practice makes perfect. you can't laugh, but you can smile as if you're joking and then turn serious near the last part.

I'm sure if you know what youre doing, its the essence of pimp.

I personally prefer sincerity and spontaneity rather than strategy, tactics and training, but thats just me. :p

That is way too cheesy. I know that cheesy lines work great in sales but I'm not sure I could make that jump unless I was on vacation or something and didn't give a crap.

it works better when they set you up for it. this girl started to ask me what is my favorite channel, i told her discovery channel.... and pick up from there. so you should steer the conversation there so they don't suspect anything.

you're right, you need to write your own discovery channel story what i cut and paste was just an example for people to work on.

Being that its coming from a person who has "Fast Seduction 101" in his sig, I'd say that's his target audience.

It doesn't sound like the OP needs help picking them up, it sounds like he needs help keeping them in his hands.

that's the key, don't give a crap if it blows up... then when you don't give a crap, it suddenly doesn't become cheesy anymore.

not saying that it is perfect, just don't get embrassed or depressed if you get busted, just move on.

you'd be suprised how well this works... but you have to know when to do what, you can't use discovery channel story when you try to pick up a girl at a funeral.

I know it depends on where you live, and the time of year, but a much better move is the "Oh man it's hot, want to go take a dip?".

Once you got them in the ocean you have to take a shower to get the salt off when you get out.

That's a move anyone can pull off. Yours require studying....

Picking up women at funerals?! I'm trying to quit.

you are right, the most important thing is confidences, 1/2 of the people here won't have the courage to even use that line. i can post the entire website and it won't do them any good.

i remember when i used to be so shy, thinking that one day, a girl will come and find me ... well it doesn't really work that way.

i guess in the beginning, i learn about eye contact, which is very important... go to the mall or college commons, whatever, you should dress nice too, walk tall with confidence.

when you see a good looking girl, lock eye contact, don't stare, just lock eye contact. don't smile until they do... and very often they will smile at you. use this to build confidence. that's it, all you have to do is make eye contact... that's it...

There was never, ever, a good pickup line that began with "I was watching the Discoery Channel...."

Not to mention which, those were some of the most drawn-out, overly complicated and ridiculous pickup "essays" I've ever seen. Good luck with any of that... and what happens when SHE doesn't follow the script, do you say her parts too?

If you want to see them a second time, just be honest about it. If you were already successful the first time, and especially if you already slept with her, it shouldn't be that hard.

Like I said, I have absolutely no doubt it will work.

I just personally don't think a relationship should start off by treating the woman as prey. I prefer to tame the beast rather than capture it.

No, there was a poll about a year ago that confirmed this. :laugh:

Edit-My mistake, it was "Model Material" and over half of ATOT is dating model material...:roll:
