Three different pickup scenarios
The whole mantra of a successful pickup artist is flexibility. There are certain social situations where different types of pickups just won't work. This is the huge advantage in learning more than one method.
The three main scenarios that can be thought of when doing an approach are as follows: A club, A house party or engagement or cold approach in public. This covers 90% of the pickup scenarios.
When doing a pickup modify the approach to the situation you're in. As an example DO NOT DO a calm collected approach at a dance club because not only will you be fighting to be heard but you'll be fighting a feeling that is already built up in her. Use the excitement of the club and the fact that her heart rate is already high, to your advantage. Do an approach that is full of energy and something that is fun. As an example... go up to her and her friends (guy or girl, doesn't matter...) and say “Whoa! Looks like the party's over there! - then lean over and tell her “you'd so be mine if i wasn't gay”. This is a GREAT disarming statement because she automatically thinks that you're not going to be hitting on her. In psychological studies this is called a blind. You're misleading her preconceived notions of your approach. You can either get your wingman to lead the guys or other girls to where the action is happening & isolate your target or you can engage the group and win her friends over. A situation like this is absolutely phenomenal for being ****y & funny.
In house parties & social events where there are more people talking and listening to music than dancing you can be a lot more laid back. When the atmosphere is very relaxed you can engage the group by being c/f and isolate the target afterwards. In most house party situations you know at least a few people and this can work wonders being introduced by your “good friend”. You already have an “in” with the group. “Meet my friend Syncmaster, the palm reader.” The other advantage to this kind of situation is that there are a lot of quiet places to take the isolated girl. Once you have her alone try running the “cube” routine on her to build rapport. Everything revolves around rapport and with enough of it built up you could get away with pretty much anything. Look for 3 indicators of interest (IOI's) and step up to the next level.
There are two paths you can take in this situation. You can either number close her by saying “You've been really fun. How should we continue this conversation later.” This prevents her from the automatic “No” of “Can I have your phone number.” It also gives her an excuse to write down an e-mail.
If she writes down an e-mail try this... “Hey, while you're writing your e-mail down, jot your phone # down as well.”
OR
You can try using the “Warmth” routine or “Discovery Channel” pattern and build up her sexual interest & go from there.
The other scenario is a mall. Often I find malls the most difficult to approach in. It's an open environment, its somewhere she may not be familiar with, and if she is, you probably don't want to pick her up anyway! Lately I've liked to use a gimmick. I'll go to a perfume shop and get a cool smelling perfume sprayed on a card and a warm smelling perfume sprayed on a card (I'll say why in a second).
Do not spray it on yourself because you're looking for an opinion and you don't want a negative start to a conversation.
Walk up to a group of girls and if you can have their opinion. “Yes.” Tell them that you can't stay for long because you have to get back to your friends, back to work, etc... The first thing they'll think of when you approach is “when is he going to leave?”. Telling them you won't take long is disarming. Ask them who lies more, men or women? They'll usually say women. Confirm: “So you think women lie more”. By doing this you're getting them to say “yes” again. So far you've gotten them to say “yes” two times. This is called positive re-enforcement. The more you can get them to agree with you, the more they will feel that you two have a connection. Use the “Do women or men lie more” as a segue into asking their opinion on a cologne. “Can i ask you guys another quick opinion?” ... “sure”. Pass around the first sample to all the girls (Do not do them at the same time). Pass around the second sample. Say the following “Now before you answer which one you like more I need to know how old you guys are. The reason is I'm doing a study in psychology and I've asked dozens of women from ages 17 to 35 and almost every one of them has fallen under a certain category.” They all spout their ages and which ones they like. . . or you could guess by their age. You're 23, i bet you like the warm one more. You're 17, you like the cool one more. The age barrier between warm and cool is 20. Mature women like the warmer smells while adolescent women like the cooler stuff.
There are two paths you can take from here. If they seem like they're having fun you can apologize for ignoring your “target” and ask to borrow her for a few minutes. (You knew you were suppose to neg her from the beginning right???) and # close her.
Or you can use the “I can read your mind segue” to go into the “cube routine” and build up IL and rapport. Do not do the cube on your target if you plan on isolating her later. Whomever you're doing the routine on ask to “read her hand.” You can either look up with a shocked look and say “Oh my god, I've never met somebody so kinky in my entire life!” Watch the girls crackup (thanks for that locarius)!
Or you can say “Nah, you won't do” and watch her beg to have it done. Run the routine – say you have to get back to your friends and use the same line as the party. “How should we continue this conversation later.” And that's it.
