could’ve walked together and had a friendly conversation and if it went well, then once they’re at the library if the conversation went well he could’ve asked her out. and in that situation she’s much less trapped, whereas the way it played out she was already kind of committed to being stuck with him. kind of weird to make such a strong move right at that moment when she’s already committed to walking with him
or maybe, just maybe, she didn't mind that he was a little bit weird. You know most people in this comments are as weird and creepy if not more than this dude. You literally see a dude saying to someone they are pretty and it's too much to watch. This is because most people in this comments can't even talk to strangers, let alone try to meet someone to date.
This dude knows what he's doing. Zero cringe going on in his mind. Kind of a super power to be able to say anything and make people uncomfortable without feeling awkward
Gabriela Jimenez was videoed saying she was enslaved and saw people eating people. She looked sad, disgusted and in shock as she moved her hands to her mouth while explaining how they were eating. She said they smelled like humans. She said billionaire Carlos Slim knew about it. Police took her away and I've read she was never seen again. Gabriela was a little frantic, as would be anybody, and why is she missing now?
What I’ve learned on how to compliment somebody effectively is to 1. Truly mean the compliment 2. Compliment something that they did for themselves such as clothes, nails, piercings, or tattoos as to not be creepy 3. Never expect anything in return
I think this guy got too anxious a lot of times. Like there was a couple times where he just about had their interest, but then he expected it to turn out awkward and so it did. You just have to remember you can’t predict the future. I give him props for trying, but my advice would be is to be cool, calm, and collected. This kind of stuff is counter intuitive, and works best when you’re not trying to get their number.
The only reason pickup lines ever worked was because they were used as a joke, and a bit of an icebreaker for both parties to laugh at after. It was usually nice and kinda cute. But then people started using them unironically.
If it's said to me, I will instantly feel uncomfortable unless we're having a conversation about how dumb pickup lines are OR we've been going on a few dates and it's being said ironically. If it's written to me in a dating app and it's actually super clever and not sexual, it could work.
Question: how much more success would he have if he weren't walking up obviously filming them? Idk about others, but I'd instantly be less open and on creep alert if I had a guy filming me like that
I mean they CAN WORK *IF* the person has a personality. Like, before we began dating, my guy would laugh at the cheesy crap I say, not cuz of the cheese or the line, but because like with a good joke, you gotta have confidence to sell it or deliver it. Can't half ass and limpnoodle if it doesn't hit/stick. Like, "If I could rearrange the alphabet I'd put U and ME together...Wait, that's...three letters...Eh fxck it I like hanging out with you you know it c:" and it would always crack him up. Some people just want the line itself to do all the work and that is no bueno.
as a woman, i would probably feel even more weirded out, knowing that theres no proof of whats happening. for example, the pepper spray asshole recorded it and it was used as proof against him. Otherwise it would sorta be a your word against mine situation. but that might just be me idk :/
I say it's because her positive reaction was took him by surprise and made him nervous, triggering his fly or fight response which cannot distinguish between this new unexpected situation with a situation where he said something offensive and made her angry - therefore the just kidding.
he could have turned that one who walked him to the library into an actual friendship by simply....acting normal...asking her what her major is, if she likes this library or prefers a different one, if she ever studies at coffee shops instead, any normal conversation. When guys do this it feels like they don't even see us as people with actual interests and lives
The thing is men really aren’t looking for friendships with women. If a man doesn’t insinuate right away that he is looking for a romantic relationship the girl will usually friendzone him unless she’s very attracted to him. It’s a low risk but also low reward strategy trying to befriend a girl when your goal is to achieve a romantic relationship with her. And you will only resent her when you see her hook up or date guys that didn’t need to befriend her first. So it’s better to just be honest about your intentions right away.
@Emily well yea having a small conversation first doesn’t really mean being friends, I was thinking the op meant being friends as in like playing the long game and taking weeks or months to make a move.
@@JA-jx1hk also the "friend zone" is bullsh1t full stop. The attraction is either there or it's it's not. The minute a dude mentions the friend zone I'm gone. It implies friendship doesn't mean shit to the guy and they enter into every conversation with the opposite sex as a potential date and that's f*cking gross. I don't talk to every dude secretly butt mad that they might not want to have sex and date me.
Just to clarify here, he’s not recording with his phone just straight out like Charlie seems to believe. The man said in one of the videos the light was on his Ray Ban glasses which are new glasses with a camera. He said that specifically in the apple store clip Charlie shows here. So it’s not the flash light he has on, it’s a red light on the front of the glasses that turns on. It’s more subtle than just phone in hand and flash on. Not that it makes it much better, just a different context than what Charlie seems to believe is happening
@@jinx8624 euhm... that's the point of hiding cameras. The problem here is not him secretly filming... It's if he asked their permission to show their face on video or not. It's illegal no ? He should blur it.
The closest I have ever been to using a pick-up line was in a dumb convo. My sis had posted a pic with her tongue sticking out. I thought it looked like a hotdog so I asked her why she had a hotdog in her mouth. My sis called me a dork. Her best friend commented that it did look like a hotdog. Sis says "Shut up! He doesn't need any support!" I reply, "Yes I do. For my balls." My sister's bestie thought I was funny and we dmed. Now we have been together for 10-years and married for 6.
Super awkward, but thankfully the dude seemed to leave after it was super clear the girl had no interest in most situations and didn't keep hounding them like some "pick up artists" do edit: nvm made it to the "are you scared?" clip jeepers
My favorite was the "You're pretty like a flower. Just kidding.". Wait nvm watched further thats not my favorite part. Ill post my favorite part later..
so much bad advice 1 be nice then say something nice not flattering 2 start eye banging 3 ask questions 4 feel out the chemistry 5 ask to do something... really need to take my own advice either that or i need to start getting paid
One time I was at a club and I saw this pretty woman sitting alone. I kept checking her out and decided to hit on her. Anyway, I got up and walked towards her location. She was about 80ft away and I had to go around the side and approach her from the back because she was sitting on a raised platform. Anyway, I make it to her and tap her shoulder to get her attention and already had a plan of what I was going to say. She turns around and she was lets say not as pretty from close up. I was not at all attracted to her. This threw me off and without thinking I said what I had planned on saying beforehand (the jist was that I saw her from across the room and felt compelled to come over and introduce myself). Not to sound arrogant, but I’m a decent looking guy. Attractive enough to garnish the attention of pretty women. Anyway, the woman I was hitting on was pleasantly surprised and asked in an excited way “really?! you actually did?”. My brain had shut off and all I could think about was how to get the fuck out of there. So I played it like I was offended that she questioned me/didn’t believe me and just left lmao. I feel bad for doing that, but that’s all I could think of doing at the time. It still cracks me up and feel the cringe to this day.
@@PineappleBaconPizza lmao in my defense she was pretty far away in a dark club that had lights blinking and I was pretty drunk at that point. It’s alright, I ended up getting laid that night anyway so it all worked out.
Even he seems so uncomfortable I honestly don’t think he thinks the lines will work he just has some pathological need to tell them to random strangers. When one finally works he’s probably just going to say he’s not interested and move on to the next victim.
If he really wanted results he’d go around in a priest outfit and hit em with the “most people call me father but you can call me daddy”. It’s worked every time I’ve tried it.
as a girl who’s been recorded in public multiple times, most people such as myself, don’t call it out because of pure shock that it’s even happening (edit: the discourse that has started because of this comment i made a year ago is insane. can people not accept that there is going to be some fucked up individuals in the world who record women for their own pleasure? you dont have to be supermodel hot to be recorded or catcalled, you just have to be a person in the wrong place at the wrong time.)
@@ANTONl027 hate to say it but it is. as a 14 yr old ive been catcalled, recorded a handful of times by older men its sad i know it sounds unbelievable but its actually so common when your always the target
I had a pickup line accidentally work once. Just once though as I don't use pickup lines, they're ridiculous. "I had a dream about you last night". I was being 100% sincere, I really did and I had no ulterior motive. But we ended up banging for about 6 months after that
It’s aversion therapy, I figure. Kid probably is filled with anxiety, and this is his way of working through it. Not the best way to go about it, mind you, unlikely to actually get him a date… but 10-1 it’s a hella effective way to get over the fear of approaching & interacting with people.
@@locomadman Exactly, the only truly unacceptable part of his behavior is the filming. If he simply didn't record them, he might have a shot at actually developing some social skills. The camera makes a world of difference though, especially lying about it 😕
@@onouphrios Heh.. maybe he’s trying to fake it til he makes it? Actually, too much ego isn’t all that great of a thing to have anyway, kid might actually be dangerous if he had too much (false) confidence in himself.
I love how he's accidentally smooth af a couple times, and just PANICS haha. The flower thing seemed genuinely nice and she didn't seem too creeped out, then he says "I'm just kidding" haha
I laugh out loud when he did that. The girl is kind of being accommodating at that point, then he proceeds to drop the ball. Like he's subconsciously aware that his intention is creepy and he is just masking it with a "I'm just kidding" statement.
I applaud this man for putting the myth to the test. You always hear people say "oh well, its gotta work eventually right? At least 1 time". No, no it does not.
Hes not smooth with it. He startles women and catches them completely off guard in a time where theyre basically busy buying something or theyre on their way somewhere. Plus the camera in the face doesnt help. You gotta try this in a more social enviornment where people are there to chill and mingle like a party or a bar and you will be more succesful wit it here
@@RafaelMunizYT nothing wrong with it. i would tweak it and say, "I think you're attractive." It does also depend how you say it. Worked with my wife over 4 years ago. And with the other relationships I've been in
@@RafaelMunizYT yeah, it's best to wait until both ppl are on the same page before saying stuff like that. I can't imagine going up to someone I've barely met and saying "you're hot!"
I feel genuinely bad for this dude. He seems like a socially awkward dude who just doesn’t know how to interact with people. Like for example, he doesn’t keep pressing on and on after getting rejected, he walks away, wishes them a good day. I will also acknowledge that recording them and lying about it isn’t cool of him. Im mildly autistic ik how hard it can be to properly socialize, I was like this in middle school, and early high school. I always creeped out girls without realizing it until later on. I feel sympathy for this dude, he seems like a kind dude who doesn’t know how to properly socialize.
I swear to god, the woman who was like "hey I'm going by there anyway" was being cool , and if he acted like a normal person and had a normal conversation with her, it may have even been appropriate to ask for her number. First words out his mouth are "wow, you're attractive".
Dude right? Its worse when the chicks give them a chance for a conversation and they blow it. Even if he didn't have a chance with her he could've become friends and chicks have friends that might be interested if he was fucking normal.
To be honest, I just root for guys to fail. Cause they won't hesitate to take the girl you like anyway, and if I can't have a girlfriend, neither should other men. All of us must fail in order for the world to be just and fair. And should a guy succeed, I find solace knowing that the relationship will likely fall apart like most do. He may have his victory this time, but patience, it will turn into a defeat with time.
They sort of work in a bar or house party where everyone is at least mildly familiar with one another. If you've been hanging out in the same room as someone at length and you've been talking to the people they've been talking to, a clever play on words or a ridiculous, subversive pickup line can excite and engage the other person in humor while also suggesting something sexual. When it works, it works because you are essentially giving the other person a bunch of different outs in their dialogue tree (they get to roll with the sexual angle or roll with the levity). Trying to turn - what's supposed to be - a lighthearted goof into this concentrated effort to get something out of someone is just creepy.
Eh, they can work as a mediocre conversation starter, which (depending on the line) might help to start the conversation in a more flirtatious direction if done well. Generally there should be some sort of flirtatious eye contact/body language/prior attraction first for this to work out though, which obviously didn't happen here.
This dude is genuinely going through self-therapy. The psychologist that invented one of the most applied therapy techniques today made a similar thing: Albert Ellis was afraid of speaking to women and spent weeks in the botanical gardens in new york just walking up to girls to ask them out. He only managed to get a Date or two out of the hundreds of Girls he talked to, but never had issues with talking to strangers from that point on. This was in the 1930s, so cameras were not a thing back then. If this guy wouldn't take videos none could see the awkwardness and most people involved would simply forget about it, but also we wouldn't see the bravery he manages to maintain. Be like him... but don't make a fool of yourself by showing the world you are one
I once had someone harass me for 45 minutes after I told him that I don't have an interest in men, because he kept telling me that that wasn't true, and that I must have just been traumatized as a child and need someone to show me that dating a man can be safe and happy. This wasn't even the only time. It was just the worst. I totally agree with you and do appreciate that. I don't mind a guy taking a shot, if he then says, "Okay" and leaves if I tell him I am not interested.
@@DogFlamingoXIII those sre the worst type of men. Thats why its safer to say you have a bf if you choose to speak to them. The creeps will just try to think they can change you
@@kuroichan101 half the time if you say you have a bf they will still harasse you to cheat or ask how long have you been dating. it might be "safer" to just say you have a bf but at the end of the day men need to learn to respect womens decisions and not a not even present mans "claim" on her
Yeah I was relived when he didn’t start harassing the girls to prove his insulted ego. It’s the below the bare minimum so it sucks that even this is approached though
They do if the guy is attractive enough and actually legit funny, but only such a small percentage of men can pull off what it takes comedic wise while also having the looks required
Pick up lines are fun ironically, where it's clear to the recipient that you're half joking. Actually going up to random people in public and being 100% serious with pickup lines is one of the most creepy and cringy things I can think of
bro he doesnt actually chat them up or say anything interesting or attractive he just asks the women that he approaches questions about what they're doing and repeats it back to them like they're kindergarteners 💀
"The way you pointed the library, you're definitely my type." Jesus Christ I've never physically and mentally cringed so much in my life though I must say the amount of confidence this guy has to say shit like to public is actually impressive
This guy is actually a cupid match maker. As soon as he talks to any girl they all miraculously have boyfriends all of a sudden, danm that's impressive.

Saying you have a boyfriend is literally the only one that works. They obviously don’t just accept “no”, they think you’re lying if you say you’re gay, and even saying “I’m a minor” doesn’t work on most of them.

"This is awkward. I like to smell your feet and lick you armpits ma'am. Just kidding"
Truly one of the lines of all time.
mission failed... successfully?
Nah
for the other person yea
If your goal is "Task failed successfully".
The scariest part I'd imagine is when a person is approached by a stranger and the next thing they hit them with is "Are you scared? Am I scaring you?" And they continue.
“Don’t worry, I’m not some psycho/creep or anything” says the guy holding his hands out towards the random woman he’s approached as if to grab her for reassurance while awkwardly smiling.

"Are you scared?"
"No."
"You should be."

This legit tested my inner strength as a human, almost succumbing to the cringe, but just barely clinging to life.

Coming from the dude who said "You're beautiful" to a GameStop employee, then ran away. This is obviously considerably amazing advice. Thanks Charles.

@@thijnhogendoorn6598 okay giga chad
if you get nervous talking to them try telling them you like their hair! or their style! those things will show that you’re flirting a little but not in a creepy way
one time i told a dude that worked at an ice cream place "you're an absolute king" while walking out. i didn't expect anything in return, just told him he's a king. men don't usually receive compliments, and he ended up laughing and smiling, so i felt really good about it :) complimenting people is fine, as long as you're not expecting anything back. saying something nice is all you need to do, nothing more. especially to someone who's in the middle or work LMFAO

@@chimchu3232 like hes so close to playing it cool or causally BUT then MESSES IT UP
Yeah that shit makes me think he really doesn't want to actually pick up any women and just wants to harass them for content
Or the last one where he could actually get her number but instead comes out with the "you're attractive"
When he asks people “what are you doing right now” it kills it also. He’d be better off saying “do you want to get coffee some time” or something at that point honestly
"You do look like a flower"
"Thankyou"
"Sorry, just kidding"
Yooo, who does that😭😂😂
That was the best one he said yet and he just says im kidding and dips like why
bro hasn't gotten that far before ;(
"Wait what did you say thank you? I just assumed you'd tell me to go fuck myself.."
its called the push-pull method in redpill communiies
So used to being rejected he was just on autopilot.
Pickup lines should only be used if you are already in a relationship, and you want to be cute for your significant other, or just otherwise mess with them.
In those instances, they worked wonders for me.
I'm glad Charlie posts videos like this, it's always a confidence boost.
Seeing how this guy can just walk away, maybe he's a thousand IQ points above all of us and is actually teaching others that pickup lines don't work
You know, I actually had a sneaking suspicion that the kid is doing this more of a social experiment rather than actually trying to pick anyone up myself. To what end, I dunno, but he’s gotta be putting work into facing a whole lotta rejection for some reason.
@@locomadman Nah, he’s just some loser who’s playing the numbers game. The thing about desperate guys though is that they become the real possessive ones.

@@locomadman Maybe he's just trying to do rejection therapy?
@@shalomcastelino4805 I haven’t ruled that out as a possibility either. There’s just something sus about this whole situation that i can’t quite put my finger on yet.
As a female who's had pickup lines used on her, there was only one instance where I thought it was cute. It was this man who had left the store, and came back a few minutes later. He was definitely shy and nervous to say it, but said "I forgot something .." And I was genuinely curious, wondering if he left his wallet or the like. He had one hand behind his neck and kinda stuttered and said "your number" and, had I been single at the time, I would have given him my number. He seemed like he mustered up all of his courage to do that and it was endearing
i think shy guys makes lot of women feel safe. if its just some over confident guy does that id probably accidentally say 'ew'.
but shy men are so adorable!!
@@jeanneann3545 honestly, yes. Overly confident guys can seem scary (that if you reject you will be hurt) but those shy ones not only put all energy into talking to you so they really must find you beautiful but also are not as pushy and will leave you alone if you feel bad about it
I have a very shy boyfriend, he is cute and endearing and really understands me (as I'm extremely shy too), we can really support each other because we understand the awkwardness lol

The trick was always to do them ironically, as a joke. if you do them seriously it will always fail (bc they're intentionally cheesy and awkward by nature)
no reply yet wow
just dont use them
This is the last place I would expect you to be.
Cap
Trueeee
I think walking up to someone and telling her she’s pretty and leaving if she rejects you is actually the perfect pick up line cause it’s not a pick up line. What makes this creepy is that he talks so fast and anxiously so it sounds like he’s up to something. And that he’s recording. That makes it all a no-no
Even just saying "your pretty" is too vauge just have to ask them out because compliments don't mean crap unless you want something
You can't just randomly go to a girl minding her own business and say you're "pretty" it's annoying af. Some girls just wanna live in peace with getting hit on.
I’m no intelligent scientist on women all I am is just a woman, but it’s really not gonna get you laid if you say they look pretty
Additionally 3 more things are happening: The first one is that women get complimented on their looks a lot, and when somebody compliments your looks, a girl's mind goes to "Oh no, they want to have s3x with me", that's an uncomfortable feeling. You don't want to make the other person feel like you're up for whatever they are imagining, so rejecting is always the safest option.
Second, since women get complimented on their looks all the time, it becomes tired and bored and borderline meaningless. If you want to compliment somebody, you've got to compliment other things. Their style, their makeup, their intelligence, their voice, etc. Something original that will stand out.
And finally, last but not least, try to NEVER approach people when they are out and about. People are busy, minding their business. They aren't in Target or Wallmart looking for romance. When you derrail a person from what they are doing, that is annoying. If you want to approach people it is better to do it in slow paced environments. A park if they are sitting on the sun and chilling, or at a coffee shop, or more traditionally at a bar. If you want to make your life easy, slip them a piece of paper with your phone number on it and dip. Leave the ball on their court.
I think that the environment it's important too however I think that if you make the interaction natural you can have a more opened person rather than you just make explicit that you have romantic or sexual interesting.
Like in the part that he approach the woman in the market, if he started with "Hi, I'm here to buy *thing that the woman was buying*, and you" or "can you help me?" just to start a natural conversation beginning by there.
Dude that “just kidding” made me spit my drink out everywhere, I’ve never wanted to disappear from second hand embarrassment so bad in my life
at 4:57 you can hear him say "Its Raybans, it blinks when it sees cute girls" -- I think he's wearing those sun glasses that link to your smart phone and are able to record video.
This is so true. Pickup lines are just cringe, and every time I hear them I can’t help but remember high school
I met a girl in highschool who was absolutely boy crazy, had a new crush every other week, not even exaggerating. Her genius idea was that using pickup lines (99% from the internet) the most annoying person I've ever met.
What this guy is doing isn't even pick up lines for the most part. "You're very pretty" is not a pick up line. A pick up like is something like "Is that a mirror your pants? Because I can see myself in them". The guy Charlie was talking about was cringe regardless however.
*Are you from Tennessee?*
@@BrandonHeat243 or is your eyes the ocean because I can't stop swimming in them lol so cringy
@BrandonHeat243 Why the hell is THAT the first thing to come to mind when you think of pickup lines?!
I got second hand embarrassment watching that.
We all must inspire to be like him
Same, lol. I felt really weird seeing thier uncomfortable faces. The way he films in his POV makes me feel like I was the one talking.
It’s unbearable just watching
Yeah, me too... Still better than that one "pick up artist" that Leafy was talking about years ago, who´s in jail now. I forgot his name. But I´ve been re-watching a lot of Leafyishere videos recently for nostalgic reasons....
I had to turn it off after the first attempt, can't do it man.
"you look nervous, am i making you nervous?" NOT UNTIL NOW
If he put down the phone he'd be ok
Holy shit, the second one was the most awkward NPC interaction I have ever seen, he didn't even bother when she started walking away, he knew he was done for, he knew he couldn't even go further with his shitty pick up line and even just took "thank you" as a rejection immediately. This is so uncomfortable you must be someone with absolutely nothing to lose to do this actively.
his spirit was crushed immediately
Tbh a real hero fuck the circle jerky.

Does this guy have a humiliation fetish? I can't imagine getting nothing but Ls yet still continuing with it.
@@PatrickWDunne It's called internet points, and now that Charlie gave him even more cloud, he won't stop anytime soon.
It's not harmful content tho, just awkward, it's ok if he keeps going lol.
He leads with “this is awkward”, what is he expecting? Being this direct when people are just out shopping never works. What’s wrong with just simple conversation, if they seem open and comfortable then you can continue. Nobody usually wants to be bothered while running errands though.
Being this direct when you're really handsome does work though. I can't see the guys face but I'm assuming that's why all the encounters were failures. Get a square jawed pretty boy with a greek nose and deep blue eyes behind that camera and you'll have much more receptive women.
@@grapeape888 it ain’t even the looks in this situation, i feel it’s more of his voice and delivery. most of the girls he approached weren’t even that good looking, and he genuinely had a couple interested. he shattered his own plan with his tone fasho
depends on your vibe
@@grapeape888 I mean it doesn't though. Be as good looking as you want, you cant approach people mad nervous and out of breath and compliment them and make advancements. He gets rejected bc he's shallow, direct, and awkward about all of it. "Hey youre beautiful, ha ha, whats your name, can i have your number" all within just spotting someone. Go to places where people are trying to meet people, go on tinder, dont go to a walmart. Its not a terrible thing by any means its just a bit weird at it makes some people uncomfortable but i feel for the guy and i hope he'll eventually learn to try to make some real social connections instead.
@@pocketgrim4942 Don't go to Tinder if you are looking for a relationship though. That's like going to a strip club to try to find a wife.
Absolute good sportsmanship from the guy. Actually taking a no for an answer.
fr most just start sexually harassing them
I have zero game but even I find this to be the epitome of cringe and sadness, the kind of videos that are actually kind of difficult to watch from the embarrassment and sadness you feel for the person who would come up with such a thing
Being called attractive by this guy is probably the same way I feel when some grandma calls me handsome

it would’ve been so perfect they could’ve walked together and had a friendly conversation and if it went well, then once they’re at the library if the conversation went well he could’ve asked her out. and in that situation she’s much less trapped, whereas the way it played out she was already kind of committed to being stuck with him. kind of weird to make such a strong move right at that moment when she’s already committed to walking with him
@@BIGAMBERFAN Fr like how did he use the worst line in the one conversation he could actually get her number
@@aarondowd7346 it almost feels like it was going too well and he wanted to put himself on hard difficulty
or maybe, just maybe, she didn't mind that he was a little bit weird. You know most people in this comments are as weird and creepy if not more than this dude. You literally see a dude saying to someone they are pretty and it's too much to watch. This is because most people in this comments can't even talk to strangers, let alone try to meet someone to date.
This is the equivalent of Scout from TF2 going “Hey good lookin, got a bucket of chicken”
“Just kidding” - Mr Steal Yo Girl
This dude knows what he's doing. Zero cringe going on in his mind. Kind of a super power to be able to say anything and make people uncomfortable without feeling awkward
If it’s not cringe, it’s hella desperate (which ironically makes swings the whole situation back to cringe).
It’s absolutely awkward
More of a dangerous personality trait
Gabriela Jimenez was videoed saying she was enslaved and saw people eating people. She looked sad, disgusted and in shock as she moved her hands to her mouth while explaining how they were eating. She said they smelled like humans. She said billionaire Carlos Slim knew about it. Police took her away and I've read she was never seen again. Gabriela was a little frantic, as would be anybody, and why is she missing now?
A super power of making people uncomfortable and not feeling weird about it? Nah that’s just social ineptitude
What I’ve learned on how to compliment somebody effectively is to
1. Truly mean the compliment
2. Compliment something that they did for themselves such as clothes, nails, piercings, or tattoos as to not be creepy
3. Never expect anything in return
4. don't say weird shit like "you're attractive"
@@JaxontheOkay That's not weird, It's just the way he said it that makes it sound weird
We also love compliments on our hair
@@rayluxhove Got it!
"I like what you did with the hair on your arms. Very fringe!"
I think this guy got too anxious a lot of times. Like there was a couple times where he just about had their interest, but then he expected it to turn out awkward and so it did. You just have to remember you can’t predict the future. I give him props for trying, but my advice would be is to be cool, calm, and collected. This kind of stuff is counter intuitive, and works best when you’re not trying to get their number.
0:11 kicking, screaming and what?
4:27 bro slide cancelled 😂
A huge key of conversations is being confident and standing by what you said!
The only reason pickup lines ever worked was because they were used as a joke, and a bit of an icebreaker for both parties to laugh at after. It was usually nice and kinda cute.
But then people started using them unironically.
Idk man "Are you subway because you turn my six inch into a footlong" has only gotten me arrested twice
Loool
They gota be clever
Hey, do you know how much a polar bear weighs?.
Me neither but they're probably pretty fat.
But, but , but, r/tinder always proves that pick up lines work!!!
“Are you snake? Because you make my metal gear solid”
I never understood why people thought pickup lines worked
are you made of salt? Cause you’re sodium fine
Idk if someone said that to me I don't know if I could say no
Lollll!!!
What are you talking about that’s great
If it's said to me, I will instantly feel uncomfortable unless we're having a conversation about how dumb pickup lines are OR we've been going on a few dates and it's being said ironically. If it's written to me in a dating app and it's actually super clever and not sexual, it could work.
the bar is in hell that him accepting a no makes him one of the better ones
He is a hero showing the reality of social interactions. Even if he is recording it, its ok. Its not malicious.
It's even creepier than Charlie realizes because he was recording with spy glasses that's why he said "no they're just Ray-Bans"
Oh. Oh no.

Question: how much more success would he have if he weren't walking up obviously filming them? Idk about others, but I'd instantly be less open and on creep alert if I had a guy filming me like that
I think the location is another thing that makes it worse. A college campus/bar/convention would probably be better.
He wears a hat with a camera on it, they don’t notice it
it wouldn’t work either way lmfao
I mean they CAN WORK *IF* the person has a personality. Like, before we began dating, my guy would laugh at the cheesy crap I say, not cuz of the cheese or the line, but because like with a good joke, you gotta have confidence to sell it or deliver it. Can't half ass and limpnoodle if it doesn't hit/stick. Like, "If I could rearrange the alphabet I'd put U and ME together...Wait, that's...three letters...Eh fxck it I like hanging out with you you know it c:" and it would always crack him up. Some people just want the line itself to do all the work and that is no bueno.
as a woman, i would probably feel even more weirded out, knowing that theres no proof of whats happening. for example, the pepper spray asshole recorded it and it was used as proof against him. Otherwise it would sorta be a your word against mine situation. but that might just be me idk :/
I imagine the “I’m just kidding” was like a quick time event in his brain.
ruin chances speedrun any% no glitches
my man was supposed to press up and A but he didn't press anything and got the worst outcome
If it was a quick time event then he definitely failed it
Dude got the bad ending
I say it's because her positive reaction was took him by surprise and made him nervous, triggering his fly or fight response which cannot distinguish between this new unexpected situation with a situation where he said something offensive and made her angry - therefore the just kidding.
I think he may be wearing glasses that record.
They say nothing lasts forever, Charlie.
Will you be my nothing?
he could have turned that one who walked him to the library into an actual friendship by simply....acting normal...asking her what her major is, if she likes this library or prefers a different one, if she ever studies at coffee shops instead, any normal conversation. When guys do this it feels like they don't even see us as people with actual interests and lives
The thing is men really aren’t looking for friendships with women. If a man doesn’t insinuate right away that he is looking for a romantic relationship the girl will usually friendzone him unless she’s very attracted to him. It’s a low risk but also low reward strategy trying to befriend a girl when your goal is to achieve a romantic relationship with her. And you will only resent her when you see her hook up or date guys that didn’t need to befriend her first. So it’s better to just be honest about your intentions right away.
@@JA-jx1hk Nah unlike you we aren't that ridiculously desperate LMAO. I bet you're into ur own mom.

@@JA-jx1hk also the "friend zone" is bullsh1t full stop. The attraction is either there or it's it's not. The minute a dude mentions the friend zone I'm gone.

I don't talk to every dude secretly butt mad that they might not want to have sex and date me.
Bro should’ve chilled
Just to clarify here, he’s not recording with his phone just straight out like Charlie seems to believe. The man said in one of the videos the light was on his Ray Ban glasses which are new glasses with a camera. He said that specifically in the apple store clip Charlie shows here. So it’s not the flash light he has on, it’s a red light on the front of the glasses that turns on. It’s more subtle than just phone in hand and flash on. Not that it makes it much better, just a different context than what Charlie seems to believe is happening
yeah I think that makes it a bit more fucked up

One time I was at a club and I saw this pretty woman sitting alone. I kept checking her out and decided to hit on her. Anyway, I got up and walked towards her location. She was about 80ft away and I had to go around the side and approach her from the back because she was sitting on a raised platform. Anyway, I make it to her and tap her shoulder to get her attention and already had a plan of what I was going to say. She turns around and she was lets say not as pretty from close up. I was not at all attracted to her. This threw me off and without thinking I said what I had planned on saying beforehand (the jist was that I saw her from across the room and felt compelled to come over and introduce myself). Not to sound arrogant, but I’m a decent looking guy. Attractive enough to garnish the attention of pretty women. Anyway, the woman I was hitting on was pleasantly surprised and asked in an excited way “really?! you actually did?”. My brain had shut off and all I could think about was how to get the fuck out of there. So I played it like I was offended that she questioned me/didn’t believe me and just left lmao.

It’s aversion therapy, I figure. Kid probably is filled with anxiety, and this is his way of working through it. Not the best way to go about it, mind you, unlikely to actually get him a date… but 10-1 it’s a hella effective way to get over the fear of approaching & interacting with people.
dude has no ego
@@locomadman Exactly, the only truly unacceptable part of his behavior is the filming. If he simply didn't record them, he might have a shot at actually developing some social skills. The camera makes a world of difference though, especially lying about it 😕
@@onouphrios Heh.. maybe he’s trying to fake it til he makes it? Actually, too much ego isn’t all that great of a thing to have anyway, kid might actually be dangerous if he had too much (false) confidence in himself.
I love how he's accidentally smooth af a couple times, and just PANICS haha. The flower thing seemed genuinely nice and she didn't seem too creeped out, then he says "I'm just kidding" haha
That was my favourite part. The only time someone was receptive to and flattered by his compliment and he goes and fucks it two seconds later.
Sike, you actually look like a blade of grass!!! 😂
So glad he didn't go the princess route
He fumbled the ball on that one
I laugh out loud when he did that. The girl is kind of being accommodating at that point, then he proceeds to drop the ball. Like he's subconsciously aware that his intention is creepy and he is just masking it with a "I'm just kidding" statement.
Gotta give props to the man
After so many rejections he still keeps going pure determination ig
(This hurts my soul to watch)
him instantly bailing and saying “just kidding” is one of the funniest interactions I’ve seen in a while
never do that
"You look like a flower"
Devil on shoulder: "FUCK YES GOOD, NOW TELL HER YOU WANT TO POLLINATE!!!"
I audibly laughed
not phunny
@@freeuse3926 yea it's a shame you weren't blessed with a since of humor
@@cryptickingaroo i've been blessed with the ability to differentiate between good humour and terrible humour
@@freeuse3926 laughing at dad jokes doesn't count
he said it’s a hidden camera in his glasses
you know... he's a bit creepy but i've seen much worse. i don't think he's really doing much harm since he backs off after being rejected
Atleast he has the guts to approach. Most guys these days don't have that. His game will improve.
I applaud this man for putting the myth to the test. You always hear people say "oh well, its gotta work eventually right? At least 1 time".
No, no it does not.
Never works. For what I know, using a pick up line shows how desperate and unoriginal you are.
Only one time it worked,
And he screwed it up with a "Just kidding" soon after.
He just doesnt have game and doesnt say it confidently and backtracks it if shes into it
@@hentpplays8845 cause he’s a fuckin anime protagonist levels of unable to converse
Hes not smooth with it. He startles women and catches them completely off guard in a time where theyre basically busy buying something or theyre on their way somewhere. Plus the camera in the face doesnt help. You gotta try this in a more social enviornment where people are there to chill and mingle like a party or a bar and you will be more succesful wit it here
8:50 if this guy was super chill with small talk and didn't jump straight to "you're attractive" he actually might've gotten a number
"you're attractive" is so cringe. why not say "you're pretty" or "you're cute"? even weirder with that horrible timing of his
@@RafaelMunizYT dont say either :/
@@goose93 u right I don't even talk to random girls XD
@@RafaelMunizYT nothing wrong with it. i would tweak it and say, "I think you're attractive." It does also depend how you say it.
Worked with my wife over 4 years ago. And with the other relationships I've been in
@@RafaelMunizYT yeah, it's best to wait until both ppl are on the same page before saying stuff like that. I can't imagine going up to someone I've barely met and saying "you're hot!"
He should probably go to an actual social settings. No one is going to Walmart trying to meet people and socialize.
I feel genuinely bad for this dude. He seems like a socially awkward dude who just doesn’t know how to interact with people.
Like for example, he doesn’t keep pressing on and on after getting rejected, he walks away, wishes them a good day. I will also acknowledge that recording them and lying about it isn’t cool of him.
Im mildly autistic ik how hard it can be to properly socialize, I was like this in middle school, and early high school. I always creeped out girls without realizing it until later on. I feel sympathy for this dude, he seems like a kind dude who doesn’t know how to properly socialize.
He should use indirect game in such situation (not showing intent straight, instead having friendly conversation).
I swear to god, the woman who was like "hey I'm going by there anyway" was being cool , and if he acted like a normal person and had a normal conversation with her, it may have even been appropriate to ask for her number.
First words out his mouth are "wow, you're attractive".
yeah, this guy is try-harding big time but it's NOT paying off!
He would of failed anyway. Approaching women and trying to talk to them is pointless .
Dude right? Its worse when the chicks give them a chance for a conversation and they blow it. Even if he didn't have a chance with her he could've become friends and chicks have friends that might be interested if he was fucking normal.
@@SaltySeaCaptain bros too physically unattractive and autistic to make anything work with girls. He should just give it a rest with woman
To be honest, I just root for guys to fail. Cause they won't hesitate to take the girl you like anyway, and if I can't have a girlfriend, neither should other men. All of us must fail in order for the world to be just and fair. And should a guy succeed, I find solace knowing that the relationship will likely fall apart like most do. He may have his victory this time, but patience, it will turn into a defeat with time.
Pick up lines should be seen as some weird hypothetical jokes and nothing else
They sort of work in a bar or house party where everyone is at least mildly familiar with one another. If you've been hanging out in the same room as someone at length and you've been talking to the people they've been talking to, a clever play on words or a ridiculous, subversive pickup line can excite and engage the other person in humor while also suggesting something sexual. When it works, it works because you are essentially giving the other person a bunch of different outs in their dialogue tree (they get to roll with the sexual angle or roll with the levity). Trying to turn - what's supposed to be - a lighthearted goof into this concentrated effort to get something out of someone is just creepy.
Eh, they can work as a mediocre conversation starter, which (depending on the line) might help to start the conversation in a more flirtatious direction if done well. Generally there should be some sort of flirtatious eye contact/body language/prior attraction first for this to work out though, which obviously didn't happen here.
@@SlurMaster9000 okay 👍
This dude is genuinely going through self-therapy. The psychologist that invented one of the most applied therapy techniques today made a similar thing: Albert Ellis was afraid of speaking to women and spent weeks in the botanical gardens in new york just walking up to girls to ask them out. He only managed to get a Date or two out of the hundreds of Girls he talked to, but never had issues with talking to strangers from that point on. This was in the 1930s, so cameras were not a thing back then. If this guy wouldn't take videos none could see the awkwardness and most people involved would simply forget about it, but also we wouldn't see the bravery he manages to maintain. Be like him... but don't make a fool of yourself by showing the world you are one
Pickup lines only work as jokes among friends.
At least he's walking away when they're clearly not interested, he's meeting at least the basic level of "how not to scare people"
I once had someone harass me for 45 minutes after I told him that I don't have an interest in men, because he kept telling me that that wasn't true, and that I must have just been traumatized as a child and need someone to show me that dating a man can be safe and happy. This wasn't even the only time. It was just the worst. I totally agree with you and do appreciate that. I don't mind a guy taking a shot, if he then says, "Okay" and leaves if I tell him I am not interested.
@@DogFlamingoXIII those sre the worst type of men. Thats why its safer to say you have a bf if you choose to speak to them. The creeps will just try to think they can change you
Charlie is a fucking bully. He gets off on mocking awkward young dudes for his legion of fans
@@kuroichan101 half the time if you say you have a bf they will still harasse you to cheat or ask how long have you been dating. it might be "safer" to just say you have a bf but at the end of the day men need to learn to respect womens decisions and not a not even present mans "claim" on her
Yeah I was relived when he didn’t start harassing the girls to prove his insulted ego. It’s the below the bare minimum so it sucks that even this is approached though
As a girl, I can say with high confidence that none of us were under the illusion that pick-up lines are effective
Fake CIA plant. No ones under the illusion that women are real
They do if the guy is attractive enough and actually legit funny, but only such a small percentage of men can pull off what it takes comedic wise while also having the looks required
Bit if you see a 6'4" guy with a handsome face, you get wet, no matter whats said. 🤦
@@GOREFEAST incel alert
@@ricky_d3430 no bro. I AM that guy. Thats why i said it. Throwing around the word "incel" to insult people is not very mature, is it lil bro? LOL
once he showed the first pick up line i clicked off, but then clicked back remembering it was a charlie video
this tiktok guy is an actual hero for showing how inefficient a pick up line is
Pick up lines are fun ironically, where it's clear to the recipient that you're half joking. Actually going up to random people in public and being 100% serious with pickup lines is one of the most creepy and cringy things I can think of
Pick up lines are for those with absolutely zero personality.
Nah it’s creepy even if you’re joking it’s only funny if it’s with someone you know very well
@@imconfused1237 are u a man 🤔🤔
pick up lines work when ur attractive
@@imconfused1237 i have zero personality and pick up lines are for no one aside from what Charlie said
Honestly as someone that can't even talk to strangers without internally cringing at myself and wishing I'd die, props to him for even trying.
facts, i wouldnt even be
able to get close to them
Son be so harsh on yourself boah
trying what? To coax as many young women as possible to sex? at college campuses asking fake questions? I hope thats not your idea of trying
Props? He's a creep recording them and insisting while they clearly want to go away
@@RafaJLopez I said props for being able to talk to strangers. Never said the other things he's doing are fine.
This guy's about to get the sadness any percent world record speed run.
bro he doesnt actually chat them up or say anything interesting or attractive he just asks the women that he approaches questions about what they're doing and repeats it back to them like they're kindergarteners 💀
"The way you pointed the library, you're definitely my type."
Jesus Christ I've never physically and mentally cringed so much in my life though I must say the amount of confidence this guy has to say shit like to public is actually impressive
Bruh he made me question how I ask people for directions
The way you typed that, you’re definitely my type
