Experience
John Reed is dedicated to the art of the opener, collecting the best pick-up lines, the smoothest rizz, and the cheesy openers that somehow still work. In the Rizz Lab, he tests what actually works, ranking pick-up lines and sorting rizz from smooth to gloriously cheesy. He encourages readers to bring their worst material and leave with their best, helping them steal, tweak, or just enjoy the secondhand embarrassment of modern flirting.
