UPDATE: Read Sarah's explanation of the catalyst for #TradPickUpLines, including the first few:
- Would you like to glorify God through traditional gender roles with me?
- Excuse me, I think you have the rib I'm missing. Would you like to help me promote the culture of life?
- You were created to be my helpmeet. Let's subdue the earth together
- Let's raise a quiver full of traditionalist culture warriors.
- Would you like to break the bread that you baked with me?
- Would you like to not practice NFP with me?
- Let's change your headcovering from white to black.(Married women wear black mantillas.)

"What's a nice veiled girl like you doing at a folk mass like this?" Hahahaha!
I love it! Thanks for doing all the work of putting these together!
yeah, these were fun!
I noticed you got busted on the hand-holding! :^)=) This was indeed fun. Couple verged on the racy, and a couple verged on the patronizing — c'mon, folks! Trads aren't all sedevacantists! — but good fun nonetheless.
Thanks for the chronological anthology! I was too busy with homework to keep track of it all, but it was great seeing all the Catholic creativity on Twitter.
Some of the lines are worth mentioning and witty.
