Top Ten Worst Moroccan Pickup Lines (so far)

In light of the previous post discussing idiosyncratic Moroccan customs and unusual male behavior, I present my commentary on…

Top Ten Moroccan Pickup Lines:

1. You’re a beautiful starship.

Borrowing random English words from Top 40 song lyrics (especially when you count on the love goddess herself, Nicki Minaj) is a surefire way to get yourself a date!

2. I like your face.

Honesty and directness are important when establishing a relationship.

3. Qué hora es?

If the foreign girl didn't turn around when you said salam, maybe she speaks Spanish.  Throw out any phrase you know and she’ll be impressed by your mastery of languages.

4. You are Britney Spears?

Choose a popular celebrity to liken your foreign beauty to.  She’ll appreciate your knowledge of American culture, and you might even get her to laugh!

5. *pretend to take picture* Oh sorry, you’re too beautiful, I need to remember.

Never be afraid of dramatic gestures, and consider throwing in some elements of Bollywood drama.

6. American beauty!

Identify her nationality and woo her with the basics.  Flattery is your most important tool!  

7. Want to see magic trick? Ah but I am joking, I only wanted to meet you.

…this one doesn't work anywhere…

8. Bonjour-bonjour-bonjour

She didn't speak Spanish?  Go for French next.  And she probably just didn't hear you the first time.

9. Wait, please, I have a secret to tell you.

Remember that women are mysterious and love secrets. Get her attention, and then reel her in with your suave looks and natural charm.

10. Ayayayayay

…just…no.
