So over on this site called Tech.Chick.Blog, the author wrote a post about how guys can score with a geeky girl.  So if you’re a dude to knows all the blueprints to the Starship Enterprise, this is a must-check-out for you.

1) Why do geek girls find geek guys attractive? Does it go beyond the
ill-fitting clothes, the recent stench of stale pizza and spilled mountain
dew, and the CRT radiation-burned eyeballs?

    That look is one of a man who is almost guaranteed to know a few good Borg jokes, think you look cute with glasses on, and would jump at the chance to spend the entire weekend watching all three extended versions of LOTR in a row (while going through six pots of coffee) with you.

2) What can a geek guy do to get a geek girl to notice him?

    OK, boys.  This goes for every girl, not just the she-geeks:  Remember the names of her pets.   They double as her best friends, roommates, and babies, so you’d better know who is who.  Oh, that works if she has kids too.

    If she is nobody’s mommy, then ask her permission to add her as a friend on__(web 2.0 site)__. Why? Because you get an auto-halo for extra manners, and it makes you stand out.

3) Does a geek girl judge a geek guy on the technology that he surrounds
himself with?

    No, as long as nothing is from pre-2002. Or the technology of personal pleasure.

4) True/False: Geek girls are more affectionate than non-geek girls. Why?

    False in my case. I hate poetry, romantic movies, and long walks on the beach. Why? Because none of that stuff is funny, and I prefer to be laughing.

5) What is the one conversation topic that a geek girl can’t resist?

    Anything that involves you seeking her opinion on something, you listening to what it is, and you not staring at her breasts the whole time she’s talking.  And just make sure you aren’t asking her opinion of your naked photos.

6) Have you ever used your girl geekiness to sway the outcome of an event
that a geek boy controlled? Say, for example, your ability to acquire an
Xbox 360 on the day of release?

    YES. Why wouldn’t I? These things are like magic…melons.

7) Do geek boys make better longterm relationship partners that non-geeks?
Why?

    Yes. Because the couple that stumbles together, stays together.

8) True/False: Geek girls are impressed by geek boys that continuously show them how much smarter they are.

    False. Intelligence is totally seductive, but don’t try to flaunt it. Especially when you know I’ll beat you.

9) Amongst the members of the tribe ‘geek’, sexism does not exist. All
geeks are created equal, therefore all are paid equal. Is this true in your
experience?

    IT is like any other industry, and that question is boring.

10) What is the worst pick up line that a geek boy has used on you?

    “Wanna star in my podcast?” (see #5)

She forgot a couple VITAL techniques to use on Geek Girls that almost always work.  I’ll try and outline them for you guys out there who are into these types of chicks.

1.  Brush up on your anime.  Most geek girls are into some type of Japanese cartoon, so it helps your cause if you’ve seen "Vampire Hunter D" or something like that.

2.  Most geek girls really resent pop-culture pretty girls like Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, etc.  So if you make fun of those types of girls, you’ll score major points with your geek chick.

3.  Most geek girls will be into some type of massive multiplayer online game (usually warcraft).  Ask her about her character and next time you go on the game, look her up to socialize.

4.  If the girl’s not a tech geek, she might be a theater geek.  In that case, you may need to learn a thing or two about musicals and acting.

5.  Remember that every girl operates pretty much the same way emotionally, so at some point, you’re going to have to move away from the geeky stuff and appeal to the feminine side of her like you would any other girl.

6.  Geek girls seem to like sarcasm, so if you can be a little sarcastic with your humor, that can go a long way.  (I think this is because intelligent people pick up on sarcasm really well!)

Okay, I’m sure there’s more stuff you can do to score with a geek chick, I just can’t think of anything else.  If you have some tips in this area, leave a comment in this thread.

How To Initiate Conversation

July 9, 2007 by  
Filed under Tips & Tricks

I found an article about how to strike up conversations with people which is actually pretty good.  It sounds like whoever wrote this article has read my stuff on approaching and rapport – I’d be interested to know if that’s the case.  Anyway, the article is focused on how to start conversations with anyone – not just women – but the same rules apply.  Check out the highlights…

The Approach

When it comes to being social, the less analytical and formulaic you are the better. Try not to map out your every move and plan too much. Although we are talking about how to initiate conversation, these are really only tips. When it comes to the approach, though, there are some things you should keep in mind.

Different situations call for different approaches. Formal situations call for something more formal and relaxed ones should be relaxed.

At a work function, for instance, be a little formal and introduce yourself. People will want to know who you are and what you do right away. This isn’t to say you should only talk about work, but an introduction and handshake is appropriate.

If you’re at a bar then things are very different and you should be much more open to unstructured introductions. Personally, I don’t like the idea of walking directly to someone to talk to them. It’s too direct. I like the sense of randomness that comes with meeting new people.

However, if there is rapport already established, go for it. If not, take a wander, buy a drink and be aware of where people are. If there is someone you would like to talk to, make yourself available and not sit all night etc.

When someone is alone and looks bored, do them a favor and approach them. No matter how bad the conversation might get, they should at least appreciate the company and friendliness.

Briefly, Approaching Groups

When integrating with an established group conversation there is really one thing to know. That is to establish the ‘leader’ and introduce yourself to them. I mentioned that before, but here is how and why.

The Why is the leader of a group conversation is probably the more social and outgoing. They will more readily accept your introduction and then introduce you to the rest of the group. This hierarchy in a group conversation is much more prevalent in formal situations where one person is leading the conversation.

A group of friends out for the night is much more difficult to crack. This may even be another topic for discussion, but one thing I know that works is initiating conversation with a ’stray’. It sounds predatorial, but it works.

More often than not this occurs without intention, but if you do really want to get into a group of friends, your best bet is approaching one of them while they are away from the group and being invited into the group.

It is possible, like everything, to approach a group outright and join them. However, this is almost an art and requires another specific post.
How To Initiate Conversation

Topics Of Conversation

Other than confidence, the next thing people who have trouble initiating conversations lack is conversation! So here are a few tips to get the ball rolling.

  1. Small talk sucks. It’s boring and a lot of people already begin to zone out when questions like, “What do you do?” or “What’s with this weather?” come up. Just skip it.
  2. Everything is fair game. If you are in the company of someone and a thought strikes you, share it. “This drink is garbage! What are you drinking?” “Where did you get that outfit?”
  3. Opinions matter. This is any easy way to hit the ground running in conversation. Everyone has one, and when you share yours, another will reveal itself. The great thing about this line of thought is that you are instantly learning about the other person and what they like, dislike etc.
  4. Environment. The place you’re in is full of things to comment on. The DJ, band, fashions; start talking about what you see.
  5. Current Events. Unless it’s something accessible or light-hearted, forget it. Don’t launch into your opinion on the war. If your city has recently put a ban on smoking inside venues, like mine has, ask what they think about it.
  6. Speaking of smoking. If you are a smoker in such a city, you are in luck. Although there is the inconvenience of being ostracized outside to smoke, you are instantly thrust into a group of like-minded people. Consider this possibly the easiest forum for flirtation and new conversation.

So there’s some pretty good guidelines there.  If you’re having trouble talking people up, you may want to check this article out.

Some Do’s And Don’ts For Socializing

July 2, 2007 by  
Filed under Tips & Tricks

I found a great article on a site called Lifehack that lists some Do’s and Don’ts of being social.  And wouldn’t you know it?  A lot of them are applicable to meeting women!  Check out the Do’s…

Initiate conversation – A lot of people, while out, wait for other people to talk to them. Becoming the person that initiates conversation and breaks the ice is, as they say, half the battle. When you feel more comfortable doing this, you’ll find yourself meeting more and more interesting people and gaining fruitful friendships.

It can be somewhat daunting at first because of fear of rejection or being shut down. This will almost never happen. At worst you’ll receive a closed yet polite response. Just remember, people are out to be social. You have small groups of people who are sticking to themselves, but that doesn’t mean they don’t want to meet new people.

Smile – If you look like you’re unhappy you’ll be less approachable. This is an easy step to appearing open and social. When you initiate conversation, your smile should be mirrored and rapport will build from there.

Enjoy your company – When you look like you’re having fun you are instantly more likable. People want to know fun people, someone who enjoys company. While out with friends, have a good time. It may seem obvious, but many groups of people head out and do nothing but scan the room.

If you’re enjoying yourself, people will notice and want in on the action.

Acknowledge randoms – This can be as simple as a smile and a nod. When you make eye contact with a stranger, acknowledge it. If your smile is reciprocated, this will be an easy introduction. Later, initiate the conversation.

One of my favorite things to do while out is make friends with random people. How else do you make new friends? You’ll find the most fun and personally suitable people come from these random encounters.

Dress the part – I don’t find this the most important step, but it does make life a lot easier when you look like you belong somewhere. Now, I don’t mean losing any individuality. I mean don’t go out of your way to look unapproachable.

If you just came from work, for instance, loosen up. Unless it’s an after-work crowd you’ll find yourself out of place and more likely not to be approached. Personally, I don’t adhere to this rule very much, but it will make yourself that much approachable.

Then again, individuality goes a long way. Be yourself.

Listen – People enjoy talking about themselves. The worst, however, is when someone only waits for you to stop talking so they can begin again. Take a genuine interest in people. People are very interesting, so actively engage in a conversation. There is a lot to talk about in this world, small talk isn’t all that necessary – particularly because it can be painfully boring.

Converse, don’t rant – The best way to get good responses out of people is to ask good questions. Avoid ‘what do you do’ and ‘nice weather’ etc. Talk about something that interests you. People love explaining things they know, so when you don’t know what someone is talking about, ask them. Don’t pretend like you know, they will be more than happy to teach you.

Keep eye contact – Don’t scan the room while talking to someone. It is a clear indication you’re not interested in the conversation. If you really have no interest in what someone is saying, change the topic. Or excuse yourself. There’s a million reasons to end the encounter; not every conversation has to be meaningful.

Being able to look someone in the eyes is directly related to some recognizing honesty [see Fundamentals Of Eye Contact]

Keep open body language – Whether alone or not, avoid closing yourself off by crossing your arms etc. Remain open, remain active [see Closed Body Language]. People will generally not approach wallflowers. And in any case, what fun is there to be had just standing around?

Do stuff – It’s hard to talk about your day when you haven’t done anything. Don’t think that you don’t need to do any work in a conversation. Try to engage the other person and be interesting. Call on another time you were at this particular venue. Did you read something interesting today? Mention it and ask opinions. Everyone’s got them.

All excellent suggestions.  I recommend you guys check out the full article.

How To Get Rid Of Neediness

June 22, 2007 by  
Filed under Tips & Tricks

So a guy going by the handle Green over on mASF had a question about overcoming neediness…

Green
Recently I thought about times when i had conversations with girls,and analysed what i have said in those convos , i realised that I sometimes act needy.

ItВґs very difficult to see your needyness yourself unless someone tells you or you think back and realize it. And then itВґs tooo late!

How do you guys dust off all your needyness that you have towards women?

IВґm grateful for any responses and advice that anyone has!

I found this question to be quite interesting because, well, I think a lot of guys suffer from this.

When talking to a woman, SO MANY guys are like a starving dog, wagging their tails, excited that they might actually get laid.

And though it might not be obvious to them, it’s obvious to pretty much everyone else.

Other than approach anxiety, I’d say learning to overcome neediness is the biggest obstacle a newbie has to face.

The best way, in my opinion, to get rid of neediness is to shift your focus away from that which is causing you to be needy.

First of all, what do you feel you need?

Is it sex?  Validation?  Emotional connection?  All of the above?  Figure that out first.  What is it that’s causing you to be needy?

For most guys, once they get the sense that they might actually have a chance of having sex with a girl, it’s like a slab of meat has just been thrown to a hungry dog.  They pounce on it, because they want it so bad!

And when you go after something so directly, it can scare people off.

So if you notice you’re getting needy because you want to have sex, shift your focus to something else!  Instead of looking to get this girl into bed, say to yourself "You know what?  Let’s forget about that for now, and just focus on getting to know her (or have fun with her)."

Once you shift your focus, you can start to relax, because the "pressure to get her into bed" will disappear.

Another way to do this is to find something that fulfills your need.  Ever notice how married guys or guys with girlfriends seem to attract women easier than single guys?  That’s because they’re getting their sex needs fulfilled, so they tend to relax around girls, and that relaxed attitude helps make the girls attracted to them – because they naturally tease them, joke with them, and have fun with them.

Inner Game: How To Enrich Your Life

June 20, 2007 by  
Filed under Tips & Tricks

So I found a great article called 39 Ways To Live And Not Merely Exist.  It’s basically a bunch of tips to help us start enjoying our lives more.  Some of them are good, some I don’t agree with, but the spirit of all of them is totally applicable to pretty much everyone.  Here are my favorites from the article…

   1. Love. Perhaps the most important. Fall in love, if you aren’t already. If you have, fall in love with your partner all over again. Abandon caution and let your heart be broken. Or love family members, friends, anyone — it doesn’t have to be romantic love. Love all of humanity, one person at a time.

   2. Get outside. Don’t let yourself be shut indoors. Go out when it’s raining. Walk on the beach. Hike through the woods. Swim in a freezing lake. Bask in the sun. Play sports, or walk barefoot through grass. Pay close attention to nature.

   5. Take chances. We often live our lives too cautiously, worried about what might go wrong. Be bold, risk it all. Quit your job and go to business for yourself (plan it out first!), or go up to that girl you’ve liked for a long time and ask her out. What do you have to lose?

   6. Follow excitement. Try to find the things in life that excite you, and then go after them. Make life one exciting adventure after another (with perhaps some quiet times in between).

   7. Find your passion. Similar to the above tip, this one asks you to find your calling. Make your living by doing the thing you love to do. First, think about what you really love to do. There may be many things. Find out how you can make a living doing it. It may be difficult, but you only live once.

  11. Travel. Sure, you want to travel some day. When you have vacation time, or when you’re older. Well, what are you waiting for? Find a way to take a trip, if not this month, then sometime soon. You may need to sell your car or stop your cable bill and stop eating out to do it, but make it happen. You are too young to not see the world. If need be, find a way to make a living by freelancing, then work while you travel. Only work an hour or two a day. Don’t check email but once a week. Then use the rest of the time to see the world.

  15. Be positive. Learn to recognize the negative thoughts you have. These are the self-doubts, the criticisms of others, the complaints, the reasons you can’t do something. Then stop yourself when you have these thoughts, and replace them with positive thoughts. Solutions. You can do this!

  18. Face your fears. What are you most afraid of? What is holding you back? Whatever it is, recognize it, and face it. Do what you are most afraid of. Afraid of heights? Go to the tallest building, and look down over the edge. Only by facing our fears can we be free of them.

  25. Learn new skills. Constantly improve yourself instead of standing still — not because you’re so imperfect now, but because it is gratifying and satisfying. You should accept yourself as you are, and learn to love who you are, but still try to improve — if only because the process of improvement is life itself.

  32. Break out from ruts. Do you do things the same way every day? Change it up. Try something new. Take a different route to work. Start your day out differently. Approach work from a new angle. Look at things from new perspectives.

  34. Laugh till you cry. Laughing is one of the best ways to live. Tell jokes and laugh your head off. Watch an awesome comedy. Learn to laugh at anything. Roll on the ground laughing. You’ll love it.

  39. Be in the moment. Instead of thinking about things you need to do, or things that have happened to you, or worrying or planning or regretting, think about what you are doing, right now. What is around you? What smells and sounds and sights and feelings are you experiencing? Learn to do this as much as possible through meditation, but also through bringing your focus back to the present as much as you can in everything you do.

I’d highly recommend everyone check out this article and start following a few of its suggestions.  It really is so important to truly live your life and not waste it on stupid things like watching TV or being afraid of meeting a girl.

The Alexander Technique – How Posture Can Affect Your Pickup

Filed under Tips & Tricks

The Stylelife guys have released a few interesting videos that deal with improving your posture/body language using something called the Alexander Technique, which seems to be a healing type of exercise designed to help you feel better physically, and therefore increase your confidence/presence.  I have a friend of mine who actually takes a class on this and he says it makes him feel great.

I’d post the videos here on the site for you guys, but some retard turned off the embedding function over on YouTube, so I’m just going to give you direct links.

Improving Your Posture Part 1

Improving Your Posture Part 2

It really is amazing how doing something as simple as changing your posture can have a profound effect on your confidence.  I think it’s important to remember that the body had a direct effect on emotions, and if you want to change your emotions, the easiest way to do that is to change your body language.

Supercharging Your Self-Esteem

June 15, 2007 by  
Filed under Tips & Tricks

A guy named Dreamcruiser over on mASF had a nice little post about how to rev up your state before you go out to da club.

Dreamcruiser writes:
Quite some time ago, when we started to frequently go out at night with friends, we had a special ritual to boost our state and bring everyone in the right party mood.

This was mainly because back then, none of us had much money and warming up with drinks in bars and clubs was too expensive.

So we all gathered at one of our friends place about an hour before going out. Each of us had a special video tape, with music videos and funny stuff on it, recorded for the sole purpose of getting everyone in a good state.

During the weekdays, we recorded the latest clubbing music videos (usually with loads of hot girls), short funny clips of various comedys, funny outtakes and even short clips of wrestling matches. Just everything that was really funny or exciting. Then on the weekend evenings, when we met at my friends place, we sat together with one or two beers and watched all the videos at full volume on his big ass TV. We laughed our ass off to the funny clips and the latest hot music videos got us in dancing mood. The combination of all your good friends having fun together, watching funny stuff and hot girls, listening to good music and enjoying a beer got us in god mode immediately.

When we started to feel like singing along with each song and the athmosphere was boiling, we rushed to the biggest club in town as fast as possible. No need to tell you we entered the scene as if the whole club fuckin belonged to us.

There were four large cages around the dancefloor with all the HBs dancing inside, while all AFCs were just standing around drooling. As soon as we got there, everyone of us stormed into one of the cages and had fun with the girls there. We were just so POWERED UP and state boosted, that we didn’t care for a second about anything but having fun and enjoying the moment.

There’s always been a lot of talk about state boosting methods in the community. But letters you read to yourself in front of the mirror to make you believe you are the shit are just not working as effectively as this method back then was.

So my advice is: dig out this secret weapon and use it to rock your place like a tornado. We’re in the digital age now, that makes it a lot easier to put together awesome state booster compilations on CD, DVD or even your harddrive.

Here’s what to do:

1.) Collect your favorite (party) music videos. For me this is usually house-music and some hiphop (usually hot girls in the videos also), but just choose what you like. Important: no calm, depressing or boring stuff. Also, you want to avoid that hardcore heavy metal stuff that makes you angry and aggressive. Just go for cool party music. And did i mention that lots of hot asses in the videos never hurt, haha.

2.) Collect some funny clips. Youtube style. Just short amateur clips you can find anywhere on the net – but only the best. They should make you and your friends laugh at it over and over again.

3.) If possible, put together some short movies clips and/or pictures of you and your friends having fun. Stuff that you recorded during your nights out, during the hollidays or other times where you just had a really good time.

4.) Collect some hot party movies, like from spring break or any other big party where everyone is just feeling perfect.

Then just drop all of this on a cd or dvd. Mix up the music videos with the party movies, drop in some funny clips here and there and also the clips of you and your friends.

Some facts about how this works:

Our brain has so called mirror-neurons. In short – they make us FEEL the things we SEE. Even when the things we see don’t affect us personally at all. That’s why we get horny when watching porn, or sad if some movie character dies, get scared from horror movies and so on. And that’s also why we get happy when looking at smiling people. So whatever it is that you see in your statebooster DVD, will put you in a similar state.

Through NLP you can conncet certain impulses to one ore more of your senses to emotions. For example, if you always listen to a special song while chilling, then this song will put you in a relaxed and calm state once you hear it. Or each time you are out and feeling god-like, you wear a special shirt. Then your mind connects wearing that shirt to feeling god-like and you will automaticly feel better each time you wear it.

Putting together a statebooster DVD is many times that strong!! Why? Because it triggers multiple senses at once. You SEE the videos, you HEAR the music, you FEEL your friends around you and all of these impulses are connceted to feeling god-like. You can even enhance that effect by adding a special drink (cocktail or something) you only drink during such "warmup" occassions and thus adding the TASTE state-trigger.

Important: All of these state triggers have to be connected in your mind with very positive states. That means you have to REALLY LIKE these songs and you have to REALLY LAUGH at the funny clips. But NEVER watch this DVD when feeling really bad. It may lift you up a bit temporarly, but you will destroy the effect of the DVD forever, because your mind will then conncet the triggers to feeling bad. Otoh, you could just put together a new compilation.

And you can always add new stuff to this compilation. Just keep the best stuff (these things will become "classics" and "insiders"), and replace everything else with better stuff you find over time.

ENJOY!!!!!

Never underestimate the importance of state control.  Knowing how to make yourself feel good is crucial to raising your self-esteem and feeling confident.  Dreamcruiser suggests a good visual way of amping yourself up.  Another good way is listening to music that gets you excited and feeling good.  But like he also says, NEVER watch or listen to these things when you’re depressed or not feeling good in an effort to "cheer yourself up."  you only want to associate your "state chargers" with good feelings, not bad ones.

Video Of A Live Approach

So this guy Oliver, an asian pick up artist who runs the website captivatetoconnect.com, sent me a video of a live pick-up he did.  Check it out:

So as you can see, it is possible to walk up to girls with this stuff and get a good result.  A lot of what he does in the video is covered in detail in my book The Art Of Approaching.  But when you boil everything down, a successful pickup/number close really is just about gainign rapport witht he girl you’re talking to, which I think Oliver did pretty well in the video.

Lots of guys think there’s a "special" way you have to talk to girls to get this stuff to work, but it really is just about being conversational, friendly, and playful.  I think Oliver did a good job of conveying that in the video.  As you can see, he’s not talking all that slow (in fact, he’s quite a fast talker).  He’s not even all that loud.  But he IS engaging, which is the important part of the equation.

5 Things Never To Say On A First Date

A guy named David Zinczenko posted an article on Yahoo about five things you should never say on a first date.  According to David (who authored the book Men, Love, & Sex, The Complete Users Guide For Women), first dates are like the ultimate relationship chess match.

He gives a few examples of what he things you should say INSTEAD of the typical boring stuff.  See below…

Say This: What do you do for fun?
Not That: What’s your job like?
      

Standard question, sure. But it’s one that will elicit a standard answer-good people, I like what I do, blah blah blah. While most will certainly get the employment issue covered, the conversation will be more engaging-and you’ll be more appealing-if you try to home in on those outside interests. Certainly skydiving, poodle rescue, or soup kitchens have got to be more interesting than conference calls and Power Points.      

Say This: You look fantastic
Not That: Good to see you

It may very well be good to see her, but that greeting is about as vanilla as a McDonald’s shake. Instead, it’s all about conveying enthusiasm-without having stalker sirens go off. No need for standing ovations, but a simple compliment sets the tone. The tactic isn’t just for men to use on women, but can be especially effective in the reverse.

I will say this:  Its always better to talk about things that are INTERESTING rather than "hum-drum" or "standard."  I think David hit on this pretty well in the article.

If you’re going to compliment a woman, make it an original compliment.  Don’t say "You look fantastic!"  Say "Wow, you have in incredible sense of style!  I don’t think I’ve ever seen you look so beautiful."  That goes MUCH further than your typical "brush-off" compliment.

Not only that, but when you ask a question, you want to phrase it in such a way that it actually ENGAGES the woman.  So instead of asking "What do you do?" you could say something like "If you could do anything in the world, and were not limited by time, space, or gravity, what would you want to be doing?"

There’s lots of ways you can play it.  But typical rule of thumb:  Be as interesting as possible on the first date!

Opening Girls Who Are On The Phone

Zardoz over on mASF had a question about how to open girls who were on their cell phone…

Zardoz writes:
Cellphones are the bane of the PUA. I want to know how you all deal with this issue.

As I see it, there are two situations in which cells hinder a sarge,

1: You can’t make an approach because the target is on the phone.

2: You have intitiated the seduction, then her phone rings and she opens it up and starts yacking.

Well?

Some dude named Cinder had a pretty nice reply…

Cinder writes:
Personally what I do for phones is the same
that I do with if they stop to do anything other than listen to what I
say: a mini-freezeout via stopping what I’m talking about mid-sentence.
So if she gets a call, I’ll stop and say "you can take that" OR if she
reaches for it, I’ll just stop the thread mid conversation (my personal
favorite). The trick with this one though is that if she says "go
ahead, I’m listening", then to treat it like nothing is happening and
to talk and carry on the thread as usual because *she IS investing into
the interaction like I am*.

Oh yeah, I wouldn’t suggest to walk off.  The set is definitely still good.  Hell, every set is always still good, let alone these instances.

Opening a girl who is on the cell phone is NOT A BIG DEAL AT ALL.
Anyone can do it with success. I vividly remember multiple times *early
in my pua
career where I’d open a girl, and she would just stop and say on the
phone "let me call you back" and quickly hang up on the person. I think
the trick is, just after you get her attracted
or pass the hook point, ask her "are you talking to someone or
something?". I’ve opened plenty of girls on cell phones before. It’s no
different. It’s seriously all there for looks… like she THINKS this
will stop guys from talking to her. In all reality, she probably is
holding it up because SHE’LL ACTUALLY STOP AND TALK IF SOMEONE TRIES TO
OPEN HER.. haha, and this is her defense.

I think that’s a pretty good strategy over-all.  Don’t let phones intimidate you.  The girl can always call the person they’re talking to back.  =)

Dance Floor Game

April 10, 2007 by  
Filed under Tips & Tricks

If you’re a club-goer, you’ll know that having "dance floor game" is pretty essential to picking up chicks.  After all, in a club where the music is thumping so loud you can’t hear anything else, knowing how to dance is freakin’ essential.

Some guy who goes by the nick Bandit, who by his own admission was a "semi-professional" dancer, made a little video on dance floor game for you to check out.

Now, if you’re a big lump like me, you don’t need to to bust moves like Bandit.  I find that just getting on the dance floor and having the balls to shake your thang with any random girl will usually be enough to get your game on.  But Bandit gives some good moves in his video, so if you want to practice that, you should be in good shape.

Of course, you could try killing two birds with one stone and taking a dance CLASS, so not only do you learn how to dance, but you’re able to meet some women in the process.  =)
