"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Let's get some streaming video on this, or some other, site. We could get some veteran DJs to go out and get some of their techniques on camera, then upload it on this site.

Reading is good, but actually seeing how it is done would help immeasurably.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

That is a really good idea and I second that notion. However, is someone willing to take the time and energy to do this? Also, what is it gonna look like if youre taping a chick you just met with a camcorder during your pickups? Good idea but alot of problems.

Im pretty sure that would take A LOT of disk space. And if we cant have the forum jump enabled kuz it takes too much space, what are the chances of this?

how do they videotape the "blind date" show?
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

They follow the people with cameras. Then they edit the tape, and add personal touches to it...

Hmmm. Hidden cameras would work, but it might be problematic to implement. There must be a way...

Go to one of those spy catalogs. I haven't looked for one online but remember seeing one years ago. They have alot of them in New York supposedly.

I'm sure they have all types of cool video devices there.

I know video-taping the pick-ups would be beneficial to a lot of us, but isn't it illegal to get someone on camera, and publish it on the internet without their consent?
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Guys, are you nuts or something? Its not realistic - to videotape a pickup???

You need a super small camera, or the targer must be in your environment, like with big camera installed behind a mirror.

The only thing that is possible is to record only audio and that's it. And we'll have to share it not through this site, but some other way.

How about showing (streaming) important exerpts from movies and then commenting on it? These often have good info on how to pick up too... obviously this is less uncomfortable for both the DJ and the chick.

Just a suggestion :D
