Note: these are mostly learned through observation rather than experience. although the once learned through experience tend to confirm with the ones observed.
Pickup lines- Don't use them. They generally only work one out of ten times, and only if they're slightly amusing and the woman is feeling sympathetic. A simple, hello, my name is _______ whats your name will usually suffice.
Wingmen- Be very careful about who you pick as a wingman. a wingman is a lofty title given to the guy who is equally or less attractive than yourself, and has no real interest in dating at the present time. If you've got a good wingman they should be able to distract all of the friends of the girl you're trying to approach long enough for you to steal here away and get into a conversation with her. If you're smart, you'll pick a gregarious guy with little shame who doesn't mind making an ass of himself and likes telling charming stories about you or about his adventures with you. NEVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD YOU TEAM UP WITH A "LADIES MAN". This guy will cockblock you all night long and you will soon find yourself entertaining the friends of the girl you were interested in while HE steals her away and starts talking with her.
Being a wingman is kindof like poker, if you don't know who the rube is, then it's you.
Anecdotes-be very cautious when telling stories about yourself. They tend to make you look like a self-absorbed jackass. One is usually fine, as long as it's fairly brief and is vaguely interesting. If the girl is already enthralled with you for whatever reason then you can probably get away with three, but why push it? just seal the deal and get her number/e-mail. or if she's really into you just take her home.
However, the best way to let in anecdotes is to have your friends tell them while still in her group of friends. this draws the unwanted attention away from you and if it's a flattering story then it'll drum up support with her friends about you.
Location- Always go with your strong suits. If you're a good talker, work your magic at parties that don't have much in the way of music or distractions. Remain fairly sober and be the guy that people remember as the one who was good to talk to. If words aren't your thing, then dance clubs and locations with loud music are your best option. in these locations grace and body language mean everything, so if you aren't a good dancer already, you should learn.
Topics- Stick to what you know. girls can smell lies and false pretenses a mile away. Furthermore, try to refrain from the following subjects if at all possible: Religion, politics, and past relationships/ sexual experiences. Politics and religion just give her a list of things that you guys don't have in common. And talking about your exes is just bad form. The only girl she's interested in you discussing is her.
Language- be respectful, but memorable. Don't tell the girl that she's got a huge rack or a hot ass (unless all you want is a one-night stand, if then by all means). But do use clever phrasing and seldom but appropriate words whenever possible. Instead of saying "cool" or "awesome" or "sweet" say something more clever. For example: "wicked", "boss", etc. Clever terminology is even more memorable. If you can use the phrase "pimp-ass-dune-buggy" in a sentence for example, the girl will remember you. Depending on your target, then your terminology will change, but the overall goal of being respectful while memorable remains the same.
Targets- DO NOT go after the girl who has all the guys fawning over her. she won't be going home with any of them, nor giving them her number. Go after the girls who either look like they are having a good time and you want to contribute, or if you're more of the sensitive type, go for the girl who looks mildly uncomfortable or lonely.
Note: I said mildly uncomfortable or lonely, not excessively uncomfortable or heartbroken. You do not want to be the guy who burns his whole night comforting the girl who just had a fight with her boyfriend. I assure you, nine times out of ten he'll call back before the night is done and apologize to her. she'll thank you for being a good listener and then she'll go fuck her boyfriend. don't be that guy.
The girls who are mildly uncomfortable or lonely are the ones who came with their friends but their friends are already paired off with guys already or they just don't like the particular scene that you are in. If you've already followed the directions about location then you should be in your element here and you can show her a good time and turn what was going to be an awkward/lonely evening into a good evening. and she'll most likely be grateful. And if you've played your cards right, she'll be looking forward to you calling her.
Knowing when to bail- two parts to this topic, when to bail on a target and when to bail on the location.
A woman can generally tell within the first ten seconds of talking to you whether or not she'd fuck you. If all you're looking for is sex, then all you need is to judge her reactions to those first ten seconds. If you're actually looking for a possible girlfriend instead of a one-night stand, you need to push past those first ten. Obviously pay attention to them (if she doesn't want to fuck you now, then why would she want to date you?), but once you're past you still need to pay attention. The best advice I can give you is to watch her eyes. If she starts to glance away every so often, that means she's losing interest. either change the subject to something that might interest her, or bail. If she stops looking at you entirely, she's done. politely thank her for the conversation and move on. don't ask for her number, just go.
As far as the location goes, it very much depends on your success rate. if you've already gotten one or two legit contacts, then you can feel free to leave fairly early. It lets the girls you're pursuing know that they are important to you and you not desperate. It gives the sense that you were only interested in them, and now that you feel confident that you'll see them again, you don't need to waste anymore time talking to random women who aren't them. Of course if the night is going especially good then you don't want to leave until she's ready to leave. And if the night is going poorly you can either ply your trade for awhile and write the evening off as a waste, or you can stay until the numbers have dwindled down significantly. If you stay this late, DO NOT keep trying to pick up on women. Use this time to make friends with the regulars and the people who work at the venue. These people will be invaluable next time around because they will create an automatic reputation for you, and will allow you to operate without a wingman. This is done by using the regular or the employee as a conduit by which to introduce yourself to the conversation and the woman.
Example: "hey larry, how's it going?"
"Pretty good, Jarriet right?"
"indeed my man, we met last week."
"oh thats right, how goes it?"
"pretty good, just making my rounds, saying hi to everyone, oh, who's this beautiful thing you're talking to?" "oh, thats ______, ________ brought her."
"oh, ______, A pleasure to meet you, I think I met your friend _____ last week."
And so on, and so forth. Great tactic, works well. mainly because the girl is social required to give you the time of day until you make an ass of yourself or overstay your welcome.
If you use this tactic, make sure to just get slightly past introductions before you excuse yourself to go greet other people. Once you've completed your rounds, track the girl down and begin an actual conversation, this is easier because you've already broken the ice and you already know eachother's names.
Thats all I got for you now. If you've got some gems you'd like to share or some corrections you'd like to see me make, by all means let me know.
