As a Jamaican woman who has travelled to several countries, I must say Jamaican men have some of the best pick-up lines—or as we call them in Jamaica, “lyrics.” I may sound biased, but after experiencing countless “checkings” during my travels and hearing pick-up lines from around the globe, nothing compares to the creativity and charm of Jamaican men.
Once you read the pick-up lines I’ve shared, I guarantee you’ll understand why they stand out.
1. “Mi love yuh like cook food“
I love you like cooked food.
2. “Yuh have a nice Colgate smile deh“
You have a beautiful smile, like the kind in a Colgate toothpaste ad.

5. “If I was Babylon, mi would charge yuh cause yuh too nice“
