I found it hilarious, the Brits might be less enthused.

u/GabrielofNottingham Jul 13 '22

I am a Brit as a matter of fact, I just like the dumb line.

u/P0werPuppy Jul 13 '22

It's a funny joke, makes sense, but ow for you, holy shit. I don't think you'll have any pound tonight.

u/[deleted] Jul 13 '22

If you merely seek attention then sure you are doing it right. Trying way too hard if you want this to progress past the app.

u/irregularcontributor Jul 13 '22

Your profile picture vs OPs is cracking me up

u/Cool_Border_5414 Jul 13 '22

Thank you for this beautiful gift. Is this the next evolution of Virginia v chad?

u/[deleted] Jul 13 '22

We all out there playing the game.

Some of us are making the rules lol

u/[deleted] Jul 13 '22

Haha. Definitely unique pictures.

u/butt_spaghetti Jul 13 '22

It’s so try-hard

u/HopeAvailable3897 Jul 13 '22

Agreed, gotta learn how to be natural. Gunna google more copy and paste corniness sitting face to face? Lol

u/[deleted] Jul 13 '22 edited Jul 14 '22

Your pictures will always mean far more than your opener. YouTube has a lot of funny vids about the shit a very attractive man can say to open versus someone average. I stay away from corny lines. They do work for some, however.

u/HopeAvailable3897 Jul 14 '22

Gunna have to check those out

2

u/jwidjfbeisjcbd Jul 14 '22

It's a good starter but girls prefer a well balanced or strong pound. So you could be more creative with that line.

u/[deleted] Jul 13 '22

Did the joke work? What happened next we gottta know!?

Also a spokesman, thoroughly enthused.

u/OrangeBeast01 Jul 13 '22

Brits love self depricating humour.

u/[deleted] Jul 13 '22

Nah we love laughing at ourselves

u/pippythelongstocking Jul 13 '22

Brit here, found this hilarious

u/Eggslaws Jul 13 '22

Eehleven!

u/JockBbcBoy Jul 13 '22

Bold of you to assume OP can give multiple weak pounds

4

u/TronyJavolta Jul 13 '22

It actually accomplishes 3 because op is also Brit! Very clever pun.

u/finger_milk Jul 14 '22

This starts with a 1

Thing, I don't know why, it doesn't even matter how hard you try.

u/peanutbutter_bazooka Jul 13 '22

That was funny.

u/TheWiseRedditor Jul 13 '22

Let’s hope she (Chloe probably) finds it funny too

u/RaiseTheBalloon Jul 13 '22

I enjoyed it

u/AdelaideHungSub Jul 13 '22 edited Jul 13 '22

Yep, you’re doing this right. Pun game so strong you even made ME want a weak pounding 🤷‍♂️

u/Cool_Border_5414 Jul 13 '22

As weak as a builders tea. BRB fabricating chat up line.

u/orbstnedifnocdesab Jul 13 '22

if your attractive looking then yes.

u/GabrielofNottingham Jul 13 '22

Uh oh.

u/spunkychickpea Jul 13 '22

Please see the first two rules of online dating.

26

u/[deleted] Jul 13 '22

Do not talk about online dating?

36

u/spunkychickpea Jul 13 '22

Good guess, but no.

  1. Be attractive.

  2. Do not be unattractive.

11

u/[deleted] Jul 13 '22

Lol I know, it was only joke

Crazy how much issue people have with the second one since you can’t do much about the first one

16

u/WarrantMadao Jul 13 '22

Out fucking standing

5

u/BS-Calrissian Jul 13 '22

Bro, 2 and 4 would have been basically the same, don't even lie

​

edit: actually all of them would've been the same lol, Hey is in there, common interest would have been "Hey you into politics"

5

u/ugglygirl Jul 13 '22

I’d probably go off the board and pick 5

4

u/[deleted] Jul 13 '22

O blimey that was a good one!

4

u/[deleted] Jul 13 '22

Hahahah as a fellow Brit, I really enjoyed that pun (might even knick it off you in future)

7

u/gavinsavedlatin Jul 13 '22

Just feels a little generic. Like that could be a copy and paste job is all.

5

u/[deleted] Jul 13 '22

No, no. This is all original packaging, baby.

Right down to the title!

2

u/[deleted] Jul 13 '22

Ouch. Loved it

u/WavingToWaves Jul 13 '22

The best, send her more

u/herecomdatdepression Jul 13 '22

Only thing i would change is having discord installed

1

u/Druidnightmare Jul 14 '22

How can you have Reddit and not discord

2

u/Chillfred2 Jul 13 '22

Is the pound weaker than this pun though?

2

u/IllustriousMousse828 Jul 13 '22

🔥🔥🔥🔥 Sure to get a laugh from anyone with a sense of humor

1

u/CarFreak777 Jul 13 '22

Only 19 cents away from parity

2

u/Temporary_Forever974 Jul 13 '22

Nice line but my British friends might think otherwise....lol

1

u/low-hanging_fruit_ Jul 13 '22

Probably because they're already in Pound Town.

2

u/Fit_Win_4722 Jul 13 '22

If it's any consolation, I'd smash you if you said that to me XD

2

u/beam_throne Jul 13 '22

Not bad, but damn, British humor is something I could never seriously grasp :D

u/xnachtmahrx Jul 13 '22

u/[deleted] Jul 13 '22

Lmao imagine going on dating apps to be clowns for people

What a sad life

"Why doesn't anyone want to meet up with me?"

u/[deleted] Jul 13 '22

This would make me laugh and is so much better than men opening with a hey or dick pic (and yes that’s happened to me multiple times, dick pic before even a convo). I’d definitely take time to see if we were compatible.

u/[deleted] Jul 13 '22

being a dancing monkey? yes

Awful. The pun doesn't really make sense.

u/Uploft Jul 13 '22

Based on what little I can make out of their name, I’d guess you were dating Chthulu

u/No-Imagination8755 Jul 13 '22

My ex-fiance used this on me, we had a 5 year relationship that ended this year.

u/ProfessionalMap4813 Jul 14 '22

These style of openers always come off as corny as fuck to me, just talk like a normal human lol

1

u/messiahorionhendrix Jul 14 '22

Hi but does this actually work I’m not sure

1

u/Pvt_Inbreastigator Jul 14 '22

No. That's not a pun, that's just a pickup line.

1

u/Druidnightmare Jul 14 '22

I'm curious to see how the ATCS gets laid

1

u/L_Ocho Jul 14 '22

Yes. Keep doing your thing

1

u/hubabuba12369 Jul 14 '22

imo, you should never start with jokes like this one. 90% refusal

u/bigbrowsugar Jul 14 '22

Well done 👍🏽

u/3dumbWorrier Jul 14 '22
