The Worst Pickup Move Ever

[bigneil]

"Ladies, that shy loser over there would like to offer to buy you both a drink (on his credit card) without your even having once glanced in his direction. However, the guy you are with can buy his own drink."

Unless your goal is maximum supplication of women and maximum alienation of men (with a side of shamelessness), please don't do this. Buying a girl you are talking to a drink is bad enough.

So... (swings arm round girl cheesily) you got a boyfriend?

Last night I was chatting up 2 girls at the bar and had already had one offer me her business card when in floated the 2 drinks from Random Man. I actually had talked to the guy at the same bar earlier that week, so if he had bought us all one it would have been different, like he was joining our group.

In that situation, a much better strategy would be to approach the man you know in the group and shake his hand to get the ball rolling. Then maybe buy a round. But anyhow, the girls awkwardly let him sit between them so I took off and left them with him. Given that he was 15 years older than them and of a different race it probably didn't go well.

I used the first line last night. Convo lasted 20 seconds...haha

What lines do you usually use to start up a convo?

I saw this somewhere and I base most of my bar approaches like this (and most day approaches):

Walk up to bar, half turned toward chick. Say hi and smile. If she smiles back and says hi I say what's your name? If she replies I shake her hand and say nice to meet you.

now I "test" her. I say nothing at all and order a drink. If she's not interested she will stop talking. If she's interested whatsoever she will ask my name. Then I just have a convo.

Easy.

I will buy a drink if i perceive high interest after some small talk and then after that first drink i will propose a shot on me...i used to be against this strategy but lately it has been paying off big time...

I make small talk based on the situation, get there name, start having a laugh, if I'm getting high interest ill buy them a drink and escalate!

I hate opening chicks in bars. I feel like a fukkin' monkey.

It's like... I know why I'm chatting her up, she knows why I'm chatting her up, everyone around us knows why I'm chatting her up, the history of life on this planet knows why I'm chatting her up... like I'm just spewing some pre-planned script that has been laid out in front of me and I'm some meaty animal blindly following the lead of 3.5 billion years of evolution.

Basically I feel like a total as*hole. Guess that's why I do it online. At least there for some reason I don't have to feel like some drone carrying through with the desperate spreading of my seed to the next generation.

And it's just when I'm opening chicks that I feel this way. Once the conversation has been started, I chat them up easily and without feeling like a soulless animal. But, when I have to open a chick by pretending I'm interested in something other than sticking my meat pole in her slot and squirting my seed into her eggs, I feel like a complete tool.

Maybe it's the silliness of the ritual. If a guy could go up and say, "Those are the nicest titties I've seen all week, want to go back to your place and f*ck?" I wouldn't have such a problem with it. But all the pretend bullsh*t is what makes me feel like a dork.

Zarky, you can't worry about what others think...and if you are successful, you can bet all the guys will be envious as hell if she is hot...i much prefer meeting women out and about to online dating.....

and yes, the pretend sh&t is stupid, but unfortunately necessary...you also have to pretend big time in online dating..hell when it comes to first meeting any woman you have to pretend and do the BS ritual...
