Vilka är de bästa raggningsreplikerna? Vilka är de sämsta? Hur vet man om en raggningsreplik kommer att fungera? Vad har raggningsrepliken för funktion? Här följer en kort analys på området svenska raggningsrepliker.

För det första. Man kan inte bara gå fram till en tjej eller kille och spotta ut vilken smörja som helst. Det fungerar inte så. Att ragga är så mycket mer, och ta det från någon som bott i flera länder: Det är alltid annorlunda. En sak är dock klar, och detta gäller när man raggar i Sverige som när man raggar utomlands, man måste kunna läsa läget. Det är a och o. Om man kanske har fått ögon kontakt på krogen, det är då man måste bryta isen. Att ragga handlar inte om att göra sig ’oemotståndlig’ utan snarare om att visa att man ställer sig till förfogande. Vilken raggningsreplik man då väljer att använda sig av är tämligen egalt. Fast ett råd kan vara att ta det lite lugnt.

Om du är riktigt självsäker så räcker det med att dra en klassiker. Då spelar man med öppna kort från början. Men var beredd på att du kan nobbas ganska hårt. Klarar du det så kör hårt!

En annan ide kan vara att bryta isen med en raggningsreplik. Du visar att du är intresserad, men inte lika djärv som ovan. Levereras bäst med ett leende på läpparna.

Här är lite, tja, vanligare raggningsrepliker. De funkar inte så bra alla gånger, men de är kul

Vill du vara lite gullig så kan du ju alltid dra till med ordvitsarna. I stil med...

Alla gillar komplimanger. Så varför inte?

Det kan vara svårt att närma sig någon som står ensam för att ragga. Testa några öppnare som:

Sen kan du ju alltid dra de där med "din pappa måste” eller "gud måste". Ja, du vet vilka jag menar

Skulle din farsa vara rik, kan du skryta med det. Eller så kan du ljuga. Du skulle inte vara den första raggaren som drog en rövare för att få omkull en tjej.

Om du eller ditt ragg verkar bilintressread så är det bara att dra till med:

På förvirrat ragg har du alltid halva inne. Var lite klurig!

Alla är svaga för utmaningar, så utmana eller använd omvänd psykologi. Nå vad väntar du på!?

När det väl är dags att lämna krogen, så är dessa möjliga alternativ att få ditt ragg att ta med dig eller följa med dig hem.

Här är raggningsreplikerna du aldrig ska använda!

What are the best Swedish pick-up lines? Which are the worst? How do you know if a pick-up line will work? What function do pick-up lines serve? Here is a short analysis on the subject of Swedish pick-up lines.

First off. You can’t just go up to some random girl or boy and cough up any old line. That is not how it works. Sarging is so much more than that, and take it from someone who has lived in many different countries, it’s different everywhere. One thing always remains the same though, and that is regardless of whether you are sarging in Sweden or abroad, you need to be able to read the situation. Say for instance you have made eye contact with someone at a club; you are going to need to break the ice. Sarging is not about making yourself ‘irresistible’ but rather making yourself available. What pick-up line you decide to use ultimately becomes irrelevant, but better to err on the side of caution.

If you are really confident you should stick to the classics. That way you play with an open hand from the get-go. However, be warned. You will get shot down, and it will not be pretty. If you can take that, then go for it!

Use pick-up lines to break the ice. You show you are interested, but not as bold as when using the pick-up lines above. These are best delivered with a big smile on your face.

These are some more run of the mill Swedish pick-up lines. They don’t really work, but they’re fun.

If you want to be cute, go for a play on words. Like...

Everyone loves a compliment, so why not?

It can be hard to approach a person on their own in a club. Try these openers:

Then you could always pull a ”Your dad must’ve been....” or a “God must’ve...”, well you get the point.

If your dad is rich, then you could brag about that. Or lie. You would not be the first person to get someone on their back by lying to them.

If your target seems interested in cars, why not try:

A confused target, is half-caught. Subterfuge!

No one can resist a challenge, so put them to it or use reverse psychology. What are you waiting for? Chicken?

When it’s time to leave the club, just use these simple techniques to broach the subject of my-place-your-place.

Here are the pick-up lines you should never use!

*six in swedish is both written and pronounced the same as ’sex’, namely: ’sex’.
**sky = heaven in Swedish
***sweet is a synonym for cute in Swedish
****teddy is slang for cellular phone in Swedish

This can be done at any age, and well, there is no proper way to find love. But there are more appropriate ways to make sure that the person you like or just found interesting could be your perfect match. No matter what, it always starts there: the Flirting stage!

Scary, right? Well, obviously, some are more likely to be good at flirting, and some others just don’t understand the meaning of it! There are many techniques, and you can even find agencies that help you through flirting in several stages. But, in the end, there is no secret pick up line that will work for everyone and everywhere around the globe. And flirting evolves with time. What worked a decade ago is obviously going to be considered “cheesy” nowadays. This is exactly the case in France for example. The romantic approach might not be the best one. Well, if you need a few tips, just have a look at this test.

So, just because there is no perfect technique and approaches when it comes to flirting and because we are no “Flirting” professionals, we just decided to tell you “what not to do or say” in our own countries. Why? Well, because we don’t know what works but we definitely know what doesn’t work!

Have a look at this articles in which you will find the cheesiest pick up lines in several countries:

Latin America: English | Español

India: English | हिंदी

शायद कसूर हमारी बॉलिवुड फ़िल्मों का है। हमेशा वही कहानी – लड़का कैसा भी हो, उसकी गुस्ताखी पर लड़की कितनी भी हैरान हो जाए – आखिर में हिरो के बोलने के ढंग के बलबूते पर लड़की पट जाएगी। सब लोग जानते हैं कि ऐसा ही होगा – दर्शकों को पता है, लड़के को पता है, बस बेचारी लड़की नही जानती।

और संगीत का भारत में हमेशा बड़ा महत्व रहा है। तब ज़ाहिर सी बात है कि अगर कोई आशिक़ अपनी लड़की की खोज में है, उसका दिल तक पहुंचने का रास्ता संगीत से ही होगा।
हाँ, कसूर शायद बॉलिवुड का है। तभी तो बंबई के रासतों पर इतने सारे हिरो पड़े रहते है, अपनी हिरोइन ढूंढते हुए। कोई इन्हें बता दें कि लड़की के कान में बोलिवुड गाना गुनगुनाकर लड़की प्यार में नहीं पड़ जाती!

बंबई में ऐसे बोलिवुड आशिक़ दो तरह के होते हैं; गानेवाले और गुगुनानेवाले।

गुगुनानेवालों का तरीका कुछ ऐसा होता है: छोटे कोने में छिपे रहो, सामने से जाने वाली हर लड़की पर गौर की नज़र रखो। पसंद की लड़की मिल जाए तो (और ऐसी पसंद की लड़की मिलने में ज़्यादातर पाँच मिनटों से अधिक वक़्त नहीं लगना चाहिए) अपने कोने से धीरे से निकल जाओ। लड़की पास आने पर एकाएक अपना गुगुनाना शुरू करो। (अगर गाना पिछले सात दिनों में लगातार रेडियो पर रहा है, तो और भी अच्छा।) फिर देखो कि लड़की कैसे और भी तेज़ भाग जाती है।

गानेवालों का तरीका कुछ अलग होता है। फ़र्क बस इतना ही कि यह गाना गुगुनाते नहीं बल्कि पूरा गाने ही लगते हैं। इनका जीवन मंत्र है “गाना आये या ना आये गाने चाहिए।” फिर क्या फ़र्क पड़ता है कि लड़की को गायक के दिल की अवस्था के बारे में और जानना है या नही?

पिछले महिनों के टॉप पाँच गाने –

• देसी गर्ल (चाहे लड़की ने पहना हो सलवार या जीन्स)
• आँखों में तरी
• जाने क्यों
• गुज़ारिश
• मैं अगर कहूं

इन आशिक़ों से सीखिए – लड़कियों को कैसे नही पटाया जाता!

I blame it on the Bollywood movies. All those stories where the okay-looking guy (with a paunch, sometimes) invariably lands up with the fabulous looking girl (no paunches allowed here), usually thanks to his irresistible wit. Well, if you hear the exact same line three times, it’s usually enough to help you resist the charm a little better each time.

Life is easier for a guy in India. I notice that guys in other countries have to actually come up with their own pickup lines; Indians have to go through none of this. Why think of them yourself when you can have a professional do it for you? The pickup lines for a roadside Romeo in India are usually provided by Bollywood scriptwriters. Just croon a few lines of a song from the latest Bollywood hit, and the girl should be swooning, right?
Fortunately or unfortunately, not quite.

There’s a very fine line between sentimental and cheesy, and popular Bollywood songs are well aware of this distinction. They are very careful to always fall on the cheesy side of the line. And strangely, it sounds even cheesier when translated from Hindi into English. To illustrate my point, I’ll show you a few examples.

• So alluring are your eyes that I have become a lover of them.
• The moment your eyes met mine, I went crazy, the world has gone crazy, even God seems crazy to me now.
• I am no poet, but the sight of your face is all by itself a poem.

They don’t even bother with singing the whole song. They usually pick the first two lines and harp them over and over, out of tune and out of context, until the girl is out of earshot. (And very often out of patience.)

It must be pretty discouraging to spout all these romantic sentiments at a girl and get absolutely no response, right? But apparently not.

In India, a pickup line is only part of the job description of the self-respecting roadside Romeo. Far more annoying than the line is the approach that accompanies it.

• The Fixated Stare: The Indian roadside Romeo does not believe in subtleties. If the girl doesn’t know that he’s looking at her, what’s the point?
• The Swagger: The macho metropolitan man does not allow his hands to be visible. In pockets. At all times. Then a slow swagger, preferably in the opposite direction to the one the girl is taking, to aid better execution of the former rule.
• The Song: As soon as one is within a foot of the girl, one starts humming. The girl is expected to recognise the song and the lyrics that go with it, and the message they convey. The more ardent Romeo, however, will go the whole mile and sing the lyrics.
• The Satisfied Grin: Once the girl is past, the song is sung, our macho man will smile triumphantly all to himself: a job well done, a duty towards manliness accomplished.

La típica escena: vas caminado por la calle, pasas cerca de una construcción y un obrero grita: “Me gustaría estar siempre borracho, para verte dos veces”. Ni volteas y solo decides caminar un poco más rápido para que no le dé tiempo de ponerse más creativo.

En Latinomérica, lanzar piropos es casi una obligación para los hombres, la mujer merecedora del “halago” no tiene que ser una belleza exuberante, simplemente todo hombre tiene el deber de cumplir con cierto número de piropos al día, es decir, es una especie de cuota que todo hombre heterosexual tiene que pagar para poder seguir perteneciendo al club de los machos. Por otro lado, Las mujeres latinoamericanas estamos acostumbradas a recibir piropos e ignorarlos de inmediato, de la misma forma en que un citadino ignora el ruido del tráfico en la hora pico.

Entonces, me pregunto: si las mujeres ignoramos los piropos, si los consideramos inútiles, molestos, cursis y algunos un tanto repugnantes, ¿por qué los hombres siguen usándolos?! ¿Será que no saben que nos parecen simplemente risibles? Ningún piropo es bueno, por lo tanto NO LOS USEN. Así que ahora una pequeña lista con algunas de las frases que NO deben decir:

• Piropos clásicos:
  “Hola, soy nuevo por aquí, ¿me puedes decir dónde queda tu apartamento?”
  “¿Te importa si compartimos el taxi hacia mi casa?”
  “¡Dime cómo te llamas y te pido para Navidad!”
  “¡Quién fuera bizco para verte dos veces”.
  “Tu madre debe de ser pastelera porque tú eres un bombón”.
  “Si ser sexy fuese un delito, te pasarías la vida en la cárcel“.
  “Tanta curva y yo sin frenos”.
  “Si como cocinas como caminas, me mudo a tu casa”.
  “Disculpa, ¿no tendremos algún amigo en común que nos pueda presentar?”
• Piropos “románticos” (los más cursis):
  “¿Qué hace el sol caminando por mi acera?”
  “Si la belleza fuese un segundo, tú serías 24 horas”.
  “Si la belleza es pecado, tú no tienes perdón de Dios”.
  “Están cayendo ángeles del cielo...”
  “¡Cómo avanza la ciencia! Ya las flores caminan...”
  “Deberías ir por la sombra pues los bombones al sol se derriten”.
• Piropos narcisistas (¡Se supone que el piropo es para el otro, no para ti!):
  “¿Crees en el amor a primera vista o tengo que volver a pasar delante de ti?”
  “Si yo fuera tú, me enamoraría de mí”.
  “Si no te das el gusto de conocerme, no vas a poder darte el gusto de olvidarme”.
• Piropos nerds:
  “Mi Mac tiene celos de lo bonita que eres”.
  “Cuando busco en Google “Mi corazón”, eres el primer resultado”.
  “Eres el “Enter” de mi vida”.
  “Dime cómo te llamas y te agrego a ‘Mis Favoritos’ ”.
• Piropos que requieren respuesta:
  -¿Estás cansada?
  -¿De qué?
  -De dar tantas vueltas en mi cabeza.

  -Me tienes que comprar un diccionario.
  -¿Por qué?
  -Porque desde que te vi me quedé sin palabras.

So typical: You are walking down the street, go past a construction site and some random worker shouts at you: “I wish I could be always drunk to see two of you.” You don’t even turn around to look; you just decide to walk a bit faster so the guy won’t have time to think of a more creative pick-up line.

In Latin America shouting pick-up lines is almost mandatory for men. Men don’t need to wait for a gorgeous supermodel-like woman to pass by, they can flirt with just about any girl just to carry out their duty; it’s almost like a daily quota heterosexual men have to comply with in order to be part of the macho club. On the other hand, Latin American women are used to hearing and immediately ignoring those lines, in the same way city dwellers are used to ignoring the noise of traffic at rush hour.

So, now I wonder, if we ignore pick-up lines, if we think they are useless, annoying, CHEESY, and in some cases disgusting, why do men keep using them?! Don’t you guys know that we find them simply laughable? There is no such thing as a good pick-up line, so DON’T USE THEM. That being said, here’s a little list with some of the things you should NOT say:

• The Classics:
  “Hi, I’m new ’round here; can you tell me where can I find your apartment?”
  “Do you mind if we share a taxi to MY place?”
  “Tell me your name to put you on my Christmas wishlist!”
  “If being sexy were a crime, you’d be in jail for life.”
  “So many curves, and I just can’t hit the brakes.”
  “If you can cook like you walk, I’ll move in to your place.”
  “Excuse me, don’t we have a friend in common who can introduce us?”
• The romantic style (and cheesiest):
  “I think the sun is walking along the sidewalk.”
  “If beauty were a sin, you’d be in hell.”
  “Angels must be falling off the sky...”
• Narcissistic lines (You’re supposed to compliment the other person, not yourself!):
  “Do you believe in love at first sight or should I walk by again?”
  “If I were you, I’d be in love with me.”
  “If you don’t take the pleasure of getting to know me, you won’t ever have the pleasure of trying to forget me.”
• Nerdies:
  “My Mac is jealous ’cause it thinks you’re prettier than it”.
  “When I google “Love” you’re the first hit.”
  “You’re the “Enter” of my life.”
  “Tell me your name to add you to ‘My Favorites’.”
• Conversation style:
  -Aren’t you tired?
  -Of what?
  -Tired of running through my mind.

  -You’ll need to buy me a dictionary.
  -Why?
  -’Cause the moment I saw you, I ran out of words.

Wondering about the time when French women were easy to flirt with? Well, apparently French women are no longer impressed by short romantic phrases or languorous glances in the subway. This is sad because men don’t often dare to attempt a flirtation and risk being slapped across the face after only 2 seconds!

I guess times are changing. French women might not be sensitive anymore to the well-known French romanticism! Which is why some approaches and pick-up lines that might sound perfectly acceptable to men, well, are completely “has-been”. So if you’re planning on a trip to France and wish to flirt along with French ladies, here is exactly what you should not say or do!

I literally translated from French to English, but I guess you will get the big idea out of it! And if you have more suggestions to do, don’t hesitate!

You have really beautiful eyes, you know!

You know, I think your parents are going to become my parents-in-law.
