What is poetic rizz?

  1. Metaphors, similes, imageryโ€”you name it! Poetic rizz is all about taking lessons from the poets and turning pickup lines into charming or seductive poems. โ€œRizzโ€ is shorthand for โ€œcharisma,โ€ and when someone has or is using โ€œpoetic rizz,โ€ it means theyโ€™re attempting to attract someone with beautiful words. [1]
    • Poetic rizz can be cheesy and fairly simple. For example, โ€œyou stole my heartโ€ is a common poetic rizz pickup line. You canโ€™t really steal someoneโ€™s heartโ€”itโ€™s a figure of speech!
    • This type of rizz is most commonly used on dating apps but can just as easily be used in real life.
    • How do you know if itโ€™s poetic rizz or not? If a line, compliment, or quote makes you swoon, itโ€™s poetic rizz!

How to Use Poetic Rizz Lines

  1. The number one rule when it comes to rizz? Confidence. Charisma is all about putting your best foot forwardโ€”aim to be the best version of yourself! To be confident , hold your head high, keep your shoulders back, and walk into the room (or virtual texting space) like you own the place.
    • Try practicing your poetic rizz lines in the mirror before saying them to someone in person.
    • Wear something you feel confident to make your amazing personality and attitude shine.
    • Ask a friend about a poetic line before you send it.
  2. Choose your favorite poetic rizz line and roll with itโ€”donโ€™t bail at the last second! Step up to your crush or an attractive stranger and let it rip. Be bold and simply go for it. Toss in a friendly โ€œhello,โ€ genuine compliment, flirtatious wink, or contagious smile to really seal the deal.
  3. It can be easy to fall into popular stereotypes and clichรฉs, especially when messaging someone online; however, try your best not to do so. Common phrases like โ€œWyd?โ€ and โ€œDo you use this app often?โ€ can come across as a sign of disinterest. So, treat any conversation like an in-person conversation to seem authentic . [9]
    • The best way to do this? Make your poetic rizz line personal. Comment on their specific eye or hair color, or mention something they specifically like (a favorite flower, food, season, etc.).
  4. While having rizz is all about being charming , donโ€™t try to force something that doesnโ€™t feel like you. Follow your own unique voice, listen to your heart, and use a pickup line or poetic comment that feels true to you.

Expert Advice on Writing Poetic Lines

  1. Not sure where to start when making up a poetic rizz line? Well, weโ€™re here to help! We talked to professional writer Alicia Cook to bring you the best advice possible. Hereโ€™s what Cook recommends:
    • Read poetry . What better way to learn poetic rizz than by learning from the poetic masters themselves? Look up poetry online, or flip through a poetry book of your choosing. As Cook says, the more you read, the more creative youโ€™ll feel.
    • Start with rhyme. If youโ€™re stuck on what to say, go with a rhyme! Cook says this can help you start thinking more poetically.
    • Think about a favorite song. When Cook has writerโ€™s block when working on a poem, she remembers poetry is just like music. What would be your charisma or rizzโ€™s rhythm and beat?
    • Focus on imagery. Cook elaborates that imagery is one of the most analyzed pieces of a poem. This means itโ€™s popular! So, when in doubt, opt for a rizz line that compares someone to a beautiful image.
    • Be creative! No poem is the same, so no pickup line has to be the same. As Cook reiterates, โ€œthereโ€™s no black or white wayโ€ to write a poem (or, in this case, rizz line).
