I have admitted to several lovers and many female mates that my initial espousal of feminism in the mid-seventies was a ploy to get off with more interesting women. Perversely, and meta-ly, this was and remains a reasonably effective opening gambit, even to this day.
I can remember a lad on the same degree course as me - the son of a nationally lauded/reviled artist - telling me his killer pick-up line before a party (anecdote fail: I cannot remember the fucking line. It had something to do with drowning in the layyyyydeez' eyes. It was ghastly), then resolutely failing with it over and over again and getting miserably drunk.

Google suggests several variations on "Somebody call a lifeguard. Because I'm drowning in your eyes".
You're right about it's ghastliness, but aren't all of these ready-worked-out sentences ghastly? I don't think I've ever known anybody actually use one, but I suppose people do.

"I've lost my phone number, can I borrow yours?" was the one I always liked best, though I think I only attempted to actually use it the once, and that on a dare.

Actually, I think I've remembered the chat-up line, which was doing the rounds in the late 70s/early 80s, if that's about the right time.

Those pat lines are the vintage equivalent of the Incel whisperers who lecture saddoes that they'll be irresistible if they tell women they're sluts.

Did it have the desired effect (ie. completely alienating the laydeee in question)?

She did see the funny side and a brief conversation was had, which was about as good a result as possible at the time I think.
