Dating is a popular subject when it comes to dating a man in the oil and gas industry. They are famous for having more than one girlfriend and a wife with a family back home. Most women who date in the industry know what West Texas Single is. In case you don't, it's when men consider themselves single while working in a different city but have a wife or girlfriend back home.

Considering I'm in my early thirties and a part of the female population, I have my share of pickup attempts to add to this category. One thing I have learned as an adult is that creativity in pickup lines is almost non-existent. Some common ones mention not having a wedding ring on or my boyfriend doesn't have to know. As I said, no creativity.

This made me wonder if every woman in the area had to hear the same horrible pickup lines I have had to. I asked West Texas women what were the worst pickup lines they had to endure from an oilfield worker and they did not fail me. Some of the lines were the normal one-liners I have heard more than I would like but some were so shocking I was left with my draw dropped.

Here are 14 of the best worst pickup lines out of West Texas.
