What are the best Tinder pick up lines?

In this guide, we are going to review some of the most popular tinder pickup lines on the internet and find the best ones. We did all the research for you—so you can skip the scroll and go straight to the gold.

The lines will be ranked A through F tier. Anything above B tier is considered a good pick up line. In addition, we are going to provide an example for each one of these in action so you can see exactly how it plays out in real life

20 Tinder Pickup Lines

1) “I could totally beat you at Mario Kart” – C Tier

There are many variations of this opener, but the general idea is you’re telling the girl that you can beat her at Mario Kart, and this one is very popular on TikTok and Reddit. However, the issue is that most girls don’t play Mario Kart and some have never even heard of it and so it will only resonate with a smaller percentage of girls. Thus, the C Tier

2) “Are you a haunted house? Cause I’d cry if I came inside of you”  – D Tier

There is also another variation of this where you send the haunted house line first, wait for her to respond and then send the second part. Either way this opener is D-tier at best. There are some girls who will find it funny, but the problem is that it can and most likely will get you banned. All it takes is one chick with no sense of humor to report you, and you’re done. For that reason, generally not recommended

3) “Can’t tell if youre innocent or an absolute baddie” – B+ Tier

This opener is good because it catches the girls attention without risking your account being banned. It also creates a fun and flirty frame from the start. For instance in the example below my follow up message would be “You better wear a condom, cause I got a dirty mind”

4) “Don’t tell anyone but my mothers son thinks ur super cute” – B Tier

This is definetly a witty one. It allows you to show sexual interest in a humorous, light hearted way. It also makes for some easy role play (as you see in the example below). Overall, solid opener, but avoid using it on chicks who seems brain dead

5) “I would ask if you want to go to the movies, but they don’t let snacks in” – C or B Tier

Also a very popular pickup line floating around online. The reason for the difference in tiers is because the results of this one will depend a lot on your audience. This will most likely work well with younger girls (18-25). However, for girls 30+ this will result in mixed reactions. Some will think you’re immature. It is not just age though, a girl who is an influencer or onlyfans chick might find this a lot cuter then a girl whose a lawyer.

6) “Can I be honest?” –  B+ Tier

This is a two part pick up line. First you say “can i be honest”. This will have a very high response rate, because girls are going to be curious what you want to be honest about. The second part of this is “you seem like potentially my type” or some variation of it. This is gonna cause the girl to ask more about what your type is which creates a frame where you are qualifying her.

7) “Hey future lover” – C+ Tier

This opener is decent, but not great. It does create a very flirty frame, but it does not invoke any curiosity so the response rate will be definetly lower then the previous one. Some girls will respond more positively then other. I think Milfs are the target market for this one

8) “Hey trouble” – B tier

This opener was popularized by yours truly in previous articles and videos. Overall, it is still solid. Unlike the prior one, it does invoke a bit of curiosity cause the girl thinks “why does he think im trouble”, which improves the response rate. It also creates a very flirty dynamic right from the start, making it easier to sexualize later one

9) “Hey (insert girls name), you know what’s interesting about your photos” – B Tier (with caveat)

This opener will have a very high response rate. Possibly higher than any other opener on the Internet. The catch is that you really need a good follow up to it when the girl asks. Unfortunately, a lot of the time the girl’s photos will be too boring to think of an interesting follow up. However, if you can think of an interesting and semi-unique observation then you’re good to go

10) “Hey, Im the one! You can delete the app now” – C+ tier

This is not a bad pick up line, but it is also has it’s downsides. It doesn’t invoke much curiousity, lowering the response rate. To some girls it can also come off as over cocky. However, there are also girls that will appreciate the confidence. I would imagine this working best outside of America

11) “How does this work? are we married now?”- C+ tier

Very similar to the previous one in principle. Doesn’t invoke much curiousity. However, it is more humorous and thus likely to remove the potential “overly cocky risk”. This opener will work well with some girls and not so much with others.

12) My 3rd grade’s crush was named (insert girls name). I used to pull her hair and steal her crayons” – C or B Tier

This opener was very popular a few years ago. As an unfortunate result, some girls will have heard it, greatly lowering its appeal to them. That aside, it is very witty and creates a sexual frame right away. For some of the “nice girls” this will be too much though. I recommend using this on the girls who look more dtf. The ones with a bunch of tattoos or piercings. If they haven’t heard it before, they’ll respond positively

13) “Hey (girls name), Im curious about something” – A tier

This is also a two part opener. After she responds to the first part, you need to actually have a good follow up about something you’re curious about. A standard follow up line that has worked great in the past is “how can you look so innocent and like such trouble at the same time”. This opener is A tier because it will have a high response rate due to invoking curiousity and comes pre packaged with a good follow up message so it can be used on pretty much any girl

14) “Your dad would absolutely hate me” – B tier

Initially, I didn’t think much of this pick up line but after testing I was pleasantly suprised. It invokes curiosity in a way because the girl thinks “why is my dad going to hate him” and thus ensures a high response rate. The only reason it is not A tier is because the exchange afterwards is gonna require you to be witty and think on your feet (example of that in the screenshot below).

15) “I see we both have good taste” – B+ tier

This is a simple yet witty pick up line. It also doesn’t require much “thinking on your feet” afterwards like the previous one. The only downside is that it doesn’t invoke much curiousity so the the response rate won’t be as high as some of the other ones. But it is still a great way to start a convo, especially for beginners who want simplicity

16) “Your profile is the greenest flag I’ve seen in a while” – C+ or B Tier

This pickup line is definetly unique. It also invokes curiosity because the girl thinks “what about my profile makes it a green flag”. The issue is that this line will require you to think on your feet and come up with something interesting when she asks that question. Also, this opener will simply not make sense for a lot of girls who didn’t put much effort into thier profile. Therefore it can only be used on some girls, lowering it’s rating

17) “Hey wanna steal my comfiest hoodie” – A- tier

This opener works amazingly. In fact, I am such a big fan that I literally did a whole video just on it (you can see that here). There is an inside joke amongst girls that after they hook up with a guy, they take their t-shirt or hoodie, and the pick up line shows an understanding of the female world, while also creating a very fun, flirty frame from the beginning.

There is only one potential downside with this line: a small percentage of girls will have heard it. That’s the only thing that prevents it from being a complete A tier.

18) “Hey (girl’s name) truth or dare” – C Tier

This opener will invoke some curiosity but also come off as immature to some girls. The guy in the screenshot below does have a good follow-up up which I think will work well on younger girls (18-25). And while it may work on some older women, the odds are a bit lower

19) “so, can I skip trying to find a cheesy pickup line. Just gonna say ur super cute and I’d love to hang out sometime if ur down” – C or B tier

There are multiple variations of this (as you can see in the screenshot below), but the general idea is to lay your cards on the table right away. There is gonna be some girls who will respond well to this, and as a bonus, you will get to skip some of the BS. However, there will be other girls who will think this is just needy. And I don’t thnk this is based on age as much as the other ones

20) “This is awkward, I actually swiped right for your dog” – F or A tier

This is a great pick-up line….if the girl has a dog. However, if she doesn’t, then this is completely useless. Thus, a massive discrepancy between the tiers.

Conclusion

And there we have it, the top 20 pick up lines ranked. My advice is to also experiment with the ones that are B tier plus and see which ones works best for yourself.
