Your only chance to retain an ounce of dignity is to go in as confident as possible with no line other than, "Hi, how you doin'." If you are single at an advanced age, the advantage would be that you have a modicum of confidence that the poor, poor single woman in an old man bar will be attracted to, no line required.
Having said that, if you are still using lines at the ketchup age, it is nigh impossible not to look corny--hell, corny is a reasonably good outcome (pathetic might be more applicable).
But don't worry, if I am picturing the bar you are doing this in accurately, there is a a weather-beaten skank who's been through the mill--she's on her eighth or ninth tanqeray, and she is deaf with alcohol poisoning. So just smile and move your mouth, she will go home with you, she will refer to you as "lover." Her name will be Starla, and she will make as if she's going to the can to switch wigs and then she will steal your car (it all happened on a Simpsons).

At 57 you should be able to impress a woman without a pick up line.

I should think that if you still believe (at age 57) that "PICK UP LINES" WORK AT IMPRESSING WOMEN . . . you still have ALOT to learn about women.
LOL!
Thankfully, it's not too late.
Women don't repsond to anything REMOTELY CLOSE to a "pick up line" or anything that smells anything like it. They can sniff it out a mile away . . . and as far as THEY are concerned . . . NOTHING REEKS MORE THAN A LAME ATTEMPT AT IMPRESSING THEM.
57 or 27 . . . ITS TRUE.
In fact , "TRYING" to "IMPRESS" a woman if the first, best way she wants nothing to do with you . . . unless you offer her expensive things for no reason. But that doesn't mean she will feel ATTRACTION for you.
"IMPRESSING" A WOMAN SHOULD NOT BE YOUR GOAL. Working at being the type of guy she WANTS TO SPEND TIME WITH is what you will want to concern yourself with.
But if you still need a "pick up line" . . . .
"WAS YOUR EX HUSBAND A TERRORIST?
BECAUSE YOU ARE THE BOMB!"
LMAO!!

It must have been awhile since you've been single. Go into the way back machine and remember how well pick up lines worked in your youth...THEY DIDN'T. If woman didn't like these when we were young and inexperienced we sure as hell don't enjoy them when we're mature they are an insult to our intelligence. Try striking up a casual conversation as a pick up line and go from there.

You need to hit one of those bars that cater to the 'older' crowd (FYI - I'm 50). These type of bars are FULL of women (50+ years of age). You shouldn't need a pick-up line.
As long as you're dressed/groomed properly, no problem. These old broads will spread 'em in a heartbeat.

None at all, just talk to the woman she will like it more then some pick up line that makes you look like every other guy that hits on her lol.

What's wrong with just saying, "Hi?" Pick-up lines are pretty corny by definition... just go for a regular conversation!

Hi, my name is _____. You look very nice tonight!!
Just don't use it on those young girls, if you don't want them to make an old fool of you. I see that happen soooo often. These guys actually think that the young girls are interested in them, instead of their money.
I am an older, recently single, woman. I hate lines, but love to meet gentlemen that are nice, when they introduce themselves politely.

alright mad&sad, you can have these ones for free. when u ask if she has a boyfriend, no matter what reply, ask her if she wants a "MAN-Friend". that one has a batting average of .350. definitely a weapon in the arsenal right there. focus on that too. girls dont want a "boy" they want a man. and make sure she knows the diffrence, and sees the diffrence in you. and try to keep the convo off yourself, make it all about her. females like to talk so let em.

hey don't listen to all those saying they don't work! If you do one that is funny they do work! As long as it isn't serious coz then its just plain embarrassing. Use the one about the teeth i think that is hilarious. If she has a sense of humour she will laugh. If not then really would you want to go there anyway?
