You know, one of the things I've learned about what works with women, is that you shouldn't prejudge what works with women. Often, it is the very approaches that seem the most absurd that actually hold the most potential, precisely because they are so far outside what we are used to doing(and that applies to progress in many areas of life; it's the non-obvious and counter-intuitive, if not absurd, that can actually work best. Call it Dada-ist pick-up if you will. Now, can we predict what will work, with total certainty, with any individual woman? No, surely not. There are too many random variables in the life of any individual, male or female to predict what approach will "work". In the case of pick-up, a woman might be madly in love with a guy, she might be gay, she might be one of those few who have the bad taste to dislike me no matter what I do. But in the same way we can never predict what one or two droplets of moisture will do in the cloud, or exactly how the individual cloud might move, we can pretty accurately predict the movement of the storm front. And overall, there are principles of engaging the imagination of women in a positive way that consistently work. That's what I'm teaching. Thanks for commenting. RJ 93/93 "Love under Will shall be the whole of the law" P.S. To any male reading this: there's what women SAY they want. There's what women THINK they want. And then there's what women actually RESPOND to. Just pay attention to that last one.

Yep. Totally agree with previous comment. LAME. AND douchey.

i don't think any of these would work unless the girl is totally drunk and desperate, a whore, or has a thing for douchebaggery (or maybe all three). any of these "moves" done on a normal girl would get met with a big fat denial...and not because girls are too harsh, but because this shit is lame.

Number 3 is the only one I've ever known to work on either side. And only when it is honest. "Where is the made-up-thing?" is transparent. But when you can say, "I bought that book for my sister and she loved it." then you can have a normal conversation. Number one only works in bars. Women get stalked and harassed so much, that one and four would scare most of us in a mall. Especially 4. Two only works if we just really want to sleep with you and don't care what you say as long as you are talking to us. And don't forget these two: random acts of kindness. Having a quarter handy when someone is fishing for change or catching a package they are dropping is one of the best ways to meet people. Shared experiences, especially chuckling eye-rolling at the insanity of the holidays. "I hope we get to the front of this line before Christmas." or "Who does that Santa think he's kidding?"

besides #4, have you actually tried any of these techniques?
