Men learn jokes and pickup lines to impress girls

You: That's mysogynistic

Women have to do the same

You: That's mysogynistic

Pickup lines are worse than just saying hey, like wow you copy pasted a cliche from a Google search! What is she supposed to do with that? How is that a conversation?

You know I've never, or at least very rarely, used pick up lines or jokes to initiate conversations on dating apps and it's been fine? It's kind of the worst way to start an actual conversation IMHO but you do you. I never once mentioned jokes or pick up lines and it's weird you brought it up lol
