Is there a new breed of pick up lines in the making?

I'm only asking this because 2 different guys have told me this, only 2 so far, since I send off the other guys rather quickly now that I am in a relationship myself, but my question is this: Have all you guys out there created a new pick up line or what? The line in question is this:"I like the way you hold yourself, full of confidence."This made me stop and look at the guy and actually pay attention to him. It's true I tells yah! I'm getting so used to the smoochers out there that think they are being SO original with the whole, "Oh DAMN you're HAWT!" line. Listen up guys, we KNOW we're pretty, beautiful, hot, gorgeous, yeah it's nice to hear it sometimes, but from our OWN men, not some random guys! We know this, and frankly it gets a little annoying, as if we don't know this! But yes, this new pick up line caught my attention. If anyone have tried the whole online dating thing through facebook, one of the guys I met off there said that to me, he said he was watching some of my videos that I posted, one was a little comedy thing I did with my friends on how to make margaritas the "proper" way, drunk, extra tequila and a NO measuring utensils lol! And he mentioned that he like the way I held myself, full of confidence, funny, full of life, and very good posture...that's right, very good posture.....when I was drunk....I had to watch the video again to make sure I WAS standing up straight, and I was, must have been because I was doing a "presentation" lol. Here's the video: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=507124596&v=app_2392950137&viewas=507124596#/video/video.php?v=2396934596 WHEW! Had to type that in since I'm not over 500 posts...please tell me if the link doesn't work. But yes, back to the topic of the discussion: IS this a new fad? ARE men switching the pickup lines because they see that it's not making them stand out and be different to get the little lady? Or big, whatever you guys have preference for. Also, if yah want, right out some pick up lines that you've used, or heard that are memorable!

I suppose those lines are better than them walking up.. sitting beside you and looking into your eyes and saying "so.... you're a girl, eh?"

i guess things just have to change at some stage, the old pick up lines aren't going work quite as well as they used to. females are taking more offence to them so that makes it hard, instead of passing it off as bit more of a joke.

Yeah, I tend to play along, chuckle a bit, but if they keep coming on strong, and NOT back off if the girl tries to tell them otherwise, then I might get rude right at them. I might even go so far as to invite them to our table to sit down and share some laughs as well.

Good posture and hold your self well,you should have asked him if he was from a modeling agency or something.Or say so my fella told me, this morning!I will tell you something funny,I was walking round the town with my Dad 75 years old today having lunch doing a bit of christmas shopping ect.The young fairly good looking guy ,interupted our laugh we were having ,and asked me very nicely what was so funny,I just looked at him and we walked off,It has been so long since I was chatted up in public with my old Dad there,it stumtped me.My old Dad wanted to hit him.I said better not his mummy must be around somewhere.I am fifty years old but my husband said he was probably drunk or on day release, flipping cheek.

WHAT? oh my goodness! Aw, poor little guy, some people just want to be nosy I guess, share a laugh. Was daddy jealous and wanted you all to himself? That's so sweet!
