The chifla: a Latino’s way of saying “how you doin’?” If you’re not getting whistled at on the street then you’ve probably run into some cringy pickup lines while you’re at the bar or on dating apps. And while men approach you in hopes of getting your phone number or meeting up later, they sometimes don’t realize how uncomfortable their “conversation starter” can be. How many of us get that instant feeling of “WTF do I say?” Well, we can’t exactly tell you how to respond but we can share these nine pickups lines that Latinas shared on TikTok. We seriously can’t make this stuff up and yes, even the pandemic gets turned into a punchline.

Well played, sir, but no thank you. While comparing a woman to lice is not the epitome of romantic or suave, we would give him credit for creativity. Most women would say he’s like a piojo in that they’d try to get rid of him.wp_*posts

Why does this seem like the cringey pickup line that probably had a lifespan as long as Trump’s presidency? Trump and romance never go hand in hand so kicking off a conversation with the former president is most likely not the smartest choice.

Quarantine has us indoors and out of the social scene. But if you use this on a girl, you may not come across well-versed in the art of seduction or being sensitive to the painful reality of the coronavirus. Please do like Trump in January 2021 and see yourself out.

Latinxs truly know the feeling the chancla brings us, both the fear and pain. If you ever hear this line, let them know how your mom would handle them with the chancla.

We all know that Mazapan is the way to a Latina’s heart. So we wouldn’t be surprised if guys actually score a date with this one. If he actually busts out a Mazapan, he may actually be a keeper.

Who knew McDonalds could find its way into a pickup line?  While we can appreciate the witty use of their famous motto,  we’re gonna do like a KitKat and break if off.

First of all, if someone is saying this to you, back up six feet. Second of all, no. We get that after almost of a year of being in quarantine you gotta laugh about it but go ahead and put a mask on please.
