trick to use on cold girls

[Shiftkey]

Say you approach a girl and start chatting her up. Her name is Lindsy. After you talk to Lindsy for at least 30 seconds or so (could be longer though), say something along the lines of: "Most girls I've known named Lindsy aren't very nice. I'm glad you seem nice. You seem like an exception."

Say this even if she doesn't seem very nice yet (unless she's a total b1tch). She'll try to redeem the "Lindsy name" by making more of an effort to be nice to you.

I recently stumbled across this trick by accident. I was talking to a girl named Lindsy in one of my classes, who was kind of ignoring me and not making any effort in the convo (which I later figured to be because she's in a LTR). About a minute into the convo I asked for her name, Lindsy. I made the comment that most girls named Lindsy aren't nice because in my experience this has been true

. But I called her nice just to compliment her, hoping to make her a bit more friendly.

It obviously worked (though not for my original reason) because ever since that she's been MUCH more friendly. She also brings up that comment often as if she's trying to prove how nice she is!

That is a very useful tip. Thanks Shiftkey for sharing it.

Great tip Shiftkey. I did something similar to this the other day. When I asked her name, she said, "Andrea". I said, "Oh great I can already tell we're going to get along really well. I've had some bad experiences with Andreas." At first she seemed put off by this, but in the end she was really trying to prove how nice she was. I love this tip!

This works in a much more general sense. You don't have to do the name thing....people will try to live up to WHATEVER compliment you give them.

The name thing is just a convenient delivery vehicle; if you're creative there are lots of ways to deliver it that are a lot less AFC than 'You're really nice'

I see what you're saying and agree that it can be delivered in different ways. But I'd just like to clarify a common misconception. Compliments are NOT AFC. Compliments generally make a person feel better, and because you're the one giving the compliment they associate that better feeling with you. Giving too many compliments IS AFC. But only because you'll make her feel like you aren't sincere and you're trying too hard to get on her good side. You'll definately sound fake and will possibly be less of a challenge to her.

Thanks for the feedback guys, keep it coming.

All you are doing is playing with their mind and I love to mess with girls. Good tip I'll use it soon and I'll tell you how it went.

And there is no such thing as a no on a pickup. A sale is made on every pickup you do. Either you sell the women some DJ skills or she sells you a reason she can't give you her number. Either way a sale is made, the only question is who is gonna close? You or her? Now be relentless, that's it, I'm done.

Actually I think that could improve the psychological effect of this technique, because a hot chick won't want to be thought of as "really nice". She wants to be hot, sexy, desirable etc...

Imagine if a hot girl called YOU "really nice". (It happens shortly before she says "LJBF").
